Cathe Beginners/Intermediates- Happy Thanksgiving

I know most people believe that Thanksgiving Day is about being thankful for what God has given us. And for some not given us. I am thankful for my husband, sons, extended family. They all make it so that I can go to work and not worry about the safety of my boys. If I am short on anything: money, food, hope, or love; they all pitch in. I also praise God for things He chose to not bless me with this year. For instance at the present I want to change industries. I have been in banking since I came out of college seven years ago. I have sent out resumes, set interview appointments. Well a particular university in my city is my focal point. I was told by the woman that hosts my Bible Study and is a professor for the same university that they were doing quite a few layoffs and this was not a good time to be a newbie. Also, my husband let me know that he is (never discussed this with me)now part owner in a pizza shop. He has asked that I help with the bookkeeping.
I know there are some of you that have asked God to heal members in your family or close friends of illnesses and that has not happened yet. I know there are some that would like to have a child, but it hasn't happened. God did not forget about any of us. Just lean in a little harder, seek His face, and your's, mine, and our prayers will be answered in God's timing. God doesn't keep a watch and will never have one. Waiting on God is our opportunity to do as He asks while waiting for the breakthroughs. Waiting hopefully, will cause us to see the need of someone else and help.

I stayed on course with the workouts that I had planned with an unexpected twist. Yesterday I did the Power Training CXT as I had scheduled; but in the morning I went with my sister to her gym as a guest and got in a moderate workout. I did 30 min on the Treadmill and about 15 min on the bike. I got in two workouts yesterday and I did the Step Blast as I had planned too. I am ahead of all of you for the week by one workout. Also weight loss has resumed again. That time of the month is almost over and the weight is coming off again. I will let you all know the result on Sunday as normal. My body feels tighter. My abdomen feels flat, hips are feeling tight.
Anyway, my family is starting to get bigger with the arrival of family friends. I hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving. Don't stay up too late. The stores around here are opening at 5a.m. Last two years Wal-mart has had people fighting for spaces in front of the doors to be the first inside.
God Bless!!

Happy Thanksgiving Belinda and everyone!!

I am thankful for my family, friends and good health, new co-workers that have been nothing but super, super nice and easy to work with. About 1 1/2 years ago I was working at a job in a hospital and it was stressing me out very deeply. I liked working with this particular doctor and the staff but the job itself was just going down for me. The doctor I worked with knew something was wrong with me and my performance. On the inside something was telling me that it was time for me to leave but I just couldn't because of how I felt about everyone and I didn't want to leave this doctor in a bad position. He called me into his office and talked to me to find out what was wrong and when I looked at him I just started crying and I told him that I had to leave and that I was turning in my notice. I didn't even have another job except for a part-time job. It was so hard for me because even though I really didn't want to leave something was pushing me to leave. Well I left and found another job in the same field 3 weeks later which was in March. In December the hospital was sold and bought out by another company and there were many layoffs and firing. The lady that replaced me in that particular job was only there 1 1/2 years and they let her go they said it was to "cut costs". After they let her go I was thinking "that should've been me". "That was my position". I took a cut in pay when I took the new job and a year later they re-evaluated my salary range and make $3.00 more per hour than I did before I left.

God knew the plan! God got me out of that job just in time! He always has a plan for our life and we might not know what it is at that time but if we put our trust in GOD everything will be just fine.

Belinda you are 2 workouts ahead of me. I didn't exercise today as I said I would. Just relaxing and watching TV. I do however want to go to Kmart to pickup something I saw in the Sales Ad tomorrow at 6:00 am.

Kimberly and Belinda, thanks for your posts today. I am having a rough time with the death of our 10 year old dog today, Zach. It was his time, but it is so difficult to be without him. I am thankful that we had 10 wonderful years with him. I know God will help my husband and me to get through this pain. He is faithful.
