Curves Contest

We are starting a contest at Curves tomorrow to see how much weight our four person teams can lose in 6 weeks. We are to workout at least 3 days per week, (I go 5 days) keep a food journal and show it to staff once per week. We had to buy in for $10.00 each and the team that loses the most weight wins the pot to be divided between the team members. I need to lose at least the 10lbs I am up from this time last year, however to lose it in 6 weeks is going to be hard. Whatever I lose will be a blessing maybe I can at least get back into my size 14 Levis.

Friends and Friends?

The last two days I have spent a lot of time on the computer writing to friends and dumping a lot of things on them there were on my mind. Praise God for the few friends who do not judge and will listen and send good thoughts my way. Much needed prayers from those friends mean so much to me. Just being able to tell them anything and not have them look down on me from someplace they have never been, understand, or even imagined takes a special friend. I have been there already, picked myself up and changed my life getting rid of the past, and moved on to a better life. So much that many of you do not know, or have ever even dreamed of having lived through and would never understand.
Been there, done that., no t-shirt.

I am so tired of the high and mighty legalistic so called Christian friends that look down on me from their ivory tower, for going to live with the man who loves me and that I love. They have no comprehension of what it does to a person who has been physically, mentally and emotionally abused to the point of being completely broken. They have no knowledge of the hideous men who terrorize women to that end. Then they condemn me for not getting married, and tell me I am going to hell if I move in with Keith without being married. Bull S---, Happiness, the love of a good man who treats me right is all that matters to me at this stage of my life.

Praise God for the "True" Christian friends, who do not judge anyone and care about me just the same as always. They are the friends I will keep.

Warm California NOT!

Here I am coming to you from the cold 29°, Lost Coast of California. it is COLD. I am not even going outside until I am positive there is NO! ice, not taking any chances on falling. It feels so good to be pain free, Praise the Lord!! God is so good all the time. I am so blessed!!!

Not much is new here other than I am still trying to get things sorted so I can start packing, I have about 7 weeks to go until the big move to Oregon. I keep procrastinating and spending entirely too much time on the computer. This morning I will shower and wash my hair; it takes so long for all this long hair to dry, and I don't like to use the blow dryer. Although at times I do use the curling iron, not much use in that either as the weight of my hair and weather just straightens it out again. So I just end up putting it on top of my head. Keith likes me to wear my hair on top of my head but he likes it down too.
If it warms up enough this afternoon I will take the dogs out for their walks. Happy can't go far as I don't want to irritate his paw , his surgery is the 15th to remove the growth from the toe pad.
