Day 8

Well today is day 8 of my journey through the Prism weight loss program. It was a pretty good week. Today Jesse is sick so I am trying to not get sick. I have been washing my hands like crazy and trying not to breathe in when I go to the bedroom to give him something. My emotions are kinda crazy today. I also am tired but want to do something but too tired to do anything. So I thought I would blog.
I thought went I started my new diet I would go through withdrawals. I didn't but now I am dealing with my blood sugar going too low more than once a day. Not eating sugar or white flour is easier then I thought. Jesse and I are making lots of good meals and are satisfied. It's easy when we are home. I don't have to feel "left out". It's stupid but this last week I realized I am a social eater. I like to be in with what other are eating. It was hard for me at first. Even on Sunday morning when everyone was eating the mini cheesecakes.
This is not easy to talk about. I usually keep all this inside. But I guess that's how I got to this place. I don't like to be different. I don't like to be mocked or made fun of. All the jokes about hurt at first. But God showed me something this week and became so real in my life. I don't think I could have learned it a better way. Steven talked about it on Sunday. That we have to look different than the world. We have to stand out.
God told me loud and clear. I have be OK with standing out and being different. If I'm not, something is wrong. I can't look like the world. I have to look like Jesus. I shouldn't be comfortable and trying to fit in with everyone.
So in spite of all that has gone on this week, I have never felt this good about myself. EVER.
Now lets see if I have the courage to post this...........................

My, How Time Flies

I still can't believe that it is already almost November. In just 15 days Jesse and I leave for your one year anniversary trip. Wow. It has been such a good year. God has been good to us.
Over the last 11 months of my newly married life people have been asking me the same question. "How's married life?" At first I was like, "Great" and didn't think much of it. But after the tenth time it got me thinking. I'm not saying it hasn't been great, because it has. But really, what did they want me to say, "It's not what I thought it would be at all". Then I got to thinking, for some people marriage changes their lives in a way they didn't think it would. But for me it just made my life better. Jesse and I have followed God's leading in our lives all the way up to the wedding. So how could the first year of married life be bad? Well, it's been great and I am so excited to see what God had in store for us next year!

Fun

Whew, am I tired. I had a super fun, super LONG weekend. I thank God for all my friends. Four days of games, swimming, movies. Jesse and I had an awesome weekend hanging out with everyone. Now it's time to get back into the routine of a regular week.

I Win!

Yep! I finally got my mom's sewing machine set up and figured out how to use it! I already have a long list of things to make for people. So I better get started...........

Blah.......

That's how I feel.
