I Cheated

I have to admit it, I am a Cheater.

 I cheated on my diet yesterday. Eric and I went on a double date night with my parents to Red Robin for dinner last night and I had the Bruchetta Chicken Sandwich. And It Was DELICIOUS. I ate that thing so fast I beat my dad (not an easy feat). 

 I had had a terrible bad day and I was in such a cranky mood that in a moment of weakness I went back to my old ways. While I only made it 22 days totally meat free I did notice a new pattern. I am eating less. I didn't have any of my fries at dinner last night, just the sandwich and was completely stuffed. I actually shouldn't have eaten the whole sandwich - I would have been just fine. 

 So while I did fail in one area I did accomplish one thing, start eating less. The reason I've gained so much weight is because #1 I love food. I love the way it taste, it makes me feel good (spoken like a true fat kid). #2 I'm lazy. Having Asthma doesn't help. I get winded easily so I never feel like doing anything after I eat, or any time really. Walk up the stairs? No thanks, I'll just take a nap in my bed. Go to the gym? No thanks, I'll stay right here and watch tv. Those two combinations are exactly why I weigh as much as I do. Being a "vegetarian" has slowed my eating down. I don't enjoy veggie sandwiches as much as I do chicken so I slow down my eating giving my stomach time to tell my brain "okay, I'm full now." And I'm making Eric make me go to the gym. We go three times a week, soon to be four. 

 I've lost one pound every week this year so far so I'm down four pounds! It doesn't seem like much but adding that with the gym I can also tell I'm stronger. When I first started going to the gym with Eric I was lifting 55 lbs on the machines. Now I'm at 65! That's been encouraging to me even though I haven't seen a difference on my body yet. I'm slowly turning this fat into muscle and I'm excited about it.

I wanted to get this out soon as possible as I know the Holidays are upon us and everyone is looking to save some money this time of year. This post is geared towards parents of multiples but if you have singletons please feel free to reach out to the companies below too for some free samples and offers, but please be aware some offers might not apply to you. If you’re like me then the minute your babies were born you were online looking at deals and ways to save money. I came across a lot of blog posts and articles stating if you contact this company then they will send you this product free. I thought how true is this? So I put them to the test. I took many lists from the internet and combined it into one giant list of baby product companies; I then emailed and mailed each company requesting free samples due to the birth of my twin girls.

My God Wants Me To Trust Him

Lately I've been feeling really worried about a procedure I have coming up. In January it seemed like such a far off thing but now as the days tick by I'm getting so nervous. I have feelings of doubt and fear; what if this doesn't work? How are we going to pay for all this? What if things go wrong? What if I die? All extremely scary stuff. But then I remember that people go through this all the time, every day. I'm going to be ok no matter the outcome because my trust is in God and not the doctors.  Psalm 37:5 Commit everything you do to the Lord; trust Him and He will help you. Psalm 56:3 - 4 Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.  Psalm 56:9 - 13 When I cry out to You, then my enemies will turn back; this I know, because God is for me. In God I will praise His Word, in the Lord I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What...
