Bread of Life...

Bread Making Day!


    Today I am investing my time in Bread making and Laundry! I funny mix I would say but besides my other important duties (like Child rearing) this day is a welcome joy! Seeing the fruit of my labour.

    While grinding I stopped and felt lead to read Ps 41. It blessed me, It gave me a grateful and thankful heart.  I want to give thanks to those that have helped my family in our times of need and have truly blessed us to prosper and grow. We know it is not in our own strength but that of Messiah Yahushua! But just wanted to write a quick note of my grateful Heart for those of you out there that have blessed us with your joy and your giving & your PURE LOVE for Messiah Yahushua and for others! I love you all.

THE NEW LOOK!

Mat 6:25  “Because of this I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you shall eat or drink, or about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than the food and the body more than the clothing?
Mat 6:26  “Look at the birds of the heaven, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into storehouses, yet your heavenly Father does feed them. Are you not worth more than they?
Mat 6:27  “And which of you by worrying is able to add one cubit to his life’s span?
Mat 6:28  “So why do you worry about clothing? Note well the lilies of the field, how they grow. They neither toil nor spin,
Mat 6:29  and I say to you that even Shelomoh in all his esteem was not dressed like one of these.
Mat 6:30  “But if Elohim so clothes the grass of the field, which exists today, and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more you, O you of little belief?
Mat 6:31  “Do not worry then, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
Mat 6:32  “For all these the gentiles seek for. And your heavenly Father knows that you need all these.
Mat 6:33  “But seek first the reign of Elohim, and His righteousness, and all these matters shall be added to you.
Mat 6:34  “Do not, then, worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow shall have its own worries. Each day has enough evil of itself. 

   My life is in constant change! From nap schedules to diaper duty and potty training, to Gabe's altering business schedule! So much has changed since I first started my weight loss blog, but since Then I have lost 30lbs gained back 5lbs and now dropped back down 7lbs! This season I am in constant juggle of what is needed to be done in our household. So my blog has changed to just that.... something that fits with my homelife career... baking bread, washing cloths, teaching children, creativity in my home. learning to live without, learning to make it myself, learning to unlearn...... The point I guess is thriving in my environment while maintaining and losing weight. I am still on that trek to lose weight (& will be forever Running the Race) and be healthy but I am doing it in my daily walk, my daily life. While learning to use wisdom and discernment. Adjusting myself and learning to adapt in any situation, weighting out the consequences! So there you have it.... the new look and name of this HomeLife Journey! HalleluYAH!

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!
