Day 52/ Day 19..... 20lbs. GONE. YAYAYAYAYAYAYA!!

Okay so maybe I went overboard on the YAYAYAYAY But really YAYAYAYAYA!! I am so excited. I am so pumped! This is the most I have ever lost ever in one time. 

  How am I doing? I am doing great, been a few struggles but all in all I have stuck to the goal and the task at hand, which honestly really encourages me because I haven't been able to break these ugly things for so long and I sometimes mourn that I allowed it to be my comfort. I know I have said that many times in my blog and it may play like a broken record but I am still learning everyday.

  I have had to moderate my candida plan, meaning get rid of a few more things for just a couple weeks... like corn, potato's, sweet potato's, all different types of beans and the like. so I have down sized to not a big selection of food but I'm okay with that, I didn't come all this way to give up now. I'm learning that this isn't just a 83 day thing or a three month thing it is a forever change to my lifestyle. I no longer can exercise the way I used to live. I can no longer eat some of the things that were part of my everyday. I know you must be thinking but?? what?? then?? now?? how?? haha, well... I don't want that old nature back, I don't want to fall into a routine of junkie sady again, I want to keep myself accountable everyday to living a life that is simple and healthy.

2Co 5:17  Therefore, if anyone is in Messiah, he is a renewed creature – the old matters have passed away, see, all matters have become renewed!

Eph 4:22  that you put off – with regard to your former way of life – the old man, being corrupted according to the desires of the deceit,
Eph 4:23  and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
Eph 4:24  and that you put on the renewed man1 which was created according to Elohim, in righteousness and set-apartness of the truth.

 20lbs gone and that is just from eating differently, learning portion control, ignoring the cravings (which now rarely bother me), and enjoying my life with my family. I feel amazing, I'm not sure I can tell much of the weight change only by the way my cloths feel. I'm still in need of a good workout routine, but most of the time I don't have the time to do anything unless it is a walk and even now it have been to cold for the children to be riding around in the stroller. Hopefully soon though we will be outdoors again! Can't wait for those days...    

Psa 139:14  I give thanks to You, For I am awesomely and wondrously made! Wondrous are Your works, And my being knows it well.

 I can not begin to tell you the incredible strength I feel when I turn my days to my Heavenly Father and ask Him what should be my direction for each day. My prayer is that in all I do I do for Him! He isn't just someone I believe in casually, He is an important role in every area of who I am! So I give Him thanks and praise for all He has given me in this time! I'm not only shedding "my chubs" but I am shedding the "outer man".


2Co 4:15  For all this is for your sake, so that favour, having spread through the many, would cause thanksgiving to overflow, unto the esteem of Elohim.
2Co 4:16  Therefore we do not lose heart, but even if our outward man is perishing, the inward man is being renewed day by day.
2Co 4:17  For this slight momentary pressure, is working for us a far more exceeding and everlasting weight of esteem.
2Co 4:18  We are not looking on what is seen, but on what is not seen. For what is seen passes away, but what is not seen is everlasting. 


HalleluYah, I am very grateful that I haven't lost sight of what I am wanting to obtain. I want my heart to be pure as I journey this race. That I would not lose sight of my goal in being restored from the damage I have cause due to the lack of self-control. That I would hold on to the the words spoken in 1st Peter:

1Pe 3:8  To sum up, let all of you be like-minded, sympathetic, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, humble-minded,
1Pe 3:9  not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, in order to inherit a blessing.
1Pe 3:10  For “He who wishes to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit,
1Pe 3:11  let him turn away from evil and do good, let him seek peace and pursue it.
1Pe 3:12  “Because the eyes of יהוה are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers, but the face of יהוה is against those who do evil.”


Tit 2:3  the older women likewise are to be set-apart in behaviour, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of what is good,
Tit 2:4  in order for them to train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

Tit 2:5  to be sensible, blameless, workers at home, good, subject to their own husbands, in order that the word of Elohim is not evil spoken of. 


Those words are not easy to hear, sometimes because they strike cords in my heart that I need to do more in guarding my tongue and my thoughts. So that what I say and do would shine forth unto the One most high, that people would see in me the "the Joy of Yahweh being my strength!" HalleluYAH! He is, oh my friends, HE IS!! I can't speak enough of His mercies and kindness to this wayward girl, who can get just as stubborn and rebellious as the sky turns blue in the morning! I am forever thankful and in love with the Maker of the Universe. He has done great and marvelous wonders in Gabriel and I's life, even in my babies too! His hand has been upon us and it has been steadfast.

