30 minutes done!

Crash and Burned but Back and Rebuilding!!

  Wow. What a busy and disappointing (eating wise) few months. I didn't succeed in my desire to keep going in my last plan. But I am back! I gained 5 lbs from my wayward eating. (Thankful it was only 5lbs!) 

   Gabe and I took a test on Dr. Mercola's website about nutritional type. Found out some pretty neat things about our diet and about the "traditional" breakfast and how it is actually not a great way to start our day. I found out I was a "mixed type" and Gabe was a "protein type". I am starting to put some of the stuff I have read to practice. The past few mornings I have been having a high protein breakfast consisting of: Chicken, Quinoa, eggs, & a vegetable. Sounds like dinner, doesn't it? But oh the energy I have have and how lite I felt afterwards to start my day. His plan encourages going Gluten-Free for the first 60 days, I haven't been completely doing that since my household has many glutenous foods, trying to eat it minimally until all is gone, would love the throw it out but being a "tight time" in our household, we need to be wise and not wasteful. So slowly I begin this change! But I am stopping the sugar again, except for like my tea's and I bet as time progresses I will get rid of that as well. 

 So I am beginning again. I have 79 days till Sukkot and my desire is to lose another 30lbs. I began this time with 84 days and I have been on this new thing for about 5 days. I have also added an exercise schedule to everyday (except Sabbath). Kind of like a " Me time", the children just play around me. 

 I ask for your prayers, I pray Yahweh give me strength! Help me to overcome the things that have easily beset me! AGAIN!

Yahweh Bless & 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.

This is what I call "Squash Goulash" Spagetti Squash w/Steak, sauteed Carrots, gr peppers, onions, sweet potato, & feta cheese. seasoned w/some salt & pepper & oil. YUM!

Success!

The beginning!

just about 25lbs gone...

 Good morning my fellow runners! It has been a while since I posted, but I wanted you to know I met my goal of 30lbs in just under three months... Praise Yahweh! He is worthy to be praised, for it was only in His strength through Yahushua I was able to conquer my first goal, sad news is though I did not keep up on my Candida plan.... I know I am in need of getting back on it, because the last two weeks, well almost three I have been on a plato and I have been picking up on eating sweets. I want to use the excuse it was my 5th year anniversary to my wonderful and supporting Husband. But really there is no excuse... 

 I'm not wanting to stop. I have started my new goal of another 30lbs by August 16th. My desire is to lose 75lbs in the year of 2011... I've conquer 30lbs now I have 45 more to go! Yahoo!! 

 I ask you to keep me in your prayers for I know there are still many area's in my life that need work, I see so many things that came back into habit within only a week! Not good! But I see it.... I see it so clearly, I see how when I get tired I grab for something easy and fulfilling. I see that if I buy it I partake of it, even noticing how I have picked up on bigger portions and coming away feeling overly full and I do not like that feeling. So I'm starting to make these notes in my brain, I need to write them down so I can visibly see where my weaknesses lie. 

 One thing I know I need not to do is beat myself up... these last few weeks have been wonderful but also discouraging. I get to where I start thinking bad thoughts and I forget the great victory I have had and then begin focusing on the wrong choices I have made these past few weeks which lead to more wrong choices. Food has no hold on me, but I am seeing if I allow these negative thoughts to control my actions, I may fall prey to those temptations once more. So I'm learning that it is okay to have certain things as long as I can control the consumption of those certain things. 

 I'm excited to be wearing clothes that I haven't wore since before I was married. I put on my Wedding dress a month or so back! Shocked... That I was able to fit into it. What a rewarding feeling to see results!!  HalleluYAH!! Yahweh Be PRAISED!!

2Co 2:14  But thanks be to Elohim who always leads us on, to overcome in Messiah, and manifests through us the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.



 A bad habit I have picked up is stepping on the scale daily, almost several times daily... bad bad bad. I see how I allow what the scale says to alter my emotions. On Good days I'm jubilant but on bad days I'm down & thinking on all my mistakes. I'm now going to STOP daily scale reading leaving it to only once a week. Like making a special time for myself to write down my stats for the week, and maybe start making mini goals of changes or workouts... nothing to big just to help spice things up to keep me focused and not bored.

 My children and husband are my biggest influences in this time. Their joy and adventurous nature challenges me to desire that as well. I want to seek out adventures with them so we can work at this together. Here lately I have been walking/jogging around my backyard so the my boys can play and I can walk! haha it is quite funny and probably strange to my neighbors but I feel great knowing my children can have some fun playing while mommy can watch and walk at the same time. The boys think it is funny and they will try to get in my way and then I attack them with growls and tickles, then we both are caught up in giggles and then back to walking again. Sometimes they will even hold my hand  and walk with me, (more me dragging them along to keep up, I think they do that on purpose to get a free ride!) haha... Shiloh has even hitched a ride piggy-back style. So I'm learning to be creative in the "I have three children, three and younger, who can't be left behind!" So i make them part of my routine or whatever type of routine I have for the day. always seems to change periodically! daily! hourly! minutely! haha....

Psa 127:3  Look, children are an inheritance from יהוה, The fruit of the womb is the reward.

