Documenting the Indian History of Oregon
Stephen Dow Beckham's Oregon Indians is an important collection of texts that documents Indian history of Oregon from the arrival of the first Europeans through the end of the twentieth century. Beckham, a scholar of Oregon Indian history for over forty years, includes some texts that are available elsewhere, such as the famous 1879 speech of the Nez Perce leader Chief Joseph in Washington, D.C., but most selections are little known and many previously unpublished. The sixty-five documents are mainly written statements or recorded words of Oregon Indians, but Beckham also includes white voices, both sympathetic and hostile. The result is a volume that gives readers access to Indian experiences and perspectives and sheds new light on the history of Indian/white relations in Oregon.
The book is organized chronologically and thematically. There are seven sections, each prefaced with a helpful introductory essay that provides historical context. "Encounters" documents Indian/Euro-American interactions from the earliest meetings in the late eighteenth century through the mid-nineteenth century when the United States formally claimed Oregon. "Treaties and Warfare" and "Removals and Reservations" cover the 1850s to the 1870s, years during which whites invaded Indian lands, disease and violence took their toll on the Indian population, and the federal government pressed Oregon Indians to cede their homelands and move onto reservations. "Walking the White Man's Road" shows how Indians adapted to and resisted a world now dominated by whites. It includes several texts by and about Indians who spoke out against the abuses of reservation life and the federal government's failure to fulfill its treaty promises. Two sections document Indian responses to the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act and the Termination Policy of the 1950s. These include a lot of valuable new material, some of it from Beckham's own files from his years assisting tribes seeking restoration. The final section, "Restoration of Hope," documents the efforts of Oregon tribes to defend their treaty-protected fishing rights, secure the settlement of land claims, and protect their religious rights and ancestral remains.
Certain themes reverberate throughout the volume. Again and again, Oregon Indians tell whites of the fundamental importance of land to tribal life and identity. At a treaty council in 1851, the Santiam chief, Ti-a-can, declared that his people's "hearts were upon that piece of land, and they didn't wish to leave it" (p. 119). Over one hundred years later, the Cow Creek chairman, Ellis Buschman, repeated this truth at a 1979 congressional hearing: "The Indians' belief is that the most meaningful thing the Great Spirit gave to us was our land. The removal of the Indians from this land was like the removal of the spirit from the body" (p. 521). These documents repeatedly remind readers that the pain of dispossession was, and is, acute and deep.
Beckham's selections also show that Indians in Oregon have continually sought to hold the federal government accountable for its failure to fulfill treaty promises or properly compensate them for lands taken. At a meeting in 1871 to discuss allotment, Kalapuya Indians protested their treatment at the hands of reservation agents and asked that the government provide the necessary goods and services promised to them. Joe Hutchings declared: "When the treaty was made many things were promised us. We never got any of them" (p. 321). And, in one of the strongest statements in the collection, Howard Barrett Sr., chair of the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw, condemned the American government before the United Nations in 1956 for seizing 1.7 million acres of tribal lands without compensation under an unratified treaty. As he put it, by allowing settlers to move on to his people's lands, the government effectively sanctioned "the unchristian, unlawful and larcenous treatment of these Indian tribes at the hand of the white man" (p. 452). Indeed, given the federal government's appalling record of mistreatment and betrayal that is well documented in this collection, one is all the more impressed when reading this volume by the extraordinary persistence of Indian people in pressing their claims for justice in--and beyond--the U.S. legal system.
In addition, Beckham wants to make readers understand the depth of violence and hatred to which Oregon Indians have been subjected. He includes, for example, an 1856 account by John Beeson of the atrocities perpetrated against Oregon Indians in the Rogue River War. A rare white American defender of Indian people, Beeson vividly described the wholesale slaughter of men, women, and children by volunteers and asked his readers to "suppose ourselves treated as the Indians were--that our property was taken away, our families scattered and destroyed, our people wantonly murdered, and ourselves made outlaws in our own land" (p. 165). Another grim report, written by Indian agent, F. M. Smith, details the massacre of a Coosan village by miners in 1854. By including these statements, Beckham allows these writers to bear witness again. Further, Beckham makes the point that the violence perpetrated by whites went hand in hand with the dehumanization of Oregon Indians. He accompanies accounts of murderous assaults with a selection from a 1925 history textbook in which Oregon Indians are described as "savage and barbarian," lacking "even the rude beginnings of civilization" (pp. 360-361). The persistence of such views is, unfortunately, all too evident in the 1976 statement by Forrest L. Meuret, an opponent of Indian participation in fishery management, who asserted that before "the coming of the white man ... the Indian ... had no written language, no wheel, nor beast of burden, and was not progressing" (p. 489).
