I decided on the title of my blog due to the verse Peter 1:6-7. Be truly glad! There is wonderful joy ahead, even though it is necessary for you to endure many trials for a while. These trials are only to test your faith, to show that it is strong and pure. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold-and your faith is far more precious to God than mere gold. 1 Peter 1:6-7
I guess I should start from the beginning. I was told by my doctor to lose weight due to my fatty liver and shortly after I had gallbladder surgery. 3 weeks before my surgery I decided to do a no gluten/little to no starch/sugar diet. I have been sticking to it for the most part. I decided to start this blog based on the idea it will hold me accountable.
I started out at 183 in August '10, in October 176 & and now in November I am 163. So it works! :) My goal is to be 150ish, A little under would be nice, but we will see when I get there. I went from a tight fitting size 14 to now a size 10. :) I am pretty happy about my decision.
My goal is to update this at least once every few days. It may be hard to do as I am a Wife, Mommy, Clinician & Student - but hey I will try! :)