 I encourage you all to search out your relationship to the one who created you, I bet you will find strength to overcome alot more then you think! HalleluYAH! I'm living proof... I'm not saying it is going to be easy, but it is a start to who I know Yahweh has created you to be. Yahweh Be with you this day and may the light of Yahushua shine forth in you BRIGHTLY!


... Let's RUN!

Day 43/Day10......... Idea's & Misc material.

Jer 29:11  ‘For I know the plans I am planning for you,’ declares יהוה, ‘plans of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and an expectancy.

  Those words hit me today when I read them. It was a great reminder that when we give over the obstacles we face to our Heavenly Father and follow His ways, He will raise us up and help us to overcome the things that cause us to stumble and the things that we allow in our lives due to lack of time with Him. To know that He has plans that bypass our mere thought to a future, is incredible!! He is bigger, better, and most diligent to teach us and show us our weak area's and help us to overcome ourselves. It is hard, very hard. Hard to tell my flesh, NO! I have literally had to bridle my very body from it's wayward ways. I remember one time I wanted my morning coffee (actually it was Teeccino herbal non caff a no coffee, coffee! lol.) with Honey and Goats milk, But I had just started my candida plan.... my thoughts to myself were " oh, it's fine! it won't hurt if I have little bit". So, after telling myself that I got up went to the kitchen opened the cabinet and I heard this silent "No, you are okay... you don't need it." I stopped looked into the cabinet thinking it was going to encourage me to bypass the silent voice (The Ruach/Set-apart Spirit). Instead I closed the doors and walked away. He was there, in my moment of pure weakness He came to my rescue! I am so thankful and grateful to a loving Maker who saw to my need and gave me strength. HalleluYAH!

  For those that would like to know what or how I am making our meals, Well so far we have been whipping up some crazy recipes, we are kind of winging it. But I do have this book Gabe had gotten me a ways back about Candida control. I love it just cause it gives some pretty tasty recipes but it also helps with what foods are problems and what foods I should be eating. I encourage you to check it out.... 


Here is a link to a book review of the cookbook!:

http://yeastfreeliving.com/2010/02/03/the-candida-control-cookbook-book-review/ 


  I haven't yet tried the recipes but I'm finding it handy to seeing what I should and shouldn't eat! I remember getting this book and wanting to throw it across the room because I didn't want to change my lifestyle and eat (at the time) nothing tasty! haha I was wrong...I have enjoyed every dish we have whipped up. Mainly just veggies and meat, but oh how good it has been.

  Also check out some websites about the Candida plan or diet, even found good recipes too... 

Here are a few:
http://www.everydiet.org/diet/candida-diet
http://www.thecandidadiet.com/foodstoavoid.htm
http://www.thecandidadiet.com/foodstoeat.htm      please read disclaimer
http://www.thecandidadiet.com/recipes.htm                        below!

*Disclaimer* I found www.thecandidadiet.com very informative but I do not like the immodesty that is shown in some of the pictures so I ask you to please keep children away from the computer screen when checking out that site, we have a filter for pictures so I do not see them so I ask you to use great care to protect those that might be tempted by the photos, even for yourself.     

  So that's a start! I hope you find it informative to help you along your path!! 


I'm gonna have to end it here.... Yahweh Bless you this day and the rest of the week!


Let's Run!

My White Bean, Venison & Sweet Potato chili.

Day 41/Day 8. Head Held High.

Isa 40:28  Did you not know? Have you not heard? The everlasting Elohim, יהוה, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.
Isa 40:29  He gives power to the faint, and to those who have no might He increases strength.
Isa 40:30  Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men stumble and fall,
Isa 40:31  but those who wait on יהוה renew their strength, they raise up the wing like eagles, they run and are not weary, they walk and do not faint. 


