Its FRIDAY!! Celebrate your successes without regressing. You deserve an ATTA GIRL or ATTA BOY!! You did it. You went through a whole week, ups and downs and all...and you didn't give UP! I'm proud of you I hope you are proud of yourself. Give THANKS!!
Congratulations Time:
To my Big Bro. Patrick M. - DOWN 5 (YEAH FIVE) POUNDS!!! What's good witcha!!! That's what's up!! I'm proud of you. Stay away from PJs pizza snacks and you'll be ALL GOOD - lol! Congratulations!
To Priscilla W. - Down 10lbs in one month - even with your Valentines' cheats:) You got right back on track and you are doing the DERN THANG!! You go girl! I'm proud of you.
To Judy B. - Way to PLAN...I saw your lunch tote with all your healthy meals prepared. I'm proud of you! Now git rid of that last box of Girl Scout cookies (throw them away, don't eat them!) - you know they are of the DEVIL! PURGE...the 3rd P. You got this girl!
Scripture: Ps 119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
You have authority over your own body. With your 'PLAN' and 'PRAYER' you are covered. But you have to do it - PLAN AND PRAY. I believe in you. Now believe in yourself!
Prayer: Lord, go before us in our day today and through the weekend. We need you to be our rear-guard. Send your angels and have then encamp about us over this weekend so that we are protected. Protect our minds, our eyes and guard our hearts. Remind us that everything that 'feels' or 'tastes' good is not 'good' for us and is counter-productive for our goals. Strengthen us where we are weak and help us to encourage ourselves.
In Jesus Name.
Amen!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND...SEND ME LOT OF GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND WE'LL SEE YOU MONDAY!!!

That which I should do I do not
Junk Food - The drug of choice
Romans 7: 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
We face a tremendous amount of difficulty as we attempt to overcome our addictions and reliance on foods. Not only do many of us have an unhealthy emotional relationship with food we are also chemically addicted to it! I am not giving out excuses to fail or give up, quite the opposite, I believe, as many of the '_________anon's' teach that the first step to overcoming the addiction is accepting the TRUTH.
I have heard the gamit from, 'its just my sweet toof' (u kno the 1 'toof' left cuz u ain't brushed between eatin' all them sweets!) (lol) and 'I just like the way food tastes'. Well, we are supposed to enjoy food, just like we are supposed to enjoy sex (another one of those lovely little benefits to being human that God gave us) BUT (and its a big but) we are supposed to enjoy them as God intended. We should not use food as a replacement for God's love, self-love, or another's love. Food is not intended to combat boredom, emptiness or lonliness. Food's job is to provide fuel for the body, an awesome creation, that has the ability to HEAL itself! Problem is the fuel we use is often not the fuel we need. Let me give you an example. You decide one day, you so do not like the smell of gasoline, you are going to use olive oil to fuel your car. I don't care how much olive oil you use to fuel your car...its NOT going to move! You could spend your whole day polishing and waxing and washing that car with a full tank of olive oil and its not moving. Sounds like a silly notion, I mean who's crazy enough to put a full tank of olive oil in their car and expect to be able to drive it? Who's crazy enough to put (Chips, candy, pie, cheese,soda,butter,cake,ice cream)o I'm sorry, I went off on a tangent because I just started thinking about how many times I 'fuel' my body with the wrong things and not just fuel it with the wrong things I also avoid the right things sometimes because I don't 'LIKE' them. Our bodies need-require a wide variety of proteins, carbs, fruits and vegetables in proper combinations. We can't just keep giving our bodies the fuel and wonder why its broke down and busted.
Just do it!
Congratulations Time:
Tracy - You have done the dern thang!! You have gone from a size 24 on down to a 14!!! That's what to do! I am so proud of you girl. Stand proud!

There's no hocus pocus...just fix your focus!
Rom14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. 19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
So often we stumble an fall because we are not paying attention. Or we are paying attention to the wrong thing. When I focus on the things I'm 'missing' like sugary treats or cheese, I fixate usually until I give over to them. But when I fix my thoughts on my goals: gettiing to a size 5/6, finishing a triathalon,living a long propsperous life, sharing the gospel, writing God's word on my heart,supporting my husband and son to achieve their goals, becoming wealthy enough to be a blessing to many,the list goes on and on...guess what-no time for cake!
Get busy about your righteousness, peace,joy in the Holy Ghost because that's the Kingdom of God!

U want mighty works...get around believers...in God and in YOU
Mtt 13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Its not enough that you believe in yourself or even in God or in Christ. Christ himself was limited by the level of belief people had in Him. That was so revelatory to me. That's how important it is to believe in your husband, wife, friend, child...we hold some of the keys to their success. Likewise take care to choose carefully those you surround yourself with. Avoid naysayers and narrow minded individuals. They actually thwart your success.
I believe bigger than I can see, not just for me but for you. I believe that you are more than conquerors. I believe that you are mighty men and women not only in charge of your own destinies but you hold the key to the prosperity of your families. Many of you are the 'Joseph' of your families. You are the one making provision for your clan. Your success is not optional its mandatory. You are the glue and mortar for those connected to you.
I always say it...its not FOR you!!! Don't you get it? God wants - needs you to succeed so that you can pull some others out of their circumstances!
Congratulations Time:
Miranda R. - 4 inches! in 2 weeks. That's the way to git'er done! Keep reaching higher heights and deeper depths.

Put it on the plate. EAT - hahahahahahahah IT DON'T GET NO EASIER THAN THAT:)
Exchanges:
1 Protein B (when choosing white meat), 1 carb B, 1 Veggie A
Prayer: Lord, I know that I am able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that I can ask or even think according to the power that worketh in me, which is in Christ Jesus. I love you with all my heart, mind, body and soul. I praise your name above all the earth. I worship you with all my heart. I cast my cares and the cares of those I care about on you. I surrender my weaknesses to you for where I am weak, therein am I made strong. I thank you for my limitations for they make me seek you. I thank you for your love and your gentle forgiveness. You are the source of my strength and the strength of my life. In Jesus name, Amen.
Keep walking on water!

Where does your strength come from
Thought for the day: Where does you strength come from? (previously sent 2/12/10)
Ps 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
My personal update: as of 2/11 - I am down more 3 more pounds (since 2/3) AND I have lost a total of 3 inches!! That's in ONE WEEK WITH MY PERIOD (tmi - i KNOW!!) BUT Yeah Me!!
Cutie Judy D. - Congratulations with yo cute sef!! Judy has her shirt TUCKED IN to her jeans today!! Way to celebrate that new figure. You go girl. I'm proud of you. Keep going!!
Pam D. - You better PLAN chick! So happy you called me from the store yesterday. Staying on task and planning your meals are why you are SHEDDING that weight - Slim!
You will notice focus was not on WEIGHT today. Its on how you 'FEEL'. This video speaks VOLUMES about what I have been trying to say to everyone about this journey in wellness. Its a JOURNEY! Not a TRIP! You are not gonna get there in a couple days and be done with it. We are reconditioning our bodies to operate to their fullest capacity!
Don't get bogged down in pounds as your only 'results, results, results'. Yes, we want weight loss results, but also long term results. The pounds dropping off is the jumpstart and the inspiration we need to be and stay motivated but everyone loses weight differently. Some of us lose fat first, others gain muscle (which is heavier than fat - but burns fat), others retain more water and so on.
Don't be a slave to the #'s. How do you 'feel'? How do your clothes feel? Do you have more energy? Those are better indicators of your progress. Check out this video, he is informative and entertaining: (a little young - but still cute - LOL)
Meantime....Keep walking on water!
