My weight issues are NOTHING compared to other things

Life is but a mist. All my worrying about if I'm 50lbs lighter is nothing compared to what my dear friend is going through today. Yes I want to be healthy, and I'm going to be. Yes in my journey I will lose the weight needed, I WILL.

However Life is here one day and gone the next. Is this fretting and frustration really worth it all? I don't think so.

My girlfriend became a widow and a single mother today, and I am just heartbroken for her. He was one of those guys that you just couldn't forget, I remember when they started dating. I can't believe he's gone. They were just beginning their lives together. I don't get it.. I don't understand. What I am thankful for is that I have a God in times like this. I don't know how anyone can handle such tragedy without. I know that God will be with her and take care of her. I know that she knows who God is. I just have no answers as to WHY and it leaves me to think and ponder on what is really important.

Jesus... Family...Everything else comes after.

God you know pain.. Give a peace that passes all understanding..

Thank you for being there always

Be blessed

A little business on my Blog.. But I really want to make everyone aware

I am writing this note to everyone one I know to announce something I’m really excited about… a new Fall and Winter season is about to begin with The Pampered Chef… and I just can’t wait to share all the new products and recipes with you.

I’m sure most of you are familiar with The Pampered Chef….but if you are not check out their website (and products) at www.pamperedchef.biz/heidikozlof The products are fantastic…..and the shows are so much fun….!

My business grows by word of mouth… and I have been having so much fun at my shows… I can’t wait to offer you the opportunity to share an awesome evening of food and fun with your friends!! I would like to introduce you to all that is new this fall, and there are three ways that you can be a part of my business this fall….

1. Having some friends over for a fun, hands on cooking show: I would feel so comfortable doing a cooking show with you….….and I’d love to treat you to some great free product and massive discounts. Having a show is super easy and fun….and you get tons of great rewards for hosting. I can explain more how it works when we chat.

OR if you have no interest in that……you could…

2. ATTEND a very special VIP EVENT: I’ll be organizing a few fall launch parties very soon…..and I would love it if you came and just saw what I was doing…….Bringing a friend would be a great help too. We will have some drinks….make a great recipe together so you can see the tools in action and eat…..(and shop too if you like)

OR if you have no interest in that…..you could….

3. Place an order anytime or just tell people you know that your friend is a Pampered Chef consultant (in case they are interested in hosting/attending etc). Word of mouth is so helpful…..I could give you a catalogue to just share with people.

OR I can’t help but wonder if you might like to earn some extra income this fall and have a debt-free Christmas?
4. I have really loved my new business with The Pampered Chef and am so impressed by all that this business can offer… more income… more fun… more social time… all on your own flexible schedule. I have met so many people who are all so different - and who all do Pampered Chef for different reasons. If you would be curious to learn more about what I am doing, I would love to share more information with you to see if it might be something that would fit in your life, or not.

I will be giving you a call soon to chat about this and find out what your interest level is…… NO pressure REALLY…..I just wanted to make sure I informed EVERYONE I know about all the awesome new things happening with my Pampered Chef business this fall …and I wanted to give everyone the opportunity to participate in one way or another……..

Back sliding party

Okay.. You probably have all guessed, I haven't been really on the bandwagon with the "healthy eating" and get my butt moving.

I've come to the conclusion I absolutely despise physical activity. I know this sounds so lazy, and it probably is. The fact that Preston isn't sleeping very well, has made me very tired and no desire to get up and walk. I wish I had the desire to walk everyday or work out on the WII or even doing my work out videos. I can "blame" it on lack of sleep, but lets be realistic, I haven't got myself in the situation I'm in JUST because I'm sleepy. NO.. I've hated excersize for years and I LOVE fatty foods

Where do I start?? How do I overcome this lack of desire?? How do I change my lifestyle that I OH so Love?? Where do I begin?

These are questions that I'm going to have to figure out in the next few months. Does this mean I give up?? Absolutely not. My family is so important to me. I want to be around for a very long time. I want to see all 3 babies grow up to be grown ups. I want to see them get married and have babies of their own. I want to be called Grandma. I want to spoil their babies like my Mom spoils them. I want all of this, so because of this, I MUST change the way I'm living.

Will you continue on this journey with me??

I've gained 5lbs back from what I've lost. Holidays and back sliding is to blame (or myself is to blame).

Thanks for taking the time to support me. I really appreciate you all.

I am excited to announce that I am NOT going back to work in November. Very excited about this and nervous too. Not having the second income will be a challenge I'm sure.

Larry and I have started really working on our photography. We by no means are like his sister, who is amazing and if you live in Chatham, really need to check her out and get your pictures done through BJ & Melanie. However we really do enjoy taking "family shots" and "nature" pictures. I hope someday to be able to start up a little "family" business on the side of doing ministry.


Anyways, I'll keep you all informed with my progress. I have decided that I'm a terrible blogger, even though I enjoy blogging.. So funny!!

Be blessed everyone. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Love
Heidi
