Let the games begin!!

This is a picture of me (on the left) and my brother Smackie and my lovely little sis this past fourth of july.

So the thing that gets me REAL motivated is smack talk. I know it sounds funny but I have a brother who is the king of smack. His name is Tom. I call him smackie for short. He is losing weight too. We made a bet, only we really did not because we did not bet anything. We have been checking in with each other each day to talk about progress via text. My favorite was when he was ahead of me two days ago and I mentioned I better catch up with him. His reply was "run run as fast as you can, you cant catch me I'm the gingerbread man" Made me laugh so hard. It has been nice to have someone you love on board with you.

I gave up the idea of going on the biggest loser for one simple reason, I don't want to leave my family. I have been slowly eliminating things to be able to be with them more and this would defeat the purpose. I do know that I need to do this for me. Its time.

The biggest change in my has come through being happy with who I am as a person. I know if I am doing God's will I am doing good. So many times in my life I have been caught up in what everyone else wants or expects of me.He is the only one we should worry about and everything just falls into place.
