MEOW

I never thought I'd be a crazy cat lady...well...maybe I had some inclination I would be but.. When I sat down on the couch after being gone all day, my Jag (cat/son) sat in my lap and just love love loved on me. I started to think....He's not use to being home alone several days in a row-I'm gonna be gone Mon-Thursday...then gone all day and night fri-sun morning...oh dear. This may seem absurd to some, and as you may already know...I don't care. I have already cried over it. I am feeling sad about it. My husband will be home to accompany him on the days I am absent, but it's not the same. I love my lil' man. I'm gonna miss him.

Big Hearts

    I felt a little sleepy this afternoon, and decided hmmm perhaps a little tea. While I was making it...mmm...my Aunt Susan called. We had a nice chat...catching ourselves up on...ourselves:) We always have a good time:) She is the pretty lady in the center of this picture. When I was a kid, I use to stay with her and/or my granny a good bit. Harold Jr. is her son(not pictured obviously)We use played all the time. He's like a lil brother to me. He's a pretty special young man.  One of my other cousins is also in this picture. The tallest young lady in the black on the right. She's my Sam I am....Samantha. She's the baby of us cousins. I guess I'm a big time family girl 'cause I feel like my whole family is special. I mean extraordinary. Big hearts and determination...stubborn...but we stand firm...Compassionate and Passionate. You see how this applies...I mean...look at the lady in the scrubs...Tammy. She goes beyond. Wow! What a heart:) Look at the little ones...God only knows what great things they will do. Yeah Yeah Yeah. I am on a tangent...a good one. I feel so blessed.

Dr. Who

Yesterday, I went to the gym, and planned to workout as usual. Tuesdays are the hardest days...the class is very challenging that day. I was feeling great for about 20 minutes...and then BAM...I felt like my heart was going to fast and felt wheezy...so I stopped and took a break. I attempted to do the eliptical...but that didn't last...so I went home. I felt so defeated at first. Angry. I was like," REALLY! " I called Robyn, and she encouraged me. She said," it's just one day." Today, Robyn and I were able to go back to the gym, and we both worked very hard! YAY! Keeping the faith.
When I got home I had a little meeting with a lady I know that has in the past suffered with lupus and fibromyalgia. I knew she was in a horrible state for a long time due to so much medication, inflammation, and pain. If you have ever suffered from a chronic illness, then you know. I've been wanting to take Cellgevity forever, but have put it off. I'm back in the gym, and inflammation is creeping up on me. I signed up today to sell Cellgevity and also to take it myself. I am excited. I am ready. I know people who take Cellgevity, and their lives have been changed. I can't wait to start my 90 day challenge!!! I will post updates!  
Does anybody watch Dr. Who 2005 til present. I love that show...just saying:) 
To Do List: is very long....one thing I have to do is switch my aquatic creatures around. CHORE<---big chore. Gotta give Charlie the turtle more room. I'm moving her to the 55gallon tank, and splitting the cichlids up into my smaller tanks. 
I think I'm gonna work on my garden again this spring:)
and well...that is all for tonight. 
Goood Niiiggght.

Today is a New Day

      Most that know me know that prior to June I had lost about 30lbs by working out at the gym and running. My life changed...like they do...and I was unable to work out and thus gained it all back. I started back to the gym in January thanks to a gift from my daddy. I weighed today. I have went from 188 to 185.5! YAY! I use My Fitness Pal to keep up with calorie in take and calories burned and etc.
I'm "Back Alive" lol (for those of you who remember the hair product;)

_______________________________________________________________________________  

      Depression can creep up on you like a beast...well...I reckon it is one. Nasty thing...stealing joy and killing folk. Since June, that ol devil has tried many times to get me...well I guess you could say all my life...and really more since we began in ministry...but way more since June. Get my drift? Many tears and many battles...but battles won. I may get weak and weary along the way, but I will always get back up...I have victory. 