 And what a reward they are... 

 So I am excited for what lies ahead.... Please once again keep me in your prayers. I truly desire this set-apart healthy life style for myself and my family. I need guidance and strength through Messiah Yahushua that I can withstand against the enemy and his desire to see me fail.


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.
Eph 6:12  Because we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against authorities, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual matters of wickedness in the heavenlies.
Eph 6:13  Because of this, take up the complete armour of Elohim, so that you have power to withstand in the wicked day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph 6:14  Stand, then, having girded your waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
Eph 6:15  and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace;
Eph 6:16  above all, having taken up the shield of belief with which you shall have power to quench all the burning arrows of the wicked one.
Eph 6:17  Take also the helmet of deliverance, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of Elohim,1 Footnote: 1Isa. 59:21.
Eph 6:18  praying at all times, with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the set-apart ones;
Eph 6:19  also for me, that a word might be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to be bold in making known the secret of the Good News,


 HalleluYAH! 

Let's RUN!

Does a momma good!

This mornings smoothie! two handfuls spinach, 4oz carrot juice, 6oz coconut milk, three small slices of an apple, half of a medium banana, tablespoon vitamin mix, heaping tablespoon almond butter. blend baby blend! oh my word delicious and perfect blend of sweetness w/ a hint of creamy nuttiness!

Day 74/Day 41....In the hard times.

 I'm in a stage right now where moving forward and looking backwards at the same time is going to harm you. Especially your walk in Faith with Messiah. It's hard to explain, and really has nothing to do with my eating but has everything to do with my attitude and my strength. Which if failing can have an impact on my eating and my entire well being because as many as you know this flesh means nothing but my spiritual walk everything! Gabriel and I & our three little blessings are going through a time right now... or maybe it is just me! Meaning there is a path ahead of us but it has this HUGE question mark right in the middle of it.... I'm not saying it has to do with who we believe in, more just that the journey that lays ahead is one that is wide open to anything and everything...where, how, when and with whom? haha... I'm probably confusing you, aren't I! The unknown awaits us... but I'm more willing to control it so I have an idea of what's going on, instead of fully allowing Yahweh 100% control.

 I have a hard time adjusting to this type of faith... believing all things will be taken care of and I just sit back and wait..... and wait......... wait....... and wait some more. I know I sound bad. faithless. honestly I sound like a weepy brat who wants her way just cause it feels better than to have HIS WAY! I ask you to forgive me... but I'm really trying to understand this journey because I want it with my whole heart but I'm so afraid of the unknown that I become foolish and weak in my thinking and allow the enemy to have a Hay Day with my emotions, and yes that is all this is.... EMOTIONS... I have become emotional (I could justifie it because I am a mommy of 3 young children but that would be wrong, I'm still accountable none-the-less). unwilling to deal with the fact that all is being handled, it's just the "unknown factor". You'd think by now I would have learned because of course this is not the first time I've had to learn this lesson. Yet I'm still failing the execution to bring about courage and hope for whats to come. Maybe it's because I see it everyday... you know the home life, the waiting gets harder cause I'm the one moving about in the functions that become hard to function??? I know once again you must be thinking I've lost it! But I'm trying to write this like I feel inside. 

 So as I write I also become encouraged because I feel the Ruach show me examples of the unknown like the Israelite's coming out of Egypt! What more of the unknown could that be.... yet they too had there trials but they did end up making it to the Promise land (exdous 3 starts Moses journey.. but goes into many books..). Then there is The three hebrew servants Rack, Shack and Bendy! (Daniel 3) Actually their reals names were Hananiah, Azaryah and Mishel. Think of their unknown but yet that didn't stop them from Honoring their Heavenly Father even unto death if that be so. There are so many things that encourage me to quit straying with my mind and start trusting with my heart! 

Psa 39:7  “And now, יהוה, what do I wait for? My expectancy is in You.

Psa 37:9  For evil-doers are cut off; But those who wait on יהוה, They shall inherit the earth

Psa 42:5  Why are you depressed, O my being? And why are you restless within me? Wait for Elohim: for I shall yet thank Him, For the deliverance of His face!

Psa 52:9  I thank You forever, Because You have done it; And in the presence of Your kind ones I wait on Your Name, for it is good.

Psa 59:9  O my Strength, I wait for You; For Elohim is my strong tower, My Elohim of kindness.

Psa 71:14  But I continually wait, And shall praise You more and more.


There are many upon many scritpures that speak of waiting... But that last one hit me hard. I have forgotten to praise Him in this time. this time of the "unknown" I should be praising and lifting up my hands and heart and voice to my maker. It is so vital... yet I have missed that. I will truly tell you that I have felt it too.

  I must end here though (little ones need naps)... But I want you to know I'm going to choose to praise... I'm going to walk away from this laptop and lift my voice in prayer and thanksgiving for all the many blessings and beautiful gifts he has given and for what lies ahead. I will choose right this moment and offer up my praise and honor Him. For He is worthy of it all. I ask you though please keep us in your prayers for so many things lay ahead... I pray we walk rightly and righteously towards Yahushua Messiah! For that is all the is important...


HalleluYAH!


Let's RUN!
