I once was lost, but now I'm found!

Oh My sweet cheekas...
I am alive and well....
We have a new house but it won't be ready for 3 weeks so we are camping... We are loving it soo much... The kids have been great... Oz is diggin it most of all... Chauni could do w/out the rain and Josh is a bit tired from hauling wood.... Most of all I love it.... I get to be w/ my family and make even greater memories then before... I can't really see myself living in a town, but I am going to try... They all so badly want to live in a town.. I think they are NUTS, but a year won't kill me huh! We wake up to Eagles every morning as well as a few feisty black bears, the moose are all over the place waiting to drop spring babies... I have spent the last few days settin up camp and am excited to now start taking pictures. We did have a freak moment the first night, involving Josh some hot grease and my lower leg... It sent me to the ER.. i ended up w/ 2nd degree burns and blisters from my knee down.. Makes it a total drag to try to bend, walk, crawl into the tent.. Blah Blah Blah... Even that can't bring me down. We have never been homeless, but in the same turn we as a whole family have never been more happy.....
I am sad that we lost the house, But I know the great things God has for us will bring even sweeter joy!
NOW on to my weigh in!!!!!!!!
I have now made it below 400 lbs!!!!!
Scale says 397.. I had what they call a stall for a week or so.. No weight loss at all.. Let me tell you that SUCKED man!I was getting about 340 calories a day and not losing a thing! The Doc said it was my body in shock not wanting to give up any fat at all.. Then all of a sudden 5 lbs in 2 days.. SHUT UP!!!! I know huh? I feel AMAZING. My Back still doesn't hurt.. SO many years in pain and it just disappeared.. I can't stop the tears when I think about it.... No one can really tell tell yet, but I can....
I tell myself it wasn't about looking hot It was about feeling better... AND Man, I feel so much more alive! We are taking showers and washing clothes right now.. I am on the laptop... I hope to be on every few days w/ new stories and updates! I hope to get to read all of your blogs and catch up on everything! God is good.. You know I can't even type that w/ out my eyes filling w/ tears....
My name is Martina and just because I don't have a house, doesn't mean I don't have a home!
Much love, ~M~
