Here I am, ready to start a journey that I will continue for the rest of my life. I have, for so long, struggled with so many aspects of my life. From and unhappy marriage to being overweight, to losing weight, to gaining weight, and just never really feeling like I was important enough to take care of or worth it. I don't really know where I lost myself as I live my life, I feel like it was a series of events that continued to pull me away from God and as I kept falling, I didn't know how to pick myself up and move forward. The last year has been full of many changes for me, from the end of my marriage, to the beginning of finding the old me again, that was lost for so long.
So I have been really trying to focus on me and my health and my spiritual growth since January. I have developed a consist daily prayer life and have been making it a habit of working out regularly and eating better for the most part. I have decided this week though that I am going to challenge myself even more, hence the reason for this blog.
On Monday 09/20/2010-I will be starting a 12-week Body for Life Challenge to see how much stronger I can be. I still have 35-40lbs left that I want to lose and I want to push myself to do this by the end of the year. I plan to try to blog daily, sharing my success, struggles, and whatever else I am feeling. I hope that this journey that I am taking inspires others to really dig deep, not only physically but spiritually as well as I know I would not be where I am today without my love of Christ and wanting to serve him.