As an editorial voice, Beckham pulls no punches. He condemns nineteenth-century reservations, for instance, as "death camps for the displaced and dispirited natives of western Oregon" (p. 234). He is particularly strong in his denunciations of the "disastrous policy of termination." He points out that Oregon Indians, though in many respects acculturated to white American society, suffered from low levels of income and education in addition to poor general health. When termination rendered Oregon tribes ineligible for Bureau of Indian Affairs educational assistance and Indian Health Care Services, and subjected them to heavy tax burdens that they were usually unable to pay, their living conditions further deteriorated. For many Oregon Indians, termination was, in Beckham's words, "the quick road to oblivion" (p. 438).
A reading of this rich collection suggests issues for further research. One topic, about which I expected more editorial comment, is the ways in which Indian voices have been translated and recorded over the years. Certainly, Indian anxieties about how whites recorded their words surface again and again. Fear of white American use of the written word is evident in an 1857 statement made by Jim, a chief of the Tootootenays band at Grande Ronde: "This Tyee is writing our names on paper. We hope that paper will be sent back to us. We are afraid to have our names on it. If it should be lost we will all die" (p. 239). Concerns about the ways in which white Americans used language are also raised in Joseph's speech: "The white man has more words to tell you how [things] look to him, but it does not require many words to speak the truth. What I have to say will come from my heart, and I will speak with a straight tongue. An-cum-kin-I-ma-me-hut (the Great Spirit) is looking at me, and will hear me" (p. 331). The contrast drawn here between the pure speech of Indians and the more artificial and implicitly less trustworthy speech of whites played into longstanding American ideas about the purity of "primitive" speech, but it also spoke to Oregon Indians' historical experience of communicating with white Americans. In this case, the story is even more complicated (although Beckham does not note this), because the text of Joseph's speech was not a direct translation and transcription of anything the chief might have said, but most likely a product of a collaboration among Joseph; his translator, Arthur Chapman; the superintendent of Indian Affairs in Oregon, Alfred Meacham, who arranged Joseph's trip; and General Nelson A. Miles.[1] The documents in Beckham's collection prompt further questions about the history of cross-cultural communication in Oregon: How did Euro-American use of the written word affect Indian/white interactions? What stylistic conventions did interpreters use to represent Indian speech, how did whites speak to Indians, and how and when did this change over time?
Another issue worthy of further exploration is religious change. The reference to the "Great Spirit" or "An-cum-kin-I-ma-me-hut" in Joseph's speech is intriguing in this regard, as are other references to God, the Creator, the Great Spirit Chief, and indigenous spiritual figures scattered throughout. It is also evident that several Indians recorded in the volume either identified as Christian or had adopted elements of Christianity. Questions of how, when, and why Oregon Indians accepted or rejected Christian beliefs and practices, and how their choices affected--and were affected by--their changing relations with white American society require further research. Unfortunately, in this volume, the history of Indian interactions with missionaries are represented only by documents relating to an 1843 attempt to impose laws on the Cayuse and Nez Perce by the missionary turned Indian agent, Elijah White, and by documents concerning the killing of the Congregationalist missionary Marcus Whitman and others by the Cayuse in 1847. There are no selections relating to Indian responses to Christian evangelization. Some material on the Indian Shaker Church that gained a significant following--and attracted significant opposition--on Oregon reservations in the twentieth century would also have been a valuable addition to this volume.
Of course, any edited collection will be subject to criticisms about inclusions and exclusions, such as the ones I have listed above. Clearly, Beckham had to make some difficult choices, and as he admits, his selections are "the tip of the iceberg" (p. xi). It should be noted, though, that Beckham relies heavily on public documents, such as testimony from legal hearings and council proceedings, particularly in the latter part of the volume. While such documents record the major challenges that have confronted Oregon Indian tribes and while it is true that many of them do contain personal stories, most of these documents record Indians speaking to whites in relatively formal contexts. More personal, autobiographical, and quotidian material to convey more of the texture and diversity of Oregon Indian life would have provided an important personal component to the volume. Another serious omission is maps. A map showing the extent of tribal territorial ranges prior to contact and a map showing the locations of reservations today would have been particularly useful.
That said, this is a rich and suggestive collection that gives readers a deeper understanding of the history of Oregon Indian people across a broad expanse of time. It also will be a valuable resource for teachers and researchers looking for sources documenting Indian responses to particular developments and policies over the last two centuries. We can only hope that other historians will be moved to produce similar collections for other regions.

