This eight week intense summer challenge is not for the faint of heart. This challenge is for Catholic women who want to get FIT this summer while growing in Holiness. Let’s face it, getting healthy and growing in holiness go hand-in-hand and it’s always more fun and motivating to do it with others. Not to mention that a little friendly competition never hurts either!


So ladies .....................are you up for the challenge?

Cleaning out the closet!

Even if I don't lose a bunch of weight during this challenge I can at least say that I feel like a TON of weight has been lifted off of me in one sense.   

 I just cleaned out my closet!  Actually Johnny helped clean his section and it feels great! I literally feel lighter and pretty much....well quite happy right now!!  Amazing how this happens. 

 Now I am excited to go into my closet instead of the normal dread I feel waking up in the morning and having to try to sift through clothes to find something clean and unwrinkled to wear.  

 And although I am extremely excited to show you my "AFTER" pictures, I am absolutely mortified to show you the "BEFORE" pictures!  But because so many of you have been so vulnerable during the past three weeks in sharing of yourselves in this challenge....you give me strength to do the same. 

 WARNING: Some of you who are very organized people like Cindy Anderson and Pat Thomas and others - you know who you are, may be traumatized by these pictures.  I am sorry.   Please do not send my contact information to TLC's "Hoarders".  I am making a promise to all of you that before this 8 week challenge is over, that all of my closets in my house will be clean out!

 For those of you that may have a closet in your home that resembles mine, I hope that these pictures gives you the courage to tackle it!  I feels so good!  With Johnny's help, it only took us 2 hours. 

 So here we go!

And when it was all said and done we had SEVEN heaping bags to take to St. Vincent's and one packed full of trash. 
On another note:  I have this one very lovely picture of Shelbye Weaver (who is also doing this challenge) eating her very "CLEAN" and delicious salad for lunch yesterday at work!  Shelbye you are so beautiful!

Happy Saturday to all of my sisters in Christ!  May you have a blessed day!

    Great job Lorissa (and Johnny). Believe it or not, I am not nearly as organized at home as I am at work. :-)

    Thanks for the inspiration, it was just what I needed to kick start me into getting my closet done. I didn't take pics but I did get it organized and rearranged and got rid of a few things I don't wear anymore. I separated my clothes by size so I could see how much I have in Large vs. Extra Large and as I lose weight and can't fit into the Extra large stuff I can get rid of it. I would LOVE to be in a Medium, but that will be awhile. I also got my baby girls clothes organized as well. Master bedroom is coming along. Thanks again. =)
