210.6-Tuesday

10789 pedometer steps
1425 calories for today

exercise was
25 minutes floor exercises and hand weights
40 minutes arobics
and all day playing with baby

Today was a day that everytime I turned around i thought about chocolate, how good it taste and how much I did enjoy my binge yesterday until it was over and then did not enjoy it at all.

So I ate healthy-2 protein shakes, 1 egg white, 2 slices low calorie whole wheat bread, one papaya, 3 cups of coffee w/ creamer and used sweet and low sweetener, a vegetable platter of cucumber-raw mushrooms, one carrot, one stalk celery, 6 small cauliflower , 12 cherry tomatoes and 2 T. blue cheese dressing, one diet meal, 2 pieces of fruit, and 2 pieces of chewing gum. Not is that order.

Everything was healthy and good for me with a mind on vitamins and fiber and antioxidants.

Baby was in such a sweet mood today. He hurt his toes yesterday and so to baby him up a bit, I took him out this morning and bought him two sets of magnetic alphabet letters and he played with them and played with them, and I bought him 6 books and I read them over and over and over. He especialy likes one called bubbles bubbles. Bubbles in your hair and bubbles in the air, bubbles bubbles everywhere. Bubbles on your nose bubbles on your toes, etc.

Not much happening here today, I am so glad that I was more in control today than I was yesterday. Maybe yesterdays bad eating was triggered because I only got a couple hours sleep the night before. I hope that was it. Ususally I am in better control.

Sleep well

209.0-Monday

The day was a total loser day from the early time of 2:45 am
I woke up and went to the bathroom and could not get back to sleep. I laisd there and tossed and turned and finally got up and, took my synthyroied, waited one hour and started eating. I cleanded up a bit washed a load of dishes, watched tv and at 5:30 dh got up and the 6:30 he went to work. And I ate again.

My daughter and G-son spent the night cause she needed to go to the dentist and she needed help with the baby plus she was worried cause she needed to have a molar pulled. Anyway we went uptown and we ate at McD's (greasy and high calorie) and then we went to walmart and another store (still looking for lacy, dainty handkerchiefs) then dentist and she has to go back next week to have the work done. Then we stopped at grocery, and I bought fruit and milk for baby and some candy

What kind? Dove chocolate with caramel inside--I ate almost the entire bag, I was sick feeling by the time I MADE myself stop. I think I was more sick feeling over the fact that I lost control so bad.

NO EXERCISE at all today except for the walking that I did.

The only redeeming thing about the day was that I ate only a few pieces of deli sliced ham for supper and a small bowl of fruit.

Tomorrow is another day and I can not erase today. I have to live with my lack of control. It is so hard for me not to say I hate me, I am so close to hating me. I do hate the way that I handled myself today.

209.6--Saturday

Here is my numbers for today----

11221 pedometer steps
1470 calories for today

exercise for today was
55 minutes arobics
30 minutes walking
10 minute stationary bike

It was a nice day, I went shopping early thismorning and bought another sports bra I came home a nd tried it on and I think I will trade it for another one, I just don't like it. I bought more protein drink and I stopped ant grocery and bought a few things there and then went to Dollar General and bought baby a few things to keep him intertained on Mon. When I take my daughter to the dentist. He usually cries after her and when she is called back to the room and leaves him he is going to cry. Maybe with a bag of new things I can keep him from creating a little scene.

Tonight dh and I went to a religious concert. It was so good and everyone there had an wonderful time. It was a group of 4 women and they sang like they had been togeather for 10 or 20 years. One woman from the audience got saved, what a blessing for her and everyone there.

I am so glad that my synthyroid has got my thyroid leveled off. I am losing weight, I am not losing fast, but at least it is coming off. I am dancing with joy. (and burning off calories as I dance,LOL)

When dh and I got home tonight I had a message on my machine from a former pastor's wife. I called her back and we had a lovely talk. She just wanted to catch up on everyone back here, who got married who left the church, who had babies, you know that type of stuff. It was a nice talk. I am glad she and I remained friends even though she aand her husband has moved so far from here.

