New Day 1's

I'm back! I've been away for a while and of course that means I was naughty with my eating. I'm back on though and can't wait to continue my weight loss journey. A journey it is....and a hard one at that. I've been working on getting organized at home all weekend since being back from a little vacation we took. This year I actually had vacation time and we went camping to Lake San Antonio by Paso Robles. It was totally relaxing and we had such a great time. Especially the kids! I had bought a 3 burner heavy duty camping stove and I am SO glad I did. It came in really handy. I bought it for my up and coming business but thought I'd try it out camping. It worked like a charm.

I've been thinking about my business a lot and how I REALLY want to get it off the ground but lack of funds is really holding me back. It's going to take aT LEAST $3000more dollars to be confident in what I'm doing. God has really blessed me already and I know He will continue to help me!! Let me tell you that He blessed me with a F R E E generator (portable gasoline powered electric output machine). Yep it's true! This was going to be one of my more major expense at roughly $500 for a high powered one and I got it free. My husband was at the chiropractor, I was early from picking him up so I stoped off at a yard sale and right next door I see this guy setting stuff outside the curb, I spotted what I *thought was a generator but thought "Naw, now way"...I walked over, asked him if it was a generator, he said "yes and it works". He said "take it it's FREE". WHAT!!!??? My husband called me and said he was ready and I told him what was going on, he was only around the corner and I told him I was trying to load it onto the van but it was heavy. He walked over and we put it in. Yesterday he tested it and it runs! I mean you can't tell me there is no God. WHAT ARE THE ODDS??? If He doesn't want something to happen it won't happen. The quality of life on this earth is dependant upon your obedience to Him. I already know I'm going to heaven when I die but I want to make my life on this earth a bit more pleasant.

I was sitting in church yesterday.....and as the preacher was preaching....I thought....wow...we are so not being faithful to Him. He's so faithful to us and we just disregard it. TV has been a MAJOR distraction in my house for the past few months. Last night my husband said NO TV...and I was really struggling with it. It's like an addiction in a sense. That TV does need to be off! We need to study more...we need more focus in our lives. I am confident that if that TV stays off, we'll be able to get so much more accomplished.

My small kids do need some "duh" time as I call it..only for 1 hour a day though! So I am putting up their small TV in their room so they can watch TV in there and the rest of us don't get distracted. Wow...sorry this post is totally scattered all of the place. I'm getting to a good place though I promise. God Bless.
