Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my family and friends. I am feeling so blessed this year. This year has just flown by. I can't believe 2011 is almost over. 1 week left and it will be 2012. As I reflect back over this year and as difficult and hard this year has been, I can't help but thank God for all the many blessings that He has bestowed upon me. I have a family that I adore and that adore me, I have a roof over my head and food in my tummy. There are so many families that are struggling or that are homeless because of our economy. I graduated with an Associate degree this last March, I have turned my life around to become healthy and happy. I have friends that have stuck by me and supported me through some very difficult situations. I am starting to learn to celebrate not only the big things but also the little things that come my way. Most importantly that I have a Savior that sent His only begotten Son to die on a cross to save me from my sins. Thank you Jesus for dying a painful, horrible death to only raise from the dead 3 days later to save me from my sins.
In saying all that the beginning of this last week was very difficult start to the week. I mentioned back in September a situation that I had with a guest that wasn't very pleasant. He eventually was asked to leave after about 4 weeks. Well last week he returned for another 4 weeks. I FREAKED out on Monday when I saw him. It brought all those scary ugly feelings. I was PISSED to say the least. Then to make things worse, on tuesday Micaela put me in the same hiking van as this guest. I FREAKED out even more and started bawling. A friend of mine Renee went and talked to Micaela and told her that I was pretty upset about that. My friend Rob who was here for the week decided to go on the hike with me that day to protect me. I was so grateful to him for that. It all turned out beautifully.
I lost another 2.2 lbs this week and since it was my 4th week back I got to measure in and since 4 weeks ago I have lost an additional 6 inches. That is a total of 62.5 lbs and 34.25 inches since returning 4 weeks ago. I still am in awe of my weight loss. I only have 7 weeks left before I leave the resort and head back home. I don't want to leave. I'm starting to freak out about it a little it.
So as you can see, I have so much to be thankful for. I am truly blessed. I want to say again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. May your 2012 be filled with love, joy, peace, and happiness. Dream big and go for the win. I believe in you, you have to believe in yourself.
