Happy New Year...4 months late! But here I am. These last 6 months or so have been the most difficult time of my life. My absence on blogging reflects my absence in life. I have gone through a lot of challenges, but I am starting to appear slowly back into the world. It feels like I have been in this dark tunnel - blind, with no end in sight - and now I am just beginning to see a stream of light shine in.
We got puppies in January, and they have been such a source of joy in my life. They start puppy school soon and have grown so quickly! I love them so much an really enjoy teaching them new things.
I am back at weight watchers and as of last week have lost 5lbs. I am such a skeptic though! I wont believe that I really lost those 5lbs until I loose about 10 or so. But the weekly meetings have been a great source of responsibility and accountability. Recently they introduced a new program that trains you to walk a 5K. Well, the walking sounded great, but I already walk about 30-45mins at a time, so I didn't feel this would be such a challenge. They also had a running option. So...here I am, a week later on a running program! I love it. There have been a few obstacles along the way, but God is really giving me the strength to push through and achieve my goal. There will be a 5K in Puyallup on May 21st, six weeks away... I am SO excited!
Not on the metformin right now, and I am hoping to keep it that way. If I can get (and keep) my weight down, there should be no reason to take it. I have been on my meds pretty successfully for the last few months, even with a few additions.
My life may not be where I want it to be right now, but God is providing and I have such an amazing support system - specifically my parents. How did I get so lucky, they belong to me!
Prayer Requests for the week:
-That I can make good choices
- That I am able to smile each day
- That I can enjoy my runs
Thank you for your prayers and support.