  Those scriptures truly speak volumes into my life, Especially right now! Those statements are true, because I can feel them in my daily walk and as I run this race. I am so grateful for this time and for this strength I have received so far. I see myself better, I see myself changing, I see myself desiring the better end of Health, not the quick fix. That I truly want to take time to overcome the wrong I have done to myself. I think for the longest time I always wanted the quick fix, you know like the "24-hour celebrity diet drink" that went around for a while and my still be out there. I never did that, but don't think I didn't ever want to try it. I did. Sad, yeah! Think about all the time I spent thinking on how to make it easier for myself when in all that "thinking" I wasted 12 years! 12 YEARS! In those 12 years I gained even more weight and I picked up some ugly habits. 
   So back to my main point... I feel like I am seeing myself in a whole new light that I am a different person. I'm stronger and more readily willing to think things out. I'm making choices for myself that will benefit me in the long run, instead of the instant feel good notion. YAY! I'm not saying that we won't splurge once in a while but maybe in that time of splurging we will consider making it wholesome and beneficial to our health. I'm enjoying this time and enjoying the feeling of being more conscientious ! Thank You YAHWEH! HalleluYAH!

I pray you all are well and striving for the better in yourself through Messiah Yahushua!

Let's Run!

Day 35... another change...

  I have some new news! My race is being extended to June 12th, but my goal of 30lbs is still on for May 1st. but will be excited to see what goals I will start setting beyond that time.

  I'm going to get personal here: I have battled with a Candida overgrowth for some time..... well... just about 8 years. For so long I just ignored it, I wasn't willing to give up my lifestyle for it. I will tell you by ignoring it, I still suffered through it. I have it in a couple places on my body... oh does it itch itch itch... of course my way of treating it was to scratch, though the problem is not outward but inward I needed to change my eating habits. Well since I have been on this "Race" with my weight and my sugar problems, Gabe and I decided to keep going and start up our Candida Diet plan. I will say my flesh was much against this Idea, just the fact of having to give up my natural sweets (as in fruit, dried fruit, honey, maple syrup, wheat, milk, cheese and the list goes on.) brought me back to square one once more. I'm not running this Race to fancy my flesh, to make it feel good, but in fact of getting comfortable with another routine yet still living with pains from my old lifestyle. So we are striping down this race to bare essentials.


Candida : any of a genus (Candida) of parasitic fungi that resemble yeasts, occur especially in the mouth, vagina, and intestinal tract where they are usually benign but can become pathogenic, and have been grouped with the imperfect fungi but are now often placed with the ascomycetes; especially : one (C. albicans) causing thrush  (www.merriam-webster.com)

I am still in shock and kind of scared to go completely cold turkey like this, I even cried in my kitchen while fixing lunch. I know it will be hard. It will be a lifestyle unlike any other (for me that is). 


Foods I can Eat: Vegetables, Proteins (beef, chicken, eggs & fish), Live Yoghurt Cultures, Nuts and Seeds (except peanuts), oils, herbal teas, NON-glutenous grains (buckwheat, millet, amaranth, wild or brown rice, Quinoa), Herbs and Spices, Sea Salt & Lemon Juice, certain types of oils & Apple Cider Vinegar.


Foods I can not Eat: Sugars, fresh fruit, dried fruit, canned fruit, fruit juice, Glutinous Grains (wheat, rye, barley, oats...etc.), caffeine and teas, Alcohol, certain types of fats and oils, cheese, additives and preservatives, vinegars (except for Apple Cider) 


  Though I am overwhelmed I am also like "I have got to do this" I have been praying and praying for this to go away, but all I can hear is Yahweh saying "it's time to let go and time to overcome". I feel His peace, I know if I were completely restored from this candida (I know I could be by faith through Yahushua the Messiah) I know I would be right back to eating a poor diet giving the flesh an excuse. I know Yahweh is about victory and overcoming, He wants us to be free, not lazy. not full of excuses. He wants to see His people thrive on what he has created to eat not what man has made up to make life easier. We have to remember healing can come but we have to know how to maintain that healing, how to use discernment with the way we treat our bodies.

Rom 12:1  I call upon you, therefore, brothers, through the compassion of Elohim, to present your bodies a living offering – set-apart, well-pleasing to Elohim – your reasonable worship.
Rom 12:2  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you prove what is that good and well-pleasing and perfect desire of Elohim.


  I want to maintain not only an outward health but an inward as well. So, I am all for this change, it is not going to be easy but I started this Race 35 days ago and You know what, I prayed to see victory in my life and this is something I thought I couldn't do, I'm now going to do this through the strength of my Yahushua.

Php 4:13  I have strength to do all, through Messiah who empowers me.

