So the last week has been an adventure in getting use to working out almost everyday and then also adding in Crunches and Squats. Needless to say I was sore as could be on Monday and I was disappointed because I was up 2 lbs and could not figure out why. However I rebounded and the weight came back off. Today was my official weight loss and I was down 4.4 lbs which brings me 196.2. I have also been tracking my inches on my waist and hips and both those are down!!
Here is a breakdown of how much weight and inches I have loss since August 19th
Weight- 22.3lbs loss
Hips- 9 inches- this is probably more but did not starting tracking until later
Waist-6 inches
Arms-1 inch
Thighs-3 inches
I hope to see more loss in all the above areas as I incorporate more and more workout activities. I am also hoping to do a bootcamp workout in the month of January.

Decemeber Challenge
On Facebook I follow several weight loss pages. These pages are of people who are on the same journey that I am on. This month one of the ladies posted a squat challenge. Each day you do a certain number of squats and the total for the month is 1640. I decided to practice in that challenge but to change it up some and do crunches. Now I don't have a set number per day but mu goal at the end of the month is 2500. Yes you read that right 2500. I will add a tracker on the side of my blog and update it weekly. Also for December I want to burn 2500 calories. I am aiming for more but really want 2500. I also have been doing a walking challenge where i am trying to reach 100 miles walked. I have been working on this one since November. I will trackers to the side for each goal. Can't wait to see if I can do it all!!

Redeemed
A few weeks ago I talked about how angry I was with god (see post here) however the last month or so I have been working out my issues of that I had with god and with my life in general. This song below is the first song that I heard when I was really down!! It speaks to me alot. I have been doing alot of praying, the girls and I are back in church praise god, I am no longer angry at him or even my ex. I have come to relaize that while we have out own plans for our lives there are times they are not our own and that god is always in control
Redeemed by Big Daddy Weave
Seems like all I can see was the struggle
Haunted by ghosts that lived in my past
Bound up in shackles of all my failures
Wondering how long is this gonna last
Then You look at this prisoner and say to me “son
stop fighting a fight that’s already been won”
I am redeemed, You set me free
So I’ll shake off theses heavy chains
Wipe away every stain now I’m not who I used to be
I am redeemed
All my life I have been called unworthy
Named by the voice of my shame and regret
But when I hear You whisper, “Child lift up your head”
I remember oh God, You’re not done with me yet
I don’t have to be the old man inside of me
Cause his day is long dead and gone
I’ve got a new name, a new life I’m not the same
And a hope that will carry me home

Bacon Pie
I found this yummy recipe here however I had to modify for my weight watchers and also for my kids taste as my youngest is not a fan of cheese(wierd I know). However this recipe came out yummy and I only served this tonight as the main dish but think next time I make chili I will serve this as the bread. My chnages will be in bold,.
12 slices bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled(10 slices)
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (4 oz) (1/2 cup fat free cheddar)
1/3 cup chopped onion (you can substitute with green onion too) (did not use)
1/2 cup Bisquick
1 cup milk (1 cup fat free half and half)
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 eggs
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease pie plate, 9x1/1/4 inches.
Sprinkle bacon, cheese, and onion in pie plate.
Stir remaining ingredients until blended. Pour into pie plate.
Bake 35- 40 minutes or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
The origanl recipe was cooked in a pie pan however mine was cooked in a 8x8 pan. I then cut this into 9 squares. I had 3 squares which was plently and yummy!!
Point Value-3
