Day Tweleve



Can you say Hooooooooooooootttttttttttttttttttttttt, it is very hot in Georgia and today I think really topped it,104 degrees. I thank God so much for the sunshine and I know he controls the weather and I am letting him work. Lord, I am praying for some rain and if I can send my request, a week of rain would be wonderful. I know it would cut into my work, but Lord you will supply my needs. I thought about not having access to air condition and some people don't have that and some can't afford it. I even thought about the people on the streets. It really saddens me to think, that here I am with air and a shelter over my head and people tend to complain about all the uncalled for things. I am truly thankful that God has blessed me and I am more thankful, that the holy spirit brings it all back to my remembrance. I pray that God will provide give us all the some cool weather.


Day 12


Well woke a little earlier today, and I ate two small boiled eggs, a piece of toast and a glass of water. I didn't walk today, due to the heat and later on I got a little lazy. I did however do a some streches and I walked on the tredmill for about 15 mins. For lunch I ate a lasage smart one with a glass of kool-aid. I got a little hungry before dinner and I ate a peach. For dinner, I ate six pieces of fried chicken wings, they were the half wings, small portion of mixed veggies, small portion of yellow rice and stewed tomoatoes. I had a glass of kool-aid with the meal and water.



Yes, my dinner was big..lol. I still gotta take it easy if I wanna meet my target weight. I am so proud of me I worked out a whole week and I ate right. All praises goes to God, I know that this has been all of him. I am entering into the weekend and I will stand strong, by the grace of God. The weekends cam be a challenge for me, when it comes to the eating and exercing, but I am determined to let God lead me on through as he is doing now. Gotta keep going for my this temple:)

Day Eleven

Praises goes all to God. I woke in pain and, well as a female these pains are common. Usually, I can't even do anything when this time comes around. I know that it was by the the grace of God only, because I managed to still go on with my day. Only God is all I can say:)


Day 11

Well, for breakfast I ate three pieces of sausage halves very small, that were baked, a piece of toast, and a peach with a glass of water. I took my normal walk, but I also jogged for about ten minutes(short but hey, I am still fresh..lol) and it didn't feel bad. Lunch I ate a tuna to go and had a glass of water. My afternoon excersise consisted of taking photos, that required alot of movement and cleaning my church. For dinner, I got some Mickey D's. I had a quater pounder with cheese, medium tators and medium sprite.


I felt like I didn't eat to bad today, but I am praying that next week I am 4 pounds lighter of even more. So I gotta be carful with the food. God is still working with this temple, so I am letting him have his way. I didn't get in my jump roping, but there is always tomorrow.

Day Ten

A long wonderful day today, I am so thankful that God carried me through another day of this process, that I am going through. I know that I am not done and he is about to do somethings, that not even I will be able to understand.



Day 10

  Today, I got my day started with the word of God, I want my God to do somethings in my life, so yes I am going to put him before all that I do. Breakfast, I ate about a cup full of cheerioes with 2 percent milk. For my lunch, I had my left other 6 inch sub from yesterday and I had a bottle water with it. I got in my first walk, a second day this week...Yay me. I also did my second walk and each walk was about 25 minutes(I will build up at my pace). For dinner, I ate three piceces of half of a chicken wing, which is like a wing and a half, yellow rice, stewed tomatoes and a peach. I also had another bottled water. Well, I am pround of myself because I wanted so bad to eat me some fried wings, but I fought the temptation, proud of me:)



 Well, I gotta get in some jump rope time tomorrow, because I wanted to start this week and I may even try and do some jogging. I also want to start on my situps and other excerise before bed. I gotta keep my body going. I am gonna win this battle of weight lose and get back in good health. My body is God's temple and I am gonna treat it better. I know that this is my season for a new temple:)

