This blog will be about the trials.


So... its been 2 and a half months since I last posted. So sorry, as I am sure you guys have been on pins and needles waiting for my next blog. : ) A lot has happened in that time. I am working full time at the daycare now, I have started practicals at school (which adds another 6 hours a week), and I am being courted by an amazing man whose name is Jonathan.

So all this stuff that has been keeping me crazy busy has brought me into a new phase for my blog. In my first blog I told you guys that I would be sharing tips on how I lost weight as well as the trials I face to maintain my weight loss. This blog will be about the trials.

I have put off writing this because I didn't want to face this. I have gained about 15 lbs. That still doesn't seem like a ton to me considering how much I lost but I can definitely feel it. My energy has dropped, I am craving sweets and carbs non-stop, I feel horrible in the clothes I used to feel great in, and where I could knock out 6 miles without breathing hard and struggling to run 1. Even though there may not be a significant difference I know I am not taking care of my body the way I should be. In trying to find the reasoning behind this I now some of it is from being so busy but I also now if I was eating healthy and exercising like I should I could do the things I have to do a lot more efficiently. Some of it may be because I feel a lot more comfortable with myself after meeting Jonathan. He is so amazing and I am blessed just to know him and he makes me feel pretty whenever I am around him. This is a good thing but I constantly remind myself where my worth comes from and that is my Creator!

So I set out to start everyday healthier and I am still messing up. I will never been perfect. This is a real struggle for me but I wanted to be honest. I am hoping no longer ignoring the problem will make this a lot easier.
