New Yates' Family Website

I really hope to create a website for our family over the coming weeks. I'm a rabid Mac user now, so I'm going to be using iWeb. :) First time doing that, but it should be an experience. I'll be posting pictures to our Flickr page in the near future, but you can keep up with a lot of what we're doing at www.412youth.com. Since youth ministry is my life...that will fill you in. Pictures available as well!!!

Weight Loss Update

I just HAD to post this!!!

I’ve been using the Bodybugg system (the armbands that you see on The Biggest Loser). This is a system that monitors your actual calorie burn each day. My goal is to eat 1000 calories less than I consume each day which will equal a minimum of a two pound weight loss for that week.

I began this process the second week of January and I weighed 348 lbs after Christmas. At my heaviest, I weighed 356 during the summer of 2008.

I weighed this morning and I am at....326.0 lbs! That’s a loss of 22 lbs since I began this program and 30 lbs from my heaviest! Needless to say, I’m very excited.

My next goal is to get under 300 lbs to 299. I’m running six days a week and weight lifting three days a week. I also officiate basketball, so that gets me even more active!

My first goal was to be able to play Wii Fit with my girls, but I had to be under 330...first goal met!

I would just like to ask that you continue to pray for my weight loss. I’m on a roll, but life can throw curve balls at us and I’m an emotional eater. I just want to keep this life change. :)

Thanks so much and THANK GOD for HIS strength as I continue this journey in my life!!!!
