Laying the Groundwork

When I found out that my church was planning to run a "Losing to Live" twelve-week program, I knew that I had to sign up. I immediately ordered the book "Bod 4 God" on my Kindle, and began reading the first chapter.

I've tried to lose weight and create a healthy, lifelong lifestyle for myself and my family, and I sure know what to do. It's actually doing it and sticking with it that needs to happen.

The first meeting was January 15th, and I did not attend. My husband and kids were rolling in from a wrestling tournament, and I felt badly not being here when they arrived home. During the week, however, I began to realize that I can't allow anything to stand in the way of these very important weekly meetings.

Several friends planned to go, and I am sure now that I was very apprehensive about attending without someone to lean on. More about that later...
