Day 52 with a recap of day 51
I know, I'm still doing the every other day thing! Yesterday was an absolutely crazy busy day. I did have a good OP week this week and I am down 1.8 pounds. I will take that!
My stats for yesterday were:
weight: 197.6
body fat: 45.5%
body hydration: 36.5%
My stats for today are:
weight: 197.4
body fat: 44.5%
body hydration: 37.5%
Well, we are in for a busy day today. Billy and Kay (Deon's brother and sister-in-law) are here for the weekend and we always go and do a lot when they are here.
So that being said, this is going to be a short post today.

Day 50 with a recap of day 49
Well I see a pattern here! It seems that I am only posting every other day. I need to get back to doing this every day.
I have to admit I have been very disappointed in my weight loss this month and I know in my head that this all a part of it. But...it is still discouraging to see the weight come off so slow this month. I have actually done better on my eating and added exercise this month. I know in the long run that will be benifical. I have to keep my eyes on Jesus. I have gotten very lax on spending any time at all with God. I read my Bible almost every day but I don't spend real time with God at all! Sometimes I think I am the biggest hypocrite that ever walked the face of the earth. I can walk and talk a good one on the outside but inside I am a spoiled little brat that wants everthing to be the way she wants it to be!
I gave this journey to Him and I have taken it back from Him yet again. Sometimes I don't even know how to give it to Him and not take it back. I don't mean to be so down on myself but sometimes I deserve just what I get. But...praise God for His grace and His mercy. I know that He loves me beyond what my human brain could ever comprehend. I sacrificed His Son for me, wow! Father, I'm so sorry that I sometime cheapen that sacrifice.
My stats for Tuesday were:
weight: 196.6
body fat: 45%
body hydration: 37%
My stats for today are:
weight: 197.4
body fat: 48%
body hydration: 34.5%
Trying to keep my eyes on Him,

Day 48 and a recap of day 47
Well, yesterday was interesting. I had a bad headache! I haven't had one in long time and I felt it coming all week. I just wished that it would have been on Saturday instead of Sunday. I really missed being in church yesterday.
My stats for Saturdady were:
weight: 199.2
body fat: 44%
body hydration 35.5%
My stats for yesterday are:
weight: 198
body fat: 45%
body hydration 35%
Daily Targe Points: 26
Total points used yesterday: 26
Total AP yesterday: 1
Total water in take yesterday: 96 oz.
My next mini goal: 6 to 8 pounds lost in February
What is my biggest challenge today? My pedometer broke this morning so now I can't count my steps taken!
What did I do right today? I ate breakfast at home instead of taking something quick with me to work today.
Did I spend time with God yesterday? No, I'm sorry to say that I didn't even read my Bible yesterday. It was not a good day!
I think that if Kristy does not need me today I'm going to go home. I'm still not feeling very well.
Needing to focus on Him today,

Day 46
It is a dreary, foggy day here in Ennis, Tx and I am sitting here wondering why the numbers on the scale today couldn't have been on the scale yesterday! I was down 1.8 from yesterday which would have been a loss of 1.2 for the week, but alas, yesterday was my WI day and not today!
Deon and I went on a wonderful date last night. We went to Applebees and I was able to stay OP and even enjoy dessert. It was so nice to just be together and not stress over my "diet". This is no longer a diet to me but simply a new lifestyle. I know I will slide back into old habits but it seems now when I do my body rebels! I truly believe that this rebellion of my body is a gift from God to help me remember to put good things in my body! Thank you Father!
My stats for today are:
weight: 197.4
body fat: 44.5%
body hydration: 37.5%
I am going to start posting other info here daily as well.
Daily Target Points: 26
Total Points used yesterday: 27
Total AP (activity points) yesterday: 7 (I did Hip Hop Abs and my total steps for the day)
Total Water intake yesterday: 96 oz.
My next mini goal: 6 to 8 pounds lost in February
What's my biggest challenge today? Deciding between aerobics or strength training
What did I do right today? Ate more points at breakfast time
Did I spend time the God yesterday? I spent time in the Word and prayed throughout the day but I did not have a time of being still before Him to pray and listen.
I think that the above info might help you follow my journey a little better.
Thanks for going on this journey with me.
Loving Him more than anything else,
Tammie