      Spiritual battles are present in every day life. Sometimes the battle gets more intense and other times it seems to be quite calm. What is so cool is how God takes these intense battles...the battles in which we've been trampled upon and wounded ....He heals those wounds and picks us up...He carries us through. Oh how He loves us. Like I said in the previous paragraph, I've been battling-actually I guess you could say it this way-I've been transforming. When the moments arrive--->those times you think..."this is it"or " "I can't do this anymore"..something happens in our souls. God is molding and transforming...He knows so much more :) He takes that situation or terrible feeling and transforms it and renews ....confirms....loves...the battle has already been won. I have been renewed and am feeling just WOWed at God. He always does that..:)

     Since childhood , ya see, I've never really "fit in" anywhere...well at least not in this world. HAHA!  You know what. I'm okay with that;) I was being molded and prepared for such a time as this. I may never "fit in" or be accepted by everybody. It's okay with me now. I know God accepts and loves me. 

     I admit. I still may have weak and insecure moments.I'm not perfect.I will never stay down...mm mm nope. 

   I'm so grateful that God healed my family. I love my husband more now than ever. He is a wonderful and handsome:) man. I am honored that God chose to put us together. I'm mean he seriously loves me. I know, because he got a kitten for me. hahaha! Meet Jag:)

     Be prepared in your heart. Your faith will be challenged. Remember to always continue to love as Jesus did on this earth. Swiftly forgive. Release Strongholds.

     I received a card with some declarations on it from Kaylor Ministries. I put it on my bathroom mirror. The first one says: "Today is a new day". So yeah! Declare that over your life every morning.

                  "TODAY IS A NEW DAY"     

Psalms 48:14

For this God is our God forever and ever: He will be our guide even unto death.

Goodbye Twinkie

Yeah. So I don't remember if I posted or not...but I'm not going to the rhuemeee anytime soon...insurance...and not wanting anymore bills.

The wheels are churning.
January will mark a turning point in my life. I am changing what I eat big time. Some may call it crazy, and some will say WOW! Some will want to join, and so they shall. Yeah...I couldn't help myself. I love bustin' rhymes.--You'll find out more about the whole food thing later-- I am rejoining the gym. There was no need to join mid-December. Holiday Hustle. I've also decided that I need to pay the ol' Takamine more attention. I've been playing here and there, but still... If in December of 2013 I am still in the same place in my life, I'm gonna ...uhhhhh....be very disappointed in myself and feel like a weenie. Here's to getting back to Ninja Time!!!! My body may try and stop me...but I don't care. I will cry and bust through it. I refuse to get sick and accept any disease or whatever the crap may come my way! YEEEHAW! Just call me Jackie-Ann!
Time to turn the wheel to the next selection...this one is played out...move over Shoulda Coulda Woulda....time to take a lil step....move over sickness....ain't NOBODY got time fah that!

Beast Mode?

Last night, I decided to look over some inspiring "fitness for women" quotes and pictures. -You see, I've made a plan. I am moving my gym membership. I do very much so like the gym where I am currently a member, but it's inconvenient. Robyn and I have decided it's time to return to BEAST MODE! My energy level isn't at it's best...gonna start back on the B12...no not with any additives like boosters...just B12.  When we were going together we both lost a bunch of weight and toned up a lot. I won't be able to switch until the end of NOV. BUT it's gonna happen.

I also know that if I don't exercise, and keep eating the way I've been eating=oooo big and bad by the end of the year. 

I just decided to deny whatever it is that is attacking me. Yes, I have moments of pain. SO!

OH OH OH

I worked in my garden yesterday, and my arms are sore=BEAST! Great exercise for the arms!

This tool will work your arms!

My plans are to expand my garden a tiny bit. In memory of my Prince Jake, I am building a fire pit with lil paw prints on it...I think I am gonna come up with a few more things to add to it.:) 

It's a good idea to get outdoors! 

Luna and Lyka are enjoying this chilly weather. I can't wait until their coats get thick.:)

Brief

I've started back running, and am averaging about 10-10:3 min for a mile. =not what I was doing, but hey! I gotta start back somewhere.

I have also decided to slowly decide how to be an avid coupon lady. We will see how this goes...I've printed some out, and feel free to get me those coupons out of magazines/papers that you're not using...no need to cut them out...I'll do it:)

I am having an open house on Nov. 19th for all to come and shop with 4 difference companies! whoohoo!

I still have some sadness...especially at night...missing Jake and all.
BUT I'm doing good.

So..this is a short sweet to the point blog. Yes.
I've gotta homeschool my girl, and run some errands today.
Love all!