This final gift a lively one
Before he died, Lee Weiser gave his injured friend a pup called Laddie, now a never-ending source of joy
Updated 12:31 pm, Tuesday, December 27, 2011
When Jim Nolan muscles his 6-foot-1-inch frame out of his wheelchair to use his walker, his black Labrador puppy, Laddie, stops playing and bounds over to Nolan's side.
"He walks next to me like he's going to catch me if I fall," Nolan said.
Nolan, 58, a professor and former dean of Siena College's business school, rode his bicycle off a path in September 2010 and damaged his spinal cord and neck vertebrae. A year ago, the Times Union wrote about Nolan's recovery and his determination to make the best of this change in his life.
With his usual positive spirit, Nolan said he had a great year but one of the highlights was Laddie, a final gift from a dying friend.
Nolan's best friend, Lee Weiser, was one of Nolan's first visitors in the hospital after his accident. Weiser, owner of the picture framing company Frame of Mind, had liver cancer and was on his third round of chemotherapy.
More Information
Seeing Nolan struggle to move his legs and arms devastated Weiser.
"He was very concerned about Jim's wellbeing," said Donna Hassler, Weiser's wife and director of Chesterwood in Stockbridge, Mass.
Knowing that Nolan had toyed with the idea of getting a black Labrador before the accident, Weiser decided to train a puppy for his friend. Weiser's own dog, a yellow lab named Cabot Cheese, had just fathered a litter. The puppy was born on Sept. 7, the day after Nolan's accident.
Weiser called his doctor to see if he'd live long enough to train the pup. His doctor told him to go for it.
"I think, in turn, the puppy was a good companion for Lee," Hassler said.
As Weiser's health began to deteriorate, Laddie spent the day sitting in Weiser's lap and playing nearby.
"The opportunity to train Laddie gave Lee another focus than his disease," she said.
Meanwhile, Nolan was recovering at Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital where he worked to regain control of his legs and arms. Nolan had no idea Weiser was raising a puppy for him and Nolan's wife, Mary MacKrell. On Nolan's first day trip out of Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital, Weiser insisted that he visit Weiser's home. Nolan thought the worst — he must be dying and wanted to say goodbye. But Weiser looked great. He plopped the black puppy on Nolan's lap and revealed his plan.
"I was just flabbergasted," Nolan said. Laddie scrambled over his legs and Nolan's face lit up in a smile.
"Little puppies are so cute and so cuddly and soft. It was a miracle," said Nolan, who had never owned dog before.
Weiser promised to deliver Laddie to the Nolans on April 16, the day after taxes were due. Nolan's wife is an accountant so Weiser knew they would be busy until then. When Weiser arrived after Tax Day, he had lost 50 pounds and his hair was gray and falling out.
Mostly, they talked about Laddie, but Weiser told Nolan he was ready to die. It was a brief visit. Weiser didn't have much energy. He died two weeks later.
But his gift fills the Nolan home.
Now 70 pounds of high energy, Laddie slides across the wood floors of their Greenwich house unable to stop his puppy momentum. Rambunctious, friendly, and a little unruly, the only time Laddie settles down is when Nolan traverses the house with his walker.
Nolan started teaching again at Siena, but when he is home, Laddie is by his side.