When I woke up this morning I had such horrible allergy symptoms-you know headachy and sniffling, and face puffy at the sinus area. It took several hours for things to get normal even with meds. I sure hope tomorrow is better. I felt so bad I did not exercise early, I had to wait until after lunch to get my work out done.

Sleep well
pleasant dreams.

My numbers for today

10572 pedometer steps
1550 calories for today

Exercise for today
60 min. arobics
30 min, walking
10 min. stationary bike

I really had a nice day. Baby did not come today and I did miss him but I got a lot of housework done, sweeping and mopping, and dusting and laundry. So I had a full day and I am tired.

This morning before I started exercising I found a chanel called I think Daystar, It is a religious channel. The channel plays hymns and shows groups singing and also videos of nature like waterfalls and autumn trees and snow falling. It is so peaceful and pretty. So I watched that while i exercised.

We had bad storms come through here earlier, I had to unplug the computer and the electricity went off, lightning and thunder all around my house,
lol Obviously the electricity is back on now.

I did not go to the fellowship meeting at the church and I am relieved about the decision. I can't resist the food so the best thing for me is to not put myself in the situation that I would overeat.

I fixed fish tonight, I poured orange juice in a pan added some soy sauce added the fish and just let it simmer for about 8 minutes. No salt was needed and it tasted a bit like chinese cooking. It was delicious. Just add a salad and you have a very good healthy meal.

That was my day
sleep well

12060 pedometer steps

exercise was
25 minutes of floor exericses and hand weights

I went out today to pay somebills and went to Walmart and I bought a new sports bra. It was one of those that look like it would not hold a b size and I have D's. But it did stretch so I bought one, I came home and put it on and it stretched and stretched till it held all of me and then it seemed to clamp to my chest and when i moved it did not jiggle there. Ahhhh, Unattractive big sports bra makes me happy. I bought a back brush for my shower, and a nylon poof, and some spiderman bubblebath for baby and a plastic ship for him to play with in the tub. And I bought a pair of white dress pants for church. They are so pretty and I have a black shell and lacy overshirt that will look nice with the white pants. I have a pair of black sandles, and a white purse that will go with the outfit.

I stopped by the grocery store to get some more creamer and bought 3 papaya. I love papaya, They are delicious but so expensive and I do not get them very often.

Stephen king has a new book out. I think the name of it is Blaze. It is written under Richard Bachman name. I read the forward and Stephen King said that Richard wrote it before his "death".


That is my
day sleep well

211.3-Tuesday

211.3 OH IT IS COMING DOWN SO SLOW It is so depressing!!!!

1485 calories
10681 pedometer steps

exercise was

25 min, floor exericse and hand weights
40 min. arobics
15 min stationary bike
playing with the baby

I had an ordinary day- no highs and no lows. I played with the baby and I exercised. I tell baby it is time for me to exercise, and he has watched me so much, that he gets up and starts walking in place and raising his arms over his head. Then he starts running around me singing London bridge is falling down.

straightened house a bit, played on computer, studied Sunday School lesson, washed a load of clothes, cleaned kitchen. That's it.

Another bland day.

211.4-Monday

13384 pedometer steps
1775 calories for Monday

exercise was

75 minutes of arobics
10 minutes of stationary bike
and playing with grandson

I had baby all day and he was a handful. We are trying to get him less clinggy to his sippy cup. He just drinks so much that he is not eating enough to get all the nutrients that he needs. So we are withholding the cup for after meals and once in between meals. Now we do let him drink he can have water or someof my unswetened tea. But he can't have so much juice.

No other news to talk about.

I enjoy it when daughter and grandson spend the night. she really is a funny person I laugh a lot when she is here. And grandson just makes my heart smile even when he is in one of his moods.

