I got these in my e mail the other day. It seems like it might work.
1. Drink orange juice with added calcium. If you start the day with orange juice, don't miss the chance to get calcium, too. This superstar mineral fends off PMS, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis. And the latest? It might even help you lose weight! Most calcium-fortified orange and grapefruit juices have as much calcium as milk — or more!
2. Take a multi. One little pill, such big benefits! People who take a daily multivitamin/mineral supplement have dramatic reductions in the risk of colon cancer and heart disease, studies show. Another benefit: The folic acid in your multi is almost two times more absorbable than the form of this vitamin found in food.
3. Have "seven-gram" cereal. That means cereal with at least 7 grams of fiber per serving, because eating cereal is your easiest chance to get lots of fiber in a small package. Not only is fiber a cancer fighter, but it actually cancels out some of the calories you eat! For example, if you eat 30 grams of fiber a day — slightly more than double what most of us get — your body will absorb 120 fewer calories a day. That adds up to a 13-pound loss in a year!
4. Toss some blueberries on that cereal. Blueberries are youth berries. Even frozen blueberries are so packed with antioxidants that just a 1/2 cup can double the antioxidant power of most people's diets — something that experts suspect will slow down your aging clock. Blueberries actually reversed memory loss in one animal study!
5. Make your coffee with milk. If you make instant coffee with hot water, all you're getting is a wake-up call. Use milk, and you've got cafe au lait — along with insurance against osteoporosis from the calcium and vitamin D in the milk.
6. Drink a glass of water when you brush your teeth. You've got the water and the glass right there. So drink! Only one-third of all Americans get the recommended eight glasses daily. Think a little shortfall doesn't matter? Signs of mild dehydration include fatigue upon awakening, fatigue at midday, lack of concentration, and headaches.
Healthy eating tips: 8 a.m. – On the Job
With these healthy eating tips, snacks at work can make you healthier:
7. Take an apple to work. Put one on your desk in the morning, and an apple becomes see-food — the handiest snack to grab when the munchies hit. If it's not there, you'll be hunting for sticky buns or whatever else is around. In addition to apples being a low-cal snack, a recent study revealed that the lungs of apple-a-day eaters may have better protection against air pollution.
8. Stash nuts in your desk. Probably because nuts are rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, magnesium, and phytochemicals, folks who snack on a small handful of them four or five times a week tend to live longer, several studies suggest. Just don't overdo it: One ounce of peanuts (approximately 1/8 cup) contains about 170 calories and 14 grams of fat.
Healthy eating tips: 11:30 a.m. – Grocery shopping
You dash out for groceries over your lunch hour. Here's how to be a healthy shopper even when you're on autopilot:
9. Buy better bread. If you eat white bread, you're eating vitamin-fortified starch. Whole-wheat bread has fiber, important nutrients such as selenium and copper, and a treasury of other healthy ingredients. Maybe that's why whole-grain eaters seem to have less diabetes, breast cancer, and heart disease. Just don't be fooled by a dark color: Unless the first ingredient includes the word "whole," it isn't whole-wheat bread.
10. Choose canola salad dressing. Are you a salad eater? Terrific! Now look for a dressing made with canola oil, rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). One study found that nurses who got more than 1 gram of ALA per day had half the number of fatal heart attacks.
11. Be picky about decaf tea. Regular tea delivers a rich stew of healing antioxidants — but some decaf teas don't. If the decaf method isn't listed on the package, assume they used ethyl acetate, which dramatically lowers antioxidant levels. Look for tea that says it's been decaffeinated with water and carbon dioxide (sometimes called "natural" or "effervescence") — which preserves antioxidants.
12. Pick up whole-wheat pasta. Do you need more help getting to your 30 or so grams of daily fiber? Try doing this: Substitute 1 cup of whole-wheat pasta (6.3 grams of fiber) for the same amount of regular (2.4 grams). This one easy switch pushes you 4 grams closer to your total daily fiber goal.
13. Find ice cream that builds bones. You know you want some. So find a brand with 15 percent of the Daily Value (DV) for calcium in a 1/2-cup serving. That means when you eat a cup of ice cream, you'll get 30 percent of the DV for calcium — as much as a glass of milk. Same tip applies to frozen yogurt.
Healthy Eating Tips: 12:30 PM: Takeout Pizza
Buying pizza to eat lunch at your desk? Give it this instant healthy makeover:
14. Order Pizza the "Double-Half" Way. When you order, ask for double tomato sauce and half cheese. Double sauce? Many studies link higher consumption of cooked tomato products with reduced risk of prostate and other cancers. Half cheese? You'll cut down on artery-clogging saturated fat. Trust us, after just one "double-half" pizza, you'll never go back!
Healthy eating tips: 4 p.m. – Party time
Your division boss is retiring, and there's a goodbye reception. These tricks build automatic nutrition into calorie-laden buffet tables:
15. Sidle up to the shrimp. These denizens of the deep are ultralow in fat and calories, but they taste so rich that you can really satisfy yourself — without gaining weight! (Twelve large nonbreaded shrimp contain just 65 calories and less than 1 grams of fat!)
Healthy eating tips: 8 p.m. – In a restaurant
The choices! The sauces! Here's how to automatically make your restaurant meal healthier than ever:
16. Order dessert first. Ask your waiter if they have berries for dessert, then order them as an appetizer. Low-cal raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries are rich in fiber, antioxidants, and ellagic acid, a compound that's being studied as a colon cancer fighter. Since restaurants get the very best berries, don't pass up this heavenly superfood!
17. Order half your entrée as take-out. One restaurant portion could feed an entire fraternity house — who needs all those calories? So when you order an entree, ask them to automatically put half of it directly into a take-home box. That way, it'll never show up on your plate! Staying slim helps lower your risk of cancer, diabetes, stroke, and many other illnesses. And you'll have a ready-made meal for tomorrow!
18. Reach for the sparkling water. Few things are more chic — or better for your health! So whatever else you drink at the party, make sure you also sip on a glass of club soda or seltzer. Staying well hydrated helps fight urinary-tract infections by keeping your urine diluted.
19. Dip your carrots. Are you snacking only on carrot sticks? Make sure you eat them with some fat — a dab of dip or a cube of cheese. Without any fat, you absorb very little of carrot's cancer-fighting carotenoids.
20. Say, "salmon!" Don't miss this boat! Salmon is one of the richest — and possibly most delicious — sources of omega-3 fats. By boosting your intake of omega-3s, you may help ward off depression, severe menstrual cramps, macular degeneration (a cause of blindness), fatal heart attacks, and possibly even breast cancer. (A 3-ounce serving of cooked salmon has 1.9 grams of omega-3s; in comparison, 3 ounces of cooked chicken breast has a mere 0.05 grams.)
21. Side with the veggies. It's easy to leave a restaurant without touching any vegetables except french fries — unless you routinely order a side dish of broccoli, spinach, or whatever they've got that sounds good. The antioxidants in veggies — including vitamins E and C — prevent the free radical damage that promotes cancer, cataracts, and memory loss. Antioxidants can also bolster immunity, fending off things such as the flu. Not a veggie lover? Make them taste better by adding a little pat of butter — but remember that a little goes a long way.
22. Finish with tea. Don't miss this chance for a tidal wave of antioxidants — tea has more than most veggies. People who drink 4 cups of green tea a day seem to get less cancer, perhaps due to a powerful antioxidant called EGCG. Black tea contains quercetin, a compound that helps prevent blood clots — the immediate triggers of most heart attacks.
Healthy eating tips: 11:00 p.m. – Bedtime
Congratulations! The day is over … at last. Now finish up your healthy eating day with a few more Big Easies:
23. Have a cup of hot cocoa. Love chocolate, but still want to be healthy? Good news! Cocoa (chocolate with much of the fat removed) actually has even more antioxidant power than tea!
The flavonoids in cocoa can keep blood platelets from clotting, which may prevent heart attacks. Plus, the milk in hot cocoa loves your bones! (Note: An average cup of cocoa has less than one-tenth the caffeine of instant coffee. But if you're very caffeine sensitive, bedtime isn't the best time for any caffeine.)
24. Not drinking cocoa? Pop a calcium supplement. Most women get less than one half of the calcium they need for strong bones, so if you're not drinking cocoa, bedtime is a great time to take a calcium supplement. (If your tummy is empty, calcium citrate supplements are absorbed best.)
25. Drink another big glass of water after you brush your teeth. Yup, more water. And another solid reason why: In a study last year, people who drank lots of water had less colon cancer. Down the hatch

