Christmas Cookie Rules...
1. If you eat a Christmas cookie fresh out of the oven, it has no calories because everyone knows that the first cookie is the test and thus calorie free.
2. If you drink a diet soda after eating your second cookie, it also has no calories because the diet soda cancels out the cookie calories.
3. If a friend comes over while you're making your Christmas cookies and needs to sample, you must sample with your friend. Because your friend's first cookie is calories free, (rule #1) yours is also. It would be rude to let your friend sample alone and, being the friend that you are, that makes your cookie calorie free.
4. Any cookie calories consumed while walking around will fall to your feet and eventually fall off as you move. This is due to gravity and the density of the caloric mass.
5. Any calories consumed during the frosting of the Christmas cookies will be used up because it takes many calories to lick excess frosting from a knife without cutting your tongue.
6. Cookies colored red or green have very few calories. Red ones have three and green ones have five - one calorie for each letter. Make more red ones!
7. Cookies eaten while watching "Miracle on 34th Street" have no calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one's personal fuel.
8. As always, cookie pieces contain no calories because the process of breaking Causes calorie leakage..
9. Any cookies consumed from someone else's plate have no calories since the calories rightfully belong to the other person and will cling to their plate. We all know how calories like to CLING!
10. Any cookies consumed while feeling stressed have no calories because cookies used for medicinal purposes NEVER have calories. It's a rule!
So, go out and enjoy those Christmas Cookies - we only get them this time of year!

Looking Back
Looking back a year ago this month i couldn't(or had trouble ) etc
Breath well
had trouble walking a long distance
always eating
always making excuses for eating this and that
wore big clothes so the fat wouldn't show
couldn't run with out feeling like i was dieing
i couldn't sit on the floor with legs folded without hurting
never found big enough clothes to cover my body
i ate non healthy foods
I always looked down on the skinny folks
I was shame on how i looked and never did anything about it
i hated going out with groups of people
I never bettered my self because i didn't feel good about my self etc
and the list goes on
ALL BECAUSE of WEIGHT ..........
TODAY I
I can breath GREAT
I talk to more folks now
I wear clothes i like and they are small clothes
I eat healthier
I stop when i am full (which isn't much 0
I am working my new stomach
I enjoy running with bailey and karley
I walk now with out hurting
I don't drink the UN healthy stuff
I don't (still in progress working on ) eat bad foods
I have lost 123lbs and still loosing (wouldprobaly be at my goal but like i said i am NOT perfect )
I feel like i have a new beginning in life. I know i will have a better life due to my surgery .
This month will be a year (DEC29) since surgery

letter from JESUS
Letter from Jesus about Christmas --
It has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks are taking
My name out of the season.
How I personally feel about this celebration can probably be most easily understood by those of you who have been blessed with children of your own. I don't care what you call the day. If you want to celebrate My birth, just GET
ALONG AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
Now, having said that let Me go on. If it bothers you that the town in which you live doesn't allow a scene depicting My birth, then just get rid of a couple
of Santas and snowmen and put in a small Nativity scene on your own front lawn.
If all My followers did that there wouldn't be any need for such a scene on the
town square because there would be many of them all around town.
Stop worrying about the fact that people are calling the tree a holiday tree,
instead of a Christmas tree. It was I who made all trees. You can remember Me
anytime you see any tree. Decorate a grape vine if you wish: I actually spoke of
that one in a teaching, explaining who I am in relation to you and what each of
our tasks were. If you have forgotten that one, look up John 15: 1 - 8.
If you want to give Me a present in remembrance of My birth here is my wish
list. Choose something from it:
1. Instead of writing protest letters objecting to the way My birthday is
being celebrated, write letters of love and hope to soldiers away from home.
They are terribly afraid and lonely this time of year. I know, they tell Me all
the time.
2. Visit someone in a nursing home. You don't have to know them personally.
They just need to know that someone cares about them.
3. Instead of writing the President complaining about the wording on the cards
his staff sent out this year, why don't you write and tell him that you'll be
praying for him and his family this year. Then follow up... It will be nice
hearing from you again.
4. Instead of giving your children a lot of gifts you can't afford and they
don't need, spend time with them. Tell them the story of My birth, and why I
came to live with you down here. Hold them in your arms and remind them that I
love them.
5. Pick someone that has hurt you in the past and forgive him or her.
6. Did you know that someone in your town will attempt to take their own life
this season because they feel so alone and hopeless? Since you don't know who
that person is, try giving everyone you meet a warm smile; it could make the
difference.
7. Instead of nit picking about what the retailer in your town calls the
holiday, be patient with the people who work there. Give them a warm smile and a
kind word. Even if they aren't allowed to wish you a "Merry Christmas" that
doesn't keep you from wishing them one. Then stop shopping there on Sunday. If
the store didn't make so much money on that day they'd close and let their
employees spend the day at home with their families
8. If you really want to make a difference, support a missionary-- especially
one who takes My love and Good News to those who have never heard My
name.
9. Here's a good one. There are individuals and whole families in your town
who not only will have no "Christmas" tree, but neither will they have any
presents to give or receive. If you don't know them,
buy some food and a few gifts and give them to the Salvation Army or some
other charity which believes in Me and they will make the delivery for you.
10. Finally, if you want to make a statement about
your belief in and loyalty to Me, then behave like a Christian. Don't do
things in secret that you wouldn't do in My presence. Let people know by your
actions that you are one of mine.
Don't forget; I am God and can take care of Myself. Just love Me and do what I
have told you to do. I'll take care of all the rest. Check out the list above
and get to work; time is short. I'll help you, but the ball is now in your
court. And do have a most blessed Christmas with all those whom you love and
remember :
I LOVE YOU,
JESUS

