Sunday

So was there another reason for this blog?? Yes, there is. If I can keep updating this blog, I can keep track for myself how I'm doing. I know that there will be times that I don't eat or exercise like I should, but hopefully the blog will help me along this journey. Another very real reason was to let people know that about the support that I get. There two sources of great support I have, one is J. He doesn't know how big a part he's played in all of this, but everyday he does something or says something that makes me feel special and gives me strength and encouragement. What a huge blessing and wonderful partner in this adventure. Another HUGE source is the Lord. I have tried to loose weight in the past, but never gotten very far. When I made these decisions about my life and body, I prayed and I mean I prayed hard (and continue to do so) that the Lord would help me. All kinds of help, everything from changing my mind, my heart and giving me the determination that I needed to head down this path. And believe me when I say that he has answered my prayers in abundance. None of this would have been remotely possible without those answered prayers. So my thoughts for today are these, a support system, regardless of how large or small is extremely important. I can't imagine trying to do all of this on my own.

PS. The Ben & Jerry's Yogurt (Half Baked) was delicious. Just remember that you can't eat the whole carton.
