Today marks the day that I am officially 50.5 pounds lighter than my heaviest weight. It's been about a 20 month journey overall, with some ups and downs in between. (and still en route!)
The trick is certainly mind over matter with every detail. I have finally found the routine that works best for me and I am feeling better than I have in years. My habits have gradually changed and I'm starting to feel comfortable in my skin again. Such a blessing.
Some folks connect my thinner self to the fact that I'm in love. Yes... I'm in love with a good man...and very happy.... but my journey to get healthy started long before the man entered the picture. I wanted this for myself. I think he just came along at the opportune time.
This summer has been an excellent time for me to date and get to know my new guy. He gets along well with the boys and I'm certain he is an excellent fit for our family. I'm excited to see how this current chapter is written. (I hope it doesn't end with a burning house) ;)
The boys have had bursts of busyness this summer. Each have attended camps, and Daniel is currently serving in Mexico with the church youth group. We've done some day activities as a family and they've also had days of doing nothing. (which apparently teen boys like to do...nothing.)
I have enjoyed great times with my friends this summer.
Laughter, lots of laughter. (and a few tears in there as well)
I'm seriously surrounded by the best people. They are a special blessing that I never want to take for granted.
So, our current state is pretty chill. Family, friends, love, happiness, all the mushy stuff. As of today I'd call this summer a success.