Heavy Heart
You know you never know when its going to be your time to leave this earth. Every day i tell my family and kids how much they are loved by me. If anything if i ever had to leave this earth at least they would know how much i love them.
I have lost a loved one this week She was too young to go and leaves behind a 4yrold child. But the the worest part is On monday i drove by in the bus with lots of high school kids by the wreck site and i told them someone just lost a loved one............Never in my life would of i thought it would be someone who i babysat or lived across the street nor a family member. Then i get to work and find out it was my own . A long distance cousin . So now i will have to face that wreck site every day and think what a sweet girl the lord has taken to be with him .
Please pray for the Grimes family during this time of lost. And the child who will have to grow up with out a mother in site but a mother in her heart that she loved so much .
http://www.khou.com/news/local/HPD-Speeding-teen-crashes-flips-SUV-in-water-69462807.html (she wasnt a teenager but due to her diabetes she was a small girl and went into a diabetic shock coma before she wrecked )

HAPPY HALLOWEEN
I hope this finds you all warm . It's pretty chilly out there. Karley has her last game this morning (sorta glad its almost over with too much drama with those parents out there ....think they should do their own game ) . Then i will come home and pick up and get kids ready for trunk and treat. Then come home and throw the candy away lol. (you would too if you saw the dentist bills i got on monday for these kids )
Weight
Its going on 11months and i started my journey at 296lbs and now i am down to 177lbs .
Now according to my Doctor he wanted me to stop at 165 so with that said i would only have 12lbs to go but i want to beat that and i want to go down to 140 so i have 37lbs to go i am so excited. I have set me a goal of doing this by Dec 29 so i am hoping with my best friend estban(mentor in support group ) and me working on this i will be able to get it off before then. I just hope i am strong enough with the holidays coming up that i can do this. I have to put my mind to it and pick the right foods and not the wrong. I KNOW I CAN DO THIS I KNOW I CAN I CAN I CAN ICAN >>>>>>>
Ok off here to get ready for game. HOpe you all have a safe Halloween and watch out for the kiddos.

HEY
Well sure you thought i felled off the edge lol. NO just been very busy around here. The month of july is so busy for us. Kids got so many things they are doing this summer.
WEll remember the camp i wrote about back in April that we got flooded in . WEll we tried doing it this past weekend. WEll after this deadly heat we are having here in texas we decide noon on sat we would shut down camp . Bailey was under the weather because of the heat i was about to die. That heat was terrible. So maybe our fall camping will be cooler.
This week is crazy from scrapbooking classes, to sending bailey off to camp (that he won) to starting work. Yep i start this morning in training on driving the bus. I am excited but know i will be bored out of my mind learning about the bus.
Karley will be enjoying some time with her granny while i am at work and Bailey will be at camp half of the week .
WEll i guess thats about it . I need to get my shoes on and get ready for work .
LOVE YOU ALL
JULIET
PS EMMETT WAY TO GO ON YOUR RUN WITH FAMILY . WIsh i was a runner

Transformation ......... Are you Transformed????
I got to start off to say I go to the coolest church ever. I still don't know everyone but the ones I know I have know for a while. My pastor is doing lessons on TRANSFORMATION. Well today i learned something about my pastor i never knew. In a 3-5 minute length of a song he created this unbelievable picture (see pictures below) .... all i could say was WOW. This is a man who was my pastor at church camp (back in the days we wont ask how long ago lolol) and i never knew he had this awesome talent. I know you are probably going to say anyone can paint or draw and that's true but this was too amazing to me to not share. And its not ever day you can find a guy with this much love paint a picture of our JESUS........ Enjoy (love ya pastor )

