I woke up and got to eat breakfast with my awesome church friends at our women's retreat. Then spent the next 4 hours alone, reflecting, and spending time with God. It was awesome. I worked on my testimony that I gave in church this morning. It was a very nice time. It was nice to be alone. I was nice to not have to run around getting things for and entertaining my lovely munchkins. It was about me and God. Then after lunch I got the chance to get to know two of my favorite girls at Hiawatha. We shared what we needed from God, we prayed and it was just nice. No interruptions, just good discussion! After dinner, things changed just a bit! We discussed our ideal commune living. Many laughs were shared. It was a fun time. I am glad I went. I feel refreshed and renewed! I didn't do any fitness other than my spiritual fitness. The food was not low-calorie or low-fat. However it was worth the risk to be where I was.
Day 29: Testimony, Home and Refreshed
This morning I shared my testimony at church. It was truly emotionally exhausting. It felt so good to share my story. It was welcomed with love and hugs from everyone. We are starting a new Sexual Abuse Recovery group. The group will run for 14 weeks. It begins on Sunday February 21st at 7pm in the Hiawatha Church library. It is open to all sexual abuse survivors in the Twin Cities. Please let me know if you are interested in more information my sending me an email. Today I will do the Shred workout 1 & workout 2. For a total of 40 minutes. UGH. I am not looking forward to it, but I am sure it will be good to be done! :o)
I did gain a pound since Day 27. I know it will come back off. One day of not being in control of my food and the fluctuation of weight during a week, it doesn't deter me, but it makes me want to work all the more harder!
I am looking forward to tomorrow's post. I have lots of good info I have been reading about that I am looking forward to sharing! Not to mention, I am looking forward to starting it too!
Weight: 203.4

I loved hanging out with you, too, Heidi. You are always entertaining and interesting. And I have a feeling that even people who know you very well are still entertained by you.
PS. Can't wait to start the commune.
You are so loyal to my blog! I love it.
You are an awesome human! Glad I got to know you a bit more this weekend!
P.S. me too
