You know I clicked on my blog today to delete it. I thought I haven't posted anything for months. I have gone through so much turmoil in my life I don't need the pressure to do one more thing. A funny thing happened. I read through my posts. Although there aren't very many I realized that the woman writing those posts is already happy and healthy. She is ready to loose the weight.
It is 6 months later and I have now moved across the country and moved with my children into my parents home. I have not lived at home since I was 17 years old. So there are a lot of adjustments. Moving a 2700sq ft house into 3 bedrooms and a garage is a huge one. Living with my parents, another one. Leaving my friends behind. My children starting new schools. I need to become a full time working single mother. Oh and did I mention I am living with my parents. Haha. They are wonderful and very supportive. I am so grateful for their generosity but I am an independent woman and it is difficult for me. I am used to doing everything by myself. However I know this is where the Lord wants us to be and we are being blessed for it.
So how's my weight you ask? Good question. Not so great. I'm back up to 219lbs. I am embarrassed. I hate looking at my arms or profile in the mirror. This is NOT the woman I want to become. I now have new obstacles with living in my parents home. They are both severely overweight and have type 2 diabetes. They do not have good eating or exercising habits. My goal is to continue teaching my children. In the last week, we have already played soccer for a few hours, went on a bie ride and took an hour long hike in the woods. But I need to get ready to reach my goals. They have not changed and it has been helpful for me to reread them on my blog.

Starting over takes courage. It doesn't mean you will be perfect. So time to get a clean start. Here we go again :)
Tip of the day: It's never too late to start over
