Let's give it up for Disney in 23 days!! Woohoo! And to add to the excitement, I just finished my 3rd day this week at boot camp! I've met a few more people who have been so encouraging. This morning my new partner is the Director for an adoption agency here in town...so it was fun chatting with her. She told me to come back in the morning...which would make 4 times this week and my 3rd day in a row. I will say it HELPS to have people rooting for you and holding you accountable.
I'm on day 4 of the gallon challenge and haven't had any trouble getting my gallon in every day. I just feel like I'm floating all the time (or in the bathroom!). And today marks 1 week since I cut out sugary foods and white flour. I feel GREAT! My skin feels better, no migraines and I have more energy. I weighed myself last weekend and had dropped 2 lbs and have decided not to weigh myself again until Saturday. I don't want to get obsessed about the number on the scale. The most important thing is that I'm eating healthier (I'm CRAVING fruit for my sweets) and taking better care of my body. I even sat down with a small bowl of grapes while we watched American Idol last night. I've NEVER done that in my life! :)
Feeling strong...Lord, help me stay the course.

"I've found that when life's brush obscures my view with gloomy strokes that seem to mar the scene, God's hand appears and gives to sunless hue and dreary skies a more majestic sheen." Gustafson
About Me
- Brooke
- Hi there, Let me tell you a little bit about this FRUGALadee. My sweet husband and I have been married for 9 years and have two amazing little ones - ages 4 and 2. We are fostering our 2 year old little boy in hopes of adopting. It's a long process but I'm trusting God as we wait. By day, I work as an Office Manager at a counseling organization and the rest of the time I manage our home. In my spare time (ha!), I'm a professional organizer. I am learning to live in the moments (instead of the past or worrying about the future) and revel in God's unexpected blessings TODAY! While I don't reuse paper plates or line dry our clothes, we're doing what's needed and best in this season of our lives. I'm always looking for new creative ways to save...time & money.

You are amazing...and you inspire me! I need to get back into the swing of things, but I have not felt well enough to stand up most days let alone exercise! Hoping that in a few weeks that will change...
I am so proud of you for your gallon a day and for trading in the sugary foods. I think I'm gonna go have a bowl of grapes while I watch the Idol results now :) Just bought some today!
One day at a time...one foot in front of the other. xo
