Greeting people, I am sitting here watching the Grammy Awards and have been thinking about Whitney Houston all day! Sadness is something that runs deep beyond comprehension and does not discriminate nor exclude based upon social economics. Only Jesus can heel us,not success nor money. R.I.P Whitney Houston, I will always love you!

Feb. 6 & 7
Well folks, these last two days were intense. Student reports to compose, lesson plans, report cards, graduate work, and family obligations. The rush never ends! During these trying times one tends to fall into old habbits and I am no exception. I fell off the horse (oh no!)
Tuesday
Two boiled eggs and coffee (cream no sugar)
Banana, apple
Cabbage and chicken breast
Crazy Wednesday
Oatmeal
Slice of pizza :o
Cesear salad, turkey sandwich, pickel, 2 cookie, popcorn, coke soda:
Fair Haven definately knows how to feed their teachers on report card night. This woman definately needs to learn how to say "no".
In addition to my confession, I will say that I have not taken the elevator.
Tomorrow is a new day,

I use to love Hip Hop with all of my life. I fell hard for the charming swag. As time passed by, Hip Hop turned into R&B and my love had lessened. Lately R&B has transformed into Country and I have learned to love from a distance!
I am very proud of myself. I fought and won over my weaknesses. Resisted various cravings and successfuljly discovered my inner strength!
Breakfast: boiled egg and coffee (cream and without sugar)
Lunch: boiled egg and 1 ounce of skinned chicken
Dinner: 1 cup of salad, 1 cup of wild rice soup, and 1 ounce of fish.
Feeling Great right now

Hello world, pray all is well with everyone. As for me, today was a productive day. I just got out of class feeling great about the A my paper received. Well enough of the small talk, lets jump into the diet: Breakfast- none (no time); Lunch: two boiled eggs and one ounce of skinless chicken breast; Dinner: small chicken salad. Took stairs (correction my school has 6 flights of stairs one way). Enjoy the rest of your evening~L'Tanya

Just finishing up part II of this case study for my graduate course (in case anyone is wondering why I am writing at this hour).

First day of the rest of my life!
Today is February 1, 2012. This is the first day of the rest of my life. As stated in my previous post, I am taking control of my life through my body. I have officially said "goodbye" to my formal mind set along with eating habits. Everyday from this day forward will bring me closer to a new and improved me. I decided to post a daily report of meals and activity to hold myself accountable. *Thank you Rebecca and Lisa for your encouraging words

Coming Clean, Switching Gears, Losing Weight!
Life is amazing when you are happy. It has so much to offer when one truly embraces it with a positive mind, body, and spirit. My experience has revealed that happiness derives from God through Jesus Christ. It is through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, that I have learned the daily practice of the renewal of my mind (Roman 12:2) while setting my mind on good things with humility (Romans 12:18) and
to rejoice in spirit with constat prayer (Roman 12:12). In all honesty, I have accomplished 2/3 of these reference points!
Although my mind and spirit are aligned with these biblical frameworks, I have fallen short when it comes to my body.I have failed to present my body as a living sacrifice, holy, and acceptable to God (Romans 12:1)! Over the years (long before I gave my life to Jesus and to this very moment) I turned to food for comfort like an addict turns to drugs. During troubled times I turned to God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit in prayer but refused to fast (abstaining from food for sacrificial purposes). After years of the same things, I found myself stagnant and asked myself this question: What good is it to be connected to God if you cannot fully partake in ALL of HIS blessings?
Through prayer and seeking God's face, it has now become clear to me that I MUST take a stand against my addiction to food and its negative affects that it has on my life! I weigh 290 lbs! This is the first time that I have EVER revealed my weight to ANYONE! I have made a commitment to God to lose between 70-100 lbs. by July 2013. Understanding that this is an enormous amount of weight to lose in a short period of time, I am calling on Jesus Christ to supply me with courage, endurance, determination, strength, and most of all his favor of HEALTH!
My journey will begin February 1, 2012. I will post daily and weekly updates of my diet and exercise routines. If anyone would like to provide me with suggestions and words of encouragements, feel free to comment. Every pound I lose will go to the Glory of the Lord!
Stay Tuned...
