Embracing Imperfection. Growing in Faith

Progress Pictures

Hey there!!!  Thanks for checking out my blog! I hope you find encouragement here about living healthy emotionally, spiritually and physically!   I have learned on my journey that losing weight is way more spiritual and emotional than it is physical.  Once you realize that, coping with being on a weight loss journey becomes much easier.  I didn’t say that losing weight becomes easier, but coping becomes easier.  You begin to see that God created you and you are beautiful.  Biblical beauty is far more important than physical beauty.
My real journey began once I figured that out.  And with Christ as my motivator, I was able to lose 65 pounds.

In January 2012, I kicked my workouts into high gear and got out of that plateau!

By October, I was 133 lbs and plateaued there for about 4 months.
In March 2011, I started working out.  By May 2011, I was 151 lbs.  In July, 2011, I was 146 lbs!
