Yes, I'm still alive!

It's been a whole month since I've posted! Time has flown by. I am back to doing personal training 3 or 4 times a week and I've gone back to the cycle class as well to jump up my cardio. My body is beginning to feel like mine again - finally. And when I see old pictures of myself I no longer see them as looking like me so I am much more comfortable in this body now.

I got to go to a couple of dinners during Officer's councils - it was great to see everyone! I miss my Army friends. I think some feel that I have changed but I'm still the same old me there's just less of me. I do like to do different things now but basically I'm still the same.

I've joined a new life group at church so I'm meeting lots of new people. My pastor challenged us to believe God for the impossible this year so laughingly I told my friend that I've decided I'm going to believe God for a husband this year. Okay, quit laughing - it could happen - who would have thought I'd lose more than 150lbs? Sarah and Elizabeth both had children after they were way too old so everything is possible.

My women's Bible study is getting ready to do Battlefield of the Mind. I'm excited about it. My counselor said it's a perfect study for me to do right now - I read the book a long time ago but I'm looking forward to getting into it again.

My initial sick leave is over the end of March but my counselor doesn't think I'm quite ready. He wants to extend it a bit anyway - we'll see what the Army wants to do. I would hate to move my neice 2 months before school is out but I'm not going to worry about it.

My new trainer is getting harder on me as my strength comes back. My ab strength is almost back to where it was before and we are working on my triceps and biceps as well. I'm kinda liking body-building - no, I'm not going to look like a freak but I would like my arms to have some definition.

I hope everyone has a nice Valentine's day! Remember, Jesus loves you so very much! You are His special someone! Blessings! Kari
