Successful detour

Almost 2 years to the date of my last post. Funny how time flies. Even more fascinating is how God brings you full circle -to where you're "supposed" to be.  But "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."  Ecclesiastes 3:1 is ringing loudly in my ears right now. I've taken a detour in my process and it has proven successful.  I've gone from packing my bags and leaving the luggage at the front door for YEARS to picking it up and boarding the plane on my voyage. 

This successful detour has taken me to a 94lb weight loss since January 1st.  I'm glad I finally took proactive steps to drop these pounds. I have many more to go, but I'm finally on my way. Operation TP is back and in full effect! Next stop -->rejuvenating my regular exercise routine. 

I started exercising about 3 months ago with a friend of mine. Working out up to 3 days a week for anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour at a time.  I warned her in the beginning that during the first month "it's not pretty."  In general I don't like it until my body gets used to it again. It had been YEARS since I got moving! But now I kind of look forward to it. However, I'm also developing a plan to "step it up!"

The business of life has distracted me for the past 2 weeks.  I have not stuck to the plan.  I've attempted mobility by taking the stairs at work and walking the parking lot on occasion when I'm on my break.  Ok, it's only one flight of stairs, but one is better than none. My goal is to formulate a plan to get back on tract. Yes, "life happens" sometimes but these muscles aren't going to strengthen themselves! "Faith without works is dead!" (James 2:20)

Well, centenial weigh loss, here I come!...here's to the next 100 pounds!

Signed,
Working on my skinny gurl swag :)
