I used to hate the scale...

... but this morning I got on it and am delighted to be 19 pounds lighter than my starting weight!!!  8 weeks ago I had a doctors appointment for some problems with my leg and ankle (I was worried I had a blood clot.) So anyways, imagine the heart-wrenching pain I felt when I weighed in and realized I had gained 22 pounds in 6 months.  More painful than that was the fact that the doctor just shook his head and sighed when he looked over my chart.  So, that afternoon I hopped online and started to search healthy weight lose options.

8 weeks later, I have been steadily losing an average of 2.5 pounds a week.  Now, I have no intentions of telling ya'll my current weight, however, I will say this much, at the rate I am currently going, it's still going to be a LOOOOONG time before this gal squeezes into a bikini!


Current memory verse (isn't this such a great reminder?  God is SO good!)

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

New International Version (NIV)

¹⁹ Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; ²⁰ you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
