No Day But Today!

I have been back to work now for a week and I still miss the "big city" life and I must admit I miss the blogs, also! Working two jobs is tough and twelve hour work days are killer on the feet; so much so that me and my tennis shoes have become VERY CLOSE friends. During this past week, I have had alot of blog ideas come to me on various topics and all are being worked on. However, one that came to mind was a "series". Maybe its a series or maybe its just for accountibility for myself. I am sure you are wondering what the topic is! Well, weightloss. (Ok bare with me!!) Have you ever made that new year's resolution of losing weight and you are "GUNG HO" about it for a month (maybe) NO? Ok maybe it was just me! Or maybe you have said "tomorrow" I am starting my diet...again, just me? Ok, well that tomorrow never comes for me. Tomorrow becomes another tomorrow which turns into another tomorrow and then here I am still wanting/needing to lose some weight but stuck in the rut of tomorrow. So, TODAY I watched what I ate and watched my calorie intake. I even have an app on my phone that helps me with this. Most of all, I am clinging to Phil. 4:13 "I CAN do ALL thing thru CHRIST who strengthens me." Yes, ALL, even lose this weight. Will the posts be boring? Probably, but no one makes you read this, however I LOVE my readers, the both of you! (hahaha) I am currently working on and taking ideas of what to call those posts with a logo.
Now, I feel like I should say that I am not going to daily blog about my calories however, there will be blog entries 1-3 times a week about how I am doing with it, battles, goals and pounds.Also, I will not only blog about this weightloss. If you have any ideas, recipes or encouragement PLEASE, I welcome it all! I guess I am including you all in on this because blogging off the weight (hey maybe that could be the title, what do you think?) seems like a decent way of accountibilty plus I like blogging and I need to know, is anyone with me??

Here are two "logos" I found on photobucket that I thought were cute!!

I like the second logo. You would never show your crack like the woman in the first one. :) We, your FAITHful readers, are behind you, so blog away. Also, if you were gungho about your New Year's resolution for a month, then you are a way better woman than I am!

I'm behind you 100%! I am battling the same thing, so we can be accountable to each other. Keep up the good work!

Love love love it. And I like the second logo better too. I guess because I like guns. And if you're blogging about it, then that would help with your accountability! So, I look forward to reading them, as well as all your other ones. It was sad times when the original series ended. But, I like you in town, so if I have to sacrifice your blogs for you being back in town, then so be it.

Well, it's been over a week and no new blog. You can't keep us hanging like this, Faith. Now, how's the diet and I know there was something too funny that happened over the holidays. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.

My Grandpa

Image
As I am sure many of you have read or heard, my grandfather passed away this week after a long hard fought battle over the years and especially this last month. One thing can be said for sure, my grandfather was a fighter with a will to live and one you never heard complain about any of his ailments. He always had a smile on his face and a content heart just to be with his loved ones. Through the past several weeks I have stopped and just watched as the hand of God has carried my family with His outpour of grace and mercy in some very unfortunate circumstances and times. I sat next my fading grandfather as he caressed a picture of a better and younger era with his shaking frail hand, a time where health and time were on his side. A time where dreams were being sought and the future was bright. He stared at the picture and you could almost see the memories on his face as he was seeing them. I noticed his hand; a shaky frail hand that has done so much, built churches, houses, chalkboards

Blogging Off The Weight & More

Nope, I have not forgotten, everyday when I crave that chocolate or that supersize meal... I think about this picture of the old cantankerous lady in a moo-moo and try my best to resist such temptation!! The scales are showing a loss of about 28 pounds (depending on the week of the month its 30, HA!!!!) While these results are slow I am reminded that just like everything else in life, this too is a process, filled with ups and downs. Do you ever just have those rare days that you feel skinny?? I know I do and those are the days that I REALLY try to avoid the mirrors! Let me have my delusional skinny day once a month! haha One day, it will no longer be a delusion and I will have a flat stomach but that day is not today! I have noticed a change in some clothes and how they fit, that is fun. Swimsuit season is basically upon us and my body sings "oh happy day" in a sarcastic tune when I think about this! However I did find a swimsuit that I feel pretty in and I think thats reall

Lovin' My Louisiana

Let's face it, Louisiana gets a bad rap most of the time. Sure, we may not have it all together but show me a state that does. Having grown up in Louisiana, I may be a little partial. While I love to visit other states and every now and then I toss the idea of living elsewhere, my heart always comes back to my Louisiana and why I love her so. I could not imagine living elsewhere when football season rolled around, or even the ungodly summer heat, I think I would miss it... Ok!  maybe I wouldn't miss that as much as I would the song of a Louisiana summer night.  All this talk about my Louisiana made me want to write the things that I really love and appreciate about our state: I love the croaks and chirps on a hot summer evening, letting us all know nightfall is here. I am thrilled by the dance of the lightning bugs against the blanket of night, and the bright nightlights in the sky above. If its 65 degrees, you can bet we will have the scarves and sweaters on! I lo