I do not like water and I know I should drink more of it but it is just so bland. And I can not afford to buy flavored water. what to do ---what to do. I do drink a lot of unsweetened tea, black tea and green tea. I hope that does the same thing as water.

I ate too much yesterday I am going to try really hard to eat less today. One thing is daughter brings a lot of snacks when she comes over. And once I start snacking then it is so hard for me to stop. Best if I never even start. But sometimes it seems that my split personality person named Pigmie takes control and from there it is a high calorie intake. I want to put Pigmie in a box and throw away the key.

God bless you all.

211.6-Sunday

Good morning
I missed posting here on Sun. because when baby was here overnight and he was in the bed in the computer room. I had to get out so he could go to sleep.

here is my numbers

13384 pedometer steps1495 calories
exercise was
50 minutes arobics
25 minutes floor exercises and hand weights
40 minutes walk


I went to church yesterday, the preacher sermon was on the attributes of God, it was a 2 part sermon so last night finished up his sermon.
My mom is getting weaker and weaker, I know her health is getting bad and I know that at 84 she does not have much longer to live. I am preparing myself for that time. I know it won't be much longer.
Baby is in family room watching the Wiggles on one tv and watching a dvd about the "baby einstiens singing babies" on the other tv. (I have two tv in my family room -one tv I have hooked up to a dvd player and I use it to follow mt exercise video and the other tv is hooked up to cable and I use that one to keep myself from being so very bored when I do my exercise. After you do a video a few time you do not need to listen to what is being said to be able to follow it.)
I know that sitting him in front of the tv is not a great thing to do but at least he is learning to double task. lol No- he is not very sociable when he first wakes up all he wants is some juice, his blankie and the tv and leave him alone for a little while.

His favorite game is "Igonegityou,ama"and what that means is I'm gonna get youuuu grandma. He chases me for a little while and then he plays count and he leans against the bed and counts un too tee or i is even a ine te Igit ooooo I have to hide while he counts. There is not many places a 200 pound woman can hide. Then it is my turn to find him. He does not hide he stands there and I have to pretend I don't see him while he giggles at me. Lots of exercise and loads of fun for me and him.


Wasn't that interesting!! Only in the mind of this grandma.
I promise not to talk about grandson too much.

I just broke one of my rules --I am eating my strawberries as I type this. Old habits die hard and sometime never die.But I have had one 8 ounce cup of water. yeah me- I really do not like water-I love unsweetened tea with lemon Can I PLEASE count that as water?And since strawberries is not a fork or spoon meal can i justify sitting here eating them as I type?


Talk to you all later,

211.8-Saturday

1550 calories for today
17848 pedometer steps for today

Exercise for today
50 min. arobics
90 min pushing mower
40 min. walk
25 min. ironing

I know you probably don't think ironing should be listed as exercise, but really it is hard word cause you have to apply pressure the entire time you are moving the iron. I ironed church clothes and then I ironed our jeans , even the baby's little jean shorts . I know I do not have to but really baby just looks so precious wearing the shorts with a crease in the front of his shorts. I iron dh's and my jeans also.

I mowed this morning in the front and sides of my house and out by the road. I think it looks so tacky to go by peoples houses and their yards looks so well manicured and out by the road the grass is a foot high. I wish people would keep their dogs in their own yards. I found 3 piles of their smelly calling cards in my yard. I have nothing against dogs I do not own one because I do not want to clean up after them. I don't want to clean up after other peoples dogs either.
Actually I like cats a lot better than dogs, but my 18 yr. old cat died about 3 yrs. ago and I just can not bring myself to get another one.

I'll tell you a little secret about myself- Elle already knows-I enjoy playing video games, I have my own playstation 2 that my kids gave me for Mothers day a few yr. ago. I am probably the oldest woman in the US that plays video games, I do not know if I am ashamed to enjoy them so much or proud of the fact that I am a kid at heart. I also have a gameboy advance.

