It's been a while since I've updated. So much has happened. I feel like I am always updating when tragic happens or when life isn't going the way I have had it planned. So we will skip all over the last year.! The divorce is done. I am glad to report that Dave and I are still REALLY GOOD friends and both are in REALLY good places in our lives. In fact, I've met someone and fallen in love. Totally unexpected. Unplanned. I often question how and why but it's not up to me. God's timing and God's plans. Joe (that's his name) has been welcomed in our family with open arms and created a softer heart. Dave welcomes him too. We all do a pretty bang up job Co-parenting. Along with Joe, I have started a new Full Time Office Job with a company called Simplot. (More about these life changing events down the down the road)! Today, I am excited to share another YES another Journey I am embracing ONCE again! My Beautiful Mess Journey. Most of you know I have lost over 115 pounds. But what most of you don't know or have seen; I have gained 40 pounds back. Showing this recent above picture of me is probably harder then showing you my before picture when I was almost 300 pounds. I've made a goal to lose those 40 pounds before I turn 39 in September. On top of that I am making it a HUGE goal to finally once and for all hit my goal weight by the end of December. With this project I will be blogging the real honest raw truths of m,y struggles and share my joy on the good days too! I will be creating videos, going live on Facebook and Instagram, sharing pictures, and much more. It's time for me to stop hiding and worrying about what other thinks. Time for me to own up to my mistakes, failures and experiences that lead me back to this road. My goal is to not only help myself heal but to reach out and hopefully touch someone else who's struggling or in the same boat as myself. It won't always be pretty.... Today, July 22, 2019 I start my journey. Sit back. Grab some water, tissues, a snack or nothing; join me. I would love for you to share, comment or post what your struggles are today so that I can lift you up, pray for you and maybe share a tip or two based on my experience. I know I am not alone. Either are you xoxo
