Big WEEK

I am happy to report, I lost 3.8 lbs last week. This week is important to me, I have a goal to lose six pounds. While, it's a pretty big number, the milestone it represents is a BIG accomplishment for me. It will mean two things, that I have lost 10% of my total weight since I started Weight Watchers, as well as it means I will be at 299! I could hop up and down at just the sight of that number on the screen in front of me. Transfer that to the scale and you have a very happy girl.

So, how will I accomplish this mission?

1. Drinking 100+ oz of water.
2. Walking at least 3 miles a day.
3. Not eating after 7 pm
4. Eating fruits and veggies
5. Eating Fish three times this week.
6. Staying positive and blogging.


I have always been a golfer, and I don't mean in the sense that you might think. If you are thinking fields of greens, eighteen holes and a bag of clubs... you have me mistaken with my husband. He loves to play the sport of Golf, I hate it. Who knows, maybe when I am in shape, I may discover that it's been the missing ingredient to my life. (I doubt that very much).

When I say that I am a golfer, I mean that I eat my food very fast. I am sure the proper spelling or phrasing would be engulfing. I never was into grammar, or being proper anyhow, so if you don't mind, I will leave it.
Not only am I trying to eat slower, but I am actually allowing myself to get full before I go help myself to seconds. So waiting for my brain to catch up, signal that hey your full... is something new to me.

I am starting to believe in myself, a little more each day. If I can dream it, than I can achieve it. This is true for all of us. I truly believe if we have a passion or desire in our hearts, that's God telling us, this is your purpose. See it, Dream it, Achieve it.

I lived through yesterday without emotional eating and that is a BIG thing for me. I am not going to mention names, or events that occurred but I will just say this. Someone was intentionally trying to hurt me yesterday and they won. They stole my power, joy and my peace. I was so ANGRY with this person, it shook me to my core. I have never been so insulted in my entire life. Direct shot taken, to the heart. Mission accomplished. Mistie was down.

Wanting to throw in the towel, hands up in the air, put up my wall and erase this person from my life forever is what I wanted to do. However, God so had my back and thank you to the words of a genuine friend, at the end of the day, I felt much more loved, than hated on and this friend encouraged me to not quit, to keep going and to just be me... My friend reminded me that, even though this person was out to get me, that I had all of this support, and love from several people who love me and want to see me succeed and that have my back. This meant more to me, than my friend will ever know. The love and support from my family and friends outweighs what the enemy will do to me. He who is in me, is stronger than he who is in the world.

I have a long way to go to get to where I wont let this person bother me. I forgive this person AGAIN. I rest in knowing that this person is not going to get the best of me. This is your issue, not mine and I will not lose another day to anguish and turmoil in my spirit. I will do the right thing, so that I have no regrets not expecting equal measure in return.

I pray for this person, that they be blessed and stop being a JERK. Yea, I can say that. LOL but more importantly that I never be shaken again.
Whoever said being a Christan was easy, isn't one. It's the hardest walk I have ever done, but it's been the best path, I've ever taken and I am very grateful for the love of God, my husband, family and friends. I am Blessed in the city, I am blessed in the Fields.

He works things out for the good of those who love Him and I know He is working this out. I know that I can complete my journey on my weight loss, and I put my hope in Him. I am so glad I don't have to do this walk alone.


It is going to be a extremely busy week juggling about 15 balls.

Stay tuned.... : )
