Again it is Saturday ! A day of taking care of my business (TCB) and enjoying life. That I did, the Lord enabled me to take care of some serious business, and also enjoy the birthday party of my lil cousin DaDa who is 6 years old. He enjoyed himself with all his lil cousins and family. We have a family of young children which is wonderful, to carry on the family and to give us joy. It was a pleasure to see them playing, running and dancing in the bowling alley. Bowling party, Yes it was fun. Even lil Jayden bowled, yeah right ! But he tried, and he did dance. He really can dance, he broke it down, way down. Funny ! He loves the beat in music. I saw family I hadn't seen in awhile. We have a after party at 7:00 at ChuckE Cheese, yes ChuckE Cheese again. Yes we went last Saturday, it was so much fun we are doing Part II. Tree enjoys parties and so she planned her grandson 2 parties in one day.
I took care of business, I had to find another car, the other one was a loser. Big time loser, I didn't talk about it in my blog because I didn't want to address it until it was over. Sometimes I can't talk or express when I am going through a storm. I want to give God the praise for allowing me to keep my cool, stay focused and move on. My family and friends transported me around for a few weeks until I could get through. I knew God was always with me, I was listening quietly to God, so that I could learn the lesson in all of this. I realized it when I was walking out the door this morning to look for a car. I was not grateful for the car he hadn't blessed me with awhile ago and not taken care of business. This time I am more grateful and humble and don't take driving and having a car for granted. At night I would pray that I had transportation to and from work, and He yes God worked it out that I made it everyday that I needed to go. I posted a sign in my room that said "God is our provider", I believe it. For many, many years I realized on my mom to be my provider and to be my back bone, now it is me and God. Yes me and God, I am the leader of my household and I am taking responsibility for this role. My mother was a perfect example of a woman who took care of business. If you knew her you knew she handled business first and did not burn bridges. She was an excellent example for me.
Tomorrow I have to finish up my car business so that I can get to work. I am remembering that God is my provider. I will do as God leads.
Oh yeah my health and fitness is coming along very well, I am drinking 8 to 12 glasses of water per day. Yes, ME ! And rather enjoying it, straight water with fresh lemon, it is working ok. I am eating very well, even today while others indulged in the good taste of Pizza I had salad and water. It was cool ! The Pizza didn't look that good :) I am down about 5 lbs since last week, God is giving me the power to exercise 2 to 3 times per week and to eat healthy on a daily basis. I want to feel healthier and I need to look good in September for my friend's wedding. I need to do this for me. I will be going to get fitted in a few weeks with my another bridesmaid and select a dress. We are wearing short sleeves so I am working my arms muscles in the evening. Lord Help Me ! God can do anything ! I am doing my part ! I chose not to do the bariatric surgery because I want to be able to firm up as best I can. The surgery would have left me with extra skin and I cannot finance plastic surgery. I did plenty of research on You Tube and with those I know that have had the surgery and there is extras skin especially on the tummy that would require a tummy tuck. If I don't have a tummy tuck the skin on the tummy would require me to go up another size, just because of the skin. I figure if I work out, I can tone as I go. Another con was that I would still have to exercise to keep it off. Ohh No ! If I do all that I don't want to ever have to exercise again. So I might as well do it myself. This is my story, and my decision for me. Lastly I don't need medical side effects; I don't want to jeopardize my health.
Until I blog again !
