Weight Watchers...

Well, I can't believe I am about to post my actual weight. But, here goes....

Last week, I took the plunge and decided to do something about my weight. So, on Tuesday, June 21, 2011, I attended my first WW meeting.

Drumroll, please: 313
Actually, my weight was 315 but they subtract 2 pounds for my shoes. Thank GOD for small favors!

Fast forward to today for my 1st weekly weigh-in.
Drumroll, please: 308!

Yup, you read that right. 8lbs in one week! I am so excited.

Stay tuned for next week's weigh-in!!!

One of THOSE kind os days...

Have you ever just had one of those kind of days? The kind where crying seems to be the only thing you can do well today???
I am having one of those kind of days. I am not sad. That sounded kind of Sam I am, did it not??
What I mean is there is nothing going on that would make me cry. I just have this craving to cry and emotionally free myself from something so deep within that I can not place it...yet.
But, I do not have time to cry right now. There is work to be done.
I guess I'll watch a love story tonight and cry my eyes out go home and take a nap.

Pay it Forward 2011

The picture says it all! Maybe I will get some followers to read my blog and get at least 5 e-mails by the end of the year!

He knows...

It still amazes me that I am still surprised at GOD’s omniscience!  He knows all about me and what I need. He is always on time! I received a word from a friend’s website that has truly been uplifting to my spirit.

GOD is not surprised about where I am in my life. There are seasons in life that we must all go through. Knowing that he saw this point in my life before I was created is enough hope that allows me to see the silver lining in my cloud.  All I need to do is hold on because GOD’s timing is perfect.

Naked

Well, I have been contemplating on starting my own blog for a couple of months now because I love to read about what is happening in the lives of complete strangers! I am a blog stalker.

Why now?

I finally discovered something today. Actually, admitting this is probably more of an appropriate statement.

I am emotionally broken. To utter those words make me feel naked in a room filled with strangers. It makes me feel vulnerable and scared. But, I have to do whatever it takes to get out of this funk that I am in.

I have been through some things recently that have left me feeling emotionally detached from some people and situations. Well, I am tired of it…sick and tired of it. When exactly did I become this person that I do not know?  I understand that people change and grow and go through some sharpening processes, but I have developed into someone that I almost do not recognize.

I have wanted to lose weight but first I needed to get to the root of this desire. I hope that with shedding some pounds, literally and figuratively, that I can uncover the true me!  Verbalizing my brokenness only strengthened this desire within me.

I plan on uncovering the smart, funny, flirtatious, sexy girl that I once was in high school. Pair that with the wisdom of age (approaching the big 3-0) and motherhood and the world just might have a DIVA on its hands! Seriously, I am embarking on period in my life where I am looking to transition into a woman that my daughters look up to and aspire to be like, a woman I would love to be friends with, and a woman that a man is proud to love and be his wife. Most importantly, however, I want to completely fall into the plans that God has for me and my life and be a witness to those around me about what happens when you allow the love of GOD to control your life and completely surrender to HIS will.

Jeremiah 29:11 (New Living Translation)

¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

I have chosen to keep my blog fairly anonymous right now because I want everyone to be able to relate to the emotions that I have rather than what I might look like. Maybe my blog will be someone else’s reflection as I go through this process.  

Enjoy!
