My story. Where do I begin. I've battled weight issues all of my life. In fact the few times that I've been thin stand out more in my mind than the rest, because those were the "special times", the times when I actually felt good about myself. The problem was to get to there I had to starve myself, or use the latest fad diet (which generally included starving myself). So for most of my life I've just been fat, obese even! Gosh I hate the sound of those words, hate to read them, hear them ...

Missing you Dylan!
Tuesday, November 9th 2010
November 9th. For the past 8 years this date has been filled with sadness. Sadness for the loss of a little boy who was only eight years old. Sadness for his mommy, my younger sister and the rest of the family who loved him so very much. I can still remember that day 8 years ago like it was yesterday. Dad calling me at work to tell me that my 8 year old nephew, Dylan, has been killed in a car accident. I remember the sense of unreality...like it was some sick joke...no way could he really...I DID IT!

I am on an exercise high right now!! I got up early this morning and went to kickboxing!! Yep...six in the morning and I was up and out there exercising!! Who'd have ever thought it would be possible. Now you must understand that doing this has been a goal I'd set about three months ago, before I injured myself. So it feels absolutely wonderful to have finally rehabed enough to be able to reach this goal! Granted...I wasn't a "kickboxing star" by any stretch of imagination, and e...Stuck!

I'm stuck!! The scale hasn't moved in almost a month!! I had all of these goals I was trying to reach and suddenly - Screetch - the scales downward movement came to a halt! At first I was really upset and discouraged. But as time has passed I've come to realize a couple of things. 1. My body needed a rest. I've lost 60 pounds since March. The weight has come off pretty steadily until now and while my mind I was ready to keep pushing through my body had other ideas. 2. Even though I'm no...You Deliver Me

The words below are from Selah's latest album/cd! I'm really loving this song right now because so much of what it says I can relate to in my life change journey. Above all though, I'm continually reminding myself that there is No Way I'd ever be able to make these changes and ultimately reach my goals without the love of God!
Through Him alone are all things possible and I know that He will always be there to deliver me when things get tough. I hope that the words to this song will inspi...
Rough Week
Thursday, September 2nd 2010
I've hit a really big bump in the road on my journey!! It's been a bad week for me! Weight loss has been going great, but for some reason I've been feeling really down and discouraged. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I haven't been able to jog for about 3 weeks now. I'm still walking and still losing weight steadily, but I was so into jogging and feeling so good because I was actually "doing" it and never in my life imagined I'd jog or (even more amazingly) that I'd E...« Previous
