I popped on Joyce Meyers and this devotion seems so fitting:

You are Secure

August 26
Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
—Proverbs 3:5-6  

Following God is not a part-time lifestyle. The Bible clearly teaches that we are to be cautious at all times because the devil looks for opportunities to devour us (See 1 Peter 5:8).
 
But God gives us grace to withstand the devil, and to be firm in faith against his onset. You can be rooted, established strong, immovable, and determined, knowing that whatever you face today is identical to what Christians throughout the world are facing. And God Himself will complete you and make you what you ought to be. He will establish you and ground you securely, strengthen and settle you today (See vv. 9–10).

I don’t know about all of you, but I need to know God is in control.

Well, a good thing happened last nite, my 2 cousins called (they are sisters) and they want to be of some help to me with mom. They will be here the end of October, and they just went thru this with their mom, my mom’s sister. Will be so good to have some family around!

I know I have Ted, but this will be a big help to me.

Mom is doing ok, they are easing her into her therapy slowly. Dad is doing good.

I’m ok, nice to be back to my workouts.

So how are all of you?

Time for me to post, love you all!

Feel free  to stop by our new threads! Thanks to Anj, who has been a busy kitty this morning!!

I friend sent me this link for calories in popular burgers. Check it out:

I am so excited about the new changes for our team! We have needed this!

I find my commitment to this and my new way of life stronger than ever. It is like thru being sick and seeing what mom is going thru, just really kindled something in me!

I know now I can never go back to where I was before, nor do I want to.

Well, I feel good today, did my workout, too. How are you all?

Called mom and she sounded good too.

Well, You all have a wonderful day, I am hurrying to try and read some blogs, Love you all!

Well, it has been quite the weekend. First, on Friday, I was real sick, so Ted may me rest all day. Poor guy, he is down with bronchitis, too.

But then I felt better on Saturday, so I went and took some clothes to mom and some fruit, and helped her pay some bills, then I picked up some stuff at the store, and then I did laundry and washed some things for her, too.

She is settling in better and is now glad she is there, they have been easing her into her physical therapy slowly, see she has diabetic neuropathy in her legs, so they have to get them moving. But she is better, dad is good, too and they are so happy to be able to see each other. Dad wheels into her room with this great big smile on his face, I love it. She has a real nice roomate, too.

Well I will be on all this week, due to my work schedule, since A week from Monday is a holiday, I won’t have the Friday off, so we can still get our hours. It is ok, Anj and I need the time to get our team reorganized, Wildcats are under construction! So please bear with us.

Well, as for me, I have decided to drop 5 more pounds, this theing with mom has really got me scared, and 135 is still considere borderline overweight, and I want to play it safe, so going to 130. I did lose 3 pouns this week in spite of not being able to workout!

I am currently reading “Winning By Losing” by Jillian Michaels, I think it will help and ready me for her 2nd book.

Well, that is about it for me, Love you all. Have a great Sunday!

Well here is the latest! (I appreciate you all listening!)

I went to the dr, and he popped me on antibiotics and an inhaler, seems my asthma acted up! So, I’m trying to feel better, and he said no workouts till I am! So I am planning to start them again on Monday.

Well, mom got moved, but she wasn’t real happy about being there, called me last nite and demanded I bring her home! I was too sick to go up there, so I had to be firm with her, I feel she is in the best place for her right now. And I reminded her of why she is there, to get her legs better so she CAN come home and get dad and her moved! Well, I got her calmed down, and she was much better this morning.

Not sure what my weight will be this weekend, haven’t had much of an appetite. Had to struggle to get at least 1200.

How are you all? Well, I have to go post, have a great day!

Ok, I think my mom is a true angel. She was telling me last nite, of how she was witnessing to her roomate in the hospital, and she was crying because of how God’s love has really touched her heart and she is so concerned for others. I was thinking “Wow, this lady is so sick and here she is still trying to help others”. typical of my mom, all her life. She loves people so much, and she has told me to tell you all that she loves you even though she doesn’t know you. And to ask you all to keep her roomate, Jill in your prayers.

I just had to share that.

My mom is real special and I feel God has a real plan for her yet. She is being moved today to the same care center as dad. She will be there while she get physical therapy.

We are gonna tie up loose ends in the meantime. We have some good people helping us now. Thanks for all the prayers, they ARE working! Love you all! Kama

I may not be on at lunch. Trying to get in the dr today, had to take a breathing treatment last nite, and my chest still hurts.

But I wanted to share the good news!!! Mom is being discharged today to hopefully the same care center dad is in!!!!! They are trying, anyways. She needs some Physical therapy for her legs before she goes home. And now we have this very nice Social worker helping us get things done, too. I have felt very lost, but it looks like things are moving ahead.

Well I need to get back to work, have had to be on the phone alot for mom and my self today. Love you all and I will keep you posted!

