I began my weight loss journey without knowing or trying. It all began when I was told my employer offered a discount at a local gym and fitness center. It was in walking distance from my workplace so I decided to sue this offer to exercise before starting work. I began on the treadmill and now use it along with the rest of the equipment.
I also found that in the gym area other classes were offered: cardio, bikes etc. but being overweight made me think twice about attending these classes. Now I do cardio, strength training and other programs/classes that they offer.
As time progressed I also learned of a support group called TOPS. My group is 999, Lancaster this is where I started to lose weight and become a healthier me.
I always knew I had some extra weight on my body. Growing up I had tried “diets” so I decided to join this group. My first meeting told me that “this was for me”, they didn’t stress any particular program, plan or talk about diets. Which is good because of growing up with the word diet tends to turn you off. I started going to the weekly meetings and found out that I could go there without judgment and receives support.
I attended weekly meetings and began to lose weight. Yes there were some ups and downs, but soon I was on my journey to healthier Denise. I had accepted my new lifestyle. As part of my new lifestyle I had to go through my kitchen cabinets, refrigerator, and freezer and clear out foods that were not healthy for me. I also went grocery shopping; I bought different foods like fish, boneless skinless chicken, frozen vegetables, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables. I also spent time looking for healthier recipes to spice up foods that I would enjoy. I also give honor to God, my family and close friends in helping me in changing my lifestyle.
After I began to lose weight I turned to the TOPS Magazine and my relationship with God for daily direction.
The beginning of my journey, I weighed 264 pounds and size 28 clothes. I am now 108 lbs lighter and wear a size 8/10. This took four years to accomplish. I’m now a KOPS and my responsibility is to encourage others.
Currently I work out six days a week and with one day to rest. These include at least three days of cardio (i.e. elliptical, cycling, step class) and strength training. The other day’s just cardio and weight training.
I am currently training to become a step instructor and plan to do a 5K run this year. It is good to have goals but I have learned that in order to successfully achieve those goals it is important to take one small at a time.

Denise's Journey (rough draft)
I began my weight loss journey by going to the gym that was connected to my current place of employment. We get a discount in the membership when we join the gym and when I started at the gym it was 2 blocks away and I could walk there to and from work easily. For a long time I didn’t lose weight, I wasn’t even thinking about losing weight. I was just taking advantage of one of the perks of working at the company. One of the memories I have of the gym is going to the gym and walking on the treadmill, reading a book or watching TV and sometimes doing both. I wasn’t thinking of trying to lose weight or becoming healthy. Some members that still belong to the gym I go to remember that about also, they are the ones that reminded on how I started out. I remember going downstairs where they had a gymnasium and had classes. I was too afraid to even try the classes. Now I take a couple of them throughout the week.
As time progressed I learned there was a group called Tops (take off pounds sensibly). My growing up years I was never a thin or skinny child, I always had some extra weight on me. So I grew up with the term diet, so when I found out about Tops and what it was all about. I knew it was for me because it didn’t stress about a particular program, plan or talk about diet. I started going to the weekly meetings and found out that I could go there without judgment and with support, get weekly accountability and lose weight. I found a lifestyle that I could live with instead of a program, diet or plan that could help lose weight and then become lost after I lost the weight. I found a lifestyle that I could use to lose wiehgt and keep it off sensieble. When I began losing weight I was like some of the articles I read in tops magazine, I lost and gained before learning how to slowly lose and learning the lifestyle that I use, that I now use to keep me within leeway and a Kop.
I began weighing in at 264 and size 28 clothes, about 4 years later little over 100lbs and now a size 8/10. I recently became a Kop and enjoy the fact that i can help others that are on their journey to their goals to become healthier, lighter people. It also helps me to keep in check to help me stay in leeway. I have learned that just because I am a Kop I can’t just sit back and relax, it has become a lifestyle and now I have the responsibility of encouraging others. I will always have to balance wise eating and healthy exercise. I will always be a member of TOPS as long as it exists, because I need the support and accountability. I found out that I tend to slack when I don’t consistently weigh in and receive the support that is needed to stay healthy.
I have a sweet tooth and I allow myself a piece of chocolate each day. It is small but it satisfies the sweet tooth but keeps within portion control, and helps me from going overboard and overeating, getting on the wrong road.
Currently I workout 6 days at week, with one day of rest. I do 3 days of cardio (elliptical, cycling, step class) and some strength training. The other three days I do some cardio and weight training. I do something that I enjoy doing that keeps me wanting to do it. I found out if it is a chore you don’t always do it. The buddy system helps also because if you know someone is there that expects you, you don’t want to disappoint and not show up. So both work well for me, I get social interaction and a good workout at the same time. I am currently training to become a step instructor, participate in 5k walks/runs. I am planning to do my first 5k run this year. I have dreams to become a leader in healthy lifestyle groups, cycling instructor, and personal trainer. I have learned that is good to have dreams and to have goals. But with goals it is good to have attainable goals to the big goals. Then you can achieve one small step at a time.

