"CHECK IN DAY"

(This picture was taken last year in back of our place)

Thank you for stopping by today! I have heard from different ones on how they are doing in this being "accountable", it is so good to hear from those of you that are participating in this.


I am trying to get some things going here with my own weight, yeah I lost a pound this week. I have to keep telling myself, don't give up, keep on going. I can't get discouraged over this weight problem. I have looked at it and I am going to get right down to it. I know that one of my meds is a factor in my weight gain. But I also know that I can't use it as an excuse either. As I was working on the blog of "Signs & Signals", it you might say slapped me in the face. For as I was writting the words "for yielding is sin", I had to say ouch! Eating is something we have to do. But I also know that over eating is like drinking, or smoking or any other thing that can harm your body. Over eating can harm your body as well. In God's word when it talks about eating, it talks about glutton, every time the word is used it is used with winebibbers or drunkeness, so you see it is no different. I am no different then that one that drinks. God forgive me. I am trying really hard. Why it is so easy on other things, but this I cannot control. Well, I think I can't. So here I go again I am going to work harder at it than before, this coming week, with God's help.

As for you that are participating here are some testimonies:

The Highest Weight Loss - To the lowest

Kerri - 12.5 pounds
Gale - 3 pounds
Good job girls, keep up the good work.

Hey Mom, Just checking in. I have lost this week. So yea! I know what you mean about having to stay upbeat and positive even when you do not think you are doing good. I know it is easy to say this but losing 1 pound is good. Yes it can be discouraging, but 1 pound down is just 1 less you have to go. So keep up the good work. And congrats to everyone who is working on losing and/or getting healthy. Keep up the good work. I will be praying for you.

Hey mom, I think I fixed this so that it would send you an email when someone leaves a comment. I have it so that it would send it to your reagular email account. Let me know if it works and if it is ok to go to your regular email or if you want it to go to the hope email. Ok you have a good day!

Hey Eileen, I am letting you know that I don't think I've lost anything this week. Hopefully next week. It sure is hard to lose the pounds. Tom has been gone for 7 days and just returned last night. I think with not cooking regular meals I don't stay on a schedule. He should be around more next week. We'll see how it goes. Take care. God bless, Gale