I'll tell you another secret sometimes when I don't have anything to do I like to go blog surfing. Just jump from blog to blog and sometimes I have run into stuff that if unbelievably unbelievable. lol

I ate good today probably more calories than I should have eaten but nothing that was not healthy except maybe the cheese and crackers. But not a lot of them and the cheese was good for me.

I have not seen grandbaby since wed. and I am missing him. Daughter is on vacation and they are on their way to their home right now, but she will be keeping him in the morning. Tomorrow evening she is coming over to spend the night because she has to be at work on Mon. at 6 am. It is easiest for her to just spend the night and not have to get baby out so early.

Someone gave me about 1/4 bushel of okra. I am so happy to be getting some okra. I am going to put them in the freezer in a little while.

I think that is everything that happened to me today.

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Saturday

12543 pedometer steps
1450 calories for today

Exercise was
25 minutes floor exercises and hand weights
65 minutes of pushing a lawnmower
30 minutes Leslie Sansonne WATP video
12 minutes stationary bike+4 miles

My shame-I wanted peanut butter and chocolate so I mixed some p-nut butter with some milk chocolate baking chips and ate it. Not a lot, but I sure did not see that coming and it was like someone else had control. I added the calories to my daily count.

I tried to get in a little extra exercise simply to delete some of the boo boo calories.

I mowed grass today, hard going for some reason. I usually have no problem with it but today I kept getting dizzy and my legs would start shaking. I think that eating so much fruit and vegetables is good for me BUT i am not getting near enough protein. I already know that I get dizzy when I don't get enough protein. So WHY do I do that to me? I promise myself that tomorrow I will drink 3 protein drinks, spread out through the day and I can still have fruits and veggies and not have to worry about the protein.

Drinking yummy sweet and low tea with lemon juice in it. That is so delicious.

I am going to watch AO artificial intelligence tonight. I have seen it before I think that little boy is so talented and so cute. So I will be watching for those reasons and because it is a good movie.

Thats it

Good night

211.4-Thursday

1485 calories for today
11995 pedometer steps

45 minutes of arobics
10 minutes stationary bike

I have been so sick and i woke up this morning starting to feel better, a little. I did not exericse early like I ususally do. I started cleaning. I had the baby here everyday since sunday morning and I had him here over night for two nights so I had not felt like cleaning and the baby just kept on messing up. I did what I could but the messy house was gaining on my efforts.

BUT dh had brough me some fresh field peas and so I started shelling them and then I blanched them and put them in bags, 10 bags of peas to put in my freezer. Then I prepared some squash to put up. That was 6 bags of squash . By the time I finished doing that I felt pretty good so I put on a video and and exercised for 45 minutes and then jumped on my stationary bike and rode fairly fast, I did 3 miles in 10 minutes, Not great, but I was pleased.

I have been on a vegetable and fruit platter kick. I love fresh fruit. Apples and bananas, and peaches, and strawberries, (is strawberries a fruit?)Cantaloupe is yummy. I love this new peach that has come to our grocery store called a saucer peach.

And then I love to fix a vegetable platter with cucumbers and carrots and cherry tomatoes, and celery, and cauliflower, and then a little blue cheese dressing.

The fruit and vegetable platter is just about all that I have been eating for a couple of days . Except I eat 2 slices of whole wheat bread a day , and I drink a protein drink every day.

It sounds so healthy but the calories add up especially on the fruit.

God bless you all

Whine, Whine, Whine, Whine and just a little bit of cheese

It is 9:10 am and I am watching Lifetime Movie Network and the show that I am watching is Kate's Secret. I saw this a long time ago and it was good I mean it has Merdith Baxter in it and everyone knows she is a wonderful actress.