Day 45 and a Recap of Day 44
Well yesterday was Valentines Day and it was a good day WW wise. I actually got in 5 AP yesterday and stayed OP all day. Today I have gotten in 5 AP as well. So, I'm stepping up the exercise a bit which can only help.
When I got to work yesterday Deon had stopped by on his way to work and left flowers and a card to suprise me with. They are beautiful and smell so wonderful. I got to shopping with Ophelia from church for the church. That was a lot of fun!
Today was my WI day and I am disappointed in myself. I am up .6 of a pound and I know why. The past 2 weekends I have had a bingy hard time and we had our Agape banquet at church on Wednesday and I could have done better there too.
My stats for yesterday were:
weight: 199.6
body fat: 44%
body hydration: 38%
My stats for today are:
weight: 199.2
body fat: 44.5%
body hydration: 37.5%
Actually, I think the real reason for my gain this week is that I have taken my eye off Jesus and tried to do this in my own strength. That is a recipe for disaster!! So, I am refocused today and I will dust myself off and go on in His strength, not mine.
Trusting Him alone,
Tammie

Day 43
The beginning of a new day! I praise God that He is a God of second chances. I need those all of the time but not today!
Today has been a good day as far as WW goes. I have stayed within my points and I have gotten in a 20 minute walk at lunch. I have done 100 crunches and 100 push-ups (modified). Now all I have to do is get some aerobics worked into my daily routine and I will be on my way to a much healthier version of myself.
I will be on my way to being physically who God wants me to be but I cannot neglect the spiritual me either. I have been doing my Bible reading and I do pray through out my day but I don't have any "be still and know that I am God" moments in my day. With this Beth Moore study I am doing for Sunday School I am supposed to be getting on my face before God everyday and I have not been doing that. I really need to!
My stats for today are:
weight: 199.8 (I don't know what my weight is doing!!)
body fat: 47%
body hydration: 35.5%
I know that I have been following the plan and I don't know why my weight is going up. It might be that I'm building muscle which will in turn burn more fat. So, a weight gain of muscle is a good thing. I will go by how my clothes fit instead of what the scale tell me!

Day 42
This is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice in it! Yesterday was a good day all the way around. I stayed within my points and got in 2 AP's for the day. I have been going on the message boards on the WW website and I have started doing some of the activity challenges. I have been doing at least 100 crunches everyday and some days I have done 200 crunches. Just today I started the 100 pushups challenge. I have done 10 on my knees and then I have done 60 up against the wall 20 at a time. I only have 30 more to go! I will get there and someday I look forward to being able to do military style pushups again!
My stats for today are:
weight: 198.4
body fat: 45.5%

Day 41
Well yesterday was not as bad as last Sunday and the weekend as a whole was so much better than last weekend. However, I still dipped way into my Flex Points. I went over my points by 14 points with 2 Activity Points to swap. All in all it was pretty good. I stayed OP on Friday and Satuday so that is a victory over last weekend!
My stats for today are:
weight: 199.2

What an awesome weekend! Kelli and Erskin finally got 2 foster kids. An 11 month old boy and a 3 day old baby girl! For those of you who do not know who these lovely people are, Erskin is the youth Pastor at my church, Ferris Baptist Fellowship in Ferris, Texas.
I got to go and see these precious kiddos yesterday and even though Kelli look really tired...she looked so happy. I think little Justin really likes me, he is such a cutie. Of course little Jasmin is absolutely precious as all newborns are!
I have decided to teach a Young Ladies Sunday School class at our church starting in June. Please pray for me as I ask God to show me what material to use. I am so looking forward to this.
Well, I need to get busy...
Praising my Great God and King with my lips today!

