Good Friday!

No, not THE Good Friday. But, I am now down 10.4 pounds! YAY! I've began working out this week. My parents had a step machine they had in a junk pile to throw away...it looked brand new! So, we brought it home and cleaned it up...good as new. So, I alternate between that and walking, and I am using some small weights to help tone my arms, sit ups to help with my tummy. With so much weight to lose I want to be sure I don't get flabby as I'm losing! I've also done alot of yard work this week, which helped to burn some calories....it is already 90 degrees here, so LOTS of sweating!

The weight is coming off slowly, but I didn't gain it overnight. Slow is better for the body anyway. I am also excited to find that my appetite is getting smaller still! For breakfast I am getting full on literally half of what I ate even a week ago. I'm not thinking about food like I used to either! Eating has become something that I need to fit it, rather than centering my schedule around it.

God has really blessed me with the will to do what I need to do to be healthy. As I was watering my garden and the grass yesterday, the song "Indescribable" came on on my Ipod...how fitting! As I watch my garden grow I feel so much closer to God....seeing more intimately that He is the provider of all we need. He is amazing!
