Behold, ALL things are new

Wow! I can't share everything with you but I will say that everyday I experience something new in my new looks. As I have said before, Tim, one of the Biggest Loser trainers, has been letting me help with his two teams. I was chatting with a couple of the ladies and I find that still relate or categorize myself with people that weigh what I used to weigh - even though they don't see me that way at all. Kinda like having an out of body experience - only it's all the time.

My body is healing fairly quickly. My Doctor has not released me to work out just yet but maybe this week. Although, I still haven't found a new trainer - I have asked a couple of people to check to see if there is a strength and conditioning coach at the U of A that will take a private client. Two of the trainers at the gym were U of A coaches and I seem to respond better to that type of trainer. The two guys at the gym don't have time to fit me into their schedule so I'm looking outside the gym for a new trainer. I hope to have something set up by January at the latest. I really miss the challenging workouts. I can workout alone but I need someone yelling in my ear pushing me to really get something out of it.

Complete healing quickly and a new trainer are at the top of my prayer list for this time. God has a way of working things out and I'm sure I haven't lost all this weight and gone through the surgery just to have God leave the rest to me. He will provide somehow I'm sure.

I feel weird not doing Christmas at The Salvation Army but I am helping Hank with his kettle coordinator stuff and picking up kettles and meeting volunteers for him. I have to admit I am relieved to not have all that responsibility this year! I just don't think I'm quite up to the pressure yet.

I started a new Women's Bible Study and really liked it! I might try out the Church on Sunday. My counselor thinks that I will recoup better and quicker if I have as little contact with the Army as possible - we'll see. I can send my niece to the Roger's Corps now that the new officer's are here. We'll see what transpires.

Blessings to all! Kari
