Chasing The Dream... Enjoying The Journey...


Last week I had to go into the doctor's office for a check-up based on some new medication I've been taking. While it has nothing to do with the story, I give my doctor serious kudos for not charging me a fee for missing my appointment July 5th (as my brain wasn't functioning properly due to the mix-up with the holiday weekend.) Anywho, so I go in and of course do the regular weigh-in they always do as soon as they call you back. I made certain to set my notebook & clipboard down, so that doesn't get included in my weight, which normally I don't think of till after they take my weight. I don't usually keep track of my weight during my doctor visits.

To my surprise, he told me I'd lost 12 pounds since my last visit, which was about a month ago. Apparently, I'm more motivated and he was pleased. I've been walking a lot more, and certainly eating much better. Of course it's also a plus when you surround yourself with positive people who are willing to encourage you, and share your burdens as much as you should do the same for them.

On another positive note, I recently performed my first comedy show ata Womens' Retreat. It went super well! I got tons of great laughs! They say that women tend to laugh at comedy shows a lot more than men do. A big reason for this is men are afraid to laugh in front of the women they came with for fear of them not liking the joke resulting in a later argument. So it's important to make jokes that are appealing to women, if you're smart anyway.

At this time, I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce one of my sponsors for my weight loss journey. Mioshe Apparel has graciously offered to sponsor my journey. They support a great cause that is dear to my heart, and I would like to encourage everyone to check them out at www.miosheapparel.com

Human trafficking is one of the worst crimes today, and they seek to help put an end to it. When you get a chance be sure to check them out.

So what does the future hold? One can be sure it won't be anything left to chance...
God bless & thank you for your continued support!

Forever In Christ,
