Last night I attended my first Wednesday evening service at our church. We’ve attended evening church services in the past, but not since we joined our new church last year. With my hubby getting up for work at 3:30am, and our children now in private school, evening things don’t work well for us - we go to bed really early! But, I’m serving as Sunday school teacher at least two Sundays a month, and that may increase to possibly 3 or 4 Sundays, and I need to hear the word as well!
We all need to be ‘fed’, so the only way I can do this, is if I go to church on Wednesday evenings. My hubby stayed home with the children last night, and I went by myself. I enjoyed it because I got some time out of the house and last night we started a new lesson on prayer. 
I chuckled because of the look I got from a couple folks when they saw me walk in last night. They were happyI was there, just a little shocked. Maybe they were expecting me to turn into a pumpkin. :D When I arrived home, my 5 year old daughter (Emily) was still awake, so I go in to give her a kiss and she said: “Mom, you went to church at NIGHT?!” Yes dear, one can go to church any time of day or NIGHT! She just smiled and went to sleep.

Dear Traci,
Good afternoon! I just read over your last several entries to become familiar with your blog. I’m excited you are recording how you are doing with healthy living. It’s encouraging to read how you are doing and have done so well for nearly two years now!
I have gone through a lot of ups and downs since about January 1999 in regards to weight loss. You know this already because of my posting about it before. I knew how to lose it but being consistant enough to lose it all was where I was having the problems. I’d lose 10, 20, 30 and then gain it all back. My official all-time high weight was 241 pounds. *sigh* Frustrating when the highest I ever went even with all five pregnancies was 199! I never saw 200 on the scale before after all of my babies were born. That crazy prescription med… But, I have finally come to the point I needed to be at. I am set to do this - eat and live healthy - and do it for a lifetime. Not obsess over it, just do it. It took several years of learning about so many things. How drinking a good amount of water makes me feel so much better, how I can cook a variety of really good tasting foods and be satisfied, and how I can enjoy exercising without pushing myself too far and burning out. And, keep God central of it all. Praying for strength anytime I feel weak in a particular area. All of these things combined work in harmony to make a healthier me. I am thankful for this, very much so. I began on February 6th and already feel so much better. I don’t feel so daunted by the road ahead, only encouraged as I am healthier each day.
May God bless you today, dear Traci. I have enjoyed coming here today and ‘catching up’. Huggs! ~Robin
Hi Robin
Thanks for stopping by my blog and catching up.
I am doing well. Got a little worried, but it was all for nothing. I actually weighed in at 143 this morning. 
So I’m doing extremely well. Exercising three mornings a week with the ladies at church. So I’m doing good.
I know you’ll get your weight where you want it. It really is a struggle isn’t it? I too got higher AFTER my babies were born than during pregnancy. It is discouraging, I know it is! But, with God, all things are possible. So I know you can do it!! I’ll trot on over to your blog and subscribe to it so I can keep track on how you’re doing.
Have a blessed day,
Traci
