It has been almost 4 1/2 months since my first blog. I have lost 40 pounds and completed my 1st 5k. I have also written 72 blogs between then and now about the journey. Along the way there has been many people who have helped and encouraged me to keep pushing, and even a few boneheads who have been discouraging. The joke is on them because I am an over-comer. I have had a tremendous opportunity to get to know some other biggest loser 13 hopefuls, who remind me daily that I am not alone in this struggle. That being said some days I think I should attend Over-eaters Anonymous because I get cravings that make me want to stick my hand in hot fudge and eat until my mouth was tired. Thankfully I know that is not the best option for me today. My family has also found a church that feels like home with people who love Jesus and are working towards a better future. Now that everyone is caught up to speed with my journey we can move forward to destination skinny (borrowed from a friend but love it).
WARNING......if my blogs sound preachy or mention the name of Jesus to much for you I am sorry you feel that way but the journey has became more than just my weight loss. I have stirred the fire that is in my heart for Jesus and I will pursue His will with the same drive I use for my weight loss...........Live free and be strong.......
