One Year...

So here I am at my one year mark with my weight loss journey...  Let me tell it seems like lately its been an up and down hill with this part of my journey..  Right before Thanksgiving I hit 71 pounds lost and I was so super excited about that milestone...  So I have really had to come to peace and pray about it I had wished I would have been further along on my journey come my one year make...  But I know I am where I should be and am at peace with the progress I have made so far and looking forward to this 2013...

Slow and steady wins the race so that is my focus during this journey..  I am looking forward to all the extra things I will be able to do once all this weight is off me... Last Sunday I was able to get on the basketball court and shoot some hoops and before I would have been really worn out from just that and now I am not...

Thank you God for the peace I have with my weight loss so far...  Thank you to all my family and friends for the support and encouragement you give to me...

So my one year mark with weight watchers puts me at a total of of 70 pounds so far...
