To be honest I am a bit bummed. I have not gained or lost and have been working out at least one hour everyday for 5 days now. I guess I have to figure out whats going on. I wasnt eat at night, but did last night, not much though. I have been having 2 cups of coffee a day, maybe that is doing it, I dont know. I was thinking maybe my calories havent been high enough but then I didnt put them all in so I dont know. I will try to keep better track today.
So, some news...
My husband and I have been praying for about a month now for this one situation that came about and yesterday we finally made a decision. We have decided to try and adopt 2 girls from Russia. Shleby is 3 and Faith is 10 months old. They are both deaf and blind. They were both preemies, Shelby at 35 wks and Faith at 27 weeks. Shelby is only 19lbs now. It is a horrible situation over there.
I believe God ask us to do this and He has confirmed it so as unprepared financially we are He ask us to trust Him and do this and I will. So for those of you who know Jesus and pray could you please keep my family in your prayers. It is not going to cost as much as we thought and hoping the price goes down even further but as of right now I estimate it at around 28000.00 That does not count the trips to Russia. They said it may be up to 6 trips because the girls are in 2 separate parts of the country.
I know my God is able. The Bible says we are to take care of the widows, orphans and fatherless, not that it is some good deed but something that is required of us.
I know this is going to be hard, to say the least. I am not in denial as to how much work and how many hospital visit it will be. Some moments come and I get so terrified I start to cry out to Jesus. I just have to put my faith in Him and trust that Paul and I can do this. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
This is not the plan I had for my life but if this is God's plan then I imagine it will be so much better than anything I could have dreamed.
So that is whats going on with my family. Not sure why the weightloss hasnt happened but my body is looking a little better. NO big huge belly like I had been having. I am going to try and do maybe the walk away the pounds and something else something different. If you have any good workout suggestions I would love to hear them. Know this about me though, I dont like hard stuff, like confusing I mean. I find Denise Austin annoying, lol, and want something that I wont throw up during or quit. Thanks
I hope you all have a blessed day.

Wow. That is some big news. I am sure it must be very scary to contemplate everything you're taking on with those girls but it's also amazing to think about what you will be able to do for them. Bless you and your family.

Wow, you really continue to inspire me. Remember that lady I told you about that you look like--my neighbor? Well, she adopted FOUR children from Ethiopia. Two brothers and two sisters. The two brothers had lost their mom to AIDS. The two sisters, twins and as cute as can be, were abandoned outside their city's limits. They were infants and someone just left them in a basket there. I see this family often and the children are SO happy. I shudder to think about what their life would be like now if they hadn't been adopted. I think if God has led you to this decision, that is the right thing for you to do! I also think that God has been leading me toward adoption or being a foster parent (with intent to adopt). My husband had a vasectomy after our 2nd child was born and that decision haunts us to this day. We long for the children we "could have had." But maybe God meant me to follow another path, adoption or foster care, so I am trying to hear His calling about that as well. Please keep me informed! By the way, $28,000 is a lot of money! Ouch.

Thank you both. Telling people has been hard because 1- I dont want to glorify myself or act like I am so great for doing this. It is God's glory. And 2 bc so many people have been so negative about it. What about your other kids why would yo u want them, they have a lot of problems, I woldnt touch that with a ten foot pole, but I think the worst is the disgusting looks I get. God ask I answered thats all I have to say. This is hard and overwhelming and totally out of my comfort zone but I will do this. I am so happy to hear about your neighbor. And also to you for considering foster care, we did that years ago. If God leads I say do it because it is so rewarding. Be blessed.

Some people can be so inconsiderate! (or rude, take your pick). You are right to trust your own calling and not listen to all the naysayers. If you feel God is leading you in this direction, He is!
