The picture on the left is after my first trip up “Colossus”, the huge hill on our dirt road.  Nothin’ but sky behind me!  I barely made it.  I had to stop and take so many breaks on my way up it was insane.  When I finally reached the top I got down on my hands and knees and actually kissed the pavement…ick!  Then…Rocky Dance!!!  LOL.  Crazy, right!   I became the incredible melting woman:) Here’s a few pictures of the good food I ate to get there…

I shrink

I walked from the mail box to the house many  times before I took those first steps to venture out farther into the world.  The next steps I took led me to the neighbors mailbox, then 1.5 miles from the house!  The first time I climbed the huge hill at the end of my gravel road I though I was going to die!!!  I had to stop multiple times to rest.  I think it took about two hours for my first 3 mile trip.  Now that would be ridiculous you might say, but you haven’t seen that hill!  But that wasn’t all I was doing different.  I started studying about enzymes.  I grew a garden.  I decided not to go on a “diet”.  I decided to change my life.  I knew whatever I did it had to be something I could maintain.  So, I prayed.  That may sound crazy to some, but for me it helped a lot.  I also fasted.  I remember my prayer when I was really struggling, “God, I love you more than this.”  Then it grew to “I love my family more than this.”  After some time it became “I love me more than this!”  Those three sentenced pushed me through some tough situations.  With my super supportive husbands help, we learnt together how to make our family healthy.  Jason lost a lot of weight too!  Here are his before and after pics!
