Your comments thrilled me.
In fact, your ideas are so cool, they make my surprise kind of puny. Designing my own fabric line, starting a scrapbooking company, being featured in a craft magazine--thanks, dear readers. You are a daily encouragement to me!
My "20" is none of those fabulous answers. It is something I was afraid to share until today. More hints . . . some other new favorite numbers of mine:
Since November 1:
650--meters I swim in 30 minutes (when I began, 25 meters was difficult)
93--songs on Frenchy's Workin' Things Out playlist (thanks, Steph)
24--times I have lifted weights
23--laps I can run on a good day at the gym (when I began, I could hardly run one lap)
5 to 6--times per week I hit the gym, no exceptions
2--sizes I've dropped
You guessed it--I've lost 20 pounds since November 1--20.5 to be exact. My hope is to lose about 20 more!! (Amen, sisters?)
And now, the winner of the random drawing for a $10 S'bux card is:
-
I wouldn't be surprised if you lost 20lbs. I see you working hard at the gym! Hmmm, I'd like to be able to say I'd lost 20! (Well this calender year at least.) I'm not watching I'm just there too. Its not 20 weeks preggers so I'm totally out of ideas. You found a $20.00 bill?
Thanks for playing, everyone!
Rebekah, that's awesome!!!!!!!! I'm hoping to lose 20 pounds this year. You're inspiring!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is awesome! You've inspired me, too...I've been going to the gym 3 mornings a week for the last month, but thinking I should bump it up to four, even five. And look at you - five to six!! You are amazing.

ReplyDeleteRebekah! That's so amazing! I stumbled upon your blog a few weeks ago via Sara Ancich's blog, and I have absolutely LOVED reading it! You have such sweet, inspiring thoughts and ideas. I especially love all your parenting ideas (b/c I'm not married, but cannot wait til the day God blesses me with a spouse and then lots of children!)

ReplyDeleteAnd haha, props to CousinKarat for giving me some credit! When I saw the answer I thought "Yes, I won!!" haha. But she did say it was a random drawing, so CousinKarat probably won fair and square.
Way to go, girl! Keep it up!
That's awesome! I've been going to the gym faithfully six days a week now and kicking serious butt - way to go on your accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteWay to go girl! I am so proud of you, I know how hard it is. You inspire me to try again, what a wonderful encouragement you are.
