Lost track...or switch tracks???

Hi Girls!!! Sorry I haven't been so great about keeping in touch but I haven't really had much to report. At least it didn't feel like it. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I'm having a season of "slacking off" with my diet and exercise. Not sure why, but my consistency with maintaining my workouts and eating right are fair at best. I could give you about a thousand and one excuses but the bottom line is that I'm struggling. Normally, I would feel guilty and horrible about what I'm going through but I honestly think that God is trying to teach me something through all of this. Not sure exactly what but I definitely feel like my obsession about weight and my body are subsiding while my desire for God and acceptance for what I look like are increasing. Having said that, I know myself and I have faith that God will restore my consistency with my work outs and my eating...but this time, hopefully with a more pure and healed heart.

The thing that has kept me "sane" through all of this is that my weight hasn't really fluctuated. In fact, at one point in the past few weeks, my weight dipped down to 120.9. I almost had a heart attack when I saw the number on the scale but honestly, I was just thankful for the strong body that God has given me. The other thing that has kept me motivated is that for the past 4-5 years, I have maintained a steady level of progress which I'm excited to continue with. I started 2006 with a weight range of 140-143; 2007 with a weight range of 135-140; 2008 with a weight range of 130-135; 2009 with a weight range of 126-130; and 2010 with a weight range of 124-127. Right now, I'm sitting comfortably at a weight range of 121-123. I'm a size 4/6...I think I can deal with that. I think I can actually feel very proud of my accomplishment. I still want to meet my goal of 115 by December but it's not as high on the priority list as it was before. AHHHHH, freedom...feels good.

Thanks for letting me pep talk myself. I needed that. I'm so excited about TurboFire. I'm going to finish out the year with Chalean Extreme but then I'm definitely gettin it in January...CAN'T WAIT!!!

Amber, I am so stinking proud of you...118?!!!!! Are you kidding me...you're amazing. And Shannon, you have always been such a wonderful inspiration. I will pray for you and Pat as you make modifications to your diet. I love you both and I hope to see you both this weekend for a TIGHT A.S.S. REUNION!!!!