Guernsey Gas MD calls for a natural gas pipeline
The managing director of Guernsey Gas has called for the construction of a natural gas pipeline to the island.
Paul Garlick said a pipeline could help cut gas tariffs and energy costs.
Guernsey currently imports liquid petroleum gas, but a proposed energy plan due to be debated by the States calls for a review of the construction of a natural gas pipeline.
Mr Garlick said he was enthusiastic about the review, and said it would be "a huge asset and advantage".

Andrew Cunningham of AnandTech on an external Thunderbolt graphics card:
The Thunderbolt ViDock, when it's released, will be a boon to thin-and-light laptop owners who want good battery life and weight while they're on the road, but good graphics performance when they're at their desks.
I am not sure that I have mentioned on this blog at all, but when they first announced Thunderbolt, and I heard about it basically being a PCI Express bus with an external connection, I wondered if external video cards were on the horizon.
I think the market for this will be huge, and if Apple is smart they will offer this for the MacBook Air the same way they offer an external optical drive. I would love the opportunity to use my MacBook Air docked with a much more powerful video card that would allow for gaming and whatnot. I wonder if they would ever built this right into their external displays?

I'm not a Windows user, so forgive my stupid question: Is there a dir.exe or dir.com binary? If not, it might be a shell builtin, and thus not be available for launching externally.
Anyway, for file listings you can also use glob or opendir, readdir, closedir or File::Find (or File::Find::Rule, which has the more convenient interface for newcomers).

We hit St. George for the President's Day weekend. It was warm-er than Salt Lake, and on Saturday, after stopping by a local book shop (The Little Professor Bookstore on Main Street, which I recommend you visit), we decided to pick up some cupcakes.
My wife had been to 25 Main before, a little cupcake shop that she visits every time we are in town. The booths are covered with a light blue and brown pattern that is not unlike the fabric she likes to buy. And, not surprisingly, there are cupcakes there that she likes, as well. Especially the coconut flavored and sprinkled cupcakes.
"The best coconut cupcake I've had from anywhere," she says. We had heard that the banana were good, as well, but since they are only made Wednesday through Friday, we settled for the coconut, as well as a vanilla and a vanilla strawberry.
They weren't too shabby, either, as cupcakes go. Here's the thing, though: they weren't better than homemade cupcakes that I've had any number of times. The frosting was light and fluffy, the cupcakes were moist, but beyond that–average. They were small, the parchment no better than what could be bought in a grocery store, and the frosting not thick or remarkable.
But they cost $1.75 a pop.
Not sure if it's worth it. Good, but not great. Oh, and they have pizzas, paninis, pasta, and salads. I'll try those next time, because we'll be back; my wife loves the cupcakes.

Marketing Lesson We Learned in 2012
There's an old Girl Scouts that goes says, "Make new friends, but keep the old." That maxim is especially applicable to web marketers who sometimes get caught up the latest, greatest marketing tools at the expense of that old standby, e-mail.
Thanks to the incredible growth of the smartphone markets, checking e-mail is as easy as receiving a text. That means click-through rates on well crafted e-mail alerts, newsletters and bonus offers are still really high.
We're not saying that there's anything wrong with your new friends just don't forsake your old ones.
As any Girl Scout will tell you, "One is silver and the other is gold."

Advanced Higher English Dissertation Examples
A dissertation is simply an essential sounding brand to get a long composition – depending on your own research. Creating a dissertation is definitely an exciting, complicated, frequently fantastic and rewarding knowledge. At the same time it may be tiring, timeconsuming, exasperating and irritating.The same fundamental design is followed by many dissertations and so are comprised of an abstract five components methods and talk, results and recommendations. Even though precise aspect of each and every part may differ (including the amounts of phrases helped while in the abstract), the inclusion of each part is typical and mounted. I like to examine the dissertation's design with the structure of an orchestral work – extensively your dissertation possessing a prelude, activities that are principal along with an ending.

