Weight Loss Wednesdays- Week 3- progress, failures, and measurements

Sorry this is posted 2 days late. I took these measurements on Tuesday night like normal, just didn't get to  post the results due to me couponing like crazy on Wednesday and having a sick baby on Thursday. So this week I haven't gotten very many results but I am just starting and I am still having trouble with the giving up soda. Here are my results!

Weight Loss Wednesdays- Week 2- starting to exercise and measurements

I swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Real change comes from the heart, and if my heart is guarded then it can't be accessed by God for change. I am going to post my measurements, my weight and my true eating habits and working out habits every week. No lie!!!! Why am I doing this? Well I believe and hope that by being truly honest and accountable that God will help me change. I also hope that someone else out there will see my bravery and no longer be afraid too. You see the true adventure of this Big Life Change is getting rid of the fear in my life, one step at a time and fear of rejection is a big one. If you don't like me then tough, I am working on liking me for who I am and by doing that I am slowly wanting to take better care of me and building my self image. Not for the world or for anyone else, but because right now just the way I am God loves me. Not if I get skinnier, or prettier or even healthier. He loves me just the way I am and He loves you too. My image must come from Him and if I can believe that, then I know that I am worth spending the time, energy and money getting myself healthy. But only if He helps me, because I fail on my own. So here it goes.. my leap...
