Ok, so today I have a new size of jeans on...I've lost 5 sizes! 5!!!!! When you think about it, it's just hard to believe. The other great part is that this morning several people at work noticed and said they could really tell I had lost a bunch of weight. Woo Hoo! Always good news for a Friday! I am feeling great and excited to be in smaller clothes. The last time I wore this size I was a sophmore in College, 11 year ago.
I'm thankful for what this week has taught me, but I am sure glad that today is Friday. Have a great weekend, enjoy your loved ones and be thankful that you have today.

Fish bowl
I feel like a fish in a fish bowl swimming in a circle...ugh, what a boring life! I mean if that's all you had was to swim in circles and go no where...what fun is that? I am feeling like I am walking up the mountain, taking some great steps but ever so often I lose my footing and I go back a few steps. I can't wait to get to the top of the mountain to celebrate.
A year ago I had the chance to go to Colorado to visit my cousin and his now wife. It was such a great trip...one of the stops Justin took me to was a mountain outside of Denver. It was one of the most peaceful, moving experiences I have ever had. To be at the top of this amazing creation and it was so quiet, peaceful and the way that life should be. I remember that experience often...and even more when I feel like I'm losing my footing.
One step at a time...

Get ready to go...
Well officially today I will begin my outside sales career...again. I took about a year and a half to sit behind a desk and now I'll be pounding pavement. Yes I am excited, looking forward to what the future holds, but I am nervous...but it will all work out as it needs to be.
I feel like banging my head though on my desk, the last few weeks I've been focused and consummed by all that's going on here at work that I haven't been focusing on my health. I haven't given up, but I've come to a slow crawling pace and that's frustrating to me. I have to get back in the game, no one ever gives up in the 3rd or 4th quarter and neither will I.
Should be interesting to see what happens over the next few weeks and months regarding this new position. How will I handle being in the car, driving, how will I make healthy choices and continue to stay the course.....stay tuned!

One step
It only takes one step to throw you off balance. Well I took one step and it threw me off balance...2 pounds actually. No excuses, I haven't been focused as much on losing weight for the last 4 weeks and it's starting to show. So I'm back on the right path and will get these 2 pounds that decided to come back off.
I woke up this morning missing my grandparents. Not sure what it was or why, but I just miss them....I'll spend the day remembering the amazing memories that we had together in this life and look forward to see them again in the next. Appreciate and love those who are in your life!

Waiting...
Last night I heard a song about waiting. That while I am waiting on you Lord I will serve you and worship you while I'm waiting. How fitting this song is for my life right now. I am waiting on Him in all I do. Losing weight, taking a new positions, traveling again and figuring out the next step has started to consume my life. Finding the balance has been difficult, sometimes I give more to a certain area and let others "fall off". I want to find the happy medium and know that I have balance.
A lot of things are changing, good, indifferent and bad, but I am staying to the word and moving forward no matter how hard it might be.
This weekend Makayla and I had our pictures taken, I'm excited to see the finished product, I'll post them when we get them back. But it was fun, to share that time with her and make more memories. I am blessed!

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.
