Update and Weekly Weigh In

This week was really hard..My beautiful mom has gone home to be with Jesus..She is out of her pain and suffering and although I miss her terriblly, I do have a peace that is only attributed to the LORD! I am leaning on God more than ever and I am thankful that His grace is sufficient for me! I will be celebrating my 32nd birthday on Tuesday June 15..It will be the first Birthday where my mom won't be calling me first thing in the morning or sending me a beautiful card...Pray for me friends/family, I will need it... The memorial service was a real tribute to my mom, we sang her favorite songs, Todd and I spoke along with many of her church friends...and another friend also sang a special song. I am including the you tube links for both in this blog..The video tribute for my mom can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7nzlmcf6-8

My friend Cindy wrote and sang this song which was sooo appropriate. It tells the story of a woman who passes away and writes a letter to her family "Heaven Sent!" The link to her video can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9JKRiJS3QE

I weighed myself this week and I have lost 3.4 pounds(1.54 kilograms)for a total of 36 pounds (16.33 kilograms) in 10 weeks. I have dedicated the remainder of my weight loss journey to my Beloved Mommy...She was soooo proud of my decision to have the surgery and was thrilled at my success thus far. She will FOREVER be a driving force and inspiration to me...Thanks for reading!
