My Soldier. My Brother.

What can I say? My Brother has been a Soldier in the U.S. Army for a little more than 72 hours and there are so many things I am feeling, Proud, Excited, Sad, Love. Sad only because the fact that my baby brother has now become a man. All these feelings and more keep coming up. They come up because of the love I have for him. The great boy that I know now from the cute little boy with freckles from the top of his red curly hair to the bottom of his toes has in just a day become a man. I have the up-most respect for the decision that he has made to enter the Army. What an honor and privilege. My brother was very excited about going, ecstatic in-fact. I pray for him everyday and hope that God will give him the guidance and support he needs. I love my brother so much and to actually say that he is serving his country is so majestic to me, so noble. I am very proud of my brother. I only wish my brother the nest and hope he always remembers that God loves him and his family loves him. Forever.

Words of Wisdom: Always put God first and everything else will fall into place.

Weight Watchers

I decided to join weight watchers a week and half ago. So far I have done very well with this. First week weight in 4.8 lbs lost. (Not bad) but only exercised once. However this week, I am struggling a little. I seem to be going back to that old habit of mine, boredom eating. As I have not (to this date) “cheated” but the urge is SO strong. I decided to start blogging about the success in this weight loss because of this reason. I feel if I fill my life with talking and writing about my weight loss and things I want to accomplish, it will keep my mind motivated and on task. (Right? Or am I just kidding myself?) Last night I had an epiphany though. I was able to for the first time in a week (I really mean two years and a week) to fit into a pair of jeans! Not a different size, but a different pair that was too small!!!! I was so excited about this! I couldn’t believe that in a week I had done just that little task. I felt very powerful and in control of my life, but that soon f...

January 6th - 10th

Those are the dates, the dates that the treadmill will be delivered. It is the 6th already. Where is my treadmill? I know I shouldn’t be antsy, but I am. My husband’s daughter signed up for the ½ marathon and it got me thinking about doing that. Now, the ½ marathon is definitely out of me reach, but I am hoping by September that my husband and I will be able to participate in one of the Fort4Fitness races. I can’t believe that I am writing this. I have been over-weight for more 10 years and I would have never imagined that I would even consider doing this for myself. This is the year. This is the year that I become myself again. I used to be so athletic and now, I couldn’t run for 5 minutes without stopping. I am so looking forward to this treadmill and this training schedule. This is very exciting for me. If only my treadmill would get here. :)
