I was down three for a total of 13 pounds and I got a little too excited I guess...I ate a cookie yesterday...Jamie made these to-die-for Hershey's chocolate chip pan cookies...my mouth is watering as I am typing this - no joke.
So I get on the scales this morning and I gained a pound! So now I'm at negative twelve. I'm not telling Ryan...I just have to lose this pound by Thursday and he'll never know the difference :)
I am a carb addict. I can't pass up the sugar very well, but I guess that's a discipline I am going to have to master if I am going to keep at this nonsense. I say nonsense because this morning when I was doing ten pound curls (yes, I am very weak, ten pounds in each hand about kills me!) I was thinking..."this is nonsense to put your body through this kind of hell..." and then I put on a top and a pair of pants that I couldn't fit into a month ago and then I decided it was worth it.
My mind is an ever buzzing machine...the thoughts are constantly circulating.
So, no more pics until my friend Schwen emails me the secret to posting them the right way. I keep having problems.
Speaking of Schwen, (my only blog reader...) Mackenzie graduated yesterday - she has grown up to such a wonderful person. Not a surprise at all since she was raised by Glenda and Tammy! They are the sweetest people around. Anyhow, at Mik's Baccalaureate she gave her testimony and she talked about me showing her Jeremiah 29:11 in the bible as my life verse and then she adopted it as her life verse "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, a plan to prosper you and not to harm you; a plan to give you hope and a future."
She also announced that she is attending Bapitst Bible College this fall and how she was excited to attend a Christian college. God is going to use her so much - she is awesome.
During her whole speech, I cried my eyes out of course. For one that she even remembered that I shared that verse with her (she was 13 I think), but also in awe of what God does with people -- and how He uses His Word to get us through our every day life. I know in my own life, I have found ways to distract me from God's Word to justify my decisions. Of course, now, I am regretting that. But thank God that His Word never changes...His mind never changes...His loyalty to His children...NEVER CHANGES.
At any rate, (sorry I am babbling) thinking of the all the kids that you and I have had contact with, many that we love like "our own" - what a blessing that it is for us to see what an impact God had on their lives, especially when they grow up and serve God.
I MISS U! And may I leave you with this song to resonate through your brain today...

I can't believe she graduated. Between you and Glenda and Tammy, Kleenex shouldn't have any problems in this tough economy. Yeah for Christian colleges!!! So glad she's deciding to go to one.
The picture secret is just load them all, they'll be at the top, then you drag it down the screen to where you want it. Doesn't mean that it will stay right there, sometimes you have to edit once or twice, but you just hold down the mouse button and pull it down, it gets to a point where it begins to move. At first you think it's not going to work, but it will. Keep dragging. Sometimes you'll get a little circle with a line through it that pops up. Call me if you can't figure it out.
PS You can also load them one at a time and drag too.
