80 lbs and still going strong

Half way to my goal and I'm still learning a lot.  This past week was Halloween, I was thinking I should plan a treat for Halloween,  what do I want candy, cupcake, or some other treat?  What should I choose..........flash back to when I was in 8th grade.  In Aug. I went in for my routine physical for sports.  I had been feeling really strange for a month or so but didn't think much of it.  In my physical they found that I needed to be tested for diabetes.  The doctor wanted me to go on a diabetic diet for a few months and come back and get tested again.  So, that is what I did, the next test would not be until after Halloween.  Just like any kid I was super sad that I did not get candy on Halloween.  "WHAT NO CANDY ON HALLOWEEN?"  HOW CAN WE NOT HAVE CANDY ON HALLOWEEN?  EVERYONE NEEDS CANDY ON HALLOWEEN.....guess what I survived back then and I survived this Halloween with no candy.  The more I thought about it, the more I decided I don't need it.  I don't need a reason to eat junk.  I don't like how it makes me feel so the best decision for me to make was to not eat any of it.  So I didn't and I'm glad.  I reached 80 lbs lost this week and I feel better and better everyday.  Remember you can do hard things if you set your mind to that. Image result for cute halloween pictures

A Different Kind of Mission

A Different Kind of Mission By Lena Mattice When my son was a junior in high school, he told me he wanted to play college football. I smiled and told him, “Okay—but it’s going to take a lot of work.” I asked, “And,What about serving a mission?” We talked about different scenarios, wondering if a college might let him serve and then return to play. But we had no idea where to even begin in getting colleges to notice him. His coach mentioned a football camp three hours away. So we drove, and he participated. A few coaches took interest and said they’d be watching his senior year. But that senior year was right after COVID. Schedules were unpredictable, and opportunities were uncertain. We still didn’t know who to talk to or how to get his name out there. Then, during Homecoming week, the team we were scheduled to play had to cancel due to a COVID outbreak. His coach jumped on Twitter, trying to find a replacement team. He found one—but they were two divisions above ours. We needed a gam...

The Jack Rabbit Factor by Leslie Householder

 In the early 2000's I was introduced to the writings of Leslie Householder.  There was an author that I followed named Marnie Pehrson now her last name is Kuhns.  She is a great author and I started following her because she started a club called The Clean Romance Club. I was always looking for authors that wrote clean romance.  Anyways one day I received an email from her talking about Leslie Householder and asking all her followers to follow her at Rare Faith. com  I was very interested in the topic rare faith so I went to her website and subscribed to her emails.  I found her newsletter and web site very interesting and at that point I knew that one day I would want to look into what she was talking about.  Now because I had 4 little ones and a day care to run, I felt like I didn't have time to pursue the things Leslie was talking about at that time.  I took her emails and put them in a folder to save for a later date that I would have time to...