Day Nine

Well, I have not recorded my others days so I will start here at day nine. This has been a great day, I can tell that my body is trying to adjust to changes, because the soreness is no joke. My weekend eating habits were not bad. I didn't pig out or over eat, but I didn't get in any exercises, well not my normal exercises. I was however on the move a lot so  I guess that was my workout. Especially my Photo Session on Saturday, I had one year old and he was very busy so he gave me a workout. Then on Sunday, my family had a reunion and I was on the move taking pictures. So I yes, I did get some exercise in. The biggest news I received today was that I lost three pounds. It isn't a lot, but it is better than nothing and I am so glad because I wouldn't lose anything. So now I know what I am doing isn't bad, but I know now to do better. I thank God so much for the motivation, that he has given me and I know that this journey is only gonna get better. I can have to also record that some things in my life were weighing a little heavy on n my heart and I thank God for giving me a peace of mine. I haven't once thought of those things this week. God is in the healing business and I thank him for healing me.


Day 9

 Today, I ate two boiled eggs, and two hash browns for breakfast, with a bottle of water. I didn't get my morning exercise in, but I walked in the afternoon. For lunch I had a 6 inch sub sandwich with two peanut butter cookies and a bottle of water.  Dinner I had a piece of grilled pork chop that I put on the foreman grill and mixed veggies and a bottle water. A little after I had some low fat popcorn.


So yeah I gotta work harder, because my target weight loss for next week is four pounds. I am gonna get in some jump rope time. I am also gonna cram my two times a day workouts. Well, looking forward to tomorrow:)

Day Four

Okay, this was another great day and I thank God so much for it. Today, I attended the Museum of Arts and Sicence in Macon Georgia, with the pre-teen girls in my Church. Wow, it was so fun and interesting and I totally enjoyed myself and after thinking I was gonna just be sitting in the house all week long, this was a blessing for me to even go. I will be sharing pictures soon.


Day 4

Well, this morning, I spent time with God and I am coming close to the end of Job. I want to fully understand it. So I am gonna read it again once I am done. For breakfast today I had grits, two small pieces of saugues, a banana and a glass of water. For luch, we ended up going to mcdonalds. I got a cheese burger and a medium fire and a sprite (so bad I know and I felt bad a little, and the food really wasn't good) to drink. I didn't get a proper workout today, but walking all over the Museum was good on a workout.  My leg was very sore, and I know that walking as I do was out of hand for me.I had a small bottle water while headed back. I wanted to get in more water, well I got in more than I did yesterday...Yay me..lol. I slipped up and when it came time for dinner, while waiting I ate a grab bag of cheddar chips. Then for dinner I had four samll fried chicken stripes, corn and a glass of sprite(okay not so good on the water) and that was it. Well, tomorrow it is time to get back on track again.

Day Three

This has been a great day, and I made it over what we call the hump. I found myself a little tempted by the enemy, but I kept going. I think that, I am on my way, but I am still just beginning.

Day 3

Well, this morning I woke and I spent time with God reading in his word and preparing my day. I had two boiled eggs and a piece of toast and a glass of water for breakfast. Sadly, I didn't do a morning workout, but that is okay, I will challenge that tomorrow. For lunch, I had a sub sandwich from subway and two peanut butter cookies (okay cookies shouldn't have been included..lol) and a glass of water. I pulled in a little studying after lunch, I am working on these word problems. I have to pass my math test so that I can get in school. That is one of my struggles and I need to get through this. So I am determined to fight this and with the help of God all things are possible.  I took my walk today with my brother, who is my walking buddy. I enjoy walking with him, because he motivates me. Tomorrow, I plan on walking a little longer, because after today's walk. I found myself not as tired as the other two days.For dinner, I had 2 small beef patties grilled (on the foreman grill, yes I love that grill..lol) with corn and carrots left over from the other day and I had a glass of kool aid, which I am gonna avoid next time. If I have to rate my eating today, I don't know what to say, but I am praying that once I go back and weigh myself on next Tuesday I will have lost some pounds.

My goals for tomorrow is to include more water. I am really not a big liquid drinker, but I need to do water of all things. Add more fruit, and some green veggies. Morning exercises, I think I might add some sit ups or something. Walk for a longer time. I plan to stay even more in tune in the presence of God. I am helping with the preteen girls on a trip tomorrow. I haven't been around that age group much, so I am excited to see how God will use me on this trip. I will also get some exercises in with them. Looking forward to seeing what God has in store for me tomorrow.