It sure is hard to get back into the swing of things
I think it would be easier to do it if I could exercise. My dh was in and out all day the baby needed a lot of attention so my exercise took 2nd place. The baby will be gone next week and then I can get back into planning out my days and actually keeping my plans.
I found out a few years ago that when i exercise early it seems to moderate my appetite. Maybe it is all in my head, maybe it is a cheap psychology trick but if it works I am really willing to exercise each day early. Also on Dr. oz this morning he said that oolong tea and any dried beans and ice water, each of these things are metabolism boosters. So I am willing to do just about any thing to help me.
Someone sent me a pile of things that I can do to encourage my body to handle food like an average persons body would handle it. I have saved this and I will try to remember to c and p sometime tomorrow I would just open a new browser and do it from there but this computer is so old that I may not get that done for a good ten minutes. Some of the things that were listed were different vitamins and that actually makes a bit of sense. If you need a certain vitamin and you don't get it maybe your brain will cause you to want to keep eating until you get that vitamin or mineral or whatever.
I ate too much today and I am so disappointed in myself and some of that was actually because I could not exercise today. So I wanted to eat in disappointment. And I am so ready to get my house back the way it was pre-Christmas. In other words I want my tree down and I am so ready to get the babys tree down =it is not but a foot high but it has a lot of miniature ornaments on it and he put it togeather himself. with little cars and little people and houses and signs and animals. His tree has been up since Thanksgiving day.
He is only 5 yrs. old and the time is coming a few years from now that he is not going to want to come to grandmas house I refuse to let my disappointment interfere with my enjoyment of his time here with me.
I love children and I really want to be a foster parent. I know that when I complete all the requirements that I will not be able to exercise then either. So I really need to figure out some other way to get what I need withpeople in the house.
Time for baby to go to bed and he will not settle down with me here typing in the room where his bed is.
Sleep well everyone
God bless

