"Feeling fine in 2009"

About Me

In 2008 I lost 30 pounds. This year I'd like to lose at least 9 more so I can be down to 140. When I reach that goal I'll decide if I want to lose any more or not. I'm so proud of myself for losing the weight I've lost. I have more self-esteem and self confidence and I feel so much healthier. I look so much better too. My son commented on the fact that now I wear brighter colors. Aw, tis true. :-D

"When I Say, 'I'm a Christian'"

Originally by Carol Wimmer, with alterations

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean livin''.
I'm whispering 'I was lost, now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are far too visible but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou.
I'm just a simple sinner who received God's good grace, somehow!

Why I Want To Get In Shape

I don't want to gain back the weight I've lost. I want to be an inspiration to family and friends who are trying to lose weight and show them that they can lose the weight in a healthy way.

My Inspirations

  • Continued Increased self esteem and self confidence.
  • Continue being healthier and looking good.
  • I want to wear a size 10 jeans. No more plus size clothes for this old gal. :-)
  • I hope to run a 5K in November 2009.

LOL! I love your new picture! That's the way I used to order my Whopper from Burger King. If you hear that they're going bankrupt, its probablybecause I don't go there any more. Haven't been since I started this lifestyle change last November 8th.