Spanish PM downplays Obama's decision to skip summitFebruary 5th, 2010 - 9:45 pm ICT by IANS
Washington, Feb 5 (IANS/EFE) Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said "it's not a problem" that President Barack Obama decided not to attend the European Union (EU)-US summit set for May in Madrid.
At a meeting with the editorial board of The Washington Post Thursday, Zapatero said he understands Obama's need "to leave more space between his visits to Europe", where he toured six times during his first year in office.
"Obama has an open door in Europe," the Spanish premier told The Post. "There is a very positive attitude. We shouldn't be thinking about what Obama can do for us, but what we can do for Obama."
"In this first year of Obama, we had a very intensive relationship," Zapatero said.
Zapatero, whose nation currently holds the EU rotating presidency, also talked about the need to renew the trans-Atlantic agenda, signed in 1995 by former US president Bill Clinton and then-Spanish prime minister Felipe Gonzalez.
The Spanish leader said the renewal is needed to prevent Europe and the US from being displaced from their world leadership roles by emerging powers like China and India.
US media have been pointing out that the lack of a concrete agenda at earlier US-EU summits was one of the factors contributing to Obama's decision not to travel to Madrid in May.
Earlier Thursday, Zapatero attended the US National Prayer Breakfast as Obama's guest.
After that event, and along with Spanish businessmen, Zapatero took part in a lunch and symposium at the US Chamber of Commerce.
The event was closed to the press, but Spanish officials told EFE the prime minister outlined his government's plan to reduce Spain's budget deficit to three percent of gross domestic product by 2013.
After noting that the US is the No. 1 investor in Spain, Zapatero expressed his government's wish for "a new wave of (US) investment" in Spain.
In remarks late Thursday to the Atlantic Council, Zapatero paid tribute to the soldiers who have died in Afghanistan and guaranteed that Spain has the determination to remain in that country to "get it afloat" and build a democracy.
Spain has around 1,000 troops serving in the South Asian country with the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force.
In a conversation after the prayer breakfast, Obama expressed to Zapatero his interest in "continuing to develop good relations" between the two countries, the White House said.

SiteOne Landscape Supply Inc. (NYSE: SITE) registered an S-1 form with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding its secondary offering. The company intends to offer 8 million shares with an overallotment option for an additional 1.2 million shares. There was no set price for the offering, but the most recent closing price is $35.07 per share, which would value the entire offering up to $322.6 million.
The underwriters for the offering are Goldman Sachs, UBS Investment Bank, Baird, Barclays, RBC Capital Markets, William Blair, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, HSBC, ING, Natixis, SMBC Nikko and Mischler Financial Group. Keep in mind that this company just came public in May of this year.
This is the largest and only national wholesale distributor of landscape supplies in the United States, and it has a growing presence in Canada. The customers are primarily residential and commercial landscape professionals who specialize in the design, installation and maintenance of lawns, gardens, golf courses and other outdoor spaces.
Through its expansive North American network of over 470 branch locations in 44 states and five provinces, the company offers a comprehensive selection of more than 100,000 stock keeping units, including irrigation supplies, fertilizer and control products, landscape accessories, nursery goods, hardscapes, outdoor lighting and ice melt products.