Enjoying the summer with my kids
Not sure why the pictures are on top . The post is at the bottome lol
I love summers but of course not the heat here in texas. But summer time i plan all kind of things for my kids. When i was growing up we stayed home daily never did much beside visit family . It was boring we made due with what we had . I had homemade toys , i pretended grocery store, played under the tree , put a diaper on my dog etc. Yes they were great times and i wouldnt want it any other way back then. But now days kids want to go , go , go . Well , I am sure i have some readers that are going to put their heads shaking when i post what i have on my mind. But ask me if i care NO because its my kids and my doings i do with my kids. I have nothing bad to say about staying home with family here at the murray's we do it sometimes too. But since we dont have a yard or any yard toys i must take my kids places or to mom's. So, with that said we went to our second time this summer to crosby community center (its only on weds) . Each week is a theme . Today was Fire safetly and the sprayed the kids with the truck hose. It was so much fun. Then i took them to the library and they got to pick three books out and a movie a piece. We do this until end of july plus the park is next door so i take them there too. On fridays they been going swimming. Well , this friday we are going to Old mcdonald farm. I found some coupons in the houston family magazine.
I do outings on a budget. This summer everything we are going to do i have a coupon on or found a discount code for it. Plus a lot of places are offering deals and things.
SO you can have a filled fun summer on a budget if you do your work by looking. Alot of great offers are out there you just have to look .
So anything exciting you are doing with your kids this summer or places you would like to share ?
closing with pictures

Camps are over YIPPIE
My kids last night at girl and boy scout camps (two different places) are done. Karley made a sock monkey and other crafts and learned new songs. Bailey got hosed down by the fire dept and went hiking and make nature crafts. They had a lot of fun. I am so glad my kids enjoy scouts. I would rather see them in a group that is lead by good postive standards and teaches them the respect of the lords nature etc. I am just not a sports mom (THANKGOODNESS they arent into sports).

Things i can do now but didnt do 5 months ago
I have been looking back on my life again. I know i posted this before but wanted to add to the list lol.
Some of these things might not be a big thing to you skinny folks but for someone who is learning a new life it is big.
Things i couldnt do but can do now
cross both of my legs (both ways)
bring my knees to my chest )
I have been running a little bit (funny thing is i find my self running on my toes now thats strange ) lol
When i am running or walking fast i am not out of breath anymore.
I am eating soooooooooooo much better now and picking good choices (not couting wed night i will explain that one later)
I am moving more then use to . Most days before surgery you would find me not wanting to go outside in the heat or not wanting to go shopping. Now i am always on the go.
I was not very excited to go to a gym in the pass now i am dieing to get back into the gym today. I been out of the gym for two weeks because one i was burned and two i had two camps to attend.
So thats just a few things i wanted to share. Now you are probably going to ask about Wed night... Well wed i stopped at sonic to get a cup of ice and i saw the ice cream sign (see where this is going) . Well i gave in and ate a ice cream cone on the way to camp .......... OH it tasted sooooooooooooooo wonderful but as soon as i got to camp ....... yep i was in the bathroom . After that my stomach hurt Well thursday i basically stayed in house because my stomach still hurted from that darn ice cream. SO you probably asking WHY IN THE WORLD DID YOU EAT THAT STUFF>............. Well i am normal just like you are. And i am still learning how to eat RIGHT and make right choices. I knew better to not eat that but i let my mental part of me give in. That's something i will deal with the rest of my life . Would i try to eat ice cream again ............ i don't know but i sure don't want that pain again so i probably wont. But i am just showing you one example just because i had the surgery its not the easy way out. I still have to work my stomach right and i have to feed it good choices. But for 31 years i have fought fried foods, starches etc so its a challenge i will have to face on a daily basis.
Well off to get ready to go to the gym WOHOOO
Love
juliet
PS Steve if you are reading this ......................... i am going to hide lolol I know LESSON LEARNED on ice cream lol guess i should of called before i ate it lolol for some pointers lol

Things in life just crack me up sometimes
I am on facebook and they do quiz's well here was one i had to take and this is the person the quiz says i am . (this is my favorite movie of all times)
Juliet completed the quiz "Which Female Grease Character Are You?" with the result Sandy.
Sweet, wholesome, naive, and cute, you are Sandra Dee indeed. You are sweet and caring, but have a small rebellious streak as well. You wear your heart on your sleeve, are beautiful, pure, and hopelessly devoted to to your man..