me - thoughts-hopes-
The SS lesson for today was all about Jehoida. I was prepared to do the lesson just in case teacher did not make it today. Well the snow came and came and came and no one went, Church was canceled. It is ok I do not feel it was a waste of my time, I learned a lot about not allowing ungodly people from being so close to me that they would have influence over my actions and decisions.
I started trying to get back into the swing of healthy eating today. I went over in calories but I stayed on track as for what I ate, I had broccoli, squash, edamame, and lean baked ham,and berries, and some nuts. Too many calories but I did not eat any of the sweets that are in my kitchen. I have fudge, cookies, Buckeyes, homemade banana pudding, sweet potatoe casserole, and green bean casserole. All of those foods are really high in calories and I resisted each of them. Tomorrow I have already told dh that he can take the sweets out to his buddies and we will throw out the rest of those foods. Time to get rid of the foods that fall in the "no-no" catagory. All that sugar can't be good for anyone.
My hope is that I have not done too much damage to my weight loss. I still have not weighed and I probably will not weigh until the first of January. I hope to be able to undo some of the damage before I get on the scales. I know just by the way my clothes fit that I have gained some. It all started when I went to moms for those two weeks. I really was not comfortable being there with my brother. he is such a user and a drunk and I feel sure a drug user and he is so mean. And I could not exercise. Just excuses I know. If I had been determined I could have found a way.
But I can get back into the swing of things I can. Tomorrow I will do my weights and then later I will do arobics. I wll have the baby here and so I can not go walking but I can do something. It is not just my weight, I actually feel better when I when I eat healthy and when I exercise. I wake up now and I feel sluggish and bloated and my joints hurt and my mind seems to not be as quick . My skin is already starting to look haggard.
I will do this for me. I can and I will.
Sleep well everyone

