I love bargain shopping!

The problem I have is that I see all these good deals...end up getting summer stuff....don't have any money left over for winter stuff!

Don't you just love those stores too that put at the bottom of the receipt....YOU SAVED......DH cracks up and makes jokes about it. I am very proud of myself!

Hi Beth,

Hope your holiday weekend was nice. Gotta love the bargains.

Men just don't understand

. I like to view the YOU SAVED section on my receipt too.

Lyn, are you doing ok? I had a VERY VERY bad dream last night about you and Meek and something is telling me to ask if yall are ok! I won't say the specifics of the dream (that would never happen in real life anyway) but I was DISTURBED!

Holla back!

Hey Allie,

I'm doing ok, sorry about the dream you had?

Eating wise: I'm still trying to get motivated after my "off planning" days. I was trying to make this woe work for me and add in a few days of foods that I was forbidden to eat. Well at first things were going ok, but then I just went all hog wild. I'm a work in progress though, besides that........all is well.

Good. Glad Ike appears to be steering clear of you guys. He is a killer. Pray for these people. I don't see how these Caribbean countries do it. Haiti? Oh my gosh.

Thank you Jesus for sparing us. I will continue to pray for those in his path

I think Ike will steer away from us here in the Fla.--Alabama line.
Just hope New Orleans will be spared to.

Hi Mary,

Thank you Jesus for keeping us safe and we must not forgot those that aren't as fortunate.

godsbeloved79 · 09-10-2008, 08:52 AM

YES......I really need to do that. I fell off the wagon; have been frustrated for weeks trying to get back on plan. I was doing so well and then I decided to mix things up a bit. WRONG thing to do

.

My Revelation: If I can trust God with my marriage, the kids, and finances, why can't I trust him with my weight loss issues

. I know low carbing works, but at this point I just can't see myself starting Induction again.

My Plan: Start low carbing again, but pick up from where I left off. My loss may be slower doing it this way, but I will be able to maintain. I love the fact that I can take a pack of peanuts to the movies and a bottle of water. So I will grocery shop and start on with OWL soon.

Lyn

you can do it girl! just find what works for you!!! I'm with you!

s1mon3 · 09-10-2008, 10:09 AM

I agree...you have to do what works for you...going into induction with confusion, mixed feeling and frustration is a recipe for disaster! Stay in the game!

godsbeloved79 · 09-10-2008, 10:11 AM

Thanks ladies, I plan to do "me" and that consists of picking up the pieces and moving forward.

Lyn,

I am discovering a lot of things about myself in this maintenance phase. I am learning what things I can handle and what things throw me way off. Take each mistake and learn from it. Don't beat yourself up about it.

It is the times where I have gone "hog wild" that I have learned the most about my body and how God wants me to treat it. We do pay dearly for our mistakes, but we remember them for next time (with me it takes more than a few times). Keep moving forward. We do need to rely on God through this process. It's just like anything else that would have control in our lives. For us it is food....for others it might be alcohol. We have to just do the best we can and remember to give it all to God!

Thanks for the encouragement Beth

. I learned a very valuable lesson this time, I'm not able to go off plan when eating the low carb way. No exceptions. Some can have an off plan food and go right back, I'm not that strong in that area yet. God is going to walk side by side with me through this and I know I will succeed.

Hi, godsbeloved, we have missed you on the Sistas Thread and I just noticed that you had this one going... I wish you all the best in the world in making your goal...

Hi Patty....

. It's so hard to keep up with all the threads these days

. This is my journal, so I try to keep it updated as much as possible. I peeked in on you ladies on the Sistas thread, but didn't have time to post. Thanks for the well wishes on reaching goal, I will surely get there soon.

la.lady · 09-11-2008, 01:58 PM

Ok, Sweetie, I just got word that the hurricane is going to hit us, so I will probably be MIA for awhile. We sure can use your prayers...

You and yours are in my prayers Patty

. You are covered by the blood.

godsbeloved79 · 09-13-2008, 08:58 PM

Well it has been a very eventful weekend

. The boys WON their game and we had a blast at the beach this evening. Friday night after practice ended with a trip to the laundry mat and I didn't finish folding until after 12 am last night

. The good thing is that it is done and after service tomorrow I can rest. I have to wake up early to prepare the yams I volunteered to prepare for our dinner after church. That means I don't have to cook tomorrow

.

Well to all those that may read here, I pray that your weekends were blessed and full of zest

.

la.lady · 09-15-2008, 08:37 AM

Hi Sweetie, I am so glad that you had so much fun... Honey we will be gone from 1 to 2 weeks to work on Dawn's house... Have a very blessed Day and we will be leaving tomorrow...

Low Carb Mommy · 09-15-2008, 09:05 AM

Good morning Lyn! Have a fabulous week!
