Life Changes this week!

I know most of you probably don't care much about this at all but Matt and I are starting to potty train Sammie this weekend. She's been using the potty inconsistently for almost 9 months so Matt is eager to get her on full-time! So far, nothing very successful today, but it's only day one. We will try again tomorrow and Sunday and the rest of the week and see how she does. If anyone has any suggestions/hints, please feel free to tell. We are open to anything right now.

The other big news this week is that I have started Weight Watchers...I know some of you may be thinking it's about time! Well, I agree! I've got less than 365 days until I'm 30 and I want to be able to slip into an outfit that I wore in college before the big "30!" I think of the song by Tim McGraw...My Next Thirty Years. How true it is! I don't want to waste away the next thirty by doing the same poor habits I've learned over these past thirty! Matt and I have also joined to local gym, which I haven't had a chance to go to this week but will this weekend! And my first goal is to be able to job/walk a 5K before Easter...that is before we take a trip to Illinois!!! I've got eight weeks! Please pray for discipline, endurance, consistancy, and motivation! The four keys that I seem to lack these past years!

Hope you all have a great weekend! Take care, and please if you're reading this, please leave us a comment so that we know you've visited our blog! God Bless!

Of course we read your blog! Ok, potty training advice...buy her a gift she really wants. Place it high above the toilet as motivation. When she's achieved potty training, she gets the prize. Call it bribery, but hey the kids pees in the pot.

I'll be praying for you in your weight and exercise goals!

We will be praying for you with the exercise and eating dicipline and also for the potty training!!! I would have some advice for you but Elisabeth has been reverting lately so I can't say that our methods have been that great!!! She has a mind of her own!
