Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.? Exodus 20:12 -- Great scripture for our children to learn.
Morning! I hope you all are enjoying your weekend. I sure am .... I'm going to the gym, shopping, studying, and preparing my food for the next two weeks. I've decided to join this FANTASTIC gym near my home. I'm excited about that. I really miss my cardio and feel that it is what has helped me to lose and maintain. TOM will be here next week I'm not looking forward to his visit Toodles!

Good evening everyone!
I guess you all are busy this weekend. I hope you are enjoying your time w/your family Well, I finally got some cardio in today; after I toured the new join I decided to join. The memebership is expensive (70$ per month ) but, it's worth it. The gym has A LOT of classes, new machines (each machine has a little flat screen television w/CABLE and a CD drive), I received a certificate for 1 hour with a personal trainer (yes!), sauna and many other perks. A sista will be getting her work-out on EVERYDAY now !!Okay, getting ready for bed... I'll chat with you all tomorrow. Peace! |

Morning!
Stopping by to say hello before I head to church. I went to the gym this morning, and completed 60 minutes. I'm going back after church. I'm challenging myself to work out 2-3 hours EVERYDAY for the next week - to see where that leads me. I'm not sure how much I weigh, so I can't track my progress. All I know is, I want to be at 150 or lower, when I do finally weigh-in. We shall see.... Marlette: I wanted to try Matt's little experiment, but I don't know what he actually did I know I would NEVER lose 26 pounds in one week. Matt had to be working out 5-8 hours per day, in order to lose that much weight. I'm going to talk to one of the trainers at my gym today. I have some fitness questions - I need answered. I've noticed that a lot of skinny people are not healthy or active. I want to be both. I don't just want to lose weight, so I can fit into 'cute' clothes. I was to be healthy and ACTIVE !! My main goal for exercising is to build my endurance and strength at the same time. 60 minutes on the elliptical is NOTHING for me - I want to take it up to 2 hours now !! Oh, and my next goal is to run 6 miles on the treadmill, NONE STOP !! I saw these girls do it on Making the Band 3. If they can do it, I know I can.... I'm preparing myself to accomplish that goal by next Saturday. Pray for me ladies! Until later... |

Hey Meek..they really didn't get into exactly what Matt did to lose the weight. What they did show was him pigging out on carbs and not working out. Some on another thread suggested he upped his carbs and then dropped them way down to lose the weight.
I am going to look on their board to see if they have more info..That membership is pretty expensive..but if you can afford it! GO for it! I used to pay Bally's $55/ month. Take advantage of the personal trainer. They give you all the tips on targeting areas. Take mental notes. Even if it is only for an hour, you will have their instructions in your head!! I loved my trainer in Detroit. She had no mercy on me!! I was fit and toned. Then we moved to Florida and I got pregnant. She wold have a fit if she saw me now!! Good luck on meeting your next goal. I know you will be successful as you already have!! My prayers are always with you!!! ![]()

Good Morning
Hey Ladies!!
I have missed you all!!! I have been away from the boards for a few days. I have been tired and having no energy to sit in front of the computer. I have had to work everyday this past weekend. So I have been beat. JC Penney had a coupon sale and their Mega sale started on Saturday. We were swamped. It is crazy. I can only expect it to get busier closer towards Christmas. I am no way complaining. I love staying busy. The time just flies by and I go home before I know it. I like the position I am in. There are a lot of friendly people I work with. I could not ask for more!! I am still on my mission. I have not cheated since beginning again on November 7. I was tempted to cheat last night. I went into the gas station to get a Sunday paper and they were selling mini Reese Cups for $.25! Man that is my number candy! I wanted it so bad..but I picked up the sf Hershey's w/ almonds and ran out of the store..I feel good that I didn't cheat. I would have hated myself this morning if I had given in. THANK GOD!! Ok..I have to finish getting my children ready..BBl.. |

"Merry Monday"
Hi ladies!
I had a GREAT weekend, and I did eat off plan the whole weekend. I'm not complaining or beating myself up, I'm just keeping it REAL! Me and hubby were like teenagers dating again . We went to the movies, out to dinner every night and even went to the store to do a little shopping. I got a nice belt to match a nice pair of slides I had before. I think that I will be in the 180's by Wednesday's weigh-in. Thanksgiving will be lots of meat and greens. Marlette - you are doing well with Low Carbing and your new job! I'm happy for you and I bet you will lose alot more being busy and NOT focusing so much on it. Meek - WTG with the gym girlie. Share some of those tips from the trainer , ok? I find that when I power walk and jog that my body tones up BEAUTIFULLY. Sarah - Good Morning! How was your weekend? To all that may follow be blessed and know that the BEST is yet to come. Thanksgiving: What are your plans? We plan to do a small dinner at home and then head out to visit our family. I think we discussed this before?? Not sure .

Hi Lyn!!
I am glad you had a good weekend w/ your hubby!! Reliving the old times can be good for the soul..It keeps you young.. I knew all I needed was to get out of the house..and I would be fine. Thanks!! We did talk about Thanksgiving already, but it's all good. We can talk about it again. It is day where we must give thanks for everything the Creator has provided!!! Glory to God!! I am planning a meal for home and then we are heading out to my co-workers house. She had a new house built and this will be her first Thanksgiving in her brand new house..so she invited us over to celebrate with her!! It should be a lot of fun.. I am just glad we are visiting someone. My kids miss the family back in Detroit so much..Both of our families are there and around the holiday's they want to be with them. So at least a little of that void they will feel will be filled..she has kids close to my kids ages.. ![]() |

Daily Devotional
"To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven…" (Ecclesiastes 3:1, AMP). God has assured you that He will fulfill His promises to you. But sometimes it's hard to wait as time passes. Don't allow anxiety to keep you from achieving everything that God has promised you. Stay in faith. His promises are always on time! Hey Ladies like the old sayings go.. "Patience Is A Virtue", "The Best Things Come To Those Who Wait"... |

For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.? Mark 10:45

The Gifts of the Spirit
1 CORINTHIANS 12:1-13 God has prepared work for us to do, and He equips us through spiritual gifts. Let's examine three passages of Scripture that talk about these divine abilities. In Ephesians 4, Paul discusses the gifts that represent the offices of the church. (v. 11) The Spirit manifests these capabilities in those He has chosen. He expects them to be used "to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up" (v. 12 NIV). In 1 Corinthians 12, the spiritual gifts are considered in regard to their function for the greater good—the Spirit of God gives these capabilities in order to bless the body of Christ. If we do not identify our gift and fulfill our role in the functioning of the church, then we are of little use, similar to a broken hand or a plugged-up ear. The Lord has a specific purpose in mind for our service, and without us, our church will lack something. Lastly, in Romans 12, Paul deals with the expression of these gifts. For example, he writes that those with the gift of giving are to give generously. If one has been bestowed with mercy, it is to be dispensed cheerfully. (v. 8 NIV) Again he emphasizes that the Spirit ordains the use of these skills to benefit God's family. Living in the power of the Holy Spirit means identifying and employing our spiritual gifts as He directs. We will find both the motivation and confidence we need for service when we operate in them. Do you know yours? If not, then seek godly counsel and become a blessing to others In Touch - Charles Stanley |
