FINALLY!!!

So after weeks of distraction and business.  I am finally here :)  I am 180.8 today :)  that totally counts as making the goal to 180 :)  As I said in my last blog I'm moving the reward to 175 because that's a more meaningful goal. My Driver's license says I weigh 175 and I lied when I wrote it...I got it in the year 2006 so I know that I'm smaller now then when I graduated high school but now I want to have proof1 :)  and when I get my new one I want to be able to tell the truth on what I weigh and be one of the few women to do so :)

It's been three and a half months of craziness but I've managed to lose 20 pounds in 16 weeks :)  I'm so proud of myself and so grateful that I am able to do this "for free"  I haven't paid for a gym membership or anything the only thing I have paid for were a few workout dvd's and I've only done those for maybe 3 out of the 16 weeks. :)  I know that I've had great support along the way!  I am by no means doing this alone!  Thank you ALL so much!

Today is a big day at church and I woke up SO excited!  I am so amazed that God uses us humans to spread his perfect message!  I will post more after church but it's been amazing!

Also this week I wrote a song.  I wrote in about two hours and I think it's a cute song.  My friends think it's pretty cool!  I am putting a link on here of me singing it.  I am a little pitchy but it's a first draft...  anyway I'm gonna post the lyrics here too so y'all can see them :)

Beautiful Ride by Elizabeth Joy

I think he’s sweet and I love his smile,
He laughs at me and we talk for a while,
When he walks in my heart skips a beat,
I wonder if he’s noticing me?

But I’m just a simple girl living in a man’s world,
Trying to make it to his side,
But I’ll just wait and see ‘cause it ain’t up to me,
I’m just along for the beautiful ride.

He sends a smile, and asks me to dance.
I think he’s finally gonna give me a chance.
He takes my hand and touches my heart,
I think he’s just a work of art.

But I’m just a simple girl living in a man’s world,
Trying to make it to his side,
But I’ll just wait and see ‘cause it ain’t up to me,
I’m just along for the beautiful ride.

So I’ll just sit back and let the sun shine,
I can’t make him wanna be mine.
I’m just gonna have fun and be free,
I’m just gonna be me.

But I’m just a simple girl living in a man’s world,
Trying to get it right this time,
But I’ll just wait and see ‘cause it ain’t up to me,
I’m just along for the beautiful ride.

This song is so much of how I feel right now :)  It's kinda my theme song!  I've realized how horrible my life is when I try to control it so I'm giving up control to God I'm just going to enjoy the ride that he takes me on :)  I hope each and every one of you have a great week!