The show is about a woman with bulimia and I do not have bulimia however I do have my own food issues, I love to eat I love the texture of food I love the way feels in my mouth I love the feeling of satisfaction that having a full tummy gives me. I know that this feeling is tied to my childhood ,I have memories of sexual abuse, and then being given food when I cried. So I have my own issues and my own demons that I have to exorcise. But this whine is not about that. THis whine is about the fact that I do not feel that I belong. ANYWHERE

I have my church family and I love them becasue they are my Christian brothers and sisters. But none of them cares at all about being overweight and trust me a lot of them are overweight. I have a weight loss board that I go to but the majority of them talk like they are x sailors, and I am not comfortable hearing that kind of talk, although they are respectful of me and would never say anything to hurt my feelings, except for the cursing and really x rated bedroom type talking. I belong to another board but they seem to not have any considerations or feelings of respect one to another and I dont feel I belong there either.

I would love to find a support forum for older women. We have different ways of thinking, especially if we are Christian. Being thoughtful and considerate is something that I hold high in importance. We have no periods, but we do have menopause symptoms. We no longer deal with children of our own but most of us take care of grandchildren either as a service we freely give to our children as an act of love for them, and the special time we spend with the grandchildren, (I am grateful for the time I spend with grandson and I do not charge ) or as a way of making just a bit of money.

Most of us don't worry quite as much about money, and we are beginning to suffer age related problems, losing eyesight and hearing, arthritus, etc.

Our problems are different and our ways of looking at things are different. Let me think about this some. I may start a board for over 50. I wonder if anyone would be interested in joining. I have started 2 other boards and people have joined but they don't post anything. So I get impatient and delete the board. Maybe this time it will be different.

MORE WHINE
Also today I am still sick. I am weak from the allergies that have decided to just linger on and on and on. Daughter and her Husband have both had a very grueling week at their jobs and I have had the baby a lot this week. As much as I love him and enjoy him this week I have not had the energy to spend with him and he is a good baby but still he needs attention and I have not felt like doing anything except read to him and cuddle and watch barney with him.

My husband picked some fresh field peas and I need to get them shelled and put in the freezer. I will do it, it will just take me a longer time to do it. I might wait till tomorrow because if nothing comes up my son in law will have tomorrow off and I will not have the baby. I will have all day to work on the peas.

OK how many of you read all of this? lol Mostly I wrote it just to get it out of me.

212.4-Monday

been sick today but still tried to keep calories down
1670 calories
5503 steps

not real good but at least I tried

Disconected thoughts from the mind of a sick woman

Just a bunch of unconnected, and totally I feel sorry for myself , I don't feel good thoughts and jumbled grumble -grumble.

Did anyone besides me understand what I just said?

To start with, I do not feel good. I have allergies off and on often, but sometimes they get really bad. Not often enough for me to go to the dr. and get meds to take everyday. But often enough that I am sick for maybe 8 to 15 days a yr.

Two of the things that I amallergic to is mold and mildew. It rained several days last week and the mildew and mold is in the canal by our house and as the water evaporates and the sun hits the spores they rise in the air and then I start getting sick. Running the air conditioner helps because the air gets filtered and taking Zyrtec helps but nothing makes me feel normal.

I started getting sick yesterday evening at church. I have my pills with me all the time so I took a pill at church but I still am not good. My face is swollen and I can barely breathe through my nose. yuck drips coughs sneezes. yuck and yuck.

But the worst part is I am so weak and tired feeling because not only am I sick but I did not sleep good. I could not breathe in certain positions and----------- and ----------and ------------and--------oh well you get the picture just miserable and now I have depressed all of you all.

And how does one 23 month old-28 pound baby have a bm that smells that bad? I put it in 4 plastic grocery bags and still fell it might not be enough protection.

Ok that is enough complaining for now.

I really thought that I had over done the calories because we bought some peanut butter m and m's and they are for the baby but I mucnched on about 1/4 cup and I added all the calories togeather and I was so happy to see I was still under 1500.

