Well, it's been quite a while since I've written so in my attempt to brush up my rusty writing skills please be patient. Lot's has gone on in nearly 2 yrs. yes! it's been that long since I've written!!! I can't believe how fast time fly's some of which I'm grateful for but often moments gone to fast.
Nearly a year ago I met the love of my life...Literally! I realize that almost everyone says that when they meet someone they are in love with but I really feel as though God has blessed me with a wonderful partner...everything my heart has desired in a partner and more. David and I met last year unexpectedly. I had just come out of another disappointing relationship where expectations were high and what really transpired was less than enough to send anyone into insanity. When presented with the idea of meeting David, as you can imagine I was less than thrilled. Somehow God knew, right when I was ready to throw in the towel to dating and possibly one day marriage...along came David. With everything against him, slowly but surly he began to gently draw me in. His love and his kind of love was like none before him. He was gentle and kind. Funny and very able to laugh at himself, A person of his word and most of all who he claimed to be he was. Naturally I fell in love. He genuinely loved God in a real non weird way! He showed me his love daily and did not let a moment go by without letting me know how incredibly special i was to him. It worked! After dating over the phone for 5 months David came here to live last January and proposed in May! We are getting Married September 4,2010.
All that said...
I have embarked on a 16 week transformation program. My first objective is to be healthy. I would like to loose 35 pounds by the end of this journey. I have met a wonderful inspiring woman who has already been on this journey and has inspired me to want better for my health. I would like to look fabulous on my wedding day. This is week one and I am feeling challenged by the meals. I have to make sure i wake up early and give myself enough time in advance to eat a proper breakfast and prepare decent snacks and a healthy lunch to get me going through the day. My exercise routine I hope to train at least 3 times a week. If I can manage 2 pounds a week I will keep on track. I often get overwhelmed with doing this at this time. I'm planning a wedding an engagement and trying to balance work, health, church and commitments can be overwhelming. I want so much to do this so I figured this is a great way to keep accountable. I will write throughout my following weeks from week to week. I try not to get upset or discouraged in the fact that I've gained 15 pounds in the last year. As David often encourages me to keep trying even when I fail. This is what counts...I want to be Healthy, for me, for David....for my Family. I know I have always struggled with food and exercise and my bet is I will most likely always struggle but I will persevere to know that this will not Master me. God is with me...Even in this.
Challenge on!!!
