I am Done

Well, I'm done on this blog. I've stayed this consistent weight for a good long while and I'm okay with that. I hope you have made your own journey, or at least found some hope that mothers can look like women after they have babies. The biggest blessing is finding God in everything you do. I love having a strong healthy body, and maybe I don't look like a model, but I love feeling healthy...it's like an offering of gratitude to my maker for giving my such an opportunity to have a healthy and full life.
You know, five or ten or twenty pounds is not a big deal if you can feel completely confident about yourself and honor what women were made to do: give love. I know that as I have struggled to find a weight proportionate to my frame, I've grown closer to God. I hope you did too. It's not about what you lose, it's what you can give. For me losing the weight opened up my world and I'm a happier person because of it. Thanks for taking the journey with me. May God bless you to find all blessings of happiness and don't be afraid to find health!

Good for you!!! Although I'm kind of sad because I liked reading this blog! ;) Here's my thinking...lbs are lbs...and aren't everything!! You can be thin and not be in shape, and you can be bigger and kick butt!!! I've been trying to impress on the young women in my ward that it's about being Healthy! not a certain jean size! Girls are hard on themselves...I know I am. We need to love what we have and strive to be happy, healthy people.
I'm still trying to whip myself into shape. Wes is six months and I think...haven't I had enough time to get back into shape? And then I have to tell myself...it's OKAY! You have four kids who need your love and attention...and sometimes a trip to the gym gets bumped for some play time with them...as it should be! Gotta put what's important first.
Anyways! (sorry for the novel) ;) Just wanted you to know I had fun reading your blog...didn't always comment, but I did read it. Love you girlie!!!!!!!! You look great, you're a great Mom, .. sure wish I could see you in person! lol
