So what has been going on in my life?? Well besides the holidays really not much. It is extremely cold here right now and I am pretty much hibernating. Tammi , I don't envy you girl!!! I have been sleeping with about 4 blankets on my bed and can barley get my bum out of bed in the mornings for fear of freezing my bum off!! Although freezing it off might not be a bad thing considering my weight-loss challenge. Speaking of weight-loss, it is a new year and of course we are to have some resolutions. I have come up with a few of my own. Like to hear it?? It it go!!!
1. Spend more time with God - I am really bad about doing daily devotions and starting my day off right. Thanks to my Mom I now have a Beth Moore Breaking Free Devotional book (it was a stocking stuffer).
2. Belief in myself- I think we all struggle with this. I am guilty of comparing myself to others and never believing that I can measure up. So I must change my mentality and prove to myself that nothing is out of my reach if I work for it. "The Little Engine That Could" I will be.
3. Love Stronger-As many of you know 2007 was quite a roller coaster ride for me. I have been afraid of some things, more specifically growing up. My fears and my past got in the way of my ability to love like I should. I am letting go of those fears and facing them with a vengeance. No longer do I plan to run and hide but instead to love through the good and through the bad.
4.Lose 4o lbs -Okay not that the other resolutions aren't going to be tough because we all know that change is hard but I am determined to change my physical appearance. About 4 years ago I gained 30 lbs within a one year span. By no means do I think I am obese but I know that I am not at my body's best. Some of you might be thinking "40 lbs??? She won't weigh anything!" Believe me...this sistah has junk in the trunk!!! Stay tuned on Tuesdays for "The Scoop" and on Wednesdays for "Live Well" for updates on all of these resolutions.

When I read these posts, I read them with the southern accent that I assume you have...it makes it sound so much funnier in my head!!
Good luck with those "commitments" in the new year!!

Haha, just four blankets?! Yours must be thinner than ours, 'cause that sounds like a lot to me! Just out of curiosity, what is "cold" to you South Carolinans? (Is that the proper term, "Carolinans?") It's actually been very mild here the last couple of days -- like just barely below freezing -- so maybe we're kind of trading weather for a bit. Whatever it is, it works for me!!
Those are good resolutions. Lots of hard work, but we're all in it together, right? I've been praying for you over the last couple of weeks, and I will definitely continue to do so in this new year. The life-changing, faith-strengthening, personality-altering ones are the toughest changes to make, but they're usually the most valuable, and will serve you best in the long run. I intend to make some changes in those departments myself this year.
You and me both, sister, we're in this together.
I just read all of your posts since September, and my heart just broke for you. It took a great deal of courage to do what you did, and to commit yourself to God to become the best potential spouse/mother that you can be.
I will praying for you as you continue on your journey this year.
