Lost in the Confusion

Hello All…Long time no updates. I just wanted to let you all know that I’m still alive. It’s been a crazy month, hopefully August will bring better things. We will hopefully have a meeting this month unlike July, but I will discuss with others and see what they think. I hope none of you have fallen off the wagon and gotten run over like I did, but hopefully, we’re back on track and taken control again. I did something this weekend that I’ve been wanting to do for a while, but didn’t have time to do. I actually made a list of things…meals for the week. Then, I went to the store and bought everything, and then went home and divided everything into baggies and containers and such. Now when I go to make my lunch in the morning before work, all I have to do is grab what’s on my list for lunch and snacks for the day, throw them in the cooler and go. This is the first week, so we’ll see how it goes. It didn’t take me, but maybe 45 minutes to get everything together and I did it on Saturday night while watching a movie. So, I would recommend this for anyone who is busy and on the go like me. I don’t have anything spiritual for today, but tomorrow is looking hopeful. Here’s hoping you all are doing well. Be sure to comment and let me know you got this new update. Until next time…Keep Looking UP for your inspiration and God Bless!!!

Are you Out there?

I just wanted to let you all know that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I have been short on time. There for a while, I was able to update while at work (very carefully), but I've been put in charge of training everyone on our new system and have not had a few moments alone to think. I am going to try something new, not guaranteeing it will work, but I will try. I really don't want to have another lapse like this one. It's been over 2 weeks since I last updated this page and I don't want that to happen. It seems that we can get so caught up in our own lives and in what's happening, that we forget to stop and breathe. I've been asked by several people when our next meeting is going to be. To be honest with you, I'm not really sure when it will be. We've got so many things going on at the church right now, that I just don't know when there will be time for a meeting. If it is alright with all of you, I think we won't have a meeting for July and then we'll have our next meeting in August. I just don't see us trying to cram in a meeting before VBS, because that would be this Sunday, and I'm not sure that that's enough time for anybody to prepare for it. This is just an informative blog letting everyone know that I'm still alive. Hopefully, I will be able to post some encouragement tomorrow. Thank you for your patience with me. Until Next time, Keep Looking UP for your inspiration and God Bless.

Power Struggle

Man am I ever struggling. It's soooo easy to go back to my eating styles before dieting. I didn't have to count every little thing and I didn't have to worry about feeling guilty for eating something, but I have to remember what it feels like every time I step on the scale and it says I weigh less than I did the day before. It's almost empowering the feeling that you get when the needle goes down instead of up. Sometimes I'm weak and I have to ask God for His strength to get me back on track. In case you haven't seen the common theme for the past month, it feels like I'm on one day and off the next. It has been a complete power struggle for me, and I'm trying to get back on the road to success. There will not be any spiritual application to today's blog, but I just wanted to let you all know where I am and try the new recipe of the week. It's to die for. Until Next Time...Keep Looking UP for your inspiration and God Bless!!!