I got a feeling based on how I am eating
that I am going to be regretting how I have suddenly started eating way to much.
Have you seen the cute little cartoon called "UP" That is a precious little cartoon. I loved it,
I got all my shopping done.
Today is my anniversary. Been married 35 yrs. Dh and I were going to go out for a nice supper BUT do you hear a but in this????????? I had my grandson and dd said she only had to work a few hours hat was this morning at nine am so I expected her back here to pick up grandson at least by 3 and she did not show up until around 6:30;/ Now that isnot to late, but she never once called and let me know when she was going to get here so I jut kept working, doing .laundry, straightening, putting things awy, wrapping presents. etc....
Dh said we would go out tomorrow and he gave me enough money to buy a new outfit. I love to shop I have found this really wonderful place that has beautiful clothes in my size and they do not cost an arm and a leg. So next weekend I will go and get me a new outfit.
tomorrow I have to finish wrapping. I would almost hire someone to do this for me. BUT here we go throwing in another but. i know that you can hire someone to do that but they charge a lot, and I can thrw a lot of the things that I have into Christmas bags. Fact is I think that is just what I will do.
I doubt I will get back here tomorrow so I want to wish everyone that reads this a wonderful Christmas,
Please remember that it is Christs birthday. and we should all give thanks because He reallly was the first gift (remember John 3:16) and He was the most wonderful gift I have ever had.
Sleep well,
and May God Bless and Keep you safe

just another day, not one of my better dieting days
But I count this as one of my better days in enjoyment. It all started last night.
One of my dearest friends is a pastor and I went to her church last night to see the childrenthere have there Christmas program. Dh and I had been laughing with each other for several hours ad I was in a very good mood. Now you have to know the situration dh and I are in. HE is a professional painter and for the past two years there has been very little work. But God has provided over and over again. Everytime it seems that we are at the end of our rope something happens. Yesterday (Sunday) we did not have Christmas presents bought and it was only six more days till Christmas but we were not worried.
Anyway we went to our friends church and she called us to the side and pressed something in my hand ==it was a one hundred an fifty dollars gift card to wal mart. I cried through the entire program. God is really so good to us.
So today dd and I went shopping. I bought groceries and I bought a little something for each of my children their spouses and their children and then I bought dh something for Christmas and since our anniversary is in two days I bought him a small inexpensive gift for our anniversary. And I have about frty dollars still left on the gift card. And here is where God just shows how much He loves His children ....... I come home from shopping and dh is on the phone and soemone wants him to paint for them, not a big job but then the phone rings and it is somone else and they want him to paint. Now usually people usually want to get an estimate so they can get the cheapest painter. They just asked him when can he start. He has as of about five oclock four jobs lined up. God is good and He does take care of His children.
I ate bad today BUT I am not complaining. God has blessed, I enjoyed my dd and grandson and my dh today. I even enjoyed seeing my son in law and usually his smart mouth irritates me but today well I dont think anything could have irritated me.
Sleep well everyone
And
God bless.