How is everyone today?

I’m still here. I think this cold is turning into a sinus infection. If I’m not better by Friday, will go to the dr.

Well, I have been busy, had to hopfully straighten out a billing issue for mom and dad. I think it is ok, now.

Well mom is still in the hospital, her blood sugar is very high again. Was 590 last nite, so they are really working on her. I’m glad she is where she is. I have been trying to keep things running at her house. If she is still there when her bills need to be paid, I will have to take them to her.

Arrgh, so much to think about, and I’m not at my best right now.

I haven’t worked out since Saturday, been to sick. Hopefully will tomorrow, been going to bed early and taking my vitamins and lots of fluids.

I want to know one thing, lol. If I have no sense of smell, and very little appetite, why do I want to munch? Nerves maybe? I dunno.

Well hope you all have a great day, hugs, Kama

Mom is the same, still don’t know what is going on with her, dad is worried, and me too.

Me? I’m sick today, woke up with this cold yesterday, so just trying to get thru the day.

How are you all? Love you guys, sorry this is so breif.

Weight loss challenge team needs more members.  The Wild Cats are looking for new members!!  We are competing against the Diamonds, The Heartbreakers, The Fitness Fanatics, and The Rockstars.  We weigh in every Sunday with a 10 am cutoff time in your own time zone.   We then declare a winning team (whichever loses the most weight) and start all over again! We have an awesome group of people on our team who are always ready to offer encouragement and motivation.  We have a lot of fun but are also very serious about our goals and have a separate forum just for serious talk.  Our team also offers optional exercise challenges. You do not have to do them but we have a lot of fun with them.  If you complete one or more of the challenges, you can email me and I brag about you. But, it is not required.

You can find us by looking at the Buddy Slim menu bar and clicking Forum and then click Weight Loss Challenges and then click Wild Cat Serious Talk or Cheer section. We’re looking for people who are serious about weight loss. You need to be willing to workout at least 5 days per week (trying for 6) and eating healthy on a regular basis.  If you’re interested, email me your current weight and we’ll introduce you to the team.

How are you all?

Has been a very busy weekend for me. Mom is still in the hospital. Having alot of trouble breathing, anytime she has to get up, etc. she gets so out of breath, and is very weak. They are trying to figure out why. She says it feels like a tight band around her chest when she tries to take a breath.

So, I have been running back and forth between her and dad. Taking care of her pets, and her errands. Got more paper work filled out for her for the state aid, just need to call her health insurance on Monday to get her premium amount, and then wait for her bank statement to come in, boy, they sure want alot of info!

I’m so glad you all don’t seem to get bored with me writing about all of this, it really helps to write it out. I don’t feel I say anything amazing, but I really get so much from your feed back.

0k, all, listen up! I have a message for all fo you from my mom:

She says to say thank you very, very much for all your love and prayers, and she is grateful for all of you being there for me! She says “what a blessing” and she actually got tears! I promised her I would tell you.

Ok for some cool happy news! We had an orange and white striped male cat named Chaos. He got out about 18 months ago. We looked and looked and I posted him on lost pet sites. Well, we had given up, and I got an email from this girl with a pic of a cat, and she was asking if he was ours. Yed and I went out yesterday to see him and it was!! So, we brought him home! To be gone so long and so far, without any scratches or scars is amazing! So the next thing we are gonna do is get him fixed so there will be no more wandering. I have some numbers of free places to call. But we are so gald to have him back, the only one who isn’t so happy, is our other cat Ringo, but she is a grump anyways to new things, she will get used to it, but the dog is excited, and Buddy the ferret could care less, lol.

Well, I am back at 137. Think it is stress. Doing all I can to hold it together, had a meltdown Friday and got into the cookies again, ugh.

But I did do my workouts Friday and Saturday, Break today, feel like I’m catching a cold or something, sore throat and achy. Gonna go lay down when I get down here.

But the funny thing is, that I was feeling like I was gonna binge again last nite, and you know what happened? I overate alright, but it was on salad! And I had diet dressing, too! I thought it was funny that my overeating was on healthy food, what a change!

So, that is what is up with me.

I do appreciate all the prayers. It is so hard to see mom and dad like this, I find myself wishing for a time maching so we could all go back to when I was in high school. I told dad I had a very good life with them and he said” well we tried” It really hurts to see him so helpless. I try to cheer him up (he love McDonald’s apple pies), but I know he misses mom so much. And she misses him, too. Seems so unfair and cruel that they have to be apart. HAVE to get mom well enough to get them moved, I have an appt set up with the placement guy for Friday, I wonder if I can meet with him anyways, even if mom can’t? Hmm, it’s a thought.

Well I need to go post, Good luck to all the weight loss teams!

Have a great Sunday, hugs!
