Lay Aside the Weight

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us…” (Hebrews 12:1)

What a Hog!




















I'm tired of being fat. Sick and tired. Angry. I hate the way I look. I hate that I huff and puff walking across the Target parking lot. I hate that I get winded taking my son upstairs to bed. I hate that I bought a shirt a year ago and I can't button the top collar today. I'm sick of it. So, today it ends.

This blog will chart my weight loss and healthy living initiative. I'll put it all here. What I ate, how much I exercised (or didn't), everything. Join me, won't you, on this fun filled trip. Besides, I could use all the encouragement, support, and prayers I can get.