Day 40
I can't believe that I have been seriously doing this again for 40 days. It has been an interesting journey so far with many ups and downs. I am so grateful to have lost the weight that I have lost, God is so good!
I feel like I want to be really lazy today but I have too much to do. I really need to get off this computer and work out my menu for the next 2 weeks so I can make the grocery list and then go buy groceries. It is such a beautiful day that Karah wants to go to the park for a picnic and that sounds good if I can get everything else done! I also need to do laundry today as well.
My stats for today are:
weight: 198.2
body fat: 46%
body hydration 36%
Well, I need to run and get some things done! I am such a poet!!!

Day 39 - Weigh-In Day!
God is so gracious to me even when I don't deserve Him to be! Well, I guess none of us deserve God's grace but He gives it anyway! I am down another 1.2 pounds this week and it so could have gone the other way and been a gain of 1.2 but God is good, all the time. I would have praised Him either way the scale went but a loss is always wonderful!
My stats today are:
weight: 198.6
body fat: 46%
body hydration: 36.5%
I am thrilled that a new week is started in regards to Weight Watchers. I have another chance to bring honor and glory to my God and King.
Oh yes, I almost forgot...I am wearing a pair of pants I couldn't even get on back in December! WooHoo!!
Trusting Him,

Day 38
I am always amazed how God can show me new mercies everday. My devotion this morning was about the fact that Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene after His ressurection. In that day even after the demons had been cast out of her she would have been looked down on because of her sinful past. The main point I got from this morning's devotion is that I am never to far away because of my sinfullness and rebellion that He will not draw me close to Himself! Wow, that is so encouraging to me.
Yesterday was a good WW (Weight Watchers) day. I stayed OP (on point) and even got in 2 AP (activity points) but I could not have done this without trusting God to get me through the day. He is truly amazing and His faithfulness is perfect.
My stats for the day are:
weight: 198.4
body fat: 45.5%
body hydration: 37%
Knowing that He is never far away and that I am kept in His loving embrace,

Day 37
I think I'm finally on the mend. I'm feeling much better and it is because I have eaten right and moved! Praise the Lord!
I think that God has finally gotten it into my head and in my body that it is best to feed my body with what He designed to feed it with. My prayer is that I really will remember how I felt Sunday and Monday!
I have stayed on my points on Monday and Tuesday and I'm tracking along today on point as well. I have even gotten activity points on Monday and Tuesday too.
My stats for today are:
weight: 198.8
body fat: 46.5%
body hydration: 36%
I have also been getting in at least 12 glasses of water for our February H2O water challenge for our ladies Bible study on Thursdays. Well, every day but Sunday, I only drank 9 glasses of water on Sunday! I can't believe that I would be an avid water drinker! I can really tell when I don't drink enough water in a day. I can only give God the glory for that because as you all well know I am a Diet Coke drinker! God has given me the strength to overcome the complete hold that Diet Coke had over me. I still drink Diet Coke but I still get in all my water too.
Praising Him with all that I am,

Today is a better day than yesterday, although I am still not feeling 100%. This has been a lesson learned for sure! Yesterday I was under my points by 2 and I did manage to get 1 activity point. I didn't get all of my fruits and veggies in and I was not feeling well enough to take my vitamins yesterday.

Day 35
Well, I am really not looking forward to writing today! I am feeling so miserable physically because of the way I ate yesterday. Friday I went over my points by 1 point, Saturday I went over my points by 6 points, or something like that and yesterday I can't even calculate the points I consumed! I just pray that I will remember how yuky I feel right now when I feel like I need to eat like that agian.
My stats for Saturday were:

Day 32 - Weigh In Day!
Praise God, Praise God, Praise God!!! I only lost 1.6 pounds this week but that puts me below 200! I could do cartwheels, if I could do a cartwheel!! God is so good so why do I get so discouraged? If I would just trust Him I would save myself a lot of grief and worry. Will I ever learn?
My stats today are:
weight: 199.8
body fat: 45.5%

My WW week didn't start off so wonderful but God is faithful and He has turned my mess into something beautiful and I give Him all the glory for my weight loss.
Since today is my true weigh day I am declaring that I have reached my January goal! I officially lost 10.4 pounds in January and I can only praise and thank God for giving me the strength to get there. He and I have walk the road of this journey together and I am going to rest in His love and strength today.
Resting in Him and marveling at His love,
