heres the skinny

Ok, so here it is. Next Wednesday the 10th, I am headed to the Biggest Loser Fitness Camp in Utah. Yes thats right, I am going to fat camp! I will be spending 6 weeks there in an intensive weight loss program. Just like the tv show, just no cameras. I will be blogging while I am there to journal my trip and also let you all know whats happening.

I am very excited about where God has led me to. I lost my dad to heart disease this past summer. He was 48 years old when he passed. And God has really used his death to get my attention about my weight and health. I had some testing done a couple weeks ago and there was bad news and good news. The bad news is that I am close to having serious health issues that come with being obese. The good news is that my heart is currently in good shape and that I have one last chance to make a change. I am doing this to save my life. My weight has affected me my entire life. And as I am getting older (30 now) it is affecting my energy level and attitude and everything.

Anyway my goals in doing this is to change my life. It will be the hardest thing physically and mentally that I have ever done. Also I can't remember that last time I have been this excited!

Its funny, I have heard some people say God called them to live in a certain place or to a certain ministry. God has called me to fat camp! How nuts is that?

So thats where I am at. We are at T minus 6 days until I begin my Saffatical. I appreciate all your thoughts and prayers while I go through this journey!
