Dear Blog,
I started the diet today. I so ate on the plan. I did what I was to do. How in the world did I gain a stinkin pound??? Well I know I put spices on my chicken and turkey when I roasted them, a little bit. I am thinking its the sodium. I always have a issue with "Salt". That and my body is so not used to drinking the massive amounts of fluids I have been (prepping for FL) I am on a water pill for my BP so maybe I dont need to over load on the H20.
I rode 2 miles this morning and 2 tonight on the bike. I think I may go for 2 1/2 tomorrow twice also and see what happens besides my legs feeling heavy and aching a bit.
I have done real well with not bringing soda in the house for the last week. I ate my last beloved peppermint yesterday I am not drinking I dont smoke so whats left?? I would say sleep but Mark is gone for a few weeks so thats out...
God Bless

Since I like Joel Osteen I am sharing his post.
Listen to Your Heart
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips"
(Proverbs 16:23, NKJV)
TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria
Choosing your words is very important. The scripture tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. You can bless your future with your words, or you can curse it. God Himself spoke the worlds into existence by the creative power of words.
There are many influences over our words. In the heat of the moment, we can let our emotions tell us what to say. We can listen to what others say and allow them to influence our words. We can even be influenced by what we watch on TV, the internet, or read in the news. But notice what today's verse tells us that a wise person does—a wise person listens to their heart and lets their heart teach them what to say. As a believer, when you listen to your heart, you are tuning in to what the Spirit of God is saying to you. You are coming into agreement with Him.
Today, listen to your heart. Take time to be still and quiet before the Lord. Allow Him to teach you what to say. As you submit your words and ways to Him, He will direct your path.

It's been so LONG
Dear Blog,
Oh how I have neglected you! I am so sorry but I am ready to be friends again. Now is the time. The time to really go on a diet and lose some weight. I have NEVER been this heavy even being PG with the last 4 children. I am starting (again) the 6 weeks to a better body diet. I just made all my chicken/turkey I need for my protiens bagged them with my carb (a small tater). Then I will just add my veggie or salad to the approiate meals and get this party started.
Starting weight 212. mesurements I wont even go there, its hard enough to see my weight in type. The "D" starts offfically tomorrow, as for tonight I am making fried taco's.
We will be leaving in 2 months or FL. We have a nice house we will be renting, the schools are close by. My sister will fly the 3 older kids at the end of July and we will just have the baby across country, then she is staying for a bit to help me get settled in. I am so ready for the move for the change, for a real home church as we haven't found a church we liked since our pastor left the church.
God Bless

Such a long time ago
Alright I know its been a long time but I this pregnancy really took it out of me. I am proud to say Sailor Elizabeth Estelle was born on Grandpa Ralph's birthday and our 9th wedding anniverssairy. I even spent Mothers day in the hospital due to the c-section. She weighed in at 7.4 and was 18 1/2 inches, she did lose a pound due to lung issues which had her in special nursery for 2 days, she has now gained it back and she loves to nurse.
I was lucky and had my own room or I really should say God Blessed me with my own room and I am very thankful for that. We were given a knit blanket that was knit by one of the nurses as a mothers day gift, I also received a bag full of hair and body goodies too. The kids and my sister came and I got the usual cards. I did remeber to give my sister a card since she was here helping me with the kids and was not with her girls this year.
