Today's Devotional Scripture John 17:13

"But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves."

Just A Few Things

Okay so I am going to let you know about yesterday where I went to be evaluated for One Source Talent. They took my measurements and my photo and said, "Unfortunately, we don't have anything available for your demographics."

Translation: "I'm sorry but you're too FAT and we have nothing available for FAT people."

Did I let this bother me? No. I did not. I just simply told myself that they would regret not signing me or working with me right then and there simply because they only see this book by it's cover.

I kinda feel like they think anyone who is bigger than a size 2 is considered overweight. Don't they know that men want to see women with curves?

So...going forward from that... I walked 4 miles today at the Fayetteville McCurry Park. As soon as I got started walking, I had pain flame up in my left ankle then my right foot got to bothering me.

I knew what was going on. It was the Devil trying to persuade me to be lazy, but I got to thinking about my wedding gown I want to get into and have it fit comfortably, and God. I knew what by staying focused on those two things, that I would ignore the pain and plow straight on.

What I ended up doing is walking one full lap (which is the outer perimeter of the Picnic and Sport Trails) which came out to be 1.667 miles. Then I switched down to walking the shorter trail which is the Picnic trail at 0.8 of a mile. After that I switched over to the outer perimeter of both trails again only this time I walked all the way back to the car where I started and the pedometer said I walked 4.286 miles. I am so totally proud of myself. It's the greatest feeling in the world.

My measurements are 42,33,44. I know the first one will NEVER go back down but if I can get the other two to go down a couple of inches then I'll be happy.

My weight is 178 pounds and my goal weight is 140 pounds. That's 38 pounds I'd like to lose. And I know that I can do this. I just have to set my mind to it.

So this is it for now.

Excitement

Yesterday while I was working on my Math work I got an email from One Source Talent Agency wanting me to come in tomorrow so they can evaluate me. So I am totally excited about that. I have my outfit all picked out and everything.

Last night I decided I'd go to bed and get up at 7 am so I could get my walk on. I was up at 6:30 and I got my walk on alright. I walked 3.129 miles. I am so proud of myself. It takes discipline but I know that I can do this.

I was telling my fiance last night that if the agency says anything about my weight I will let them know I'm down to my last forty pounds to lose and that I'm working hard to achieve that goal since I'm going to be getting married in June and I am on the countdown to gown.

So that's what I'm excited about :) Have a great and blessed day everyone.

Awesome Weekend

Let's see over the weekend Edward and I junked a car that was sold to us. We made $447 dollars off of it. Then that after noon when we got home from everything, we went to the park just below the church we attend and we walked a little over a mile and a half.

Sunday was a great day as well. I had to work that day so I didn't get to go to church but, as the day wore on we were scared we weren't going to make our numbers that we have to make, but luckily we did. It got pretty busy in the last two hours of our day. That morning though Edward and I walked two miles at the park.

Counting Down the Days

I am counting down the days til I get married. I have exactly 54 more days til I become Mrs. Mills. :)
