WOW! Has it been a whole month since I last wrote in this blog? I guess I'd better get my butt in gear again!

I want to start by saying there's been some pretty rough things happening lately with my cousin in the hospital. I just want to take the opportunity to say that my prayers are with Will and his family!

I still struggle at times with my eating habits. I just find it strange that I love to eat healthy but sometimes I even get carried away with eating healthy stuff too and I'm really bad at the night snacking! I'm feeling okay right now health wise. I have a new trainer at the gym now. He's good. Doesn't push me quite as hard as my friend did...not yet anyway! I realize I push myself pretty hard anyway. I am excited though because I'm getting some new stuff for abdominal work! The core is the one place I think we all struggle with...where all the fat just seems to linger no matter how big or small we are! I had a lot of weight around my belly when I was 300 lbs and it was a scary place to be. I'm so much better now, but it still concerns me that the weight I do have is all around that middle which is the more dangerous area to have it. I worry about Mom too because that's where she tends to keep her weight.

I'm trying not to get distracted and keep focused on God as my centre...a continual challenge. Just excited to see the direction God has for me, whether it be in my body/mind/spirit, my work, and my relationships. I really feel that He's been putting some interesting twists in each of these right now!:-)

I'm officially on vacation from work right now! YAY!!! I am being honest when I say I LOVE the job God has blessed me with as a Geriatric rehab nurse, but I am so looking forward to my time away. Will I be able to STAY away is the real challenge!
