Say Hey Its a Good Day!!

Good morning world!! It's a brand new day with a brand new start!! I'm not here to diet, i'm here to change some old habits in my and turn them into new ones. Not just or me but for my family as well!! I did not wake up in time to do my work out, but I did get up in enough time that I already have breakfast on the stove. In order to work harder at my glutten free life style we are having breakfast rice this morning. Which is perfect because it happens to be my boys favorite!! Want the recipe: Cook some rice add a little milk and some cinnamon and sugar, ofcourse i substutite the sugar with splenda!! Giving me rougly 150 calories for breakfast!!

I know that the Lord has great plans for me and for this weight loss and its time to listen to my God. I know my God is bigger than any sort of food addiction that I may have not its time to put into play that knowledge! Struggles will come but I know He OVERCOMES!! Which is the reason for my title.

Say hey its a good day, even if things don't go my way! Jesus is Lord and I am saved so say hey its a good day!!! :)

Frustrated!!

Everyone keeps asking me how I can have little motivation at this moment when I just lost so much weight. But the truth is I am having a hard time with motivation. I told you guys I would share the good and the bad in this journey and here I am with the bad!!

I have done nothing but eat and eat and eat some more!~! I have also lost my motivation for working out!! You may say how bad can it really be well let me give you an example of my day today as to what I have eatin. Most of it will leave your mouths dropped and it leaves mine doing the same.

Breakfast: Yoplait (Okay off to a good start)
Lunch: 4-6 bites of cakes, BLT and chips
Snack: a few bites of cheeze its and 4 graham crackers with peanut butter (yes 4)
Supper New potatoes and broccoli and cheese, and i tried a frog leg

Okay so it may not sound super duper horrid but here is where I have fault. In the past month I have found that I have what I believe to have an intolerance to glutten. In the time that I took the glutten out of my everyday diet i felt better and was healed of many things that have hurt me for years. As you can see by what I ate nearly everything is filled with glutten. I have a craving for breads and flours, the good stuff!!

Please say a prayer for me that I can remember how good it felt to be 100% glutten free!!!
I pray that I myself will continue to look to Christ for my comfort instead of food!! That is alot of my problem!!

What I plan on working on? Being 100% glutten free and believing in it no matter what everyone else tells me!!

Spring break means big temptations!

Well if theres anything ive learned its that I have yet to fully understand how people resist temptations. Tho I fully did not go back to my old self, i also didn't stay true to my new self. Eating bread and crackers were my big down fall. I had also gotten away from pop but found myself sitting there drinking my diet mt dew!! It is very very hard to stay strong when everyone around you is CONSTANTLY eating. One thing Ive realzed is just how much food has become an important part of our family and everday lives. Everything we do is revolved around food. If we want to spend family time, well that means someone cooks a big meal. If we want to sit down and play games, well someone has to go get the case of cokes and the chips and dip. Isn't it crazy how EVERYTHING revolves around food!!
My prayers is that God will release me from this same mindset and that I will be able to start a new trend for my family and future family!!

Quick Note: Its VaCa Time

Hey Guys!!
This is quick note to let you know where ill be over the next few days!!
BRANSON!! So you may or may not hear from me, it depends on my internet connection!
Update: Past 2 days have not been horrible just not as good as I would like!
I ate pizza tonight, even tho i didn't go over my calories, i still feel blah!!!
My goal: To keep being smart even thru vacation!! Although those turkey legs at the fair may be hard to resist hey no carbs hehe!! Always looking on the bright side of food :)

Here I am!!

SOO, Here I am, along with my water bottle in hand! Well not really because I type best with the use of both my hands, but you get the picture!!
After many plees and even a few people getting on to me. I finally decided i needed this blog. Not just because of the few of you that give me encouragment but to keep myself accountable.
So now for the good news:
I LOST 50 LBS!!!
YAH! It is very very amazing, although I have 50 more to go!! I am currently doing a 25 lbs challenge by my birthday. For those of you that do not know when that is.. SHAME ON YOU.. It's May 30th To be honest I am going to have to get my butt in gear because the last few weeks i have not pushed myself like i am capable of doing. That is partial why this blog is being integrated back into my life.

The latest challenge: Drinking Water!! A couple of weeks ago I got a major UTI and when i figured it out i had not drank a drop of water in 3 to 4 days. Therefore, I gave up the pop for my health! This is not some crazy challenge that I am going to beat myself up over if I happen to have one. My addiction to pop has been a slight increase to something that has come to control me. I even excused my addiction to pop, as it kept me from eating!! This is where I am still learning to be satisfied with one thing and one thing alone. MY SAVIOR!! Only He can satisfy my desires, feelings, and even my habitual motives for eating and drinking the things that i do.

Thank you for joining me on my next journey of stepping into a New me!!!
HERE WE GO AGAIN!!
I promise this time I am here to stay!!

By the way: lesson learned today, HOTDOGS are not a good diet food, LOTS OF CALORIES!!

Realization!

As I was rereading some of my post, I finally figured out whats wrong. I have never taken responsibility for who I have become or what I have turned my body into! I have blamed it on everything else, my emotions, my past, my present! When the truth of the matter is I am in control. I am the one who decides what I am putting into my body! I am the one who decides to workout or not to work out! Yes, i do have some motivation issues but now that I understand and realize that everything is put onto me, it slightly motivates me alittle bit more! I will not hit my thanksgiving goal, but I can continue to hit my big goal: 100 lbs by my birthday, that is still reachable and that is what I am reaching for!! I'd like to lose 5 move pounds by thanksgiving, which is attainable, and then I would like to lose 10 more by christmas and 10 my by my anniversary! If I am able to reach these goals I will be smaller than I was when Cody and I got together this time around! And it will be all down hill from that point.
My focus for today is pay attention to what goes into my body and to learn how to control it.

Going to be honest!

So I am still struggling!! I know what my problem is though, i'm an emotional eater: I eat cuz i am happy, i eat cuz i am sad, i eat cuz I am mad, and I eat cuz i am bored!! I can't stop eating.. I don't know what I am doing this for. Maybe i need to just get my stomach banded or stappled!!
