This is the 2nd to last day of 2007, I have experienced great changes in my life within the past 18 months. I left my husband, whom I thought was the love of my life but he became abusive after he was arrested for and confessed to being a peeping tom ( he was arrested for it AGAIN AFTER I left him!!!), I moved to a new state to be with family- who then turned their back on me for "one-night stands with new friends", I moved into my first apartment on my own with my child, I made the Deans list (three times), I'm graduating from college after 20 years of "distractions", I'm 140+ lbs overweight ( and counting, because I don't LOOK like I'm that big because I have always been muscular with an athletic build)...I'm cute but spreading :)
I have not been on a date since I met my husband (our seven year anniversary is Jan.1, 2008***more stress!) In the upcoming year, I plan to lose at least 60 lbs, get divorced and begin saving to buy my first home. At the moment I am 300 lbs ( but look like I'm 220) I'm bust and thigh "heavy" with a "belly". My real "enemy" is the belly!! Gotta pound out the sit-ups. I used to be in the Army so, it SHOULDN'T be hard to get into a workout routine (right!)
I'm tired of hearing my doctors tell me I need to stop stressing out and lose the weight- but... I KNOW they are right. I want to be as active as I once was and this is my chance. I don't really consider this a "New Year's Resolution" is just HAPPENS to begin near January 1. This is more of a life changing goal I have set for myself, not for "love" but for "life". Thinking I was in "love" is what partially got me to this weight.
I welcome anyone who cares to join me for this ride as we embrace Gods' love for us and express it through a healthy body and a renewed spirit.
Tomorrow (Dec. 31, 2007) I will begin my day with Donna Joyner's "Sweatin' in the Spirit" it is fantastic, uplifting and really takes the weight off if you're committed. I promise to admit when I fall off the plan and temporarily lose sight of my goal because we all have bad days... but I also promise to recommit and not make myself feel guilty for having a bad day.
Please join me on my journey
