Overcoming Challenges

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:13 KJB
After my weight gain I really had to concentrate on not having a pity party and to just move on. Gloria decided to weigh again the next Friday. I stayed on my eating program and worked out with her and went in on Friday March 7th scared to death to step on those scales!! I did and waited for the verdict. You see I cannot see the scales standing straight. I stood there and it seemed forever before Gloria anounced that I had lost 7 pounds!!!!!! Oh yes I now weighed 322!! Just one pound from my goal!! I was so excited I could not contain myself and had to do a little victory dance!!

Just one more pound and it was only March 7th over a month from the date I set of April 14th. I wanted so much to reach that goal before the 14th of April. AND I DID!!! On March 21st I weighed in at 321!! I have also lost a total of 23 inches!! I feel so much better!! I get out of the bed in the mornings ready for the day. It is amazing how the extra pounds hinder so many activities!! My blood sugars are great--down 30-40 points! My asthma is better, my blood pressures are better, my back no longer hurts and my feet and legs do not hurt.

So now you are up to date with my progress.
