The Beginning-- A journey to Physical & Spiritual Health (figure competitions)

So this is the beginning of my blog and the beginning of my journey into figure competitions. Some of you who may know me, maybe saying.."Is she serious?" Yes. I am very serious. As some of you may know I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2007. After a stay in the hospital in July of 2010 I have decided it is time to take my condition more seriously and see if God can heal me through a fantastic diet and exercise. I am currently reading a book call "Body for Life for Women" by Pamela Peeke. Its fantastic to say the least but one of the key aspects of my 12 week (plan to use this plan for life) transformation is to keep myself de-stressed and to regroup regularly. In the book she suggests venting to a support system (estrogen squad..lol) and to meditate... so for me I am going to use this blog to report my frustrations, my success, and my journey with God through this journey. My meditation is going to be prayer and time with God, this will be a vital aspect for me as I am believing that through Christ my disease will be healed.  


With all this said I am currently interviewing for a gym management position which I am totally excited about. Please shoot up a prayer as my interview is tomorrow at 10:00 am. This will also help with my transformation if I get this position. 


So some of you maybe thinking.. "When is this 12 week transformation happening?" The answer to that question is as soon as I finish the "Body for Life for Women" book. I want to be completely prepared and ready to start this journey. I do not want to start and quit half-way through. The diet and exercise are something I am going to have to fight to stick with and I believe Christ can help me to get the job done. 


As for my husband, I think he doesn't know what to think. I know he is excited for me to become healthier and I know that no matter what I do he will support me which is such a huge help! Love you babe! :D


Well that's it for now. Look for an update soon and also my "before" pictures! And please please please keep me in your prayers!!!
