hmmm...

Well. this was a great and eventful weekend, but i am really glad to be starting a brand new week! at the end of the week i get to finish my Christmas shopping. I love my Husband, and i cannot wait to give him his gifts. i am also really excited to give all my other loved ones their gifts.... :-) God has blessed us so much and really is teaching me to appreciate those around me. Scott amazes me every day with the way he loves me, takes care of me and wants to make me happy. He treats me like a princess all the time- what an amazing reflection of God's love for me. I am really thankful for all my siblings, both by blood and marriage. They all bless me in dfferent ways and i would never trade one of them! I am feeling pretty good, despite a weird night of sleep...i did not end up working out much over the weekend, unfortunately i was too sore from last thursday and fridays workouts...but i plan on making up for that big time this week! i am so excited about finishing my weight loss goals this winter. i just can't wait to feel healthy and even more like myself again! it's been hard living under this layer of squoosh that holds me back- i don't mean that in the sense that the fat makes me ugly, but along with the chubbiness there have come things like being ashamed of how i look ,and physical sluggishness that hold me back from being who i really am. so i am looking forward to getting past all that and becoming the real me! my current goal is to get into some size 10 pants by Christmas! then i am giving myself another month to get down to an 8 and then by valentines day i want to be a 6. then i will just focus on toning and sculpting the rest of the way so i can be at my very best in time for our vacation in May! i know all that sounds like a lot, but remember that on March 1 when i started trying to lose weight i measured a size 18. by june 9 i was down to an 8. so losing 3 sizes between now and Valentine's day is no big deal! and i just can't wait to have the rest of my spark Back! and with god as my personal trainer- i will be in the best spiritual shape of my life too! i want to thank all of you who are reading this for caring and praying for me, and know that i love you and am praying for you too! talk more soon!