Tonight i went to a former instructor/friends house. She has a nice house and it was a good experience. These kind of events make me stop and think about how life was and how it is now. Both are good and enjoyed the experience tonight and remembering the good times. Also enjoyed catching up with people that i don't get to see often. It also has made me remember where i have come and how far. In some ways i feel stuck and want to move forward but that is hard to do considering my circumstances but in a way it is good to be where i am at. Life has been teaching me in some cases to slow down and enjoy life where it is. But in some to move on and keep going forward. Problem is i don't know what to do. I guess prayer, and wide open mind an thought before action is in order.
Like i love cvcc but in some respects i want to move forward to a thriving fitness center where can be challenged and i also feel that life is not going fast enough. It is hard for me to slow down and let things happen like they should. Big goal get a part time job so i can get out of debt because that is one way i am feeling stuck, i am needing to get money to get a better car, and pay some misc bills off. This is not a way to get rich just to get a better grip financially. The other is waiting to see what will happen to cvcc. I don't want to leave too soon because there maybe some hope yet. But not just to stay to stay. I do enjoy the people and the convenince of it being so close to my job. I will at least wait until i am mentored by Ricarda for step class and watch for opptys to use my experiences to help other people where i was. I miss the past but not all of it and the future is not easy because i don't know what it holds and but i like the fact that i have much more to learn and more growing to do.
I am looking forward to my 4 day weekend ahead. I need to write a list of things i want to get done and do while i am off. Hopefully i can do some relaxing while i am off. Tommorrow i get to go watch a movie hopefully it is a good one

Okay i have thoughts today but don't know to let them out. Several issues is going on with me but don't how to make them come out making sense. Maybe because they are not supposed to make sense, maybe i am thinking on them too much. One involves service at church, the other is complicated. This would be a good time to have a close friend near had experience in this one area. I am talking broadly because i be sharing this blog. All i say it involves a human. I tend to think too hard about things and they could be simple but i tend to think on it way to much. Then make them to be out more than they are. I am going to try to pray and not worry/think about it. Thank you Lord for your Love and goodness to me. Thank you i don't have to rich in my own eyes or the worlds eyes. That rich is better when you are blessed by God and have the relationship you should have with him. Today BSBC had a good service and glad that i went. Sometime i want to visit LCBC Lancaster city sometime. Maybe i can do it before i can to bright side sometime. Also i want to visit crossroads sometime again. Just not sure when because i don't like to miss my own church. Some Sunday i will have to make the sacrifice. Looking forward to what God is going to bring me in the coming months, year ahead.

Hello world. Today i am feeling like i either need to get a part time job and a new car. There seems to be 4 things wrong with the car that i have now. Looking for a answers, will be going to Lord in prayer about this one first instead of trying to fix it on my own.
I wonder why some days why in the world i have to go through the things i do. But i realized that everyone has to go through something and why not me in my situation and stuff that i am going through. Thankful that i have the Lord on my side to help me along this journey.
Just trying to keep in mind prayer changes things and can provide the right answers for the situations that we go through in this life.

