Another Bella waiting for her Edward...

OK... cheesy title for a blog post... but it got your attention. WOW... where to start! I am just so happy... "I feel like I could just bust and have happiness shoot all over everywhere!" It's hard to describe what it feels like to be so in control of your life and decisions... I think that it where a lot of my happiness is coming from.

I've lost 7 pounds!! (unofficially since 1/1/11) Since I started weight watchers... after one week... I lost 3.8! I am feeling fabulous! Not just the fact that I did loose, but the fact that I am in such control of my life and decisions. I am tracking all of my points and I know what is going in my mouth... I'm not even as hungry as I use to be... I am making healthy eating habits and lifestyle changes, and it is wonderful! I started my challenge this week- to walk for 10 minutes a day- on Friday and I haven't minded yet. I made my own personal challenge to "work-out" aka walk at the track at Danny Jones for 3 days! I remember how happy I was when I worked out- "exercise gives you endorphins, endorphins make you happy, happy people just don't kill their husbands!" (Movie quoter much??)
I can't wait for Thursday to see how I have done!!

A little weight loss is not all that's making me smile!! I'm in a new relationship! Well newish- no my knight in shining armor prince hasn't arrived-- this relationship is with myself. (Get your mind out of the gutter- not like that!) I am working on me. Knowing me, loving me, and making me happy. No man will ever be able to do that for me, unless I can do it for myself! Part of that is the weight loss, but part of is is spiritual and emotional as well. I am taking care of my mental health and drawing closer to God. He is truly amazing. He just gives me a peace I can't describe. I continually feel like I am thanking him for all of my many blessings, and the thanks never seems enough! He is such a gracious God and I am so undeserving of His grace, mercy and love... but He loves me anyway- unconditionally. I am so very thankful that I am a daughter of Christ. "Because we have been adopted, because God has redeemed us from our former father/owner..." Galatians 4:6

If are a friend of mine, you know the one earthly relationship I can't live without... my mom. She is so wonderful. I treasure, cherish and adore my time spent with her. I say this so often, but don't know if she really understands how grateful I am to have her and this relationship. I know so many woman who do not have this bond with their mother. I have such pain for them... I don't know what I would do without her and she is helping me in my weight loss battle, my fight to grow and be a stronger woman and Christian and in being my rock when I need her! I love you mommy!

To finish up this ramble of a post... I would like to apologize! I am sorry to any Twilight fan I may have offended in the past... I'm in love! I can watch the movies over and over... and I can't put the book down! The ONLY reason I am taking a break is my phone died and I'm letting it recharge before I open up my kindle app and finish Breaking Dawn :)
I cannot wait until November. You bet your butt I will be at a midnight showing of the movie!

That's about all for now! I think the phone's charged enough to finish. I vowed to not sleep until it's done! (Obsession-- never!)

Goodnight loves!
