Thank goodness for rest

Finally! I slept till 6am this morning. I don't know if it was the fact I had made my decision and I feel pretty good about it or my body was just so tired and worn out that I just slept out of pure exchaustion. But it doesn't matter, I'm thankful for the sleep!

Well my friends, here's the news. I have taken a new position with in the company that I am working for. I am going to be moving into outside sales and I'll start with a 100 mile radius for now, but eventually will move into selling in other states. I'm excited about the possiblities that this brings into my life and who I'll get the chance to meet. The open doors are endless. I begin this new journey on Monday, I am praying for guidance and the opportunity to hit the ground running.

This will be a challenge as well because I saw the biggest weight gain in my life when I was in outside sales. Unfortunatley you live in your car mostly, but I am up for this challenge to continue to keep the weight off! It's a must. It will be another step in the right direction for me.

Thank you for all the prayers, support and encouragement this week. The journey might be long, but the outcome is great and I'm thankful for this new experience and opporunity.

Pressing on.

No complaining...

So the last thing I ever wanted this to be was a complaint blog....so it's not, but I just have to say that getting up at 5:30 for the last 3 mornings is really starting to take a toll on my mind, body and energy! I seem to fall asleep fine but then I can't stay asleep...I think it has to do with the fact my mind won't shut off and I can't begin to get it all cleared out.

SO, today I begin some pre training for this new journey. I am hoping that I am wake enough to stay focused (those who know me, know that's going to be a challenge) and that I can walk away with better insite as to what this new path will be like. Because I haven't slept well, I don't eat...at all. So something has to change fast because my body can't handle this. Crazy enough the not eating hasn't allowed me to lose any weight...amazing....not shocked, it's my body's way of telling me to get things in order.

OK, have a fantastic day and I look forward to sharing my news tomorrow.

The fork in the road.

Well I met the fork in the road yesterday. (HAHA that sounds so funny, sorry) But anyways I met it. There is probably a handful of times in my life that I've been at the fork and really uncertain as to what direction I should head. Sometimes it seemed so easy and other times I would stress over it for weeks. I remember the day that I decided to take my own life by the collar and do something about my weight. Months and even years before that point I had been at a crossroads and I would chose the road that was easy...not to change. That's how I got through things, I wouldn't change anything because I was afraid of what I might have to do. Well let me tell you something, I think it was harder to not do something then it has been to do something. So my advice, break out of the comfort zone and step up, take things by the handle and go with it. You'll be surprised at how things (for the better) will turn out.

So..this decision I have to make, well I've made it. I believe that I will head down the unknown path, take myself out of the box and go with it. I can't share right now what it is, but I will Friday. Thank you to all of you for your support, encouragement and most importantly prayers! Get ready..the new journey will begin shortly :)

Every so many....

Ever so often we find ourselves at a cross roads. Wondering which path looks better to take. One might be full of flowers, green grass and the sun is shinning. The other might be dark, un managed and scary. Ironically though I have realized that the path that looks great, beautiful and well put together isn't always the right one. It's sometimes the one that leads to more problems, hurt, emptiness and wishing that you would of re thought your decision. Well today I stand at those cross roads. One looks great, green and amazing. Seems like a lot of hope and good things to come...the other is dark, unknown and down right scary....BUT I will make a decision....it won't be easy and that's ok because we where never promised life would be easy. I do wish for a neon flashing light that would point to which one I should take. But I am confident that whatever I chose will in some way be the right thing...

Changes are happening in my life faster then I could even imagine, but I'm ok with it, I've come this far...I'm ready to move forward. I haven't slept well in the last few days, but I know it's because of this day...I've given it to GOD, prayed about it and knowing that at the end of today I'll have an answer. So here we go.....

A new chapter

110 pounds...I have to say it has a nice ring to it. I really like the way I am starting to look and feel. I also am starting to realize that my body doesn't like the things I once did. I have noticed over the last few weeks if I have something that's got sugar or fat in it, my stomach goes on a revolt. So I am starting to understand what I can't have anymore, it might taste good for a moment but feeling or getting sick afterwards isn't fun at all. But it's the sacrifice we make to make ourselves better. I mean I'd chose this life and how I feel now over any sugar foods or fried stuff. Not for me anymore. I'm shooting for another 50 pounds to put me at my goal weight, that will put me right there, that's not to say I won't go for another 10 or so. But I'm ready to see what I look like again...though that's an empty statement because I don't remember what I use to look like at the weight I'll be. So..this will be new again and I guess I'll just have to re introduce myself to myself again. HA!

Make it an unbelievable day!
