Finally, A Healthy Start

October was to be blogging about "A Healthier Me," however that did not end up being the case. God has not let up on me so I begin this life changing experience. Actually started yesterday.

Moderation and me do not get along so I have to be a little more drastic. Before I have said (mentally) it's only for a while... not lifestyle changing. There is a difference. I set myself up for failure in the past. I plan on doing this till I die. Which I hope will be a long time from now.

Along with the low carb high fat eating style I will be walking or biking when I can.

Two days ago I weighed and was shocked and happy at the same time. Shocked because I gained about 20#, but was happy to not be 220#! My weigh in was 216.8.

This morning I weighed 215.8. A pound down. I don't care what kind of weight it is... the scale moved and I am happy.

Some may think I am losing weight for vanity reasons. Honestly, I have never been at peace with myself before more than now. The reason for the change is health reasons.

Beauty does not have a perfect weight or age. It comes from within. You either have it or you don't.

Not sure how oft I will blog about the weight-loss/healthier me part, but will update weekly for sure.

God bless...

Update since October

Wow!!! Where has the time gone? Not sure at the moment the date of my last post, but feels like a lifetime ago.

We sold our house in Ellabell, Ga and were able to purchase a home on East 38th Street in Savannah.

Closing day was November 11 and we were moved in that night. Thanks to some awesome people... Ethan Grimes, Brett Farmer, Mikaela Farmer, & Austin Farmer. If not for these young ones we'd still be unpacking that truck.

The very next weekend the youth went to fall retreat and Daniel & I drove them up. Got home just in time for church Sunday night.

Thanksgiving was the following Thursday. Wednesday we were still trying to get the downstairs ready.  Thursday comes and we have a huge family dinner around the Farmer family table, which we get to use because mom and dad are so awesome to let us use it and the china cabinet.

What an awesome day it was.

We left Thanksgiving decorations up till December because they were so pretty and hated taking them down so soon after.

Time for Christmas. I will have to post some pictures. December was full of time spent together with family and friends. We were loving the house being used to entertain and chill.

Some ladies from church come over for a Bible study on Thursday afternoons. It has been a wonderful time of study, prayer, and fellowship.

Schooling in the Savannah house is much easier and such a blessing around the family table as well. Feels airy and peaceful.

God continues to amaze us at His workings in our lives. There us no way we would be where we are if not for Him. He orchestrated all of this and we are thankful and blessed beyond measure. To God be the glory!

God bless...
