Attention all you Exercisers!

Now that I have your attention! =) I have some questions that maybe ya'll can help me on??? I have reached another plateau and it is driving me INSANE! I assume I now need to adjust my caloric intake, so I did. I am wondering though, could I be exercising too much? I typically burn around 2700 calories a week, or I aim for 600 a day. I use sparkpeople to track my food and exercises and they say I should only kill 800 calories a week by exercising. IS THIS RIGHT?? I will happily step it down a notch or so, but I was wondering what ya'll thought???
Please comment and let me know what ya think!
Thanks a bunches!!!

NEW ME!!

We went to church tonight for a still life of when Jesus was crucified on the cross. It was VERY MOVING. I sat there and thought about different things that are going on in my life, and decided I'd rededicate my life to my Lord. Yes, I cried, and cried, and cried... you get the picture.

I have been so stressed with my home and work life, that I would leave out my time for God. (which could be indeed the reason for the stress) But I vowed to Him that I would be the person that He needs me to be, so that I can help Him make my family what He wants it to be. I have 2 children that I have very involved in the church, so they have a GREAT background with God like I do, but some days I know they don't see Him through me, and that is something that I do not like. And with me wanting more children I know this is very important, and it helps that I married a family very involved in the church as well.

I had prayed for YEARS for finding me a man that would love me and my children and accept us for who we are. Little did I know, the mother of the man I married prayed for YEARS for her son to find a woman that would love him as she loves her husband, and have babies, She became an instant grandmother =)

Jamie, I love you and your family so much... you will never know how I feel... REALLY!! Thank you for loving me in ways that I never thought was humanly possible!

I'm gonna close on the note... be careful what you pray for as it can very well happen... Hence my surgery in July =)

much love,
Leigh

FANTABULOUS NEWS!!!!

Yes, this is totally different from yesterday's post. I mentioned in that post everything happens for a reason. While I was upset on my way home the other day I called the dr. office to see about getting my surgery done NOW! Well, they called me back this morning, and after 2 hours of phone calls... drum roll please.....
I have a surgery date of July 8th to have my tubes put back together so I can have a BABY!!! I am super so excited that I have done nothing but pace the floors... the surgery will be in Mobile at 7:30 am, good thing is I will still be sleep while they "knock me out" LOL!
I have got back on the diet bandwagon this is exactly what I needed to get my behind in gear! I have stock piled the cabinets and refrigerator and dusted off the tv and treadmill. =)
Thanks for all the positive words and emails, I sooo needed to hear the things that I did!
Love to you all!!!

Depressed....

Ok folks I need some help here!

I have fell off my dieting bandwagon! The good news is that I have not gained any weight, the bad thing is I haven't lost any either! =( ( I could use some motivating words!)

I have been demoted the positiion I have been in at work for the last 8 years. I view this as positive and negative. I have been wanting to change to another role for quite sometime and this may just be the time to do it! EVEYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON! and I am well aware of that, but GEEEZ why does it have to be so hard?

Also, on the update for the reversal. I have been cleared from my dr. in Hattiesburg for my blood pressure, it has come down YAY! so I am waiting on the dr. in Mobile to let me know when to have the surgery, maybe it will be sooner than I though ;) I definately hope so!

Thanks for listening to me whine! LOL!

Have a GREAT week!
