Well, at least it is for the next 70 some odd days. And, the funny thing is, it feels very different this time. The last time I was here I had a good time, but there were a lot of stressful and emmotional things that were holding me back from really taking advantage of the opportunity. And, I am so thankful and blessed to have had the previous experience, so that I knew what not to do while I was here this summer.
1. Do not stress about what is going on at home, because you have no control over it.
2. Absence makes the heart grow fonder!
3. Stay focused on my goals. (this one is a biggie)
And, this year I have a very special sidekick. My friend Sylvia will be here with me the entire summer to help me motivate, and walk the "path of righteousness", so to speak. She will remind me to behave like a Christian, and to always remember my worth. I hope to do the same for her. Along with that, we are weight-loss buddies. She had a great idea for the summer to begin a Biggest Loser challenge. So far, we have about five people who joined, and our first weigh-in was today. I wasn't surprised at my weight, because for the last month or so, I've just been doing whatever, and eating whatever, and I was definately feeling the squeeze in my jeans.
We have been going to the gym, and eating healthy. And, I am so thankful that she is here with me. God is so good to us both. And, I appreciate all the little things that she does for and with me...
WOOHOOAH!!!!
