Job *WELL DONE* for Margie B in the loss of her 5 lbs. & Jackay in losing 19 lbs. and Virginia in getting in her walk of 1.5 miles & Christy too!!!
You *ALL* are doing so well!!!!!
Jackay, Love the pictures!!!!!!!!!! You look as adorable as your children!!!!!!! As I said... you are doing an awesome job. Keep up the great work! It isn't easy, Lord knows... but we all can do it if we keep taking the moments as they come to us. We must remember that the devil likes to trip us up --- just as he see's we feel Joy in our accomplishments. Often I mutter to him this verse when he whispers in my ear in the moment of temptation... "The next time YOU try to remind me of my past... I will remind YOU of YOUR future!" taken from Rev. 20:10 He loves throwing in Guilt, Sadness, Desperation (all neg. words!)... to trip us up!! Ever notice that you will get so far in your weight-loss venture and then feel defeated when it doesn't turn out just as YOU think it should or go fast enough for you (I've been there lots of times!)... well, that is the devil sticking his foot out in whispers to trip us up. We must fight this fight each and every day, never giving up --- and as we become stronger, so does he (the devil), he does not want us to win this battle --- so it's all the more important for us to stay *close to the Lord in Prayer*! So that we are protected with *His armor* when those whispers come. I find so much strength each day in *Prayer* & coming here and sharing with all of you and seeing that *I AM NOT ALONE* in my feelings and my battles. We *ALL* can beat this RIGHT!
And that takes me to you Margie... You sure do keep me inspired to keep on going each day!! Always just one step in front I haven't walked yet today, it has been raining like crazy here. Is it raining there yet? We are suppose to have rain & cooler temps here for the next few days... that's okay... it is Spring after all Speaking of Spring! I have been sneezing like crazy!!! The pollen must be very high. The rain will help that allot Keep up the wonderful job girl!!! You too are an inspiration for me as well It's great to be able to come to a place and be inspired by one another, isn't it
By-the-way... when I read your post to Christy and you told her to "jiggle" her weight off I couldn't not help the visual I got Did you meant to say JIGGLE or JUGGLE I laughed so hard!!! Thanks!!!
Hi MKay, my goodness gracious!!! He really had a bad injury !! How's he dealing with it all? Is he hard to live with because of the frustration? I only ask, because whenever Joe gets sick or has an injury that takes a long time to heal... he can be a bear because he wants it all better yesterday! I noticed that as he gets older he is less patient with himself and others I hope that you are doing okay through all this. It's hard on both when one or the other is suffering.
Your Nikki sounds beautiful! Has she really grown? They grow leaps and bounds in that first year! Any pictures???
Hi Rachel, I too use to go to Curves, but I had to quit because my heath, at that time, was so poor. I have a question for you about your headache... have you just begun getting your headaches after doing Curves? If so... remember to keep you head BACK ON THE HEADREST of the machines that have high backs on them... that's when I was getting my headaches, using the wrong muscles in the back of my head and into my shoulders (because I held my head up instead of resting it back). Be careful and don't be afraid of asking questions there... although, I get the feeling that you are not afraid to speak up Feel better! Maybe try 15 min of heat to relax the muscles in your shoulders and then ice to take down that headache pain.
I wondered about your sig phrase too It baffled me and sounded mean I am glad that Gary asked you about it. I even called my hubby in to read it and help me try and figure out what you meant by it...
MNewton/ Myisha... it's so good to hear from you! And to know your name Beautiful name... what nationality is it, if I may ask? How wonderful your trip sounded My Joe envied you talking about all that seafood... he loves it! How are you feeling? How's your baby girl doing today?? What did the Dr. have to say?
Hey there Wilma, I am so glad to hear that you and your DF are trying to work things out... it's a stress that you really don't need right now.
How is your kitchen coming along??? Haven't heard much about it lately I am very curious and look forward to some pics
Christy, in getting in your 2 miles IN THE DARK! Hope you are careful! Good for you!
Hey there Big Guy... thank-you so much for your support! Yes, my Joe is very proud of me and tells me so each morning when I get up at 5am to go out walking. He always say's how much he admires me, because he struggles in just getting out of bed these days. But to be honest with you and fair to him... he works so very hard! And then comes home and has to go out again for church meetings or practices most every night. So he does his 20 min. of stretching time to keep his back healthy and not much more. Although, he did go out for a brief walk/run the other day And then he came back to pat me on the back because the hill's I walk are tough! He had forgotten till he went out and had to climb them too Allot easier to take in a vehicle So I may be chubby, but I'm strong!
Sprout??????????????? Are you reading and feeling overwhelmed with all the people? Don't worry... just pop in and tell us if you are okay and how life is treating you, okay. We miss you!!!!
Hi Sherry, I am so very sorry to hear that you hurt your knee!!!!! Ouch !! I sure do hope that it feels much better as the day goes on today. It always hurts worse that first night *Prayers* for you that it heals quickly and fully!
I am so pleased to hear that your prayers were answered with being able to keep up with your bills --- I know how scary that can be I really do hope that you will have the BESTEST NEWS at your WI tomorrow!!!! But if you don't --- hang n there, okay. Don't let the devil trip you up
HI MICHELE! It's good to see you back... how are you feeling!? I think Gary was asking about *TOM*... you mentioned it was due soon in your last post
And that takes me to you Margie... You sure do keep me inspired to keep on going each day!! Always just one step in front I haven't walked yet today, it has been raining like crazy here.
