My First Official Weigh In, etc.

Ugh,....grimace,.....do I really gotta?????

Yep, you said you would, now, you GOTTA.

First comes the starting point weigh in:

260.1

Food Intake:

Well, I'll spare you the details this time, lets just say, I'll answer why in a second.

Depression:

Did not do well today, I let it overtake me and I dwelt in it. Poor Paul, I felt bad for him, he got the brunt of it today.  So, b/c the depression wasn't going well, the food intake wasn't too great either.

Faith:

I actually did spend time in the Word of God today, which is awesome. I just finished my lesson for the day doing a study on Christ being the Mercy Seat. 

So, that's today's overview, and now we have a makeshift starting point.  Now to push the Publish Post button,.........

God Bless,

Only 354 days till.....

I jump out of a plane, yes, that's right, jump out of a plane.  I dread even just thinking about it, even now, even as I've just made the decision to jump. LOL There are a few different reasons I'm doing this and refocusing my blog.  For the most part it will be the same, but much more intense and personal.  I have decided to focus on three aspect of my life this year with my blog:

1. Weightloss
2. My Faith
3. How does a Christian deal with depression

Because of my personality I have found that this is the only way to get myself on the right track.  If you take the time to do the DISC test which you can find on Facebook, it is quite helpful. I have found that I am a S.  For those of you who know what that means, you know I'm literally dragging myself out of my shell to do this.  My depression and laziness have driven me to the point of madness so I'm going to do something extreme by jumping out of a plane and making myself accountable to the world.  So no matter if people ask me how I'm really doing instead of getting the "fine" answer and being happy with that, they know whats really going on, even if its to my horror.

My hope with all of this is to grow in my faith so that I can jump out of the plane, because I know that if I don't there is no way they are even getting me into the plane on the ground.  My weight loss is an obvious one, it will also help ensure that I have a healthy heart for the jump, and a healthy heart for my family.  This journey is also about how a believer in Jesus Christ deals with depression.  I have heard both extremes on the issue and I'm wanting to walk my own path on this one, even if it does mean that I do eventually go and get a med that just helps conduct the positive changes that I'm making in this area. 

I will be posting weight-ins, what I eat, exercise routines, even recipes, to see if any of ya'll like them or if any of you foodie people have any ideas on how to change them to make them healthier.  These changes are going to be a combination of drastic/gradual.  I don't want to go too drastic and then fall face first and decide not to pick myself up again.  I would love your support and encouragement. I hope I am an encouragement to you as well.

Thank you for starting this journey with me, I know its going to be a crazy ride, but roller coasters are supposed to be, right? :-)

God Bless,
Jennifer

Its Been A Long Time Coming....

Hello All, I know, I know......you've missed me, greatly I'm sure, Bahahahahahahah. Anywho, I've got something great, something intense, something that is going to force me to update you quite often on things here at the Emery house.  I can tell you, it is truly out of my comfort zone, so guaranteed I'm dreading it already, but wait and see, its going to be great, and its going to hopefully encourage you greatly! But be aware, it may make you want to change too! Hehe 

God Bless,

Jennifer
