I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7
Well I just found my tape measure.
hmmmmmmmmm...hoarding tendencies of keeping so much stuff then can't find anything.
Thank God for SOD. Simplify. Organize. Declutter.
And sewing a button on my son's pants and finding the measuring tape there..lol. All this time. There it was..Go figure!~
I grew 4 dress sizes!~
Talk about a shocker.
Since this journey began six years ago with intermittent fasting, I have never gained that much.
Sure a pound or two here and there, but that is normal and within a day or two, body is right back on track.
When I left Walmart, I was a size 4. These pants fit comfortably.
I can't get them past my knees.
Seriously.
Some of you will say I have gained weight because I quit smoking.
I've actually lost weight since I quit smoking..lol.
I figured out that the 'inactivity' is what had the weight creeping in, added to me stopping before the 'finish line' to eat a little too much.
So, this journey of whole and healthy as I've been mentioning on Face Book since the beginning the New Year has started.
I have given myself 13 month goal to be completely set free from the last of this weight that does not belong to this body..this vessel of God's.
2 pounds a month. Talk about doable! Talk about not making some grande goals to sabotage the success.
Slow and steady.
It will be done with intermittent fasting. Fast-5 Face Book group cheering me on, especially the closed group.
Walking.....
And Walmart of course. I tell everyone.."I joined a gym and they pay me." ...after they ask what gym..I tell them.
WALMART...gotta love it!~
lol..I do have to love it, I have to make that choice folks..each and every day sometimes...
The Walmart child still likes to throw a temper tantrum every now and than..''I don't want to be there, I don't want to work there, I don't want to work period. Why do I have to work..waaaaaaaaa waaaaa"..
What a whiner...getting on my nerves..LOL.
Blessings.

Hi Angela!! 15 pounds or not, I think you look fabulous. I could only dream of only having that to lose. You really should tell me more about the facebook group though! Hope you are doing well, I am hoping to get back into the blogging world again now :-)
God's blessings to you!
Trudy
good luck!!!
It's definitely doable! But, isn't size 4 to size 8 only two sizes? 4-6-8 I think that's the sizes. Doesn't sound as bad that way! :-) You're my heroine, you know. I've been away from reading so long. Need to get back to the fast-five group, too.
You are awesome, as is sis. But, I wish you much success on this journey. Love and prayers to you.
I'm with ya! You can do it! You look beautiful at size 8 too!

Sorry about posting twice. I need to learn paitience. Nothin happened at the first click of the key and I didn't wait long enough. Grrrr
Angie remember this scripture Phiippians 4:13 I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. So you know you have that lick. We are all cheering you on sis.
Enjoy the journey! You are not alone.
Oh congrats on the weight loss and on quitting smoking! Two very challenging undertakings! I always lose weight when I'm working, it's when I'm home with the kids all day that really takes a toll on my waist line. I go back to work this March (I work in medical) and I'm worried about my physical state, I've just really let myself go this winter. Once I start working, it will come off and I can visit the indoor pool when I head into town. Anyway, congrats and just keep working at it, you look fantastic!
