My BIG struggle...literally!

A struggle that I have been dealing with for the past 3 1/2 years is my weight! Today I started a Loser Challenge. There are 20 of us and we see who can loose the most weight over the next 12 weeks. I only know a few of the people that I am competing with. I don't know if that will help me, or hurt me. When I stepped on the scale this morning for my beginning weigh in, I couldn't believe the number that was in front of me. I haven't weighed this much since I was pregnant with the twins. Even with my first two pregnancies I didn't weigh this much. How did I let myself get this bad?

I know when it comes to my weight, I never think to ask God for help. It simply has not occurred to me.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6

Did you just read that verse? It says present you requests to God. Why wouldn't that include asking God's help when it comes to taking care of the body that he gave you. He has given us the gifts of our bodies, and it is our responsibility to take care of them. But, just like everything else in life, we need His help and guidance.

I will keep you updated over the next 12 weeks on my progress. I know that I cannot do it alone!

  1. Look I am reading your blog! I know that this issue at hand is not a fun one.... but stick with it. Every little step helps. I am been off and on the diet bandwagon for a year and I have lost 30 pounds now. Which is crazy because I have never lost weight. But I am slowly realizing that its the small things that add up! You can do it Tracy!!!!!

Vintage Christmas Wonderland - Review

When I was contacted a few weeks ago and asked if I would review a newly released Christmas album, I couldn't type fast enough to respond and say YES! Christmas is, by far, my favorite time of year.  When I received the Cds, they were wrapped in beautiful burlap and ribbon and decorated with a sparkly snowflake. Along with the Cds, there was a personal handwritten note. It was so sweet and just made the entire experience of this review scream vintage. Vintage Christmas Wonderland by David Ian has a smooth jazzy sound that takes you back to the days when life was less complicated. When I was contacted to review the album, it was described to me as " It's reminiscent of the Charlie Brown Christmas album and meant to bring warmth to the season!".  I can tell you, that is a perfect description. While listening to Vintage Christmas Wonderland, I felt like putting up my Christmas tree just so I could plug in the lights and watch them glow. I felt like starting a
