God is Near....Part 2
I know this blog was made for weight loss support group but tonight I have a share a different but very positive life experience.
My Scotty and I have been together and married for over 18 wonderful years. We have had like many other couples, lots of ups and downs. Honestly, it has been the best 18+ yrs of my life. We have four beautiful children and I have no regrets. For the past few months, I have felt there was just something else missing from my life and our marriage. I kept trying harder every day to make my wonderful family happy but I felt the more I tried, the harder it became. Then four weeks ago I noticed around Wabash were tent signs on street corners and other signs along the highway that said "Starting Feb. 7th New Journey Community Church at Honeywell Center etc."
I then starting thinking, wow that would be nice to go to church every Sunday. Then that Sunday came and I was on Facebook and noticed John Babb was talking about it and such. I thought to myself and shared with Scott that John and Rhonda go there. That is cool! As soon as Scotty got out of work that day at 10:15am we rushed home and then down to Honeywell Center. Scotty and I went alone, no kids this time, so we could see what it was all about. Honestly, for me, when I read about it on Facebook and it said "no dress code and come as you are" I was like" that is the way it should be everywhere. It was Superbowl Sunday so Scotty and I were dressed in Our Colts attire. We were comfortable and were excited to attend! As soon as we walked in the doors, I felt at "home."
We have attended the past three weeks faithfully (the kids have went the past two weeks now with us) and today my life was changed forever. Today as we were singing with the worship team, I for the first time felt God's presence over me. Oh my gosh, as soon as this happened I had tears running down my face. I couldn't control them. I thought to myself, wow this is real and for me very life changing! I at that moment realized what our marriage and family had been "missing." It was the Lord our Savior.
I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. That I no longer have to deal with all my "worries" alone anymore. I am a worrier, and I have tried so hard not to be. Scotty is very calm and collective and never worries about anything....so in that aspect we are opposites!
Tonight we went to a Life Meeting at Tom and Sarah Cochran's home. It was so nice to talk about God and learn about him in small groups. It was a great experience and we hope to attend many more.
Thank you God, for coming into my life and fulfilling my need. I love you, Amen.

God is Near!
Today has been a great day so far. Went with my best friend to Starbucks for my weekly coffee. Let's just say "it wasn't as good as it used to be." But it was a nice quiet time with my Scotty. Gotta love that!
Then came back and went to New Journey Church. It was a very moving service! Honestly, it was the first time (our 3rd service) that I actually felt God's presence! It made me cry. I had tears following down my face. I love God and so thankful I have accepted him back into my life and our families lives!
We came and I fixed the kids lunch. Scotty juiced our lunch. We used leeks and that was a mistake! LOL YUCKY!! Overpowerful, won't do that again. So then he went to plan B and fixed us a Green Smoothie with Spinach and Fruit!! Now that's yummy!!!! Loved it!

Tired!
This morning we got up at went to the Y at 5am. I was so tired most of the day. After our workout Scotty fixed us a Raw Smoothie! It was yummy!! Then I had a banana and mandrane. So far it was all raw............then came a bad headache. Not sure if it was from lack of caffeine or what?? So I ate a yougurt and took 2 excedrine. That helped. I want to do a little raw diet with Scotty but slowly get into it! So if 35% or so of my diet is raw, that is pretty good. I know if I could do it with him that my skin, hair, and body would be much healthier. Just when he believes in the raw diet so much, I want to support him 100% and do it with him as much as possible. I had a great day! I feel good tonight and am looking forward to my workout in the morning! Night all!

Update - Goals
I didn't get to blog yesterday on Monday. It was an emotional evening. Today is much better!
Last year, June 09-Aug 09 I went from 168 lbs down to 135 lbs. I felt so good and looked great. But I let the jealously of negative women at Curves get to me and I gained back 23 lbs. As of Jan. 1st, I weighed 158 lbs. I quit drinking McDonalds Sweet Tea and I lost 5 lbs as of Jan. 19th by just not drinking the sugar water and eating that for lunch 3 days a week...lol. The other day the kids gave me a McDonalds fry (I loved them) and I ate one and I was like "omg....I used to eat a large fry?? It is saturated in grease and salt....gross!!" That was a good feeling!
We started back at the YMCA on Jan. 20th. Since then we have went every morning at 5am during the week and have went and worked out at least one day on the weekends. As of yesterday, Monday I am down to 147 (-11 lbs) in less than a month. I do watch my calorie intake, workout, and think positive thoughts daily.
I don't want you to think "she's already skinny, she's doesn't need to lose any weight." Well think again. I have goals and want to meet them by my birthday in April. I want to be 130 lbs and back into my size 6 jeans. That is my goal and I would appreciate any and all support I can get. I work my butt off at the Y for 60 mins a day and workout at Curves 3-4 days a week for at least 30 mins+.
I have to thank my husband for all the help and support he gives me daily. He keeps me motivated. It would be so much fun to do a couples "Biggest Loser" if we could find a few couples and put $ in a "pot." Money motivates us all!! Have a great day!!

Ok well this is my first blog! I am finally getting started! I have had the best day ever. Started out with our ritual Sunday trip to Starbucks with my gorgeous husband. Then to church with my beautiful family to worship God. I walk out of there feeling so refreshed! God is GREAT!
Our weekly support meeting went well. It is so much knowing how much others care and are there for you. My husband is the best Teacher ever. We then got a surprise visit from our oldest son. Miss him and love him so much! That made me day!
Being Valentines Day, my best friend and soul mate surprised me with tickets for the Jo Dee Messina concert tonight! I had a wonderful and fun time! It was awesome!
Today we ate pretty good, had a couple meals that tasted very good and didn't work out. MISSED that ALOT! But taking a break once a week isn't always a bad thing!
Looking forward to the 5am workout in the morning! Love them!! Night all! Thanks God for giving me all my blessings in my life!
