211.8-ladies meeting, speech

I am back from the meeting tonight. I was so proud of my control while I was eating. I fixed a plate of a bit of this and a bit of that and then a saucer of 3 small pieces of dessert. i picked at the meal tasting a spoon of each thing and then the dessert, I ate the fruit out of the fruit pie and I ate a small portion of the other pie and the brownie was burnt on the bottom and it did not eat but two small bites of it.

I know that calorie wise I still went over but it could have been so much worse. I give myself 4 stars for showing control. (Is it proper to give your own self stars?)

This morning I did 40 minutes of arobics and then after g-son went home I walked for 25 minutes. I played with baby and that is a pretty good workout, I lifted him and chased him and he chased me and we walked outside and he told me the colors of each of my plants, some of them were brown, I refused to tell him they were dead.

Pedometer steps -11727
calories- probably 2000

Now the speech-I was so nervous. Swarms and swarms of butterflys just flying all over my tummy. But I had prayed and I don't think anyone knew that I was so nervous. I have given speeches in church before, you would think it would get easier but it hasn''t so far.

They had a check for 25 dollars wrote for me for giving the speech. I refused it. I can not take money for telling what God did for me.
Ok that was my evening.

Thank You Lord for being so good to me this night. THank you for giving me the words to say and thank you for the receptive hearts that listened. God bless each person.
Amen
