Spring represents new life!
Apr 22, 2011
Well time goes by for sure and wow we are almost through April. I have good news to report, I hit my lose 100lbs by 6 months goal!!!!YAYAYAYAY wow that was a biggy for me and now 85 to go til goal. So the weight does continue to come off. I have to tell you though it sure has slowed down the last month or so. I find if I lose 10lbs a month I am doing really well. Sometimes I have to step up the low carbing to reach that goal. I would love love to be at goal by a year but that maybe a tad unrealistic. So if I could be at say...200 by a year that would be down 155lbs. Hmmm a big goal but once summer and hopefully more activity and exercise kicks in, it is doable. That works out to 10/month. So far I am hitting that goal at the slowed down weight. We will see and I will post every couple of months or so to update about that. So life is better, same stuff, new perspective. It is amazing what you can deal with when you don't have self loathing to contribute. Lets just be clear though, i have God to thank for that, not surgery but the surgery has been an answer to prayer all by itself. My health, sex life and mental health are much improved because of this 100lbs gone. I still have a ways to go but am over halfway now. wonderful wonderful. I am finding I have to go high carb for a week and then back to low carb for 2 or 3. It works well for my body and seems to knock it back into losing mode. For those who struggle with carbs this could be dangerous and I do find the first couple of days on low carb to be difficult but after that I feel wonderful. I have to also say that Spring cleaning this year was a revelation! I could go and go like the energizer bunny and lost over 6lbs in 2 weeks from low carb and cleaning. so that was the extra boost to get me to my 6month goal! On another note, Pastor Bonnie asked me to speak on Wednesday night to the adults and that is new. I was honored but nervous. I felt the word God wanted me to speak was on "our identity in Christ(as Sons and Daughters of the King)" I was snow stormed out this wed night so will speak next wed and maybe elaborate on what I have already. All I can say is God is preparing me for big things, healthwise, spriritually and mentally. I am getting ready so exciting....Til next time my favorite blog...til next time! Trish
