Shrinking Violets Check-in
Good morning, Violets! After wandering through dark and cloudy days last month, I am dancing in the marvelous light again. My precious package from Cathe arrived Thursday afternoon during my lunch hour. The UPS man was an angel who delivered a little box of hope. The surprise Cathe included blessed me beyond measure. I was so excited that I could not contain my joy. :7 I was not expecting to receive a gift and a note from her! It is a good thing I was alone during my lunch hour because I filled up with warm fuzzies and literally jumped for joy. :7
I struggled with my eating yesterday, but I am back on track this morning and ready for a new beginning. I packed my scale in a box again this morning and sealed it. My counselor encouraged me to walk in freedom and step on the scale every now and then to celebrate my progress when I can see a visible and dramatic difference in my shape and size instead of focusing on the scale every week. As of early this morning, I weigh 210 pounds (size 18 jeans). My goal is 130 pounds (petite size 8 jeans) by the 4th of July. I am celebrating my 40-month fitness anniversary this morning. I started this amazing journey on July 4, 2003, and I am hoping to celebrate reaching my goal on my 4-year anniversary next year.
I am returning to my Breaking Free Bible study this morning and hoping to finish the rest of this journey through God’s Word this year. I am ready to enjoy the first of my beloved new workouts. I previewed Cardio Fusion for the first time this morning, and I am fired up and ready to give it a whirl. Cathe blessed me with this special gift that I will treasure, and I am expecting it to be my favorite DVD of the bunch! She is such a doll!
Cathe is waiting for me. Have a blessed day! It is time for me to jump for joy! :7 Glory! I am hoping to check-in later with a review of Cardio Fusion.
Blessings,
Heather B.
