Good Friday

Well I hope your Friday was a good Friday, but I also hope you know this is a day where we remember that God’s Son Jesus Died for our sins. I encourage you to pray and seek salvation through Jesus Christ. He is the only way to Heaven, otherwise you are making a choice not to believe He died for you and therefore choosing the ‘other place’ and “that other person”. It is your choice!

With that, I wanted to show you some photos of me and the kids (my husband took). We got out today. It was after lunch or so I was getting a headache. I am sure withdrawals of some kind and needed to lie down or get out and I chose to get out! Victory!

This is us and the ‘carpets’ that are made from flowers, pine needles, colored saw dust, fruits, veggies, and more! They are so artistic and it’s wild they only last about an hour. Soon, the float comes by and those carrying it walk on them.

I will say it was great to get out and I struggled tonight wanting some sweets! UGH!!!

Ready to Reboot!

Here I am. And I am ready - mentally and emotionally! Ready to reboot my system - or in my Macintosh days, my favorite terminology “zap my P-Ram”! heehee anyway, you’re probably wondering what am I talking about? I am ready to get back to Eating Right and Exercise. This is what the doctors always tell us to do, but when they tell us to do it… it’s sooo not-fun to do! When it’s a personal, self-motivated choice, I believe the success is more possible and long term.

I did this before (ate right and exercised) and was in a season where it was more work and got off-the-wagon for sure (i had two kids), but now I am ready again! YEAH! So today, I am fasting. I am fasting for my health. I do this every time I’ve changed they way I eat. And I’ve done them all (low calorie, low fat, low salt, low carb, etc). They have all had their individual successful results. I have one I am passionate about - because i know it works for my Body, my Life, my Health and it’s more realistic to maintain.

Why now? Why? Well I had told myself since giving birth in Feb 2007, that I would not go crazy on myself about weight loss until he was one year. Well that time has come and passed. I was kinda ready and the best thing is I am more ‘hungry’ for more activity in my life! Walking or taking the kids to the park etc! So this has helped motivate me. Then, I guess after a few days of eating myself happy - My anniversary and such - I was like … ok that was a fun ride, now lets get back to business!

So the photo was one my hubby took yesterday and thoguht I would post it publically. No I don’t think I look bad, but I know I don’t look too healthy either. Don’t get me wrong, I so feel like a BBW and love my curves. I am just ready to eat better for my life’s sake. I may not (and dont want to) be a size 6, but I do want to be more healthy inside - my heart! With PCOS and a family history of health probs, I want to eliminate or postpone them if possible.

Join me if you want, to eating better - whatever your diet or activity change choice may be! I have a friend who is also making this decision and is doing it in a different way, but we’re doing it for the same reasons and want the same results. For our Health, for our lives!

Lemons, to have or not, in Restaurants?

Very interesting… I wonder where (what city) this is, I’ll stay away from there. YUK! heehee I am sure it’s similar around the country (world). Hmm, but aren’t lemons a disinfectant?
