Weight Loss Journey - God's Sense of Humor– Let me talk today about motivation.  Motivation and staying on course.  Right now I need motivation my workouts are difficult and I am greedy and love food.  Food has been my crutch for everything.  Absolutely everything.  I eat when I am happy, sad, angry, WHATEVER the occasion.  I eat when I am bored.  Life is life and our days will be full of mixed emotions.  I am asking God’s strength to pour into me and push me forward.  This is Day 10, and as I have told you along the way I have strayed here and there but not too bad.  Will God’s word keep me pushing forward, all the scriptures that tell me that he will give me strength, peace and blessings.  Right now the word of God is holding me accountable.  God has placed me in my purpose and has given me what I need to be successful.  I do know that faith with work, doesn’t work !  So I must continue to do my part.  Have these been rough days, yes but I must say they have not been the worse.

 

 

 

 FA (food addicts annoynous) prepared me for this, this journey is an individual process.  FA’s meal plan was so restrictive, no sugar no flour that now I am very in tune with not going to far.  Since FA I do not add sugar to my coffee or anything.  No added white sugar, I am very cautious and read food labels looking for sugars.  But I do still enjoy sweetness which I am getting through my yogurt with frozen fruit smoothies.  This has been my treat of the day. 

I have had rough days but I am grateful for pray and God’s word that has made this journey so much easier.  God has a wonderful sense of humor.  I am lead facilitator for Fit for the King.  Accountability J J

Review of NuLife's Fitness 30 minute Video @ $20.00 - I don't like to down a product but I posted it believeing it would be awesome. I am not gonna say you shouldn't buy it but don't pick it up based on my previous excitement. I reviewed it last evening. It is so not like Miesha's boot camp class that I grew to enjoy. There were far too many repetitions, it felt like there was high runs through the first 15 minutes. Now there is another video which is 26 bucks maybe it is more appropriate for what I need. But this one I give a big NO for me. I had hoped it was similar to a class workout with all the excitement it was boring to ME and this is MY opinion. But I still love Miesha's bootcamp for the time I was there, I was hoping this would replace class.

RAVE - If you haven’t read yesterday’s blog please go back and read my rant regarding my job.  Now overall that problem still exists but the agency has sent out email informing all licensed counselor and social workers and management that that are raising our pay range in an attempt to retain us and to gain new licensed individuals.  People here especially new people have not been sticking around.  I have been here 19 years and have invested in 401K, vacation, sick time so we old timers stick around.  I would find it hard to walk about from 5 weeks vacation to start somewhere else with 2 weeks. 

They are saying that they value us and want to keep us around.  Even thought deep in my head I know they are losing boat loads of money on training and re-training the newbies.  Hey it helps.  Things became effective March 8^th.  Praise God !  God is good and such a provider, ALL THE TIME !  I have to give God his glory it is because of him hearts have changed. 


Naural Hair Journey -  Last night I moisturized my 4 day old Marley high bun.  I take it off nightly, last night I gently moisturized the synethic hair to give it a little luster.  My hair is responding well to the low manipulation styling.  I love it and it loves me.  It is quite simple.
