Update...

So I have been doing a work out call cross fit or I have been trying to do the work out, but some of the things are just really hard, for example a box jump!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! I can barely do a jumping jack! I feel like such a loser. When I do the other work out I cant move for days. I am thinking this work out is not for me but i feel like quieter and like I am just giving up because it is too hard. I don't know what to do, everyone says to work threw the pain yeah and i get that and understand but does that mean I can't walk or bend over with out wanting to cry! Cross fit is for people who are in some what of shape and yeah that is not me!
WW is doing a 5k walking challenge and I think I am going to do that for now and maybe when I lose more, move up to the running challenge. I think I am going to still do some of the Cross fit work ( the simple one's) and maybe when I lose more weight i will try the harder ones. I am just not ready to do something like that right now. I don't want to kill myself trying to get healthier!
I am hoping my hubby will help me in the walking and running challenges, he is a runner and I know that he could help me that is if he is patient with me (:
So that is all for now! Have a great weekend everyone!!

Alabama Judge....

Alabama
Judge

Some of you may be wondering what Judge Roy Moore has been doing since he was
removed from the bench for refusing to remove the Ten Commandments from his
courtroom wall. Please read the poem he wrote. It's below his picture.

The following is a poem written by Judge Roy Moore from Alabama . Judge Moore
was sued by the ACLU for displaying the Ten Commandments in his courtroom
foyer. He has been stripped of his judgeship and now they are trying to strip
his right to practice law in Alabama ! The judge's poem sums it up quite well.

America? the beautiful,
or so you used to be.
Land of the Pilgrims' pride;
I'm glad they'll never see.

Babies piled in dumpsters,
Abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty;
your house is on the sand.

Our children wander aimlessly
poisoned by cocaine
choosing to indulge their lusts,
when God has said abstain

From sea to shining sea,
our Nation turns away
From the teaching of God's love
and a need to always pray

We've kept God in our
temples, how callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool,
and Heaven is His throne.

We've voted in a government
that's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless Judges;
who throw reason out the door,


Too soft to place a killer
in a well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill a baby
before he leaves the womb.

You think that God's not
angry, that our land's a moral slum?
How much longer will He wait
before His judgment comes?

How are we to face our God,
from Whom we cannot hide?
What then is left for us to do,
but stem this evil tide?

If we who are His children,
will humbly turn and pray;
Seek His holy face
and mend our evil way:

Then God will hear from Heaven;
and forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly land
and those who live within.

But, America the Beautiful,
If you don't - then you will see,
A sad but Holy God
withdraw His hand from Thee..

~~Judge Roy Moore~~

This says it all. May we all forward this message and offer our prayers for
Judge Moore to be blessed and for America to wake up and realize what we need
to do to keep OUR? America the Beautiful.

Pass this on and let's lift Judge Moore up in Prayer. He has stood firm and
needs our support.

IN GOD WE TRUST

my girls...




Oh today is going to be GREAT!!! The girls are coming over for some much need girl time. We are going to order pizza and go to Orange tree (yummy)!!!!! Then going to watch the Blind Side which is one of the best movies!
I love having the girl come over, we just sit around talk, laugh and there have been time where we all just having a really crappy time and we just vent and cry to each other! I wouldn't know what to do with out these women in my life! We have been threw so much together and I would do it all over again as longs I knew they were going to be by my side! The crazy thing is we are sooo different from each other but we have always fit into each other lives like we are meant to be there. I love being able to be my self around them and not have to worry about impressing them.
Our anniversary is coming up,Six years ago they took me in and became my family and beyond blessed that they did. They didnt care that about my past or what stupid thing came out of my mouth, they have helped me grow into the women and mother I am today! What more can you ask for in a friendship???

update...

So today has started out pretty good!! My hubby let me get some sleep this morning and the baby slept in his own room last night for the first time and he did great! Only woke up once which is awesome because he usually wakes up every hr when I have tried to do this before!
So I have lost 5 pounds!!! I love seeing my weight go down it is just great! The weight watchers site said I was losing weight to fast psh whatever! I have only 10 more pounds to lose and I will be were I was when I got pregnant with Elijah! Today's work out is crazy!!! So I think I am going to Mondays work out instead. Going to take it easy today though because I started back on my Metformin and it just make me sick to my stomach, so we will see how my day goes with that, but I really need to do a work out today. I haven't done a work out in two days. On Saturday I did work in the yard for 3 1/2 hours so Sunday I didn't do anything and then yesterday I work in the yard for a bit and just did stuff around the house. So today I am going to work out with the hubby when he gets up!
Well I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Holidays....

I have been thinking about the holidays and what they mean. With Easter just here I have been thinking about it a lot. What does Easter mean to me? I know that Jesus died for me and was resurrected, and that is why we celebrate Easter but I also see Easter as a fresh start for everyone. I know people think that January is for that because of the new year but look outside in January! It is cold and still nasty and everything is dead, but when Easter comes around the flowers are in bloom, the grass is beginnig to turn lush and green, the birds are chirping. You step outside and smell the fresh air and your soul is awakened and you feel alive! It is a fresh start for the world. Like when Jesus died for us for a fresh start. Am I less of a Christan because this is how I think or that I love Easter egg hunts with my niece and nephews or that I love doing the whole Easter basket for my son? I am filled with such joy and love around Easter because I am around all of the people I love and care about. Because I know who my savior is! Isn't that what God wanted for us? To be filled with joy and to be around the people he has blessed us with?
So why do people make such a big deal out of Easter baskets? Is it hurting anything by enjoying a little surprise and fun? As long as you know why we have Easter then why can't we enjoy everything else around us. I mean if we can't enjoy Easter baskets then we shouldn't have Christmas gifts either then, because Christmas is not about the gifts but about the birth of our savior. But we don't because we know that we can still enjoy our traditions with our families and still celebrate the birth of our savior.
It is all about how we teach our children what truly matters when it comes to holidays. Let's take Halloween for example. I see nothing wrong at all with dressing up and getting candy. We'r not celebrating the devil or practicing witch craft or any of that nonsense. We're letting our kids get dressed up and run around and get CANDY! It all comes back to what you teach your kids. If you don't bring up the fact that Halloween used to be about keeping yourself safe from evil spirits, then they will never know! It is about celebrating the change of season and the Fall and it is just for fun.
Isn't it more important to know why we celebrate? And who better to celebrate the things Jesus did for us then with the people Jesus brought into our lives??
