226 days.....

....until we board the Carnival Sunshine. My long term goal is to start and finish the ropes course on the ship.  To do that I must trust the process (thanks Ms. Tammy for putting words to my thoughts).   

I just took a full faced picture of myself, no special angle, no camera in the right direction to avoid the extra chin that I have, a true picture of what my face looks like right now.  I am also uploading a full length from this past weekend.  These will serve as my before pictures (may take a better full length picture later).  

I woke up today thinking about food, this troubled me after the lengthy discussions I had with God yesterday regarding this particular problem area in my life.  I began to pray and ask God to help me focus, help me to remain steadfast and to reach my goals.  His grace as always was more than enough for me to get thru that moment when my flesh cried out and wanted me to jump off the wagon that would be my  transportation to health and happiness.  His reminder was that "I am an over comer by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony" (Revelation 12:11).   He is faithful to lead and guide us if we will be faithful to listen.  

It's still early in the day, but I feel confident that I will follow thru with the vision I have before me, 1200 calories and a minimum of 30 minutes of cardio.  I'll check back in later to verify that I did what I set out to do!  

Thanks for reading, thanks for praying, thanks for loving and not tiring of my journey!
