My Weight

 

Today I went to Weight Watchers and found my challenge.

I woke up this morning, took my vitamins, ate a slimfast bar and had some water to accompany it. Went to the meeting and found out that I had forgotten to get the registration when I signed up on line. Tried to get the registration number on my fancy new blackberry pearl that I have to pay extra for internet but have never used and I couldnt do it.

Found out how to count the points with my new calculator and then left and went to get a double cheeseburger, small fries and large sweet tea.

After that I ate a salad with cucumbers, one egg, and 3oz of chicken strips. Only two tablespoons of dressing and a small bowl of fruit. I had an apple and then another small piece of chicken breast. That truly was all that I have eaten today. I will travel this journey with my diary. I exercised today and will do so each and every day. This will also be my food journal. I have to make a sincere and truthful effort to record my food every day. I will lose weight and I will be successful. I have never joined any type of weight loss club before so this will be a first. I have heard of so many good successes with weight watchers that I am sure I will be successful. I went and brought lots of fruits and veggies. Wait til the summer, there will be a new me and I will be a lot smaller, back to where I was in 2000. I have to take time for me. I have to get ready for tomorrow. I'm reading tomorrow. I have a final to finish for class on Wednesday and I have two more days of testing with my children, I have to plan for the down time. I think I am going to take a professinal development during the summer for three weeks. I need some time away. I havent finished the application but I am seriously considering it. This next week cant go quick enough. Then we have spring break. I cant wait for that week to come. I am excited about this week to come to a close.

Bill Foster won. Yeah.

Maybe this is a sign of things to come. I pray that it will do something good for the people.

Be Blessed tonight. Be a blessing. Set your clock ahead. Spring ahead, fall back.

Good Morning

Good Morning

Thank You for a nice evening.

I did manage to get a ticket.

I have to get ready for my Weight Watchers meeting.

This is my first Saturday. I pray that it will be most effective and that I can stay true.

I'm excited about joining and I look forward to further advances in taking care of my health.

Be blessed and be a blessing today.

The Race

Its interesting that now Hill is commenting that she would share the ticket with Barack. Only she wants the top spot. Would she still share it if he is the top spot? Would Barack

The problem now is that disgruntled Republicans who cant see their vote counting in the primary now want to vote democratic and vote for either Hill or Barack. Most are voting for Hill because Barack is a very formidable candidate. Then there are the independents who will throw their hat in the race at the last minute to further tear down the democratic side. Dems need to look more unified and less divided. If this doesnt happen then our overconfidence will result in the Republicans stealing another election. God forbid we have another four years. I pray that that doesnt happen.

I'm tired. good night.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord

Thank You for today. Thank You for waking me up this morning.

Keep me safe and under your umbrella of protectection.

Keep me focused and on task.

Lord help my students to remember the right answers on their exams this week and next week. Give them peace of mind.  Let whatever gang wars that are going on in the community stop. There should not be shooting in the morning when children or anyone for that matter is on their way to school or work.Keep us safe in our living and working community.

That's why we need a president who is concerned about what is going on in the urban city. There is so much that has to happen before the final nomination in the summer. Before that happens there's going to be a lot of mudslinging. Obama has got to show he is tough. He has yet to win any big state. Hill goes in and touches their heart with fear and those folks just fall over. She is working on the fear factor. Barack must come across as more confident and assertive. He has got to get his swagger going on. I'll pray for swagger and more confidence for him. I believe this battle is going to be won behind closed doors. The people ar divided and that probably won't change. Let pray for a big turnaround.

Good day today. Have a wonderful day, stay in the presence of God.

Get Involved

I'm feeling what you're saying. You are concerned that I am feeling unloved and neglected and you want to change that.  You suggest that I be patient because the best is yet to come. Find a hobby, find a cause to work for, get involved in ministery again and let the time just fly by.

OK

I can say that because I know that You are sincere in wanting me to be mentally healthy. You want me to be content and occupied.  I am nurtured and encouraged and supported.

I am walking the walk of courage right there. I have someone who is encouraging me. Praise the Lord. God Knows That Is Important to me. You can do it. I have always been the one encouraging, supporting and uplifting. Not that I will stop but it feels good to know someone thinks you can do, you can make it, you can succeed. Thank You for that., I don't take it for granted. I have very few people in my life that are encouraging to me. I am usually the one doing the encouraging. Thank You. More tomorrow, for tonight I just want to encourage you to stay strong. You are doing a good job. You have what it takes to be an over comer in whatever situation you are faced with.

Be blessed and be a blessing to someone special, as you have been to me. I love you.

I ask in Faith

Dont give up

You are amazing. You keep encouraging me to believe in the journey. You believe I can do this.  I believe you have Godly Wisdom in ths matter.

I ask in faith to keep me from wavering, to fill me with the knowledge of God's will and wisdom and understanding. I will incline my ear and my heart to understanding so that I might receive freely God's wisdom and instruction.

I want to get it right. I want to be successful. My heart and my mind want this. My voice will be heard. I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

Be blessed tonight and be a blessing to someone special.

 

Proverbs 2 Moral Benefits of Wisdom

 1 My son, if you accept my words
       and store up my commands within you,

 2 turning your ear to wisdom
       and applying your heart to understanding,

 3 and if you call out for insight
       and cry aloud for understanding,

 4 and if you look for it as for silver
       and search for it as for hidden treasure,

 5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD
       and find the knowledge of God.

 6 For the LORD gives wisdom,
       and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding

How Much Longer

Dear God

How much longer do I have to wait? Am I waiting in vain?

I'm sorry Lord that I am finding the journey extremely challenging and disheartening. I want more and I am not able to have what I want.

I'm here, I am alive, and I know that I want this to happen now. Now is important. Tomorrow is not promised and I should be actively involved with today.

I know that I love you and don't want to hurt you. I don't want to lose you to foolishness.  I don't want to continue with this not talking, not recognizing and not being together. Help me help myself. I don't want to lose you I want to love you.

I said I would go to a doctor and I did go to a few. I went to the eye and got new contacts, I went to derm and got a new skin cream and a mole over my eye removed, I went to the allergist and got a new prescription for my allergies. But I didn't call the psych doc yet. I plan to do that this week. I will not give up and not be defeated, I know that the journey is hard and long. I don't kid myself about the constant challenge.

What are you kidding your self about? Can we love each other and make this work, tell me that we can. I love you.
