Finally, a photo!

I'm not currently smart enough to get it to post the correct direction. :)

Down 33 lbs since surgery, 43 overall!

I'm so very excited...just a few short days away until I hit the 50lbs lost mark! I'm feeling great, looking great, and officially had to start a pile of pants that no longer will stay on me. What?!?!? I don't think I've ever gotten to say that before. Tonight I went back to my dance classes: Chicago Steppin' and Salsa. I was able to go all the way through Steppin', but had to sit down periodically during Salsa, as it was engaging my core a lot (and I'm not supposed to do much of that just yet.) I feel like I'm in a journey that is holistic: mind, body and spirit. I have decided to give up TV this week to just soak in the Lord's word and hear what He has to say to me. I was given the best encouragement from Him when I got my hospital bill and have enough on my health spending account to pay it off in full. I am so grateful for my God who covers me, loves me, and provides for me. One thing I learned in my devotions yesterday was the reminder that worrying is the same as not trusting Him. Hmmm...gotta work on that one. :)
