Feeling good!

So this morning after getting back into my routine for a week I have dropped 2 more pounds :)  I saw 184 this morning!!! I am only 54.4 pounds away from my goal and at this rate i'll be there sooner than I thought :)  I'm loving how much better I feel when I don't eat junk food. :)  As many of my facebook friends know I got a tattoo this past weekend.  I want to explain it a little so here it goes:

The awareness ribbon is teal to show for Ovarian cancer and the word "Prezivio" means Survivor and if I said it to a Croatian it would mean I survived :)  I decided to get this because I want to share the greatness of my God!  He is the one that put me on this earth and He saved me from a terminal illness.  I want people to ask me what it means so I can share my story with them.  Some days it easy to forget how great God was and still is to me.  I want this to be an encouragement to others that there is hope even when the world tells you there isn't.  I also want it to encourage me.  There are days I don't want to talk to God and days I don't feel like praising him but one look at my tattoo and I remember how amazing he is and how much I love him and want to be the best for him!  It's not just to encourage others but to encourage me.  I know there are people in my life that don't agree with this decision but it's done now and I hope that you can still love me and see that this is just an expression of who I am.  I want everyone to know the story of how God saved me and maybe even be able to share the gospel with others!  Please understand I did not do this to be rebellious or anything like that I think it is a beautiful expression of part of me.

Thanks for reading today 180 is SO close!!!
