I am in a total state of gratitude today. This is the begininng of my seventh week in first place for health, and I was honestly pretty nervous. This was the first week that I did not keep track of my food on my live it tracker and I was pretty sure I had either gained weight or just maintained, but like I said praise the Lord...I lost 3 more pounds! I guess all my hard work packing and the fact that I did still watch what I was eatting was ok. But just for one week. today is a new day and it is a new week. I am going to do much better and make sure I write down all of my food. Anyway, so far so good that brings my total weight loss up to 20lbs!!! Thank you Jesus I know this is all you. Heaven knows my will power is not so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Current weight 220!!! Only 21lbs to go before I am back under 200. I can't wait for that!!!

Okay, I love First Place 4 Health, and not just because I am making real food changes, that I can stick to and lose weight with, but the Bible study is amazing. And it is a small enough group of ladies, all of whom I respect, so I really get involved in it. I am memorizing verses, I am praying like I haven't prayed in a long time, I am actually studying the Bible and I just really love it. Plus, I have been blessed with more lbs GONE. This last week I lost 4 pounds which puts me at 227. A weight I haven't seen in about 2 year. Yeah, actually the last time I was this size I was just starting my third trimester with Tia. Wow, that is kind of sad, but definitely encouraging. I never, ever want 227 to be an exciting accomplishment again.
Anyway, things are going really good and I am excited about all of the changes that God is making in me. I know that eventually the weight loss will shrink. It is recommended that you only lose 2, maybe 3 pounds a week, which is fine by me. I still have 33 weeks until my 25Th birthday. And if I do lose the minimum of 2 pounds a week I will have lost 66lbs which is just 5 pounds over my goal weight. Wow, to weight 155 that would be so cool. I'm not even sure when I was that small.
Father God, I know you have started a good work in me and that I am slowly becoming the woman you want me to be. I just pray that I will give everyday completely to you and that every choice I make whether its food or where to move I pray that you will guide the decision I make and that I will live my life completely to please you and follow your will. I am your Lord and I love you! Thank you for helping me find a way to be successful and healthy in all aspects of this life you have given me!
Amen!

I'm back....
Okay, so it has been a while. And I could gladly give you all my good and legit excuses, but bottom line is I have seriously let other things distract and tempt me and the last almost 2 months have been another waist line roller coaster. Needless to say my biggest hurdle came on Sept. 4th when Matt Johnson passed away. His story is far too close to David's and It brought all of the hurt, and fear, and sadness rushing back. Not to mention one emotion I hadn't really faced yet...Anger. I have been really struggling with that since Matt's death. I had so justified that David died and so Matt wouldn't. Look at me trying to figure God out and put Him into my little box. I am glad to say though I am finally working through my emotions and crying, and crying, and then crying a little more over David. My heart is still breaking and honestly it breaks a little more everytime Tia or Laina give me what I lovingly refer to as a Daddy look.
But now for the truth about that roller coaster I mentioned earlier. I tried to stay off and to keep working toward my September 15Th goal of 15lbs gone, but I didn't make it and I am not even sure how far I was off. In fact I hadn't weighted myself since my last blog. I did get weighted however last Thursday at my very first First place For Health Bible Study meeting. I was disgusted and pretty shocked to be back at 241. I could hardly belief it, but it confirmed to me something I have always felt. I need accountability. I am so thrilled to say that I have that now. I am in a class of about 8 ladies and I am sadly the youngest and one of the ones most in need of this program. The bottom line for this whole system is putting God first in every aspect of life. It is all about nurturing the four sided person. And in the last week I have already found that it is much more then about losing weight. I am getting much closer to God and I am excited to do the study and to meet Him on a whole new level. I am quickly getting to the point where the weight loss is just gravy. I am so excited for what God is changing me for. He is going to totally make me over from head to toe from the INSIDE out. God truly is good and it is because of his grace and nothing more that I can say that yesterday I stepped on the scale and by just changing some eating habits 10lbs have once again left the building, and this time it is for good. This week I am trying to add back in some exercise. I will keep this blog updated because I am still holding onto my goal which is to weigh 150lbs or less by my 25Th birthday and heck yes I still plan on having a little shopping spree when God allows me to succeed in this goal!
Current weight 231!!!
