This is the first holiday I have quickly wanted to get back on track. Christmas I ate whatever I wanted but I am already back on track and it feels so so good.
However my spiritual life is slipping again and I could blame the hustle & bustle of the holidays but that's an awful excuse! Here is a great devotional I absolutely HAD to share! A great new years resolution~ to allow God to stay in control

12/19 weigh in results
Well, I'm up 1/2 lb. I'm not going to lie it is super frustrating and very hard NOT to say "screw it" I'm over this weight loss crap! Trust me I've done it over & over! I've been at this for over a month and I'm really working hard and when I don't see results it's so hard not to feel defeated!
HOWEVER I am pushing through and I'm not letting my emotions over rule!! Nope! Not happening!! I need to look at the great things I've accomplished....... I lost 6.5 lbs during the holidays! Ummmm that's exciting & a HUGE accomplishment!
Now I need to just put my chin up & work harder! I'm only exercising 3-4 times a week and I need to ask myself am I truly truly working to my potential? Also, I need to cut the sugar/carbs in the evening and that means alcohol!!! Water water water I need to drink more water!!
I can do this I know I can!!!
(plus I have a wedding coming up in 2012 or 2013 so unless I want to look like a blimp AGAIN........)

DOWN 2 LBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so excited because I am 2 lbs away from this weight range!! (do a little dance~ woot woot) So my total loss so far is 6.5! Could it be more? YES! HOWEVER I know where I need to clean up the food act and up the exercise!!
I got this!! I am SO excited!
One negative is last week I could feel myself drifting from God. I didn't get up early enough to do my morning devotions and I wasn't praying as much.
But I know what to do & I'm going to do it!!
My goal~ to lose a total of 15 by New Years! I know I know it's a big goal but you know what?!?? I gotta achieve BIG because I got it in me! No more slacking! Time to work for those things I want in life!

BACON
Well tonight a bunch of us coworkers are visiting a restaurant that is zany & serves Bacon!! I'm excited but scared because the portions are HUGE and I have been doing so so well.
It's rumored that the waitors will beat you with a pot stick if you don't finish everything on your plate! (yikes)
I need to stay strong & on my game! This is my cheat day & I'm going to enjoy it and tomorrow I will get back into the groove!
I got this!! I Can DO IT!!!

weigh in results- 12/5/11
I am up .5 lbs. I could feel myself getting frustrated when I hopped on the scale and just really down but then I didn't want my emotions to get the best of me! Not on a Monday and especially not "monthly" week. I did really really well "the week before monthly". I didn't eat everything in sight at all I should be proud! I upped my exercise-weights especially so I gotta consider muscle weighs more than fat AND I cleaned the basement leaving me soar soar soar so I didn't do a lot the next day.
I believe I will see a comeback this week for sure!!
Gotta think positive!!!
Oh but I did lose 1 inch from my waist and 1 from my thighs!! WOOT WOOT!!!

Inner Peace
For so long I have been searching for that inner joy & peace I once had. I use to smile ALL the time and my customer's would ask me why...... I lost that but I'm so excited with this new journey because I really feel like God is re-teaching me and helping me get on that right path again!!
You see, my friends, I stopped seeking God. I stopped living a righteous life and this is how I know I have:
Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
I have heard this verse over and over and I have sung this verse over and over especially in Sunday School but today it truly has shed new light for me. To be happy & content with life we need to live a peaceful life and know who we are in Christ. So how do we do that?
Luke 17:21
1. Ask God to come into your heart
If you have accepted Jesus into your heart to live the "kingdom" is in you, my friend. The kingdom of God is living in you and He wants you to live in a peaceful house.

Romans 14:17
Amplified Bible (AMP)
17[After all] the kingdom of God is not a matter of [getting the] food and drink [one likes], but instead it is righteousness (that state which makes a person acceptable to God) and [heart] peace and joy in the Holy Spirit
2. Live a righteous life pleasing to God
The definition of righteous is 'acting in an upright, moral way'. Stop chasing after worldly things! Stop trying to fit in because you were born to stand out!!
~When you seek God He will give you peace~

If you figure out who you are in Christ & start walking in righteousness you will stop caring what others think because all that will matter to you is doing your best for God.

12/2/11
Things are happening because I chose to eat this instead of left over lasagna. (Fish & veggies) The other evening I had no energy to exercise but I HAD to I just did and I was going to take an energy supplement that I've taken in the past. Bodybuilders use it to push themselves even further & it works as far as energy goes. Well I had it in my hand and I can't explain it but I felt this still quiet voice tell me to put it down that He will provide me the strength & energy to get through my workout. It was the coolest thing because right then I knew that it was God telling me to give HIM full control! And guess what?!? I got through that workout without the supplement and it was just an AWESOME experience!!
Psalm 89:1
1 I will sing of the Lord’s unfailing love forever!Young and old will hear of your faithfulness
