The Bartlett Family Adventure

The Bartlett Family Adventure is all about the moments that take my breath away as I grow in the glory of God, and live my life to the best of my ability while raising two rowdy boys. This blog is not just about me, it also includes stories of my family's daily adventures. We home school our boys, are trying to grow our fruits and vegetables, we are all on a journey to God, we are trying to live sustainably, and most importantly love the life we lead. Sometimes we stumble, but mostly I like to think we prevail. I am blogging to keep a sort of shared journal. Our life may be messy but it is perfect.

A day late and bad news on the rise

Last week was rough on me. Our animals we have a cat and a dog came in with fleas which caused me to have bath them every other day, plus laundry which is still not even close to being caught up from washing everything the cat can get into, cleaning, and to top it off my aunt flow came for her monthly visit. I ran a mile straight on Monday and did not get back on the treadmill until yesterday. I gained back the two pounds I took off. It is incredibly disheartening but today is a new day. I can make better choices and try again. I feel like I have been on this up and down ride for so long. I think I can lose this weight, I know I can lose this weight, I think I can, I think I can, I know I will. I just wanted to share my weight gain so that I would not lose focus and in some little way remain accountable.

I hope you are having a wonderful day filled with love and laughter. Be well my friends.

Monday, Monday

I made it to another weigh in Monday. I have to be honest my husband was gone this week so I only got on the treadmill twice but we went swimming once. I also did not do a great job at counting calories because I didn't do it at all. This is a new week and I can and will do better. This week I am going to focus on counting calories and drinking more water throughout the day. I am also going to be on the treadmill three days this week. 

Last week I weighed in at 166.6.
Today I am 164.4!

A two pound weight loss!

I decided to write my starting weight on my lose it jar to remind me of where I begin. So when the going gets tough I can look at it and know I am getting better.

I would love to know how you did last week if you are coming along on the journey with me. I hope you are even in a small way. You know a random tip I heard on Extreme Makeover Weight Loss addition is if you are craving sugar a lot give it up for a week. Because eating sugar causes you to crave it more and more. So the less you eat the better it is. I love that show. If you haven't seen it yet you should check it out on abc.com. It is truly inspiring.

I hope you week is full of satisfaction, love, and laughter. Be well my friends.
