The start of my journey!

It's hard to know where to start a blog!  I'll start by telling you that I have recently started my journey in weight loss.....again!  As I get older, it definately gets much harder.  I have enrolled again in a weight loss program that helped me first time to get my weight back down to around 129.....but those numbers are long gone.  I reached over the 200 lbs mark back in March so I decided no more!  I wanted the weight back off and since I put the weight on, you guessed it, I was going to have to be the one to get it back off.  It was going to take effort and responsibility on my part.  I lost 10 pounds before I went back to the weight loss program and since I've been there, I have lost 18 pounds.  I'm feeling much better!

I was getting discouraged when I first started exercising again.  I love to walk at a rapid pace but I couldn't find anyone who was willing to walk with me in the evenings at a local track and it be a committment for them as well as me.  I wanted someone there to encourage me and support me in this journey.  As of last week, I changed my routine.  I started walking in the morning times before the sun was even getting up, I was on the street walking.  During these walks, I have found such a deep inner peace.  I realize now why God didn't want me to find someone to walk with.  I already had someone....HIM!  This has turned out to be my journey in my salvation as well as my jouney in weight loss.  There is so much to see and experience when most of the world is still asleep and God's creatures are up and moving.

I will try to continue to blog and share my journey with you!

Here is my first picture I took.  I was just completing my walk.  You can see that the sun is just now getting up!