Eph 6:10  For the rest, my brothers, be strong in the Master and in the mightiness of His strength.
Eph 6:11  Put on the complete armour of Elohim, for you to have power to stand against the schemes of the devil.



1Peter 4:11  If anyone speaks, let it be as the Words of Elohim. If anyone serves, let it be as with the strength which Elohim provides, so that Elohim might be praised in it all through יהושע Messiah, to whom belong the esteem and the rule forever and ever. Amĕn.


 I pray that in all I do I do it for my Heavenly Father, that His esteem be shown through it all. I'm excited to see victory in my health. For myself, for my Hubby and for my children. To know they aren't going to battle my battles of food addiction. They aren't going to need food to fulfill who they are. They aren't going to "live to eat", they are going to "Eat to Live". (neither am I NOW!) HalleluYAH! HALLELUYAH!

 So now here I go this is Day 35 but also Day 2. haha....I ask all you out there reading this to once again be my prayer partners for this time of understanding and overcoming obstacles that lay ahead. that I would find FREEDOM for my whole health. FREEDOM! HalleluYAH!

Let's Run!

Day 31.... 13lbs in 30 days.

Where to begin in all that I feel I am learning on this journey. One thing is I know I am not alone in this race. There are many I know out there striving for a goal, a race to overcome those things that have easily beset them. Praise Yahweh we are overcoming! Here are a few things I feel I am learning about weight and about eating.

1. Pray. Pray to understand the reasons behind your habits.

2. Realize that is it not the weight you are battling, the weight is the harvest of what you have sown.

3. What are you sowing?

4. Cut the habit don't substitute it.

5. Walk in the fruit of the Spirit:
             Gal 5:22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, trustworthiness,
             Gal 5:23  gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no Torah.

6.  The opposite of the fruit is:

             Gal 5:19  And the works of the flesh are well-known, which are these: adultery,1 whoring, uncleanness, indecency,
             Gal 5:20  idolatry, drug sorcery, hatred, quarrels, jealousies, fits of rage, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions,
             Gal 5:21  envy, murders, drunkenness, wild parties, and the like – of which I forewarn you, even as I also said before, that those who practise such as these shall not inherit the reign of Elohim.


7. Go back to #5

8. PHILIPPIANS 4:13
             Php 4:13  I have strength to do all, through Messiah1 who empowers me.

These things have helped me to understand myself, my failures and my weaknesses! Praise be to our Heavenly Father who leads the way!

Psa 23:1  יהוה is my shepherd; I do not lack.
Psa 23:2  He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters.
Psa 23:3  He turns back my being; He leads me in paths of righteousness For His Name’s sake.
Psa 23:4  When I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil. For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Psa 23:5  You spread before me a table in the face of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup runs over.
Psa 23:6  Only goodness and kindness follow me All the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the House of יהוה, To the length of days!



 It is true I have lost 13lbs within 30 days.  I have been doing sit ups on a workout ball, started out doing 200 now I am to 250, I do these every other day ( I have missed a few days due to busy schedules or sabbath). I don't do much for the exercise area, sometimes I'll turn on some music and dance/exercise with the children (they love it) But majority of the weight loss has been from my eating habits, I'm not really counting calories just because I am still nursing so I am making sure I am eating! but from just cutting sweets out of my diet has been HUGE! I am using natural sweeteners like raw honey and Pure Maple Syrup. I have noticed Honey and maple syrup hasn"t caused me to crave sugar but I am trying to make sure not to use it often. (Mainly use it for my teas)  I give thanks to my Yahweh for the strength took to make it these 31 days! WOW 31 DAYS! I'm in shock to that! My cravings have lightened up at home.... but going out, they do hit hard at times.  I have 52 more days to lose another 17 lbs..... Doesn't seem like much, but I know I have got to trust Yahweh to be my strength and lean not on my own understandings....

Pro 3:5  Trust in יהוה with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;
Pro 3:6  Know Him in all your ways, And He makes all your paths straight.



Psa 107:1  Give thanks to יהוה! For He is good, For His kindness is everlasting.


So I will close with this prayer:

      Abba Yahweh Thank you! Thank you for all that you are doing in me and in my friends around all over the world. I ask for your continual guidance and strength in our times of weakness and confusion. We need you! We need Yahuhsua and the grace you have given us to walk this set-apart path. Help me not to lose focus or lose myself to the fleshly ways of this world. I love you YAHWEH! Thank you for all you have done and all that you are doing. It is only in Yahushua's name I pray. AMIEN!   


