Bad week

Oops I did it again, I ate the wrong food, I probably gained. Oh my belly belly...I'm not that innocent.
This week after a trip to the ER with my two year old I decided to eat something fried and then I never did get back to eating good again. We were out of groceries so I just ate anything and didn't care if I should be or not. I didn't have a weigh in this week since we have vacation bible school going on at church right now my class did not meet. But I can tell I gained some weight, I let stress get the best of me this week. My two year old was at grandma's and she is a monkey and climbs on everything....she had a very hard face to face with the floor and lost three of her front teeth and the fourth in pushed up into the gum. She swallowed two of her teeth so I was diggin up teeth and let me tell you that is lots of fun to go through nasty stinky diapers to find these tiny tiny baby teeth...but we retrieved the teeth and she is relearning to eat and how to drink out of her sippy cups again. I am getting back on track today!!! I will have a loss next week!!

I got a hair cut this week, I have gone from hair down the middle of my back to now sitting on top of my shoulders and she razored a lot of the thickness out also.

Baked French Fries

4- 1 lb baking potatoes cut them into 8 wedges. Put them in a ziploc bag add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and shake till all are coated. In the ziploc add any spices that you like to the potatos. I usually add onions, garlic, paprika, and ground pepper; some people add ranch spices and parmesaen cheese, just add enough spice to taste and till all are coated. Pour the potatos onto a sprayed cookie sheet and bake at 425 degrees check them in about 30 minutes to decide if they are done enough for you. I cook mine for almost an hour because I like them really really cooked and brown.

A smile on my workout

I wanted to share this I read it in my daily devotional and I thought it was good.

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. Galatians 5:22-23

As children of the living God, we should strive to show active evidence of the fruit of the Spirit in our lives every day and in every way. Now here's a new flash: This also applies to our exercise routine.
As a recovering lazy person, I found that in the beginning, as I went out to walk each day, it was much easier to complain about how bad it hurt- how my back hurt, how my feet hurt, how much I hates to "have" to exercise. The more I complained, the worse it became to fit in my workout and the easier it was to make excuses not to do it at all.
Then I asked Jesus to change my heart toward my exercise. I began to have an excitement and anticipation for my workout every day, because I had a new walking partner , His name is Jesus. I walked with Him and talked with Him. He began to rub off on me. Before long, I like exercise so much that I began to think of my walks as having a smile on them. I was filled with the Spirit, and the fruit was evident in my workout.
People would say to me, "You really enjoy walking, don't you?" The weight began to come off as I found a new love for moving.
So how about it? Is there a smile on your workout? Try it- you'll like it!!
Prayer
Father, give me a love and a joy for my exercise routine. I desire to be a walking example of the fruit of Your Spirit.
