People are just people

People are just that, people ! I am glad that God is God and he is a God of Mercy and forgiveness and grace. Cause, I am not! I am human and I get angry and frustrated at people. Especially when they hurt my family and friends. One thing that I live by is God is the judge and His promise is that truth will always be revealed. So for my family and friends, remember God hand is upon your life and your sucess. He is looking out for you and your best interest. He will never hurt us or let us down, but people will. That is why we must rely on HIM only.

A week of blessings

Well it has been a great weekend. We had an outreach on Saturday at Corona Elementry School in Ontario. Over 1,000 people came and were blessed. We had 700 back packs to give away. We gave free shoes, and food and haircuts. It was so awesome to see God's hand move over the people. We take for granted what we have in front of us. Some of these families don't even know how they are going to eat the next day. I was completly blown away !

Watching the Change

So last night I was taking some new pictures. As I started to sort thru them I was really starting to look at them. I then started to be amazed. Up to this point I have not really noticed too too much the weight loss. Yes I feel it in my body, but I still see myself as the same. But then I started looking at the pictures and I almost started crying ! I mean I find myself to be a very confident woman, and I know that as I started gaining weight I was still confident, so it made it hard for me to see how heavy I really was. So last night I was looking and I was like " Whoa"!! My face has changed alot. I can't even believe now that I let my self get so out of control. But just like God give us second chances, this is another chance that He has allowed me to have to be able to regain self control in my life. 35 lbs has made a huge difference in my body, and my walk. I can't wait to see what I will look like in 6 months !!

35lbs Down and Counting !

Today I hit my 35lbs !! Oh what a Joy.

Liquid Potassium Yuck !!

Well my doctor is saying I have to take the liquid potassium and there is no other way. He said to mix with juice, well HELLO?? , I can't drink juice ! So, I started looking up on the interenet and I discovered what it is for and why I need it. I also realized that is why my legs have been cramping and feeling numb at night cause my potassium is low. So I tried several ways this morning to take it down. First I tried yogurt, no way to watery. Then I tried fruit punch crystal light, way to salty. Then I tried Diet Green Tea , Bingo ! So now I will be drinking that everyday to get it down. I tried to have eggs and a morning star patti this morning. NO DICE!! I thought I was gonna puke, so I did not eat. I am not sure if it was the Ms. Dash or the patti. Either way, I won't be trying that for a while. I am going to give my self a week with the potassium and get tested again.

Eating out Experience

Last night Mike and I went out on a date night. We went to Market broiler and shared a plate, it is so weird to share. I had salmon and a bite of mashed potatoes and a few bites of salad oh and 2 shrimp. It was so good ! Our bill was really low, this is nice to be able to share ! Then we saw a movie. It was a nice date night ! I think the waitress thought we were cheap ! Cause we both felt weird saying we were going to share !! It was funny !

Traveling with the Band

Well I survived the Tour of Central Cal. Let me explain. I am in a Band and we went to Central California to minister at different churches. I tried my hardest to prepare my self for what was to come. The hardest thing for me was the car ride. What do we do in the car on long trips?? EAT!!! So, what I did was pack myself little snacks, protein drinks, lunch meat, string cheese and yogurts. I only ate when I was hungry and if we went to fast food, I ordered a side salad and since I packed Tuna, I had that over it! I think I did very well. I planned ahead and for the worse which helped because if I hadn't then I would have eaten things I should not have. I did not get sick once and I still feel great. The best thing to do is be prepared, have a back up plan. A few times I needed my back up plans. There were times that we did not have time to eat, so I had a protein drink and had some tuna. Since I packed ahead I took myself some sugar free cookies just in case I needed one, and they helped and they were good. So I still ate and did not feel deprived since I was not snacking. Another life saver is JU JU Jerky! It is Turkey Jerky . Very soft and tasty and high, high protein !! I only found at Albertsons, but very very good !!

Got home from the Tour and first thing I did was weigh my self and I was down ! So I at 34lbs now. !
