I Failed I Failed I Failed!

Well.... So Yesterday (my first day of doing my diet) went really well. It was my fruit day! And the cabbage soup was so yummy! I was not regretting it one bit.... Then I went to sleep and woke back up, *Sigh* I realized that this week is Reality Week and there is going to be a lot of outreach and working for miscellaneous things around town, and it will be hard enough for me to eat in general than it would be to eat per plan! *Sigh* so I caved!!!! So long Cabbage soup diet! I give up, however, I am going to try to stay off of sweets, coffee, and soda (I type this with caffeine withdrawals as it is!) for the rest of the week. So we shall see how THAT goes! To all those who think I am a slacker.... well I guess I am in a way, but I worked out last night, and then played tennis for almost 2 hours and then worked out again tonight... So I am going to follow my Mom's diet advice, stay away from soda/coffee (won't be consistent in that... I'll want it at LEAST once a week), eat less, and move more! There was something else she said, but it momentarily slipped. I think those are senior moments and I don't know if I am supposed to be having those yet! LOL! Well... I will let you know how goes it!


**** OH!!! BTW I lost 6 pounds.... probably all water weight lol but 6 pounds is 6 pounds! I'll try to keep it off and lose more as I go!****

No, you are NOT a failure. You lost 6 lbs, so that makes you a winner!!! Besides I've been on that diet....several times. And you lose weight fast but also gain it back fast. So your Mom is right. Even just laying off pop & watching what you eat....you'll be fine. And if you drink coffee black w/sweetener, you'll can have that. My hat's off to you as I have no dicipline when it comes to good food sitting in front of me. So, you go girl. Love your pic too. You rock!!!

Yay! 6 pounds is still impressive chica. All that exercise you are doing is bound to help you shed the pounds quickly. I have given up finding a racquetball partner...I am just going to play alone with my iPod. =0)

What Day is it???

One of the reasons I HAD to write a new post was because if you would scroll down JUST a bit, there are 45+ comments on the last post!!! LOL so I figured why not write a new post and allow a more easily accessible comment view... Cuz you know my fingers were just getting so tired of scrolling all the way down to the bottom to see the newest comment! ridiculous!!! Anyway, have you ever woke up and wondered what am I doing up???? Who am I, where am I??? WHY??? Lol, well if you haven't one day you may. Today I woke up wondering why I couldn't see, and where I was and wanting to go back to bed. Lol "alas" (that was for Bekki) I found out the reason why. I had forgotten to take my contacts out last night (stupid right? But it does happen to the best of us) and they had decided during the night that they did NOT like my eyes. So I tried to rewet them and put them back into my eyes. But nooooo.... My right eye took it just fine, my left eye threw a fit. So here I was with a ...

Hallelujah From the Valley

-
A few months ago, a young lady from my school introduced the song below during chapel to the student body. If anyone has a right to sing these words, she does. As this young lady recently lost her mother in a long struggle with cancer. Loss is something none of us take well. No matter what it may be. Some losses seem small to others, but to the person who has lost, it is larger than life. Whether it be the loss of a parent, a sibling, any family member, a friend, a pet, a pastor, a job, a house the list goes on. We try to rationalize the situation... But, sadly, our finite minds cannot comprehend the reason the Lord decided to allow this pain into our lives. Many blame God for so many different reasons, but God knows how much you can bear, and how far He will allow. Job was tortured, torn, accused, cursed at, heartbroken, and yet he still uttered those words that we can't even begin to think in hard times "The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the ...

Yet ANOTHER Eventful Weekend

Ok, so Friday was not so eventful. Other than everyone in the house was up around eightish...ish...ish. Lol. And then started cleaning.... and cleaned.. and packed and cleaned and packed. That was pretty much all we did all the way up until 10 something that night! (well... with a few breaks here and there). Then Saturday, we got up to the smell of my mom cooking and baking. I told Nicole it smelled like Thanksgiving in my house! We ended up having some close family friends over, the Jones family, the Sablan family, the Davis family and the Lee Jr family (lol Tiffany Randy and babies). The food was wonderful and the fellowship marvelous! Lol when Tiff got there I stole her newest addition, Ryan, he is SUCH a doll! And then took Baby Randy for awhile. It was so funny watching him crawl all over the place, and then go up to the dogs and get scared and try to get away as fast as he could! It was fun! Well they were all gone by about 5:30, and Bekki had told me that we wanted to meet at...