Exercise for today was
1 hour of arobics
25 minutes of hand weights and floor exercises
10 minutes stationary bike

I am hoping for nice numbers on my scale in the morning but if the scale is going to be mean with me I will just have to either throw it in the yard or work harder at resisting the delicious but oh so bad for me sweets.

God bless you and

I am very pleased with myself today. We had brought a plate home with us from last night and I ate a small amount of stuff but mostly I let dh eat it.
I had fruit and vegetable platter, and a small salad and a diet meal and 2 protein drinks and an egg white sandwich. I snacked on cauliflower and cherry tomatoes . And my new fruit of choice is papaya and a new to my grocery story peach called "saucer peach". It is a flattish type peach and the taste is a little milder than a regular peach. It is delicious. I was only able to splurge on 4 of them cause they cost 2.39 a pound. That is a little rich for our poor wallet.

Sweet dreams everyone

Baby came today and he was so good and easygoing. He did not want to eat much but that is ok. I do not believe in forcing children to eat, I try to get him to just put it in his moth and the let him decide. Forcing chldren to eat just leads to obesity in the future and it makes a miserable child.

Went to church tonight and he is still talking about the gifts of the spirit/ It was a very interesting serman.

Thats it

I changed the linens on my bed today and the quest bed and I swept kitchen (did not mop, bad me), played with baby and went grocery shopping. Actually what I did was just get out with baby.

He was so cute in the grocery store. Our grocery gives free cookies to little children and grandson has gotten spoiled. When we pull into the parking lot he starts saying coo-ie and the ladies sthat work at the deli knows him and they are the ones that got him spoiled. They gave him 2 cookies this morning and we went on round shopping and everyone he passed he would hold out his 2 cookies and try to tell them that he got 2 cookies. Maybe you just had to be there to understand how comical this was. Or maybe it is just the grandmama side of me that thinks that everything he does is just toooooo cute. lol

I bought baby some M and M's and wouldn't you know that those little packages of calories jumped right into my mouth. But I decided not to beat myself up about them and what I did was just add the calories to my total and cut back on lunch. That was probably not the wisest way to handle it but I did not see any other way to keep my calories to a good level.

Gosh I never realize just how boring my days are until I start putting down what I have done all day long.

Sleep well
God bless you

210.0 ---Monday

1290 calories for today
12448 pedometer steps

exercise was-
25 minutes of floor exercises and hand weights
30 minutes arobics
10 minutes stationary bike
90 minutes walking and talking while on my portable phone


Remember me telling you about going to another church. I really wanted to change and get away from my family. Well I called a dear friend and she does not want me to go so I told her a bit of what I go through with my sister and my mom and she adfised me to call the preacher.

I did and he said some things that I already had heard God tell me in my spirit. Preacher said that God had planted me there and that He had something that I needed to do for Him. I already knew God wanted me to stay there it was just that I hurt from the way I was being treated and I wanted to run away just to get away from it all. BUT it seems that I am going to have to tough it out and just hold onto God and let Him take care of the problem.

OH yeah my mom called me and apoligised to me about how she talked to me the last time we talked. So, God is moving in her heart.

I hate being hurt like this and I hate crying, but then I think of all the followers of Jesus in the old testiment. Nearly all of them were persecuted and spit on and beaten and just treated bad. But they kept on loving God and I will to and if He wants me to stay at that church then that is where I will stay.

Nothing else happend today,
The Closer comes on tv tonight and at first I thought that was a terrible show but you know it kinda grew on me. Noow I like it.

sleep well everyone

exercise- 50 minutes of arobics


Now that just looks lazy comparing it to what I usually do each day. It was not bad on the calories but my steps is less than 10000. I try hard to get it up that high, but I suppose that going under once in a while wont hurt.

I have had a full day, here you go a glimpse into my Sunday-
Got up a 6 am and
exercised for 50 minutes, then showered and quickly checked on the computer incase something really earth shattering had occured while I slept, (nope-nothing exciting happened)Then baby came and I fixed him breakfast (baby's daddy never fixes baby breakfast before he comes to me) Then I dressed myself and baby for church got his sippy cups with juice, made sure diaper bag had extra clothes and diapers, and we went to church.