yesterday and today
yesterday was a fun day for me but it was a terrible eating day. I fixed a pork roast in my crock pot and it was so delious. t would be so easy to lose weight if food tasted bad . I really could lose weight if ereything tased like collards. I keep thinking way back into cave man day some neanderthal walking down the road he sees something green -he points to it and grunts to his cavewoman, In cave man grunt language it would mean something like this, 'my darling cave woman please pick this green stuff and you can cook it and I will call it collards. " Now being the dutiful wife she does just what her cave hubby says but in her mind she is thinking who wants to eat grass where the bear goes to peepee at." I do not like collards. When I was a little girl my parents had to have collards at least once a week and sometime two times I let them know I hated it but they mad me eat it. It was put before me at every meal until I ate it.
Baby was here and we played pirates, he don't get what pirates are supposed to be and his pirate name was one eyed robot jack. He gave me my pirate name= it was grandma. lol
We went to my sisters church last night for a Christmas party, her pastor called and asked us to come. I had good time and did not eat too much although what I did eat was a little higher in calories than I should have had. But Christmas will soon be over and I will get back into the swing of things. I will enjoy being with family and friends and everyone knows that Christmas get togeathers are full of food.
Today baby was here part of the day, but I had to work on the plastic canvas ornament I planned to give the ladies in my SS class. It is just a simple little ornament triangle with a candle in the middle but I had to make 8 and it took me from 8 this morning to 7:30 this evening. Of course part of the time I was on the phone and playing with baby and then dd came so I visited with her. After I finished the ornaments I finished my SS lesson and if anything happens to Pati I will be ready to teach.
That is it
Sleep well
God bless

189.4, computer, baby, phone, exercise, ate too much
Well it went down a little, I would like to get up in the morning and be 20 pounds lighter. Not going to happen, and not going to set myself up for dissapointment.
My computer has been very tempermental today. What I usually do in just a few minutes took be hours today. It would keep freezing and the page would just drop and Iwould have to start all over again ----so annoying. But I am grateful to have a computer. I went about 6 months without one and then a friend of a friend cleans house for a real estate company and he found a computer that had been left behind so he gave it to me.
The baby has been here all day and he has been such a joy. It is true that he is a hands on child, you can't expect a 5 yr. old to be able to take care of himself, I have to cook kid meals and gave im a bath and washed his hair. but still he is a a seet child an I love his imagination. Today we went in a closet and he turned it into a space ship and we went to mars and met some purple headed martians named purplerupadoes. Then we had a picnic with them and we had nuts and chps and coco cola. I tried to tell him we needed vegetables but he quickly said not while we were on mars.
I lost count of how many times the phone rang today. I didnt stay on the phone a long time but it just rung a lot.
I did some floor exercise today some stretches and flexability exercises. Then I did a 5 mile Leslie Sansonne video. I love doing her workouts. It is not high intensity and the steps are not hard to follow. I have several of her workouts and I love everyone of them. Her banter does get a little boring after the 4th time of hearing her, but I just mute her and keep on going.
My calories were not as impressive as I would have liked for today, but not to terrible bad, 1780 but then I ate a little bit of nuts so estimate the final to be maybe 1900 or there about.
It is time for baby to go to bed and the computer is in the bedroom so
Sleep well everyone
God bless.

189.4,,weights,,,walk,,,baby is here
It was really hard for me to write my weight, I had worked so hard to get it down to 184 and in just a few short weeks the weight stared coming back. Obviously I have to try to stay in diet mod all the time. I don't think I have in my entire adult life not been losing or gaining. I have never ever just maintained my weight.
I got up this morning and I did 25 minutes of hand weights I upped the weights to 8 pounds. and that was a challenge. But I persevered and I did it.
Later I got totalled snugged into insulated head covering, scarf, thick pants sweater and thick coat and I went for a nice walk, I walked as fast as I could. I don't think I will be able to go walking again until after Christmas because of the deer hunters back in the woods. Most children are out of school as of today and a lot of the older teens go hunting on their Christmas break. I like to walk but I don't want to be mistaken for a deer.
Wasn't it a shame about that man in Fla. I kept thinking just how desparate do you have to be to think that is your only way out of the situation you are in?
Since today was the last day of school for my grandson and dd and her husband have to work, he came to stay with me tomorrow and Friday. I love it. I have him sitting watching a movie about a duck "The first snow of winter", it is really cute and he can watch a movie he like over and over and over..
pedomter steps for today is12164
calories or today was1475
Dear Lord I thank you for protecting my family today. Thank you for the job that dh has and thank you for your son that came to us as a baby and gave himself for our salvation. Amen.
Nothing is any sweeter that the Christmas story from Luke.
Sleep well everyone
God bless

