Pound For Pound Challenge

Well, I need people to keep me accountable, because I just pledged to lose 20 pounds for the Biggest Loser challenge called, "Pound For Pound Challenge." It will be a struggle, but I'm determined to do it. So wish me luck!

"I Was There" Tribute to September 11, 2001

This is my way of paying tribute to those who died on September 11th, 2001. I WILL NEVER FORGET!!!

R.I.P Kerry

Today my friend Kerry Hutchins passed away from Cystic Fibrosis. She was only 33 years old. She was such a sweetheart, with two young boys. She was an inspiration to everyone around her! She will be greatly missed, but I'm glad that she is out of pain and in the arms Jesus! May God be with her family!
She has been in the Grand Rapids(Michigan) Press a few times. Until her story was in the paper, I had no idea that to be an organ donor you can't just sign the back of your license! You have to register online, or with your local Secretary Of State Office! I'm glad she taught everyone that, because she inspired people to go out make a difference by signing up to be an organ donor! The website didn't work for me some reason, so on Monday I will going to the local Secretary Of State and I will ask and sign up to be an organ donor. If for some reason God decides to take me home in the near future, I want to rest in peace knowing I did my part in helping someone else have a second chance at life. I will miss you Kerry, & I will be praying for your family!

Getting Started

Well, hello blog world! I Tiffany now have a blog. I never thought I would say that. This blog will be about different things going on in my life. I love to write, and to encourage people, and I pray that people will find encouragement here!

I recently started a weightloss program at church, and it filled with spiritual advice as well as physical advice. I really like that idea! I have lost 52 lbs. before, and I even kept it off for a few years, but then life (as it often does) caught up with me. So, here I am again trying to lose weight. Only I have to lose over 60 lbs. this time. I started the program last week. I did exercise some, but not as much as I should have. After I got home tonight, after the meeting, I got straight on my bike and rode around town for a half hour! I had to keep telling myself that I could do it, and that 30 mins. of exercise will not kill me.

I want to get healthy, and so I will try my best to keep up the exercise, and to eat healthier. I know God wants me to do my best, and be my best. However, how can I do and be my best, if I don't feel my best? That is the most important reason why I'm doing this! I want to do and be my best for God! It's not easy losing weight, that's for sure. Anyone who has been on the weightloss rollercoaster knows that. I am blessed, because I have friends to support me in this weightloss journey. It's important to have someone that will hold you accountable, and make sure you exercise and eat right. It's what helps me keep going. Before I sign-off, I lost 0.5 lbs. this week. It's not a big number, but it's a step in the right direction. That's the best way to go. God Bless everyone!
