I THINK I'M FINALLY READY...

Options
Well, those of you who know me know that I have not been here for quite a while. I've had a LOT going on. I'm proud and sorry to say that I only gained 8 pounds during the past two months or so. I know it could have been a whole lot more! Anyway, I've finally gotten to a place again in my life where I can put myself back on my "TO DO" list. My son's recovery has been going extremely well, except for his hand, and he is finally off to college and it is just my hubby and me. My son't recovery won't be complete for at least another year and a half but at least he isn't having a pity party and is learning to move on with his life. He really is an inspiration to me. I finally realize that I have to let go and let God...not just say it but DO IT! He is in God's hands.

I have a couple of workout buddies again. We start the gym tomorrow. I also have a running buddy. I've never had that and I am SO stoked about it!!!! She has lost, like, 60 pounds! I really am excited. She is going to be the one to keep me on track and pray with me when things get rough again. We start running Tuesday.

So, I'm back. I really missed you all. I hope you all have been well. Thank all of you for your support when I was here and I humbly ask for your support again.

    Having people to be accountable to is a great way to make sure you exercise. I workout with my husband at the gym and have a women's walking group I walk with.

    Congrats for climbing back on the wagon

Yes, you are absolutely right; we must all must learn to let go and let God not only with words but with total faith.
