I'm back

Vacation was GREAT and very much needed. I relaxed, I related, i released LOL. My eating did go out of control I must admit. And it seemed everything down there was fried my goodness. But i did make sure to eat when hungry and stop when full and drink my water I was proud of that fact, and I actually went to the fitness room and worked out hey now go nikki!

When I came back My eating habits were still a bit messy but they have been cleaned up now. I am not getting back on the scale until next saturday just because I don't wanna know if I lost or gained yet. i coincidentally jumped on the scale the other day and it read 250 so I was ecstatic but I am still determineed to not get back on the scale until next saturday. i have been walking 2.5-3.0 miles in the morning and running for 30 minutes on the treadmill at lunchtime and I love it. I can feel the difference I feel much lighter and stronger so I'm happy. God has been doing a mighty work in my life and I love it, i am growing spiritually and I can see it in my daily walk. Well I don't feel too longwinded today so that's the gist of my blog for today.

Happy birthday to me!!!!!!!

happy birfday to me
happy birfday to me
I made my goal of fitting into an 18...........
so happy birfday TOOOO MEEEEEEEE "squeaky high pitched note"
:D

Nothing tastes as good as thin feels. I may not be a thin mint yet but baby I'm getting there!!!

As i look back over my life and I think about where God has brought me from.......from abuse, lies, deceit, drug(weed) habit, drinking problem, and my biggest hurdle--to instantly stop a SERIOUS cigarette habit, Going from being a young mother(18) to a college graduate working in the field that I always wanted and HAPPILY married, from feeling insecure to being able to TRULY love myself, and from having no mother raise me(daddy and grandma did it) to be a star mommy (pats self on the back), my soul truly and surely cries out Hallelujah!!!
you can't tell me that God isn't good. He's done too much for me that I know I couldn't have done for myself, and I thank you Jesus for your love and patience(with me).

And i especially thank you Jesus for opening my eyes to accept and love and show off my beautifully created wonderful NATURAL NAPPY HAIR AMEN!!

This morningI woke up late and was rushing out for my run and as soon as I opened my bedroom door my hubby and son were singing happy birthday to me LOL. Well my hubby was singing and my son was half asleep mumbling and rubbing his eye. Hubby said he couldn't wake my daughter up she sleeps too hard . But that made me smile and I felt better and pushed harder on the run LOL. Then when I got back in the house and relaxed a bit and then got the kids up and dressed and ready to go, I went into my room to get dressed and as I did my son came into my room and stood in front of me and put on his bravest face and sung the whole happy birthday song to me. My heart melted yall I couldn't help it that is my BABY!! then he said I love you mommy and gave me a hug then went back in his room. My daughter oblivious to whatever was painting her toes in her room getting ready to go but she did tell me happy birthday when I dropped them off at the babysitters. unfortunately we're too broke to do anything adventourous or celebratory so we'll just head out to prayer service tonight. Besides I'm going on vacation next week to Myrtle Beach (crossing fingers and praying that another hurricane DOES NOT HAPPEN), so that's my birthday present.

Their god is in their stomach

Philippians 3: 18-20
For, as I have told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, The Lord Jesus Christ who by the powerthat enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.


Praise God for a vision into what I don't want to do. Romans 12:2 says be not conformed to the ways of this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. This is a spiritual thing yall. It really is. I pray for more members of the body of Christ to have open eyes and see that their is too much obesity in the Body because we spend too much time making our stomachs our god. Lusting after food all day long, eagerly awaiting the next potluck, or reception, or banquet to get our eat on.

And lets not get on the old school Sunday after church dinners that are so famous in the Black American households. I know because I am victim to it. Well, As of now I WAS victim to it. From now on my stomach will not be my god anymore. I cannot serve two masters, only one. The stomach god has to go and the REAL GOD, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has to reign supreme. I know that salvation is a process and I thank God for opening up my knowledge and getting understanding on this. It's about living long enough to see the salvation and glory of the Lord and i want to be the healthiest me that I can be while seeking that. I don't want to be victim to High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, hypo or hyperglycemia, Hypo or hyperthyroidism(already have), high Cholestoral, High Cancer risk, Fibromagalia, Lymphoma, or anything else that I can prevent. It's time to stand upon the solid rock for guidance. I guarantee that every single need for everyday people is covered in the bible. I was searching for scriptures to support losing weight in the bible a couple of years ago and could find none, atleast none that I thought were valid because I was searching in my flesh for answers. It took really tapping into God and seeing things from a spiritual point of view to open my mind up and find the appropriate scriptures for this journey. Okay well, I'm sounding off for now. See ya!
