Broken Dreams

As children bring their broken toys
With tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God
Because He was my friend.
But then instead of leaving Him
In peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help
With ways that were my own.

At last I snatched them back and cried,
“How could you be so slow”
“My child,” He said, “What could I do?
You never did let go.”

OK.. well, I am new to this so I thought that I would post a blog for people to get to know me. I got married to a wonderful man last year and together we have 5 children. Three of which are my own and two are his. This last year has been a challenge to meld the two families together and make things work. In the process I have put on about 25 lbs. I am hoping to lose the weight that I have gained and then some!! My goal is to get to about 140 by my 30th birthday. That is giving me about a year and a half to accomplish this. I think that is a feasible goal. I most desperately need motivation and guidance in this. I feel that the competitions on here will help alot. I also like the mini goals. I think that I can his some of the goals relatively easily. Especially since my ex would always kick me when I am down and my new husband always offers me a hand to get back up!! I am lucky in every sense of the word. I just hope that this is enough to get me on the right track and help me lose the weight that I soooo desperately want to lose.

Well, i am a mother to five wonderful children. They take up most of my time! My husband is a wonderful man who supports me in every way! I had a really unhealthy relationship before him, so, to have him in my life has been a true blessing! Without my family I am nothing!! They keep me whole! Unfortunately, my previous relationship left me with about 80 extra pounds!!! So, despite a heart condition, I am trying my best to get where I need to be. The doc told me that if I do not start taking better care of myself, I may not make it to see my 30th birthday.. which is only 2 years off! So, I feel like I should defy all odds and motivate!! Unfortunately, that has been easier said than done! My work schedule is crazy… going in at 3 am and working all day… taking care of kids… getting 3-4 hours of sleep a day.. not eating right… its been a real nightmare! But, I am willing to try! So, that is why I want to do this.. why I need to do this… and most of all… why I am GOING to do this!!!
