Well, It's almost been a month since my last post.... I have been really busy with planning trips and such, I just needed a little break to focus on other things. However, I have continued to watch my eating, though I have allowed some unhealthy choices here and there. Weight wise, I was down to 302 lb. though with our recent trip to PA....not sure where I am on the scale now lol...I finished my CPR training today and am now an OFFICIAL Devoted Fitness Instructor!! I plan to start classes back on Monday, June 2, 2014. A new exciting/scary journey for me, but so glad I'm on it! Forget motivation....you HAVE to be there when you are the instructor HAHA! I am excited that this will help keep me in the gym and MOVIN! I know that I am really going to have to get busy again if I am to hit my goals, so please pray that the Lord would help keep me focused on my weight, eating, and exercise. It is so easy to get distracted and soon your eating and weight is the LAST thing you can think about. Hmmm, just thinkin' ..I need to create my DF fitness fb page!! I also need to clean house, eat!(I am SOO hungry), and get movin! I have been in front of this computer way TOO long today! I just need to say EEK! I am a DF instructor!! lol....That is how I really feel... Pray for me and my new classes!!

My weigh in today was 304 lb. So I'm back to where I was :) I think I really needed that break that I had from blogging. I really needed time to just refocus on what my journey is. I had become kind-of stagnant in my journey. I was neither here nor there mentally. However, I have some new goals that have so-to-speak re-sparked my enthusiasm in my Journey. One is not really new...just dusted off and shined up metaphorically...lol. That is to reach the 200's. I am SO close. I was really getting bummed on myself that I was all BLAH when I was so close to my first WOO HOO! goal. But you know, that is just how emotions are...very unpredictable. I have a renewed ZEST to reach that goal. My second goal is to lose 10 lb. a month for a total of 50 lb. by our 15th wedding anniversary. I would be 254 lb. Only 54 to the end of my journey and the same weight I was in 1999 when we said our vows!! So even though the same small goals that I have had....a new bigger end goal to really grip my heart again. My eating has been better for the most part. I have refrained myself from eating during the night like I had started doing again. Not a lot...and *usually something healthy like an orange or something, but still at the WORST possible time to be eating it. Another side goal of mine.....I made up choreography to a song...and....lol, I can't even do the whole song without having to stop and let my legs rest. Soooooo, my first official day as the new instructor of our class is June 1. My goal is to practice this song like CRAZY until I can do it completely through without stopping. I have some work to do! Please pray for me and my journey. I need to drop myself at His feet and let Him carry me into this new chapter in my journey. Thanks!

Well, I have missed almost an entire week of my blog.... I feel like I'm stuck in a fog atm. My eating has went unbridled this week and I could tell by my weigh-in yesterday. My weight was 307 :( I have no reason for it being higher this time other than my strength is wavering. Or I guess more so.... My diligence. I have started snacking a lot again between meals, some healthy, some unhealthy... I still feel I am doing well with my exercise... but I have let my eating slide. *sigh* I am starting to feel kind of depressive, I'm not sure if it's just surrounding stress is making me anxious or what... I do have a lot going on atm... 1. I am trying to plan and save for our trip to PA at the end of May. 2. Seriously hope that we can take our normal trip to Ohio sometime in June. 3. Becoming a devoted fitness instructor. This is a biggie for me. I am VERY self-conscious when leading a class. My body is just not where I want it to be to feel comfortable leading... I can do it, but not "comfortably" and it kinda stresses me...I just don't think I'm mentally or physically ready... also the certification/training process and the time I have to get I done, which I seriously don't think I'll be able to do. 4. Being down on myself for my eating and lack of keeping up with my blog. I EVEN SET MYSELF A REMINDER!! And I still neglect to take the time to do it. 5. My lack of involving God here lately. I have kinda drawn into myself, and here I sit...carrying all this "weight" in my shoulders. :/ I need to refocus, I know that, I'm just not sure how to accomplish that goal atm... Please pray for me. As I have said before, I am a comfort eater, and apparently I have needed some extra comfort this past week because I just ate pretty much whatever. I need quiet time. I think. I need to just sit and be still and give my worries to my Father. Pray that I do that.

Easter Sunday.... Or rather Resurrection Sunday.. I have come to dislike the "easter" part because of all the sensationalism of it... and much of the "celebration" festivities have nothing to do with our risen King. But that aside, we had a wonderful day at church. Afterwards, we had a but if a dilemma while looking at a house... Lol.. but we were saved and we went on to the lake and went walking on the trail that they paved beside the road. Nice time. We parked down from the entrance to Wranglers camp and walked to devils elbow and back. Though on the way back my husband humored me and jogged some with me. I love that man! We jogged maybe 1/2 of the way back. (Taking breaks) By the time we got back to the van I had my 10,000 steps!! Yay! And was worn out! Haha... Gym tomorrow baby!!! Bed time right now though, yes!!
