Merry Christmas

Wow a year has gone by and i have only posted one post this year on my blog! I kow no onw is following me yet but let me tell you what kind of year i have had.

This year was my last year in college. I had my internship starting in January and ended in Aug of this year. I sure did learn a lot with adult protective services. Then this fall i had to take two classes and then i graduated in December in Social Work.I had a great time in college but now its time for a new chapter in my life. And to be honest i am very excited.

I usually don't do this but i am going to be really honest on my blog about my weight. January till now i have gained 25 pounds that i am not proud of. January till now i have had a lot of stress to where i turned to food. Food has been my comfort food in times when i could not express myself or in times when i wish i could hide my body and how I looked. I have never been a size 4 in my life time (with Gods help maybe this will come true). I do admire the ladies who are small. But i hsve figured out the secret to being "small" or fit. Drum role please..........eating healthy green little veggies that smell so bad when you cook them, drink a lot of water and eating about 6 times a day. You might be thinking how do you know this Mindi. Here is what i do know. Reading two books about eating better and talking to people who are healthy..thats what they do! ( I'll give book titles later to come).

The year to come here are my goals.
1a.make no excuses
1b.Be healthy
2. Lose weight to where i am more healthy
3. Love others more than i have in the past years
4. Be true to my word to others.
5. Drop 60 pounds in a year

These might seem like impossible goals but that's is why blogging every day and being honest with myself and others is where it starts. Two things I will hold on to during this next year is " I can do all things through him who gives me strength," Philippians 4:13 and "if there is no pain.. Then there is no gain!"

Merry Christmas y'all!
