Happy Sibling Day

Do you ever sit back and think about God’s work? I do. His work is truly amazing. Think about it we can choose our friends but we can’t choose our family. The same way He took His time making us He picked the family that’s perfect for us. I get so happy when I  think about His love for us. He surrounded us with the family that He wanted us to have. He made it so. Family has a special bond through it all.

What’s Tameeka Listening To?

Tears for Fears are one of my favorite bands in the whole entire world. Roland was my first celebrity crush. Recently I came across an old interview that he did pertaining to Oleta Adams. He spoke of how she got them back in touch with feeling music again. Imagine they where at the peak of their careers yet he was not above giving someone credit. I tell you Roland is a brilliant man. Head over heels is a classic song. Check it out:

 

 

 

 

 

Not Just Another Day

Today is not just another day. It’s a new day to start something new, do something special! Who knows what today could possibly bring? Let’s be open to possibilities so that we don’t miss opportunities. I rather live with regret from failing but not from not trying. Fear has no place with me. Now that I have given a pep talk it’s time to act. Faith without works is dead.

Pep Talk 101

Good Morning! Good Morning! Every day that you open your eyes give yourself a pep talk to boost the day like coffee. You don’t have to give a presidential speech just generate enough positive words can produce a tidal wave. Give yourself a pat on the back and yes it’s okay to toot your own horn. Besides God you and only you know about you. Yes in your life you have encountered bad things but do not stress too much about it because there have been positive things too. So don’t wait until your birthday to celebrate you give yourself that treatment everyday. You may not believe this but it’s so true one life touches another and that includes you! You are valuable.

Promise Of A New Me

There are so many things that I got from my mother that I am proud of my writing skills, curvy body and unfortunately a struggle with weight. Growing up I was a thin kid but as I got into my teens and older the battle of my weight began. I’m 5’7 so the ideal weight is between 129 pounds to 145 pounds. My weight would yo yo between 190 pounds to 210 pounds but once I had my boys my weight toppled to a whopping 289.  I tried everything that I could all the fad diets I would lose a few pounds and gain it all back and then some. My highest weight was 320 pounds. The emergency room was like my second home having constant headaches and chest pains. Finally on one of my visits to the emergency room a doctor that became acquainted with me sat me down and started to press on my leg he goes “Do you see that?” “That’s fluid it’s around your heart too.” “Stop eating!”

 

I was so fed up with my weight. When there were parent teacher conferences I would always pick times when it was really early or really late I didn’t want to be an embarrassment to my kids let’s face it children can be cruel. The boys had enough on their plates they didn’t need me to be one of them as well. So I just made up my mind that I was going to do something about my weight. I started with Weight Watchers and Slim Fast bars along with walking daily. Before I knew it I was down 60 to 80 pounds so I let go of Weight Watchers and the Slim Fast bars. I watched what I eat and walked. With God behind me to help with my will power I went from 320 pounds to 154 pounds. Everyday is a struggle I love food and I eat when stressed. But I just keep fighting.