From Diabesity to Fabulosity with Jesus as my Personal Trainer By Naomi M. Melendez
A daily Blog of my experiences as I diet and exercise to achieve my goals, in getting back to fitness and health thru my faith and perseverance.
Day 1 Nov 18
Female, Weight: 312 Lbs. Age: 51.
A Diabetic with High blood pressure diagnosis and morbidly obese, aka Diabesity.
Tried the treadmill this morning. While watching the news, I did 5 minutes of average pace walking and burned a mere 12 calories.
Hopefully I will train my body back to fitness within 6 months.
My temporary goal is to burn up 35 lbs by my next birthday in March.
My permanent goal is to lose at least 100 lbs by this time next year.
Keep me in your prayers. :)
Day 2 Nov 19
Going to work out now...wow i am actually going to work out!!! Now I can show off that I too work out like the other beautiful people who dress up in slick and stylish workout gear. he he me in my wrinkled pajamas about to walk the treadmill and i can do it cause no one sees me and I can watch whatever I want on the big flat screen tv while walking and feel unashamed of my body. YAY!!! be back in 8-10 mins. LOL
oh and thanks for all the positive feedback from you all thank you Love you. GBU.
Below is a pic of the torture machine hehe.
Day 3 Nov 20
Today while watching Law & Order SVU, I walked the treadmill for 15:09 mins. and burned 67 calories,
Did much better today.
Ate 4 egg whites, hard boiled, 3 strips of bacon, diet cranberry and grapefruit juice. No bread.
Feeling good, thank you Jesus. Below is a pic of me on the machine.
Day 4 Nov 21
Woke up to a super foggy day. I am feeling rested. I got online to lead the Secondlife HOP Church Morning Prayers Service.
Here is a pic of me while online.
Now I will be going on the treadmill again and hoping to go over 20 mins today. Have a blessed day all.
Day 5 Nov 22
Just finished my morning workout.
Wow did 30:32 minutes and burned 160 calories. It was harder today but I prayed for mor stamina and the LORD came thru for me. Haleluyah.
Day 6 Nov 23
Today I woke up fully rested, thirsty and cold. the temperature went from 60F to 30F overnight brrrr.
Well I got a goal of 45 minutes on the treadmill today, let's see how that goes.
Last night I did not overeat the food so I am very proud of myself. Yay! Haleluyah!
GBU all my FB family and friends, see you later.
YAY! I did not meet the 45 minute goal this morning, but I passed yesterday's number, today I did 36:24 and burned 156 calories, did 1.33 miles...yesssss! Thank you LORD.
It is 10:05 pm I am feeling hungry and will grab a yogurt then watch some tv and go to sleep Good nite FB family God bless you.
Day 7 Nov 24
Good morning all.
Today I get to do 2 workouts, one before breakfast and the next one before dinner.
So, this morning I did 25:39 minutes and burned 102 calories. My afternoon workout goal is another 15-20 minutes.
Getting the hang of it. Have a blessed day everyone. xxxoooxxx
DAY 8 Nov 25
Today is a lovely day in Elgin. The temperature is cold but sunny. Having the sunshine can really lift up your mood. Thank you LORD.
I hope all are doing well. Happy Sunday to all.
I will be doing a short workout today. See you in about 30 mins. GBU.:-)
DAY 8 Part 2
I worked out for 45:50 minutes and burned 168 calories.
I am increasing in stamina and was able to recite 10 bible verses out loud while using the treadmill and did not lose my breath.
I am so very proud of myself.
3 months ago I couldn't even walk 2 blocks with out trying to catch my breath. Thank you LORD.
DAY 9 Nov 26
It's been 9 days already and it feels as if I just started.
Last night i was watching that made for TV movie about Liz Taylor and it got me thinking...I do NOT want to be like her...ever!!!
So now I am determined more than ever to succeed on my journey from the land of Diabesity to the land of Fitness.
I am going to walk for 45 - 60 minutes and burn 200 calories today. I proclaim it done in Jesus' name, Amen. Thank you LORD for your help.
Part 1 for today is done...I manage to walk at a good brisk pace for 50:25 minutes, burned 175 calories and completed 7 laps around the virtual track....part 2 of today's workout will r4esume in 2 hours and hope to complete another 20-25 minutes, getting the most time and the most burned calories today so far...Thank you GOD, for lovingly giving me the determination, discipline, stamina and endurance to achieve my goals to a healthier body, mind and spirit. Amen!
YAY! Part 2 for today...manage to complete 32.18 more minutes and burned another 114 calories. Thank You LORD now I go to Bible Study at HOP in Secondlife.
So I walked a total of one hour and 22 minutes and burned a total of 289 calories in one day. This is easier done by dividing the workouts into 2. I will modify my workouts into 2 a day, it's more efficient this way. Haleluyah.
DAY 10 Nov 27
Good morning all.
Woke up to a local temp of 19 f (-7 c) and jumped out of bed without breathing heavily.
Been a long time before I could do that. I feel lighter.
I thank the LORD for the stamina and endurance to continue with my goal to lose weight and get stronger and healthier.
I will be doing 2 workouts per day now and I find it much better than one long workout.
I accomplish more in 2 parts than in one.
Have a blessed day! :-)
OK I just completed Part 1 of my workout for today, I walked for 40:50 minutes and burned 137 calories, and did 5 laps around the virtual track. Part 2 will be in 3 hours and will do another 25 minutes.
Thank you LORD....By the way a FB friend gave me a link to a website called SparkPeople.com ...it is a helpful website for people who are losing weight and is the largest online diet and healthy living community with over 12 million registered members.
DAY 11 Nov 28
Hello all, hope you are all having a great day.
My goal today is to do 2 workouts of 30 minutes each and burn 300 calories.
I thank the LORD for the stamina and endurance for me to achieve my goals. God bless you all and thank you for your words of encouragement and emotional support.
Part 1...Just completed 42:12 minutes, burned 149 calories ans walked 6 laps, over 1.339 miles. Haleluyah! Thank you Lord. I find that talking with the Lord and reciting scripture verses makes the time fly so quickly for me while working out and helps me with my breathing.
Part 2 will be spent walking around Wal-Mart for an hour while shopping for a few items and getting some fresh air. The temperature outside is warmer than the last couple of days so it will be a nice day. Also my blood sugar level is now100 points lower than last week. Thank you GOD.
DAY 12 Nov 29
Wow it's been that long already? Feels like I just started.
Last night I felt my blood pressure was high, I don't know why but I was laying down trying to sleep and my heart was beating too fast or something. It might be the meatballs I ate with the salad. Could have been heartburn.
Anyway I prayed about it and within a few minutes it was gone and I went to sleep. Thank You LORD.
Today's goal:
Morning Part 1: 45 minutes walking and burn 150 calories.
Afternoon Part 2: 30 minutes walking and burn 100 calories
Well I did not get to do Part 2 of my routine today, was too tired...I did eat a huge salad and a bit of soup for dinner and my body just needs to rest...I have been working out every day since I started on Nov 18...I Will have to do harder tomorrow...Lord have mercy... Well goodnight FB family and friends God bless you.

