Forever Beloved

Faith, Love & Truth

*semi* wordless wednesday

recommitting

so, i’m not even going to lie…i went on vacation last week and didn’t follow a single bit of my diet…every single day i ate WHATEVER i wanted!  i felt no guilt and knew that once monday the 12th came it was back to the grind.  i read up on tons of weight loss recipes, exercises and mags while i was on vaca and kinda made a little game plan in my head.

and no, i didn’t rush home and weigh to see what i gained.  that is just complete sabotage for me.  i would weigh, see how much i gained, be depressed and want to rush out and eat more.  i’m totally not falling for that game anymore!!  i will wait for a week or two to weigh in.

i’ve also joined a challenge to “lose 25 in 10″…that is lose 25 lbs in 10 weeks…and i totally KNOW that if i set my mind to it i CAN and WILL do it…one thing this journey has shown me, i am capable of way more than i ever gave myself credit for!  i AM strong and i CAN do the impossible (or what i use to think was impossible)…

so, if you’d like, join me in the “lose 25 in 10” challenge…we can buddy up and support each other!!

out for now

my heart is there…

when joey was a baby i was blessed with being able to stay home with him for a little over a year…then i became pregnant with jade and others thought it would be better for us financially if i went to work, and so i did…that was 12 years ago…since the very first day i went to work i’ve felt my heart was at home and i knew i made the wrong decision…

since that day my heart has been calling me back home…but then, tons of things run through my mind and i second guess myself and what decision i should make…will everyone will think i’m CRAZY for quitting a state job?  will we be able to make it financially?  at this point in my kids lives (ages 11 and 13) is there even any sense in it?  would they even want me at home?  will everyone think i’m just lazy for wanting to stay home? 

within the last year the Lord has really been working on my heart about it…He has given me a talent that i can use to be able to stay home financially (my photography business)…He has showed me that what others think doesn’t matter but my family thriving DOES…and i know that if i trust Him fully, He will provide…i am going to let Him lead me by the hand to where He wants me to be…

please…say a prayer for me, my decision, my business and my path…and hopefully within the near future i’ll be working for the best company around, my FAMILY!!!

out for now
