Changes

It's tough to make changes. Even when they are extremely beneficial for you. But I'm ready to start making changes...they may be baby steps but changes none the less. One thing is realizing my portions are out of control. Last night we had spaghetti - I could have been content with 1/2 of what I ate and of course I thought of that after. Food is by far the hardest part of this. Working out can be difficult but after the endorphins give you fuel to remember why you want to keep working out.

When I had lost weight before my little self motto was "This is a journey not a race" still a good motto for weight loss but I have a new one. It's nothing new. It's nothing eye opening. Nothing that will change how anyone thought before, but for me it's working. "KEEP MOVING" This had popped into my head a few days and I'm starting to put it into practice. How? Music. I have two stations I'm using right now on Pandora - Group 1 Crew and Toby Mac - And when I hear a song we do at Zumba I do the routine or if I hear an upbeat song I just start doing squats or dancing to it. I'm loving it. It's funny how much more energy you have just by simply moving more often throughout the day. Just starting this so maybe it will change but for now it's working!

Goals are important and I understand many don't want to put numbers on those goals but I am, until I get to a healthy weight and then I can focus on how I feel. So from now until next August my {eeekkkk!} 28th birthday I'd like to be to my goal weight. For me to reach that it would mean I need to lose 5 pounds a month. I find this very reasonable. I may second guess this "reasonable" thought at Christmas time ;)

Hello if you don't know me I'm Katie I {obviously} blog here and you can find my instagram & twitter ---> Two things in my bag: 1. My cute little notebooks I found at Target and a variety of pens. I love pens. No seriously, you should see my pen + sharpie box.  2. My phone. I am a HUGE picture taker. I love taking pictures and using all the fun picture apps and posting pictures. If you love taking pictures come find me, we can have some instagram fun!!!  Two things I'm looking forward to: 1. Hugs & coffee with friends. Friends I've never technically met. Friends that I will never forget, that will be hard to leave, that just get me. 2. Learning. Learning more about who I am. About the amazing way God created me as a woman. Learning from all these wise women that live with realness and grace. Being filled with His word. See you in 2-ish weeks!!!

We are not part of his story and he is not part of ours

"Write drunk; edit sober" -Ernest Hemingway I've never actually attempted this, but tonight I am. I've had my wine and if you know me at all it doesn't take much to get my lightheaded & giggly. I'm truly not a Windau (my maiden name) when it comes to my alcohol consumption. I put my catholic roots to shame. I'm ok with that. I'm not a mean drunk, but a purely giggly & say inappropriate thing drunk. Today stung. It stung hard. Last Tuesday we got a call for a little 5 month old baby. Technically we got a call for 4 boys but for reasons that I will not share, we could only say yes to little guy. And then there was waiting. And more waiting because our agency couldn't find a home for 4 of the little guys, they came from a sibling group of 6. All 6. Boys. That would be headed for permanent custody. In my mind all the things lined up. I had prayed for an orphan. I had been learning about how to bond with a baby in the adoption sens...