So my blog is called my blessed life. It is blessed, but sometimes i feel like it isn't just because of the circumstances that happen in it. But i have to go and look at the WHOLE picture of what my life is and not what a small part looks like or what happens at that moment or day. Like today i was coming home heading towards health ministry meeting, and my two passenger tires blew holes in them and had a dilemma on my hands. The Lord brought over to people that asked how i was and to make sure i was okay. At the time i didn't take it as helpers but now that i look at it, it is. I am thankful that i have aaa's, that even though it was tough to experience had a decent place to be until stay until three A's came to help me and tow my car to the shop to get two new tires. Also the fact my mom was able to come and help me, the Good Lord made sure a bad situation come into a okay ending. He made sure i help, to get the things i needed in that situation. In life you have to take the good, bad and the ugly. But I am thankful that i have the Lord through them all. Sometimes you get to go over the mountain but sometimes you have to go through it or through the valley moments. But He is always there with you and make sure you sailing isn't as bumpy as could be.
Today i was able to go to a baseball game, good time but didn't stay the whole time. There was a youth that sang today the national anthem, she has a God given gift of singing. Overall i didn't have a wonderful day but it wasn't a bad day either. Things happen in life that are not pleasant but that is life. God didn't say our lives would be a bed of roses, but wait maybe he did. In the roses there are some thorns and some not straight stems. So in that sense life is a bed of roses. It just not the pretty part of the roses sometimes.
Tomorrow is fathers day, i am remembering my father who help give me life. I didn't get to spend a lot of time with him but i am glad for the memories i do have of him and the life lessons that i learned from him. Like what to do and what not to do. Thank you God for giving me a dad ad many other men that you have brought into my life that has made a difference for the better and help me stay away from the life i could have had if i would have wondered off, etc.

6/13/10
Today I went to church, did Sunday school and church. Both were good learning moments and the Holy Spirit worked and helped me learn some things about me and how to handle everyday moments. A church that is close to where i live helped us out today. Instead of having church they cut our hedges, m0wed the lawn and did some weed picking. Be definitely be sending them a thank you note.
Now i made lunch and ready to relax and watch blindside. I wanted to watch it when it was in the movie theater but didn't get the chance. It is supposed to be a good movie. I guess will see. Some days i get tired of playing church but always in the pursuit of being real and down the earth. I don't want to play church i want to be real. Moms day was hard at work, they had a bad day and busy one. I am glad she is home now and can relax. Makes me grateful for a place that i can work that is air conditioned.

6/12/10 part 3
I am home now from friends party from work. Why do i let worry get the best of me? I worry that everyone is talking about me and also if be friend this person on facebook and don't someone else. Why do i worry? God says in his word that we should not worry. I wish i could not be so critical of me and of others.
I had a nice time at the party and did some socializing. I am getting out of my shy box. woohoo! But still staying true to who Denise is. Who is Denise anyway?

