The Mousetrap
I got this in an email, I thought it was cute and wanted to share. It gets a little silly towards the end but it is a good (silly) reminder to care for others. Love your neighbors as yourself!
A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package."What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered - he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap. Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning: "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr.Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me.I cannot be bothered by it."The mouse t urned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"The pig sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr.Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray.Be assured you are in my prayers."The mouse turned to the cow and said "There is a mousetrap in the house!There is a mousetrap in the house!"The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose."So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap alone.That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.
The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.
The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital , and she returned home with a fever.Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's mainingredient. But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock.To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer's wife did not get well; she died. So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them. The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk. We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.

July 8th Weigh In
July 8th weight = 202
Lost 3 pounds!
I am excited to finally start losing again. I got lazy and depressed and let my stress take control of my eating. I am back on track now. I changed my outlook by praising my awesome God. He is so good and he takes care of us in such a cool way. I give him the glory for my weight loss because I would have never had the strength to do it if he didn't convict me that it was time and bring the program into my life that now I get to teach. My classes motto is "Changing for the better" and our mascot is the butterfly and today God sent a butterfly to land in the tree right out side my living room window and that butterfly stayed there in the tree for a very long time it was so beautiful...isn't he cool!!!

Declaring My Independence
Tales from the Scales challenged us to Declare our Independence today by asking us to blog about:
Have you ever sat down and figured out exactly WHY losing weight is important to you
and HOW you are going to do it and WHAT benefits you'll receive by losing weight?
Losing weight is so important to me: The Lord has convicted me about being different than the world, the world indulges, eats anything and everything and they don't care. My challenge is to eat healthy and natural. Now I try not to go to crazy we do eat McDonald's sometimes but all in moderation and I try to make healthy choices like the apples instead of fries and chicken instead of red meat. I want to learn to be healthy and lose weight for my own health, for my husband maybe one day he will join me because I am very fearful for his health, and so that I can be a good example to my 4 children on how to be healthy.
My Aunt had a heart attack at age 28 that resulted in her needing a heart transplant and at 32 the new heart gave out and she died. I am turning 27 next week and even though my circumstances are different than hers the closer I get to 28 the more motivated I get. I do not have the dangerous cholesterol like she and some in my family do (over 500) and I don't smoke and I don't take birth control pills but I don't want to regret not taking care of the temple I have been given. The Lord has given me the resources to know the right way and I don't want to have to explain to my kids one day that I was given the tools to be healthy but choose not to obey.
I honestly was in denial about my weight, I went from being a cheerleader in a size 3 to weighing over 200 pounds and it seemed to happen over night. I took a picture with my family and I looked at myself and my eyes were opened to how big I really was, I was so embarrassed and horrified I couldn't believe the face that I was looking at. I wanted to burn that picture I still have nightmares about my double (triple) chin bouncing off my knees and my chipmunk cheeks blocking the two peoples faces next to me and I am not even going to talk about what my girls were doing....lets just say they were not perky and firm....yikes....those my be a lost cause after nursing four babies do I even have a chance????!!!!
I am learning to lead a healthy life style by following the food pyramid using exchanges. The program I teach is called First Place and I love it, it focuses on a relationship with Christ while at the same time teaches you how to eat healthy. We do a daily bible study that helps you get into your bible and we meet together every week to talk about what we are learning, pray together, weigh together, and encourage one another.
I struggle with Fibromyalgia and Hypo thyroid and I am really hoping that as I lose weight that some of the pain and discomfort will start to ease some. I sing on my praise band at church but I do hold back because of my weight. I am learning how to be myself no matter what I look like and I am learning to accept myself as I am. I am tired of hiding behind my weight, I want to run and jump and not worry about people being turned off with all my bouncing fat. I am tired of living on the sidelines, I want to coach soccer, play softball, play games with the youth, and let go of my insecurities. I want to be around for my kids and have the energy to go outside and jump on the trampoline with them, roller blade and just be a fun mom. I will get to shop in the regular size clothing again.
I took my before picture and one day I will take my after picture.....I can not wait to be an after!!!!! (I stole that from a WW commercial I think)
