I am getting to help a LITTLE bit this week at VBS. I have REALLY enjoyed it. I think Bro. Joseph does a wonderful job and everyone there works really good together. They set a great example for the kids. I will post picks later when I have more time.
I wanted to give a quick update on my diet. I have lost 3.4 lbs this week. When I loose 3 more pounds I will be back to where I was before all of the funerals. That is going to be when loosing starts getting fun. I am not excercising this week because of VBS. We will see what burns more calories, VBS or Excecising, next week when I weigh in. LOL!!
Hope everyone is having a great week. I know I am!!

Diet Updat
I only lost 1lb this week but I am not giving up. I started eating off of a small plate at dinner instead of a dinner plate. This has helped a lot with portion control. Tomorrow I start excercising for 1hr instead of 30min. We will see how it goes. I am determined not to give up even if it takes me a year to loose 30 lbs.
I also started a little weightloss counter on the bottom of my blog.

Don't Give Up
Don't beat yourself up because you are not what you want to be or because you can't give what you want to give. Just be and give your best and eventually you will be.

Diet Update
Well this week I didn't do as well as I had hoped. I lost 2.4lbs, which is very close to my goal(2.5lbs). I am happy with it considering I am getting all the "bugs out" of my diet plan.
I did very well only drinking water and not eating sweets. Sweets are my weakness.
I excercised almost everyday. Which I am going to do better and excerise EVERYDAY except Sunday. I didn't excercise Monday and I was dragging all day. Today when I excercised I immediately had so much more energy. That has given me extra motivation.
My BIG problem has been portion control. I think that I have been having problems with my blood sugar which has caused me to majorly over eat. I have decided (thanks to Sis. Hallford) to eat 6 small meals a day instead of 3 regular meals.
Well I am on my way to loosing weight and feeling better. This blog and your comments has really helped and motivated me. Please leave ANY advice that you feel might help. I really appreciate it.

Debbie Downer
Well I just got another call, my mother's uncle died. This makes the 7th death this year. This is also the first one that I am not going to get to go to. Which is sad because I really loved my Aunt and Uncle but truthfully I am tired of funerals and I don't think that I could handle another one. After my dad died every funeral that I go to gets harder and harder.
I think that it is very important to go to funerals even if you don't do anything but give the family a hug and let them know that you are praying for them and that you love them.
At my dad's funeral I realized that it is the little things people do that mean sooo much.
My Aunt and Uncle are great Godly examples. I have watched them go through horrible things in thier lives and they ALWAYS remained faithful to God. They always gave him the glory even when all you could see was the bad. When my dad died my Aunt was in some sort of hospital and she checked herself out so her and my uncle could come to the viewing.
Anyways I don't mean to be a Debbie Downer. It just makes me feel better to get it off my chest so to speak. I will be ok. I am going to go get some paint and paint something. I will either be destructive or productive either way I will feel better. LOL!!

Dieting
I am going on a diet! My goal is to loose 30lbs by Oct. 1. I would love to loose 40 but I am trying to keep it real. That means I need to loose about 2.5 pounds a week. I just got finished exercising and it was harder than I remembered so I decided to blog my experience. Maybe if I know that I have to blog my results I will stick to it. LOL I weighed on Tuesday night so I will blog my weight loss every Wednesday morning.
If anyone has any weight loss tips I would love to hear them. My plan right now is to exercise 30 min a day, drink water only and cut down on my portions.
Wish me luck!!

Censorship
I have read two stories today about censorship.
The first story someone had a graphic picture of a young girl dying and they felt they had a first amendment right to show everyone this picture even though the family did not want anyone to see it. They cried foul because they were being censored.
The second story was of a teacher who wanted her students to read a book that the school board told her not to pass out to the kids. She did it any way and was suspended for a year and a half. She got upset because her STUDENTS were being censored.
Since when did the word CENSOR become a bad word. YES! I censor EVERYTHING that I watch/read and I especially censor everything my children watch/read.
Lam 3:51 Mine eye affecteth mine heart....
I think that a better word for censor would be shelter. I shelter my mind and my children's mind from the things this world wants lack of cencorship from.