At 12 we came home had lunch and at 2 pm we all went to a 2 hour gospel concert, very good, and at 4:30 we came back home and had a quick bite rested a few minutes and then back to church for evening services.

And that was my day. I really did not have much time to exercise. but then a different way to look at it is I also did not have much time to overeat.

Not anything good comes on tv tonight.

My sister just called me wanting to know why I did not go to our home church, I told her I just went to hear a different preacher. You have to know her to understand she really did not care where dh and I were. She spent 95 percent of the time talking about her grandchild. I know that grandparents are supposed to be proud of their grandclhildren I'm proud of mine but really. for example.-----nope not gonna do that to myself. I will only get upset. grrrrrrr

Sometimes I wish I could change my phone number. But I can't because it is also my dh's business phone.

Sleep well
Sweet dreams
God bless you

210.8-Saturday

210.8 this mornings weight

17828 pedometer steps for today
1450 calories for today

exercise-
25 minutes of floor exercise and hand weights
75 minutes of pushing mower
70 minutes ironing
30 min. arobics
10 minutes stationary bike

I have stayed so busy today-the mowing and grocery shopping and laundry and sweeping kitchen and then mopping. My last load of clothes is in the dryer.
Now I am relaxing on the computer watching Cold Case on tv and IMing Elle, and for a short while I was talking to my dd.
I am triple tasking. Elle's computer intelligence is rubbing off on me. I like having smart friends. ok so it really is not computer intelligence it is just being a woman. We have to know how to do more than one thing at a time, cause we have to feed baby sweep floors, cook supper and fold clothes all at the same time.

I am going to a different church in the morning. I am so tired of my mom and my sister talking to me so negatively about me and everyone else in the church. I just do not need to hear all of that, it makes me think harsh about them for saying such things. I am going to have to drop our of being Golden Harvestors President. That makes me sad but I really feel that I need to go somewhere else.

Sleep well everyone
God bless you

211.2-Friday

15218 pedometer steps for today
1475 calories for today

exercise=====50 min. arobics
40 minutes pushing my mower
30 minutes walk equeled 2 miles
10 minutes stationary bike equeled 3 miles

My weight is slowly coming down. I know that I am working hard at it, and I take the synthyroid every day. And I pray to the Father above to give me strength to resist the foods that I crave, (chocolate, and chips, and nuts, in other words, lots of empty, high calorie junk foods)The Lord is good to me and he gives me the strength to resist.

I noticed today that I have some weird food issues. I fixed a really ice lunch for myself, all food that I love and filling, and delicious. Steamed broccoli, grilled squash, a diet meal, a cucumber, a sliced tomatoe. And I was eating and ralized what I was thinking as I set there enjoying the food that I was putting in my mouth. Get this friends, I was thinking of the food that I was going to eat at my next meal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I was shoveling food into my mouth BUT thinking about the food I would eat in a few hours. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO ANYONE OUT THERE??????????

I worked today on the plastic canvas pattern that I want to finish by Aug. 2nd for grandbabys birthday. It is a wall hanging with abc on it and very colorful. It will help him with his A_B_C's and his colors and his counting. He is already in the high precentile for his age group. He knows almost all of his abc's and his colors and he can count. I know that he probably does not comprehend what it means but at least he is getting the basic knowledge and that means that it will be easier for him to put it all togeather.

Ghost whisperer comes on tonight and that is such a fun show. Not much else comes on.

If you are enjoying my diet struggles, if you can relate, if you have advice, then please leave me a message, OR you can just say hello.

Love you all
God bless you
Sleep well

exercise was 70 minutes arobics,10 minutes statunary bike, equeled 3 miles
and playing with grandson, and a little shopping this morning.

