2013

Zumba last night and gym time today with my bubby. This year is the year of change and health and moving forward and not staying where I have always been. 2012 was all the preparation for the battle and victory this year!


This was my facebook status for January 9. Zumba and gym time things some might consider mundane however its the last part that I want to focus on today. I believe that 2012 was a year of preparation and battle. For me personally it was preparing and starting the battle of overcoming being unhealthy and overweight. I thought I had started it in 2011 but that was all on my own strength. I know it was in my own strength because I gave up. In the beginning of 2012 God moved my husband and I to a new church. Almost a year now has passed since then and everyday we sit amazed at how God placed us in a church that has provided healing for hurt and hope for dreams. We have both grown so much in the past few months. One thing I really wanted was someone who would lovingly hold me accountable to losing weight and someone who knew how to make "regular" food just healthy and not having to buy "diet" food. I also needed but didn't know it was someone who could bring the spiritual to table. I had to learn that in my own strength I would fail and fail, again and again. I found that someone in our pastor's wife who has lost over 100 lbs and kept it off for over 3 years off. 

I never thought that the day would come that I would look forward to going to the gym or zumba or working out in general. I look forward to it now and miss the days I don't get to do it. Its been a slow and uphill battle yet I am not stopping no matter what. My goal for this year would be to lose at least 50lbs. I am learning everyday to relay on God for the strength to continue this journey and to finally know that I will obtain victory in weight loss and health.  I am going to start keeping up my other blog www.findingmylifewhilelosingmyself.blogspot.com

30 by 30

So next month I turn 27. I can't believe it 27. It is way closer to 30 than I would like it to be. I mean it's scary how fast my life has flown by; it seems like just last week my parents dropped me off for my first day of kindergarten and yesterday I graduated high school. Reality is its been 9 years since I finished high school and 22 years since I was dropped off for my first day of kindergarten. Its been 3 years since my love and I went on our first date and tomorrow will be 3 years since we became each others boyfriend/girlfriend. In the past 3 years I have grown and changed and matured and learned so much. I am hoping though that the next 3 years and my 30's are much more relaxed than my early 20's have been. I ready for things to settle down a little. Well as I creep ever so much more closer to 30 way faster than I would like. I decided to make a list of resolutions, I guess for lack of a better word, that I would like to accomplish before I am 30. Some of them are easy and can be accomplished quite quickly and easily some might take the next 3 years to accomplish and some are completely in the control of God. But here are my 30 goals for the next 3 years (I might add some more as I check them off.)
