Not much going on over here...
Not much new to report. The weight loss is slowing down. That's not a bad thing. I've only got 40 more lbs. to lose so I don't expect my body to just come up off of poundage like that anymore. But I still love my exercise routine and I'm getting stronger.And we're learning new habits!!! Check out the above snack my little daughter made for herself. Not only is it pretty...it's aesthetically pleasing as well. Simple to make. It's a sugar-free caramel rice cake topped with a tablespoon of peanut butter. The butterfly wings are thin slices of apple, the body is a few raisins, the landscape below are half-moon slices of banana. Healthy, simple, and cute.
We don't need no stinking Doritos!
In other news, I'm finally applying to grad school for the fall. I'm nervous and excited but I am glad I took some time to just work. It gave me time to figure out what I do and don't want to do. I've decided that while I love to write, and that's my bread-and-butter, editing is my true passion. I just love the logistical challenges it presents and I want to be qualified to do it full-time. So I am applying to College of Notre Dame master's program in Contemporary Communications.
Pray for me!!!

I have been delivered...
Can you all believe it has been a year since my surgery?
I woke up this morning and it was surreal. I remember this morning last year. I woke up before the sun. My best friend Daintry spent the night before at my house and early in the morning we shuffled out of the house with my giant hospital bag. I had no idea how this whole journey was gonna go. I was excited but strangely enough I was not nervous. I knew that whatever the outcome of the day, it would be God's will.
The path that followed has been one of many challenges. God has led me through them all. I can't even take much credit for the result of this year because He is the power. He is the one who gave me the strength to get through it all. Now it's my job to give Him the praises and the glory because God has delivered me from obesity!
This day last year I weighed 327 lbs. Today I write to you at a much lighter 185 lbs. Glory be to God!
Thank you everyone who has supported me this year. You are truly a blessing.
