Ok, so first let me tell you that everything is going better than expected, seeing that I am now single-ish!!! My sweetie and I are dating, and for the most part we are doing most all of our communication online, and that is going FAMOUSLY!!! I have his undivided attention – it is VERY nice!!! I got to have lunch with him today, which was sooo great!!! It feels good to be getting to know him again!!!

Ok, so I know I mention this all the time, but I am currently in training to walk the 3-day 60 mile Susan G Komen Breast Cancer walk, which is in late September. I have just finished week #1, and for being a 330, no wait a 320 pound woman, did I mention I lost 10 pounds????? Yes, thank you!! Anyway, I walked 13.5 miles during my first week, and seeing that the old me walked 0.00 miles a week, that is pretty freakin’ phenomenal!!!! I am very proud of myself, but I can’t take all of the credit, my co-worker Chris has been my  supporter and my sis-in-laws, Alex and Nette, are not only cheering me on, they are actually joining me for my Saturday and Sunday walks!!! What would I do without the support of all of my sister friends???

Ok, so yesterday I was feeling rather froggy – I had just finished walking 3 miles after all 😉 – so, when I got home after going grocery shopping, I prepped 2 mini meatloafs, a mini lasagna – good for two nights and some amazingly delicious and good for you taco soup!! Tonight I am reaping some of the rewards of my hard work because I am sitting here getting ready to enjoy a piece of my mom’s yummy lasagna and a great big green salad!! Oh, sometimes it really is the little things that makes you soooo happy! At least it does for me, that is for sure!!

Anyway, I have a busy day planned for tomorrow, but the thing I am most excited about getting completed is my two mile walk!! I am loving walking – it energizes you, and makes you tired at the same time, in such a gratifying way!! After only one week, my stress level is way down, the impossible seems possible, and I am sleeping so much more soundly!!! God has done such a magnificent job with this body he has blessed me with – oh that does sound vain doesn’t it??? I just meant that he really knew what he was doing, and I just have to treat it right to have it serve me well!!! God is good!!!

Have a FABULOUS evening and I will chat again soon!!! 😉
