Well, I have decided to have a blog....so what now?

So, I have decided (temporarily at least) to have a blog. I will see how it goes. I may not even keep it! But, I am willing to try most things at least once, so here goes......!

I spent some time reading the blogs of some Face Book friends, and was a little bothered by some of what I read on one, so I decided that if I wanted to get MY view out on life, then what better way than having a blog??? Pretty much anyone who spends a lot of time with me (you know who you are, co-workers) knows that I am not one to keep any secrets, or keep any feelings and thoughts pent up inside, so who knows? This could be a GREAT thing!

Not too many people from my past, specifically church friends, know that I have been out of church for some time. There are a few somewhat "valid" reasons for this (things that happened between former good church friends and I), although when it comes right down to it, those reasons are not reason enough. I know this, and God knows this. I am slowly coming around and coming to terms with a couple of the big issues, and God knows this too. I have a very hopeful feeling for the future though. I recently attended the "Flylady" conference at FBC Moore, and although the flyl lady (whom i had never heard of prior to this) seemed a bit disorganized ( to those of you who know who she is, I believe you would find the disorganization ironic), I really enjoyed being at FBC Moore, and catching up with a few old, but great friends! Although some feel that a church like FBC is too "big" for the pastor to know EVERYONE, God knows everyone there. It's a friendly church, with a lot of friendly people who are all there ultimately for God, and THAT is what is important. So, I am soon gonna start attending again, and see how it goes.

I have been on a journey that I started on 8/12/08 with Weight Watchers. To date I have lost 42.8 pounds! More importantly though, is that I started a completely new lifestyle that I am committed to, and that is cooking healthy, eating healthier, and getting out and about and MOVING more. I suppose that the weight loss has been a result of doing and LOVING the lifestyle change. Anything I can do to get outside and move more is great. Getting out into the sunshine is such a mood lifter. I am also hoping to get a little healthy glow type of tan. This pasty pasty white that I am is the old me! Lucy and I have taken several walks this week, and are about to take another as soon as I finish this! I bought a bicycle, too! It's a retro style cruiser. It's SO cute! As soon as I get my butt used to it, I will ride more and more! I have truly forgotten how much I loved to ride bikes when I was a girl!

Well, my yakking on here probably seems a bit disorganized, but hey, it's my first blog, so give me a break! Lucy and I are going out for a short walk before I get too tired! I will post again soon!
