50.2 Lost

Tonight was a big night. 2.2 down which made the total lost 50.2 lbs. Woo Hoo I still have a way to go but I'm happy with the result. It might be slow but at least it's going in the right direction. I need to get my exercising going again and make time for it as a priority. I'm leaving for FL on Sunday for a three day business trip with Scott. It should be nice and a great time to walk on the beach, eat healthy on someone else's dime and spend some great time with the Lord : )

Sounds good doesn't it???

2nd Day of Colon Fast

Well it went pretty well again today. I finally had a poo tonight (Jane) and it was at the swim meet so sorry no pictures. Well, I did have the camera for the kids however just couldn't bring myself to share that part of my life even with my close friends : 0 Let's just say that the pictures on their website are accurate.

Okay I slept so great last night and woke up feeling rested. That is so unusual for me. I have to wonder what causes that, allergies to foods?? Caffeine? I'm just not sure.

Here's the real stinker. I have to go to Michigan for a meeting on Sunday evening for a manager's meeting and I will still be on the colon fast. Can you believe it? Free food and good restaurants purchased by someone else and I will be choking down ginger juice as I sit and try to come up with a better reason than colon cleanse to explain why I'm not enjoying a dinner with everyone else.

Colon Cleanse Yuk

Hi

Well I'm on the 4th day of the colon cleanse. Three days of a slow down of eating and then the start of a complete fast today. I keep forgetting to drink the stuff every three hours and I get hungry and think OOPS

I'm feeling more clear headed already. It's so odd but I'm waiting for the crazy poo that usually shows up sometime tomorrow. You can take a look at www.blessedherbs.com and gross yourself out as well.

Hopefully no headache tommorrow. I'm really feeling like this is what I needed to curb the cravings and clean out the system.

Hugs to all

Kathy where is the adventure race update???????

Down again .8

Hi Ladies

I thought that was pretty funny to be down .8. I guess I'm back to 48.2 lbs. lost. That is just not going to cut it. I really want to see that 50lb. mark by next week.

I cannot begin to express what your encouragement means to me Hugs, Kisses and Cheek Pinchers to each of you.

I read a devotional today that keeps coming back in my mind. As you all know the story by now Jaycee Duggar was kidnapped and held for 18 years. She had opportunities to escape however chose not to even when her captor was arrested a few years ago for a parole violation. She had totally been brainwashed and convinced she couldn't make it without him. The devotion put us in this position as it pertains to addictions and sin in our life. We are afraid to let go of something that we feel we cannot live without even though it is bad for us. We are brainwashed by its power and lies. Won't you feel deprived? You have to eat don't you? I can only imagine the evil presence that permeated that sweet girls life as it pertained to her abduction. I'm not going to lose any more of my life to its' control. Guess how long it's been? 155 at 25 and I felt fat then. That was twenty years ago. I wasn't fat by the way, just had a fat head related to my thinking and body image.

I'm planning on doing a detox when my stuff arrives which I think will be a very good thing to get things moving again and prepare me for my surgery.

Thanks for your support. I couldn't do it without the Lord and the training team he has graciously provided.

Good Morning

I read something today that made me sad. I'm going to write a minute about it and then move on. People are hurting everywhere. I have a friend I homeschool with and she told me about how sensitive she is to other's pain. She is a nurse at Wishard and she talked about the countless people she sees that are not pleasant however she somehow can see the wounded son or daughter of God. I like that. I want to be more like that. Full of compassion, moved to action and changed by the encounter.

Today I read a blog that basically took the entire post to complain about the sinful habits of some folks. Not things like stealing or murdering or hurting her physically. It was all about their personality bumps. So many folks, me included, can take a look and quickly tear someone down in our minds pointing out all of their failures. How easy is that... If I could post I would say to her. Yes, you should have went over, yes you should have found the time to listen, yes you would have been a better example by doing this than showing your children that only the smartest, brightest and socially acceptable matter.

I'm sorry blogger but some folks just don't quite have the background and history you have. Oh yeah, you have a responsibility to them as well. Grow up, it's time. You missed a God appointment and the patient was you not them : (

Dragging Forward

Hi

I wish this was all good stuff but it just simply isn't.... Thank you for your prayers. Yesterday was a bit better. I stayed on plan and then about 8:00 ate a piece of pizza. Why????? I don't even know.

I did make a decision to have Claire work with Jackson on his Science daily which will free me up to accomplish some other things including some type of exercise. Scott finished grouting (sp?) the tile last night and it really looks nice. The house is starting to get back together which I know will also help.

On plan today is the goal..... Track Track Track and Pray Pray Pray.

Hugs, Dawna