Day Two

What a beautiful morning I feel the present of the Lord all around. I figured I would post what day 2 was like, beginning that I failed to yesterday.

Day 2

Well, I actually got up and I fixed me some cereal for breakfast and it was only like a cup full. I then rested a little and I went right to the spending my time with God. I am reading in this book of Job. Job went through a lot and I am going through somethings as well and what better way to recover from a matter, than to hear what another went through and how they overcame. Although, his struggles were far greater than mine. I know that if God pulled him through, he will do the same for me. I then for lunch had the left over carrots, yellow rice and small pieces of chicken breast along with a glass of water. The portions were small. Instead of walking in the a.m. I walked at six. I also must confess that I had a bag of Cheetos's (not suppose to have happened..lol), but I pressed on. Dinner I had a cup of corn and more carrots(still gotta get the fruit in and leave the carrots alone) and I had a grilled piece of pork chop, which I put on the Foreman Grill and I drunk a glass of sprite. That filled me up alone and no snacks after, I must say that I did well. I am gonna include fruits and more water for the rest of the week. Thank God for getting me through yet another day.

A New Plan

  I decided to do something different with my life. It seems as if I reached a hard time, that a lot of people will go through in life and instead of having pity or allowing depression, to sink in on me. I have decided to fight all of that before it even attempts to hit me. I am  starting a new schedule for myself, since I have nothing but free time on my hand.

  I am focusing on my life with God, I am a Christian so I have to represent God. That has really slacked and I know that it is the reason why I am having such a hard time in life now. For me, and I can't speak for anyone else, but for me not having God's word in me daily is like a drug to me and I need it, if I don't stay in tune in his word, then I can't function and rehab want help. I am getting on board and staying in tune on his word like I should. I want a better life and without God, that is totally impossible.
I am focusing more on my weight, and yes I am serious this time, I am almost thirty-one and I want to get this weight out before I get older. Not to mention carrying extra weight has gotten me to the point to where I don't want to do anything. I hate the feeling and the lack of energy, I am not proud of, my body is a temple of God. I can't do all that he requires for me to do, if I keep destroying my body.
 While I tackle these task, I am gonna stay prayed up, because I know that I need my helper to make it through these trying times. The word of God says that I can do all things through Christ that gives me strength.  There is no excuse for me  not be able to tackle all that I desire. I am putting it all in Gods hands and I am gonna let him go ahead of me. I don't care to have my photos taken, but I think for this journey and as I shed the pounds I will post some images, if I don't chicken out. Here is what day one and two was like.


Day1

I started off slow, but I am somewhat proud of myself. I am telling myself, that If I slip off, just to keep going. I woke at the time I wanted to. I ate breakfast which I thought was a little unhealthy, but not to bad. I had two boiled eggs, two small pieces of sausage and a glass of water. It was good, but I need to make it more healthier than that..lol. I did a few strecthes shortly after and took a walk, but not to long of a walk, I started out slow so I only did a twenty minute walk. (Remember I am totally out of shape, so I am not gonna try and climb a mountain on my start out day..lol) this walk really proved to me, that I need to keep it up. I have decided that each week I will walk longer than normal distance.
For lunch I had a balona sandwich and a glass of water. Not much I know, but hey I didn't even put the mayo on the sandwich. Some hours after that I went walking again for the same amount of time and then later for dinner, I put two small chicken thighs on the Foreman Grill. I had a small amount of yellow rice and I had some steamed carrots and a glass of sprite. I thought this wasn't to bad, but results will only tell..lol. Later I had a popcorn for a snack, which had light butter on it. I think my day of eating was good for me, compared to how it usually would have been, trust me..lol. The only thing I didn't commit much to was reading the word of God like I planned. I will have to cut out something, so that is hindering me form that time. This was the first day and I don't think it was to bad.
