I know I'm slack...

It is already Thursday and i haven't done any of the blogs I wanted to :( I have lots of photos to post and get a little depressed when I compare my blogs to other peoples lol but then I remember that they have a computer and I don't. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

My husband visited my home and said it's a good thing that I don't have the internet now as the house is positively spotless, that's certainly something to think about and when I do have the internet once again I will be limiting my time on it to an hour or less per day.

Well the day has finally come when I can say that I have lost fifty pounds!! I can't believe it really all the work has paid off and I found a love and passion in something I never thought I ever would or could and that is running. I used to think that I was too feminine to run and who would want to look gross and sweaty in a pair of trackpants. But the feeling running gives me is of such hapiness and freedom, no matter what kind of day I've had once I run I feel all the stress of the day melt away. Now I'm certainly no Cathy Freeman and I can only run for 2 minutes out of every five and have to walk the other three, but every week I'm getting better. I love the nike slogan that says "If I can do this, I can do better" and I apply that to every gym or dance session I have.

My husband leaving and the loss of my baby was seriously the worst thing to ever happen to me but it pushed me to lose weight and become healthy once again. God does bring beauty from ashes but it's not always apparant how, I truly think all the exercise is part of what has got me through the last months and God knew that it would. It has given me something to focus on apart from my own emotional pain and given me goals that I never thought I would. Isn't our God so, so Awesome. He never, ever fails me.