Witness Festival
Today i went to a music festival that they call witness fesitval. It has music and speakers, so you know what goes on. There was a tent that had vendors: the people that sang, the people that spoke and some local colleges and buisnesses. had a nice time, it was hot and humid that means it was sunny too. The last time they had the event it was 2 years ago. There was alot of people there, i stayed for two hours and it was a good time. It was in quarryville, pa, it was in a nice area and nice setting. Big wide open grassy field, perfect, a lot of people but they had a big enough place that it didnt have to be cramped for space. Which i like because i dont like crowds and espcially if they are cramped. I can deal better if they are spread apart. I would hav stayed longer if it wasnt getting hot and it had more shade to cover me. Good time was had by me and seemed like everyone else was having a good time. I got to see PurNRG and Reilly then heard David Nassar speak. All were good and enjoyed all. I am hoping that i can go again and hope they have the event again. Next year may try to stay longer and bring some people along with me. :)
thoughts for 6/12/10 part 1
So what is going on with me? I havent wrote in this for a while, so it is time for me to do so. Today i am glad that i dont have to work because it has been a crazy week and I need a ceista. I hope i spelled that right. I had a down week but the Lord he brought me through it. I am lookingforward to the day that i can use my experiance to help others to become healthy and more able bodied people. They said at the gym that i attend they cant afford to pay anymore instructors so maybe my time is not yet come to be an instructor. Right now i guess i am to follow His lead. I see God in helping me become one but it is taking steps and time for the end result to happen. Like at the gym that i go to there is a lady that is willing to mentor/work with me to do step class and aeorbics. I have realized i need to more praying for myself that God will guide my life and maybe its time for some changes in all areas. Like in church maybe becoming more involved with other areas f church life. With support services and health and less with sunday school. But i need to pray first and let Him do the guideing and leading.
Today at church we had the business meeting. SOmedays it discourages me to see that there is not alot of people in attendance to the meetings. Another area to pray about and not let just discourage. I am reminded of the words of this verse " Let the words of my mouth and mediations of my heart and mind be pleasing unto the Lord" I dontthink i quoted it word by word. BUt i get the gest of it, to use my words and that my heart should be of Him and the things and thoughts of Christ.
On tuesday night i hope i can go to a event at eden that is with a deacon at my chuch that it is going to be about fitness and money. So prayfully i plan to be there. I need to call the lady at bsoc to talk about what she did to become a fitness person and learn from her. Thank you Lord how you lead and guide i dont always see what you are doing or understand it but thankful for the times He allows for me to see glimpses and little understandings. Help me Lord not get sidetracked on what you are calling me to do, i have a servants heart but i need to follow you.
Today i look forward to going to the witness festival at quarreyville i hope it dosnt get to hot because its not as pleasant then look forward to going to a friends house from work, she is having a family oreinted party. So looking forward to that. I look forward to doing some minor clean up. I realize there is a couple books that i want to take the time to read because they have been sitting there for months and months. I need to read and pass them on. Time is thhe issue and sitting myself down to read them is the other issue.

Downsizing
Had to do some downsizing on my facebook page. Took some people off that are from work that i dont talk to very much and i am hoping that there are no hard feelings but i dont think they are close friends and that they are just accauintnces. Hopefully we can still talk and be friendly still. Hopefully i can send an email early tommorrow and let people know and they can understand why i did it.
Prayer changes things. I am hoping that i can balance the computer time usage more effectively. Tonight i get to go to class that a friend is teaching she now teaches at a different gym.

Is thankful for how God controls all of life. I dont always understand it all but i know that whatever he puts in my life it has a purpose in HIS plan and i am glad i am following HIM. I may not always like it but know that it is for the best. I am diffently spending too much time on facebook and the computer, did better today than most, got housework done today without come to it. There seems to be a pattern to God's work, like recently he allowed me to take the class on primary aeorbics and was awarded the certification and received certification in cpr. Thank you Lord! Now is the waiting game on how to use both of them. I realize to get more certificcation i need more money but i will have to rely on Him to provide that and that means time to wait on him for the money and the right timing. I guess i will have to wait and see what He has in store and be satifised with not having it all happen at once and controlling all that happens.
Today i got all cleaning done, just would like to get some computer related things done. Looks like i will be signing up for the Freedom run 2010 it is to benefit eating disorders and Leukeima and Lyphoma light the night walk. I am trying not to sign up for everything which is hard because i want to sign up for every 5k run/walk that is out there but i have to have lots of money and time to do so.
Today i am remembering a lady that passed away. I didnt know her but i knew the family. My prayers are with them as they remember her life. She was 102 so she lived a good life and long one. Thank you Lord for her life and family. Be with them Lord as they remember her and try to live life without her until they get to see her in Heaven.

So gary coleman has died last night. That in itself has me thankful i get to live another day. I am thankful for the Lord on my side. I worked out today almost 2 hours and hopefully i can get the 2lbs off. I am thankful for losing 107 lbs. I hope to go visit my dear friend Dorothy today. I havent seen her for 2 weeks and i want to make a point to visit her often. Someday i want to write my story of how i lost the weight, maybe with memorial day coming on monday i can sit and do that. I better get off computer so i can take shower and visit her and then get to clean house.
