Happy Healthy Me

My back is a bit better however the pain has moved to my hip and groin area so no exercise yesterday and today. Yesterday was lots of rest and sleep and today I will try to do much of the same.

My change in weigh in day was a hit today as I am down 3 lbs from Tuesday of course not wanting to eat much due to my back and hip ache. I think I will love having a new weigh in day - might even still check in with the scale on Tuesdays just for good measure.

The weekend is upon us and I had alot I wanted to do like paint the trim on the back of the house, sand and paint the back door and start on my table I am making for the deck but all this depends on how I feel. The things I am certain about doing is errands today, meeting hubby for sushi for lunch, dinner tonight at cracker barel with the grandparents, tomorrow evening we plan on going to see couples retreat at the movies and then Sunday we will go to church to give thanks in Gods house.

So what are your plans for the weekend???? Whatever they may be I hope you have a blessed weekend!!!

“look for lighter/healthier options to your favorite foods”

I weighed in this morning and I am down 1.4 from last weeks # - God is good!

I have decided to change my weigh in day again so I will be weighing in on Fridays. Change is good right? 

consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing  of your faith develops perserverance-James 1:2-3

“you can’t do things the old way and expect new results”

My new favorite, gotta have it thing. This stuff is off the chain!!!!! I eat it in my cereal, oatmel, on a turkey sandwich or on my waffles.

I’m thinkin maybe me and hubby will try and make our own - seems easy enough and we have all the ingredients so I will keep you posted on that project.

I weighed in this morning just like I do every Tuesday morning and I noticed I am teetering toward the 200 mark and while standing there on that scale the Lord spoke to me “I am a God of many chances, I have kept you under 200 and now it is up to you to do your part to stay that way, remember you are not alone, we will do this together” I thanked Him for my number on the scale and stepped off with a great thankfulness and positive attitude toward the day.

Today is my manmas (grandmother) 73rd birthday and this evening some of the girls of the family are taking her to dinner - her choice and I think she is gonna chose Olive Garden so I gotta be good.

Didn’t get in my workout after work as I had another one of those headaches again except for this time it made me dizzy and lightheaded - I still was gonna give it a try but hubby said no and that I could hurt myself worse.

2day looks like this:

• 2 whole grain waffles with sliced banana and sugar free syrup, 1 cup of coffee and big glass of ice water
• kellogs nutri grain bar and 7 almonds
• lean cuisine & clementine
• granola bar

Of course I gotta get in my water!!!

Is exactly what I am doing. I am losing weight to win a happier, healthier me.

I had a very successful weigh in this morning - glory to God! Which means I lost the weight I showed up from the past two weeks weigh ins.

Without his strength (I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me) and guidance (for my footsteps are ordered by the Lord) I would not have been so successful.

Like the verse says He is our help and our shield - to me that means I will not do this alone He will be there every step of the way, through all my healthy eating and exercising days and my bad eating and non exercising days and He will shield (keep) me from what is not good or what does not give Him glory.

PSALM 33:20 OUR SOUL WAITETH FOR THE LORD: HE IS OUR HELP AND OUR SHIELD

My hubby calls Tuesdays which is our weigh day “tell all day”  because he says ” the scale will tell all of what you have done over the week”.

In todays case it tells that I am up 2lbs from last weeks 4lbs up. I tells that on Friday I went on an all out binge of cookies and ice cream. It tells that on yesturday my birthday I did a bit to much celebrating by eating nothing but junk all day.

So yes I guess you can say today is tell all day!

Back from vacation (will write more later) and after an unwanted visit from my not so loving aunt flo I mustered up enough strength thanks to the Lord to step on the scale and realize I didn’t do half bad - up 4lbs. I so thought it would be worse.

God is enough for every thing that comes my way

Even after going home with a sick gutt wrenching feeling in my tummy and eating 1/2 a pack of cookies and a glass of milk God still blessed me on the scale this morning - I am down 1.6.

As far as those cookies I ate I better get to work or they will show up on next Tuesdays weigh in.
