Diet Devotion - March 19
Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Let's not call it our diet; let's call it God's diet. No, that doesn't mean God has to lose the weight. It means that we diet because it's what God wants of us. If it's God's diet, then God will help make sure that it goes well. He…

When to lend a helping hand?
husband scenerio--he's doing well with his diet and excercise, but he gets excited initially and then lets it gradually work it's way to the back burner. As I notice some of the change, slipping over his calories, not making good choices, etc. I'm thinking--'that no matter what, silent or arguing, I will not be of any help…

Minor setbacks won't break you!
After not working out or doing any physical activity since Thursday, and a weekend trip to New Orleans (where we ate HUGE meals 3 times a day....so good), I decided I had to get back to the track to make sure I wasn't too off course. Usually I run 2 miles sometimes 3 and call it quits. Yesterday, I effortlessly ran 5!!!! I…

Here we go... AGAIN!
So... seems to be some sort of misunderstanding (hopefully).... One of my dearest MFP friends is leaving b/c of some members saying that she is "full of herself" and other not so nice things....... She has worked her butt off to get where she is now. She is an inspiration to us moms that are trying to get our pre-baby(ies)…

Why I do this
I started with MFP to lose weight and look better in the mirror, and to be able to perform better on the baseball diamond. But after 6 months or so of this site, there are a few realizations that I have come by that have (if not drastically) changed my life for the better. I thought I would share them with all of you, who…