I have also been watching some interesting and helpful videos on healthy cooking and low-fat, low-carb, high protein, recipes from Michael Kory Fitness and his lean body lifestyle videos.
I posted the link to his videos. recipes are quick and very easy to follow.
Tonight I am making oven fried chicken breasts using his recipe and will add a mixed salad with a cucumber yogurt with dill weed salad as a dressing.

My goal for today is to walk for an hour and burn over 200 calories. let's see how that goes. Thank you LORD for your blessings of strength and stamina during the workouts. Amen. ♥
Only did a few minutes of the workout today, was not feeling "it" today with all the cramps and minor headaches ( comes with the PMS) so i decided to chill out for today. I hope you all had a wonderful day. Hugs God bless you.
Today is Friday, December 14, 2012 and outside weather it feels like it's late October. Sunny and cool but not overly cold. I really like that.
I am feeling upbeat and ready to tackle another workout and
to try new healthy recipes. Thank you GOD for another day and for the stamina and energy you have given me to accomplish my goals for today. Have a blessed day everyone.
Today I could not focus much. I spent most of the day glued to the TV watching the news. I am feeling sadness and cannot concentrate on anything today. So I picked myself up and prayed, made an effort and managed to workout for 35 minutes and burned 210 calories while watching the news and asking myself, why?... My heart goes out to the children and the families of the victims of this senseless tragedy. Rest in heavenly peace little ones.
Today I checked my blood sugar level, and I am very happy to say that it is at the lowest level since I started the "From Diabesity to Fabulosity with Jesus as my Personal Trainer" Diet and Exercise Program. Thank you LORD! Today's goal is to workout for an hour in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon and to burn 300 calories. Have a blessed and peaceful day all.
Ok I completed my workout for today and accomplished my goal and more. As you can see, I manage to burn over the amount I was hoping for, 326 calories and in less than an hour. Thank you JESUS!
Good Sunday to all.
Today I made myself a toasted pita pocket with vegetable cream cheese and sliced tomatoes for breakfast and some 50% less sugar orange juice.
I have decided to do an after noon workout today and so for the morning, I am relaxed and watching Christian Church programs and also the History channel on TV.
I hope you are all having a blessed day.
I failed to do my workout today, instead I took a break. Hope to do it better tomorrow.
Good morning my FB family and friends.
I woke up an hour earlier today to get my 1st workout out of the way and I am so glad I did it.
Lost another pound. He he, a pound is a pound. Ever seen a pound of butter? Well it is huge. So I am happy.
Have a blessed day everyone, remember to hug your loved ones and kiss them and tell them you love them and then follow- up with action. GOD Bless you.♥

It is now 8:00 am, at aprox. 6:02 am I was dreaming... in my dream I was in a bed and it was shaking and things falling down around me from the walls. I woke up feeling like some earthquake was going on. So I go back to sleep and I wake up at 8 am and go to my computer and I Google any earthquakes happening and sure enough at the same time of my dream there was an earthquake.
