Lamb Chop baa baa!!!

All went well yesterday at church....I tried my hardest not too talk to fast..tried not to get distracted by the kids moving around....tried not to get distracted when Lorraines mobile went off twice..we all laughed cos I said that it had better be a prayer request they were ringin with :o) lots of people from church missing yesterday but it was just nice and Jesus was in da house.

Had a good day at work today, my lovely friend Alan has an interview on Wednesday for TK Macs in London. He asked whether I would pray with him, it was really lovely, we went into the stockroom and held hands and just prayed...dead simple, it was a really special moment. Last time I prayed with him was about his driving test and he passed...ty Jesus do it again.

Had a salsa workout tonight with Elaine and Monica....very knackering and my hips just would not move they flippin wobbled a lot but thats about it hehe. It was good fun anyway and we all burnt some calories ready for the weigh in tomorrow...I was naughty on saturday and had some minted lamb chops so am feeling worried...been trying to think of excuses for tomorrow..if I haven't lost any weight I am gonna tell the woman that I have been stressed and as a result of the stress have been sleep eating hehehe...ah well what will be will be.

going to bed now to dream of cakes...I need fat!!!

night n God Bless

Yippeeee!

Well its been a couple of weeks since I posted anything, I don't know what happens but time seems to run away from me. Just so busy with work and church and other things.

Went to my fat club on Tuesday and was so worried that I hadn't lost any weight cos I had been a bit lazy, I had been eating the right stuff but just been too tired to do any aerobics, anyway it ended up that I had lost 3 pounds and got slimmer of the week yay.... it doesn't seem that much I know but if I keep it steady I'll be a skinny Linz soon.

Work is ok, had a bit of a stressful Thursday and Friday though. We are in the middle of completing staff opinion surveys at the moment and my boss made a bad decision and decided that she would complete some for the staff that hadn't been in for a while due to sickness/holidays...anyway it ended up that the results got flagged up by the agency that the surveys are submitted to as they were completed in less than a minute. Human resources were told and unfortunately my boss got a call to say they knew what she had done and investigations were under way and she was most likely goint to be suspending pending interviews etc...she rang me and told me about all this and I felt pretty bad as I knew she was fiddling them but had just stood by and said ' you have to do what you have to do' pretty irresponsible I know. I wish that I had had some integrity and spoke to her....it ended up that all the other stores in my group had done the same, the matter was dropped..a close shave and I think we all learnt a lesson... I learnt that even if it makes me unpopular I need to speak up for whats right and wrong. I did end up praying with my boss on Friday afternoon about it, that was pretty good.

I am leading the meeting this morning as Ian and Chris are away at Brengle, not sure if anyone will even come to church as loads of people told me last week that they were away for the weekend.... not that bothered about that really. I spent some time last night giving myself to Jesus again to be used by Him in everything I do and especially this morning, cos what I say could affect someones salvation..its a scary thought that I might say the wrong thing or not follow Gods leading.

Fat cow!!!

No I haven't seen any fat cows today..I'm referring to myself hehe I joined rosemary conley last week cos I desperately need to lose weight..as my sister said to me "Linz you know you have a problem when you have trouble wiping your own backside" I apologise for including that comment on my blog but I liked it haha!!! apololgies to anyone who may be offended by that.
Anyway this week I have been sticking to 1200 calories a day, I'm sure I have malnutrition, I am constantly thinking of food and am boring everyone and myself.....if I haven't lost any weight at the weekly weigh in I'll have to get drastic and maybe do a bit of DIY amputating hehe.
I am missing chocolate so much :o(

Church this morning was lovely as usual, lots of people missing due to holidays, outings etc lots of really good testimonies and singing cos we do sing really well even if we don't know the songs.
We had the barbeque last week and had our service outside, I did mean to write about it then but I am always cream crackered after work... it was really lovely and we had about 5 come that just pop in every now again so it was nice to see them..sadly Jane and the kids didn't come but I will keep mithering and mithering.

I was thining this morning that if I eventually lose all my excess blubber, my friends would notice that and I could tell them about Rosemary conley and I bet they would be dead interested and I bet even some of them would come.....why is it so flippin hard sometimes to get people to come to church, the good news that Jesus died for them is tonnes better than any weight loss club but people just don't see it.

Need to go and eat now, I have a lovely cardboard sandwich waiting for me hehe

bye for now

Oh Happy Day!

Haven't had chance to get on here for over 2 weeks due to the stresses of work, don't want to waffle on too much about it as I know most people work hard but I just want to spend a few moments in self pity hehehe...just kidding. Just sat here now praying that my mobile won't ring as it will be work saying they need me in...yawn. Its a beautiful day outside and I can think of tonnes of good stuff to be doing and none of them involve me lifting a finger.

Just got the latest issue of McDUK through at work (its the McDonald's staff mag) and me and my lovely friend Alan made it onto the front cover and page 4 woohoooooooooo its a really lovely photo and I 'm so glad cos Alan is leaving soon sob sob I sent my employment story to McDs so they could use on recruitment stuff and won an ipod for it..easy peasy stuff.

We are having an open air meeting tomorrow at church followed by a barbeque, I'm really excited..last week at church we prayed that God will touch any people that walk past our church tomorrow and they will see us praising and worshipping Him and want Him too. It should be an ace morning as it always is at church.. I will try to get some pics posted either on here or on Swinton 4 Jesus.

Gonna go and get some brekkie now so......in a bit!!!
