CELEBRATE!!!!

I year ago I started a weight loss program called First Place. This has been a lifestyle change more so then a diet. Last night as we met to celebrate another session completed as a group I met my healthy weight goal and also an absolute milestone was achieved as I accomplished the goal of now having lost 45#. We meet as a group every Wednesday evening and weigh in and reflect on the Bible study we have completed for the week. We need to include in our lifestyle: exercise, prayer journal, Bible reading, memory verse, encourage someone, and writing on a commitment record of the food we have consumed for each day.
I say all this as an accomplishment, but it was defiantly not the easiest thing I have ever done. Probably the most difficult but also the most rewarding thing I have ever done for myself. This has been what has opened my life to all kinds of possibilities. As I seek new challenges, new goals, and new adventures I will reflect on them in a different mind set. What I once considered impossible can be accomplished if I set my mind to it and also if I trust God for the strength in each area of my life.