HALLELUYAH! Let's RUN!!

Day 27.

   Yesterday My husband and I did our bulk shopping for the month. It was fun because we were together and my mom watched the boys but it was overwhelming just because we went to an unfamiliar place called Omaha, Nebraska! lol. We hit Whole foods (I have missed it) and Costco (good ole faithful). While at both places though, my body slipped back into the old habitual clockwork of cravings... there were Isle's at these stores with enticing yummy treats for one person to enjoy continually! Now that I have been on this Race for 27 days (well 26 yesterday) It wasn't so hard the first few times, but as the day progressed so did the cravings.... I did not let my flesh win! Still though it shakes me to my core how I had let myself become molded by the things around me. How temptation broke me into submission. I still cry sometimes seeing how long I let it go! This time around I didn't allow myself to look or check out these isle's of temptation... I stayed on the path of good foods. (fresh, raw, ripe, natural) But even then I had to make choices ahead of time so as to not let myself have room to make excuses. Gabe was a major help as well! He saw to encourage me in my times of weakness! I am reminded of Psalm 18:



Psa 18:28  For You Yourself light my lamp; יהוה my Elohim makes my darkness light.
Psa 18:29  For with You I run against a band, And with my Elohim I leap over a wall.
Psa 18:30  The Ěl – His way is perfect; The Word of יהוה is proven1; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
Psa 18:31  For who is Eloah, besides יהוה? And who is a rock, except our Elohim?
Psa 18:32  It is Ěl who girds me with strength, And makes my way perfect,
Psa 18:33  Making my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places,
Psa 18:34  Teaching my hands for battle, So that my arms shall bend a bow of bronze.
Psa 18:35  And You give me the shield of Your deliverance; And Your right hand supports me, And Your lowliness makes me great.
Psa 18:36  You enlarge my step under me; And my feet shall not slip.
Psa 18:37  I pursue my enemies and overtake them; And do not turn back till they are destroyed.
Psa 18:38  I crush them, and they are unable to rise; They fall under my feet.
Psa 18:39  And You gird me with strength for battle; Cause my adversaries to bow under me.


How wonderful is that!?! To know I have strength to win this fight, this battle over my flesh! Yesterday I saw victory in my life... I saw the strength of Yahweh bring me to a place of overcoming myself and pursuing freedom for my life. HalleluYAH! 

I am ready to keep going... I'm going to Run this Race! 

Let's Run.

Day 23. Joy comes in the morning!

             It's early here at the DeLapp house, My husband Gabe just left for work and I am here sitting in the quiet. I hear the hum of Lily's swing and sit in front of our window in my rocking chair soaking up some early morning sunshine. As I sit here i am grateful, I checked the scale this morning and I am excited to say I have lost 10lbs so far on this journey. The best part is it is due to really just my change of eating habits. I am doing my 250 sit-ups every other day. I get to have an occasional walk if the weather is nice and of course my daily routine with my three very busy babes. But to know I am down 10lbs gets me excited to start this month of march in a pumped up way. Yay! 

           
            I hear my two little boys now talking to each other, greeting each other like it has been a couple days since seeing each other.  haha, how they bring me joy! So that means I am about to go into full swing for the day!


Psa 30:1  I exalt You, O יהוה, for You have drawn me up, And have not let my enemies rejoice over me. 

Psa 31:7  I exult and rejoice in Your kindness, For You have seen my affliction; You have known the distresses of my life,

Psa 35:9  But let my own being exult in יהוה; Let it rejoice in His deliverance. 

Psa 92:4  For You have made me rejoice with Your work, O יהוה, I shout for joy at the works of Your hands.

Psa 96:11  Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;

    I am rejoicing for I have seen victory in my life and I am rejoicing because the One who made me has helped me to overcome myself!! I don't know what the next 60 days entail but I am excited because the first 23 days have been a success!  Praise YAHWEH!

Let's RUN!

Heb 12:1  We too, then, having so great a cloud of witnesses all around us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race set before us,
Heb 12:2  looking to the Princely Leader and Perfecter of our belief, יהושע, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the stake, having despised the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of Elohim.