This was a nice day, I exercised and I played with baby, and i watched many shows of MONK and then I turned it to another channel and I watched IS IT REAL. Both shows were very interesting.

I will not have to watch baby tomorrow so it is another day that I will just hang around here and exercise and clean and cook and wash clothes and sweep floors---ho hum another lazy day for me.

We went to Camp Branch Church of God of Prophcy tonight. Our church was not going to have services at all. I am getting so ready to go to another church. I am tired of the comments that my mom and my sister make to me and about me. I am so ready to find another church to go to.

Sleep well everyone

213.4-Tuesday

11204 pedometer steps
1845 calories for today

This was one of thosse days when I could not get enought to eat. I ate fairly healthy as in fresh peaches and apples and papayas and about 12 chees and crackers. But healthy or not still calories add up. And bulk adds to my scale weight in the morning.

Good part is I did 25 minutes of weights and floor exericses, and 50 minutes of arobics. So I did get the exericses in but still I hate when I eat late in the evening cause it just seems to sit there in my stomach and then adds a pound or two next days weight. We shall see.

I did not have baby today and it was a nice day a day that I just played on puter and on my gameboy and did a little housework.

Sleep well everyone
pleasant dreams and God bless you

212.2-Monday

18851 peodmeter steps
?????? calories for today. I estimate at least 2000 calories

exercise =====
50 minutes of arobics
50 ninutes of pushing mower
60 minutes of walking with dh.

I am going to divorce my dh. He knows i have a hard time saying no to chinese food. So what does he do? He says lets go get some chinese food. and I with giddy mouthwatering enthusiasm said "why yes darling that sounds just like a wonderful idea." I tried to eat moderately but I still feel I over did it. I did fill my day up with lots of exercise. The leslie video this morning and then I pushed my mower for 50 minutes and then after we got back from eating I talked him into going for a walk with me. It was at least 3 miles but I told him to check it out tomorrow and see exactly how far it is. We ate at noon and I have not eaten anything at all since then. I am so hoping that i have not put too much "calories in" me that I can not "calories out" easily.

I went to see my mom today and it was not a good visit she is getting weaker and weaker and she knows her end is coming and maybe she is wanting it and is a little frightened too. dI think I would have those emotions if it were me. God hold her close and help her over into the next world. Amen

Dh took the day off today and let me tell you it was a nice day we laughed and talked and just enjoyed each others company.

Baby is not coming tomorrow. I think I will spend the day pampering me (after I exercise) and playing final fantasy 6 on the gameboy. What a wonderful remake.

God bless us all this night and keep us safely in your hands.

Sleep well-pleasant dreams

213.0 Sunday-July 1 '07

1468 calories for today
14227 steps on pedometer

exercise for today- 45 minutes of a leslie video
45 minutes walking at the park
? minutes chasing grandson and letting him chase me as we played hide and seek and "catch me if you can"

I did not write last night cause there was a horrible thunder storm and so I cut off and unplugged my computer.

Yesterday dh and I had an argument and we did not make up last night and it spilled over into this morning. I still got up early and did a video and then I tried to talk to him and he stubboronly refused to talk to me so I got in my car and walked at the park for a while. Then I came home and told him that I was leaving him that i could not put up with his moods any longer. He then wanted to tlk and he promised that he would change. We will see. Anyway I am going to give him another chance. I love him and I know that God will give me the strength to keep going and he is not abusive it is just I can't stand to be around him when he is in one of his moods. He gets even quieter and withdraws and I told him it was like he was sucking the joy right out of me. leaving me with just a empty place full of misery. He promised to change.

Church was good tonight -we did not go this morning cause neither of us was in the mood to be around other people. We did have baby today and he was just too cute and too adorable, as always.

My mom is really bad off sick she is getting weaker and weaker. so everyone pray that God will ease her out of this world as painlessly as possible. She has suffered for a very long time and while I will miss her, I know that she will be in a better place.

God bless you all
sleep well
talk to you all tomorrow
