A crazy Keller confession

     There are many reasons why I like the idea of starting a blog. Most of the reasons are because I feel like this blog will help me with my goals and stop my bad habits!!
Bad habit #1: I am trying to lose my baby weight still. I gained a whopping 80 pounds!!! I liked having the excuse "I'm pregnant" and I used it to its fullest! It took me three months to get motivated to lose the weight. I almost decided to be fat for the rest of my life. It is different when you only have 5, 10, or even 30 pounds to lose. Eighty is daunting and almost doesn't seem worth it! I did really good for about two months with dieting and exercising. Then I plateaued. For three weeks I continued to work hard and didn't lose any weight. I started getting stressed with not losing weight and with work, so I gave up! I have gained back five pounds of pure fat and people are starting to give me the "are you pregnant" look again. I'm hoping to do a "fitness Friday" post almost every week to talk about what workouts I tried for the week, how they went, and how my weight loss journey is going.
Bad habit #2 (I promise the rest of my bad habits won't be as long so I don't bore you, who ever you are): I've never been into journaling. I think I started a journal in junior high for  about a week and haven't touched it since. I'm hoping that this will count as a journal and that I can post almost every Sunday on how things are going with the crazy Keller family.
Bad habit #3 (no worries, this is the last one that I am going to admit to): I sometimes struggle with the "Sunday School answers": reading scriptures, praying, etc. I know that doing those things really make a difference in how I act and in how I feel. I want Kate to grow up in a home where doing those things are important and are done as a family. I plan to include how God's hands have been in our life for that week. For me to accomplish this, I will have to be doing those Sunday School answers and I will have to ponder every day so I can notice those tender mercies! I feel this will help my family grow and gain a stronger testimony.
     Well that is it for my confessions. Hopefully this blog will help me overcome my bad habits and start good ones instead! Thanks Lauren for suggesting this!