Good Morning
Wow summer has already started and i been on the go every day already. Tomorrow i am going to go and take my test for cdl (praying i pass it finally ) . So tonight its STUDY STUDY STUDY lol.
Bailey is off this week but we have alot to do as a family . Then he starts summer school next week.
karley well she is just her ole drama self . lol
I started chore charts and lets just say one likes it and one doesn't lol. Guess they will figure out that Momma expects alot from them now that they are getting older. No reason why they cant keep up their part of the house . If i don't start teaching them ways of life then who will ....NO BODY i am the parent . I was brought up to do chores etc and my kids will do the same.
Ok off to church Have a blessed weekend

5 months WOW and Update
Ok this week will mark 5months since i had surgery . So here are some details
Five months ago i was
296 lbs
wore size 32 in pants
wore a size 3x or bigger shirt
i couldn't do alot of physical activity
i was on high dose of blood pressure meds
was taking a fluid pill
was always out of breath etc
TODAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
i am 81lbs lighter
weigh 215
i joined a gym that is kicking my hinny
i wear a size 18w (that's 6 sizes down)
i wear a size 1x shirt (depending on the way its made) two sizes down
My shorts i had for four years that never fit and i had to lay down to button them now are falling off of me now
I am always busy now moving around with kids
I hate sitting now that i know i can move with out getting out of breath
I can cross my legs
I can run now
I can walk fast now
I eat better and foods i never ate before now i eat
I make right choices when i do go out to eat. (instead of fried i go with grilled etc
I am teaching my kids how to eat healthier
I shop at stores that have better selections of foods for the kids and me to eat.
I don't eat much beef anymore but instead i eat turkey chicken tuna fish
I drink tons of water now (use to be tons of sugar drinks etc
I watch the portion control now.
And the exciting list just keeps going but i will stop here.
So now my goal is to loose the 15lbs or be under 200 by my birthday (July 22) i know i will but i still like setting goals for my self
Ok you all have a great Memorial weekend and remember who fought for you and our country . Tell them THANKS

ARGGG
Dang it DANG IT LOL
I was so excited to make this soup mix i gotten. Well instead of doing it on the stove stop i decided to do it in the crock pot ............Well i guess the cooking directions are different . I had it in there for about two hours or so and i took it out and let it cool off and put it in the ice box. WELL i just went and got some and sat down and the rice isn't cooked..............arggg i just wanted some soup now i am stuck with figuring out what i am going to eat now ........... Lesson learned i guess lol
Well i went to meet my trainer today (did i tell ya he is a hottie lolol) but he is very sweet guy and i believe he knows what he is talking about and he isn't one of these trainers that are Stuck on themselves lol. So i did my stuff and basically according to the computer i should be taking in 1943calories i am lucky if i am taking in 1000 or so so i guess now i will be focusing on intake of protein and calories. So i am going back tonight for my weight class.
Sat i am going to meet him at 945 to do a one on one thing. (GOD HELP ME LOL) . Then after that i will take kids to swim testing. I will be enrolling the kids in swim lessons soon (or i am considering ) .. I LOVE THIS GYM if you have a lifetime fitness by you go check it out. I am enjoying it and i cant wait till i can enjoy the pools and steam rooms and spas etc.
Ok off to pick up and head to gym later
have a great memorial day weekend (and remember the fallen )
LOVE

Howdy
WOW the month of may has just flown by. Some of you know that Thurs is my last day to teach at MBC. or is it ? Long story short i am trying to get my cdl for school bus driver but every time i turn i got a bump in the road. Well Friday i went and thought ok this is the day ........Well 500.00 later i am getting glasses this week because i failed the eye exam. SO i am starting to wonder if this is a SIGN.......... you know the redneck comedian HERE IS YOUR SIGN lolol.
Kids are excited we joined lifetime fitness gym this week. They are having a ball at the child's center. I am considering putting them in swim lessons(god help me lol) . I joined a one month free pass for the gym's weight loss group its ok but i think i could do more on my own. SO i will go and finish the month with them and see what or how i feel after wards.
As far as my weight loss its a stopping point right now. But its ok i have all summer to push my self i am setting a goal that by my birthday (July 22) i loose the 18lbs that i have to go to get to 200lbs. Can i do it i am going to give it all i got this summer to make it happen.
Good note or a WOW moment i have went down from a 32 in waist size down to a 18 waist size (workout clothes) . YIPPIE ME
Off to finish cleaning i feel asleep at 530 last night (guess i am tired lol) and just woke up at 2am so the house work i didn't get to do i am doing now lol .
