IF THIS ISN'T LOVE THEN TELL ME WHAT IT IS

My reflection for the night is simple.

Focus more on how to be more driven.

Look less at people in their faces (depending on which one they have on at the moment)

Find authentic,  honest love within myself.

Seek God's will and purpose in my life.  (Authentically)

Wait patiently for the hand of God to move

Love God unconditionally

Love myself unconditionally

Addicted to Spin!

So I am on week number 4 with taking Spin at my gym; I must say I am strikingly addicted to it. You see I began my weight loss journey a few years ago, I was a whopping 310lbs. Since the start of this process I have lost a considerable amount of weight however, I run into plateaus on a bi-annual basis.  My sister is a Pilates instructor and one of my good friends teaches Zumba however I never found my niche until now. All Hail to Spin!!!
