Making the Impossible Possible...

That is what I am setting out to do. They are so many things that I have always feared doing..simply because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do them. I felt the were impossible to do. I am learning and seeing that these things are not impossible...because for one thing...with God..ALL things are possible. He has given me strength I never knew I had and He has given me the grace to get thru each day...even when I felt like I was going to pass out. Since starting this new journey with my trainer and working out I have accomplished some things I never thought I could do!

One thing I have always said was that I don't run...not because I didn't want to, although I think that was part of the issue, but because I didn't think I could. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to. Prior to starting this journey I had only run for less than a minute at a time. Well...as you read in the last post...I started running a lil at the end of last week. But yesterday...I RAN A WHOLE MILE WITHOUT STOPPING!!! It was a HUGE accomplishment for me! I never thought I could run a half a mile...let alone a mile. I am going to run again tomorrow and hope to keep going further and further. It's these milestones and accomplishments that make it all worth it!! I was so proud of myself and was so Thankful for this opportunity. God is so good and I am just overwhelmed with the grace He has shown me and I know He will continue to show me! It's amazing...HE is amazing!!

The other accomplishment is for a few months...prior to starting this new phase I have been stuck in the 230's. It was something that was bothering me. At times I thought it was nearly impossible for me to get into the 220's. However...I now weigh 228!!!! It was so encouraging to see that number under 230...this is not easy at all...really tough at times..but it's proving to be all worth the sacrifice!!

One more thing that was encouraging this week was on Saturday I decided to go get some new jeans cause I only had one pair that fit me without falling down. I am happy to say that I went down another size and am now wearing a size 14 jeans!! I haven't been in this size in so long and it feels great! I am so happy and can't wait to be even smaller. I have this super cute black dress that is a size 12 and I can't wait to be able to wear it. I will be sure to post a pic of myself in it when I wear it for the first time.

I am now two weeks into to and going on my third...sometime next week I will be weighing in again and doing my measurements...so stay tuned for the results after a month!!

Thank ya'll for supporting me!!