My tuesday update
I posted this morning, but this is an update
I have gained 6 pounds in a little over 3 weeks. That is so disheartening. But I think I hve gotten it under control I hope I have gotten myself under control.
Today I went for a really long walk, my pedometer steps is 12112 that is 6 miles. Now I did not walk that much when I went out walking that is also all the steps that I did while I straightened up and talked on the phone. I talked o my mom and my sister and I talked to my dd about 4 times. I am really glad that I have a good relationship with my dd, at one time I was doubtful that we would ever be able to talk to each other civilly. Those teenager years were torture for her and of course I was the one she took it out on. But we survived. She married in her early 20's and her husband was a crackhead. He sold allmost all that they had before she called me and asked to come home with him. I said yes with stipulations and he stayed maybe a month and could not hold out any longer and he wanted crack worse than he wanted dd. Husband and I paid for her divorce and she remarried two years later and now has a beautiful son . WOW where did all tha come from ?????
Any way my calories for today was1685 that is a little bit more than I intended but I am still proud of what I did today comparing it to how I have been eating. And while it was a bit of a struggle to control my appetitie, it was not that bad,.foods that I ate today was
2 coffee
4 ounces of porkchop
1 cup baked potatoes (no butter)
mixed veggies
5 ounces of carrots
1/2 cup berries
1/2 cup 2% milk
snack -- 3/4 cup homemade apple sauce
supper was coffee
4 ounces of turkey breast
1 cup baked potatoes
steamed broccoli
snack -3/4 cup figs and 1/2 cup homemade canned pears
It is cold here and I am so thankful that we have shelter. It is supposed to be record lows here. There are 5000 homeless people in our nearest city. Lord take care of them and keep them warm and safe. Even in one place some businesses have come togeather and bought tents for the homeless so that they will stop sleeping in the dumpsters, Butit is so cold that I fear they will freeze, and what about the children. So very sad.
Stay safe and warm everyone
God bless

A new day, a positive outlook,
Just a quick post to encourage me. I have done really good so far today.
I had an early lunch of vegetables and 4 ounces of baked porkchop. I ate one cup of baked potatoe and 5 ounces of carrots. That was a nutritionally healthy and satisfying lunch. I have had 3 cups of decaf coffee, and while that is not good for me, it also is not really bad either. I don't use sugar although I do use internationl creamer. I had 1/2 cup blueberries for dessert and I had 1/2 cup of 2 percent milk.
I have also gone for a very long walk thismorning and it was cold. Chill factor was 17 degrees. I was dressed warmly I wore hubbys insulated head covering and I had a scarf wrapped around my neck and pulled it up to cover the lower part of my face. I had insulated pants on, a thick shirt, thick heavy sweater and a thick wind breaker. I did not get cold at all. I probably looked ike a fat short snowman with clothes on.
I will update later.

emotions and up and down and woe
I usually am very up, I can see the bright side to so many things and seldom do I get depressed. I love the Christmas season even when we do not have a lot of money. Dh is in construction so the winter months has always been slow. I taught my kids that Christmas was not about what you get but what you give and it had nothing to do with material things. So right now I am starting to get depressed. I think it is because I can not seem to get a grip on my diet. Rigt now it feels hopeless, I give myself the pep talks as I reach for another apple. An apple is not that bad, right? but what if you just had a baked pork chop, and some honey carrots, and some garden peas.and some mushrooms? What if you really did not want an apple but you just felt like you were not satisfied. I have not felt like this in prbably 2 yrs. I feel so out of control.
I'm trying to do some self evealuation, I can only come up with the family situaion. I can not fix the family thing so I eat. It does not make sense. If I could just get a few days that I could exercise and eat right I think I wuld get back into the swing of things. I do not want to gain all that weight back.
Oh please Lord help me.
God bless.
(I may come back later and whine some more. After all if I can not whine and complain on my own blog what use is it to have one???? lololol

Sunday---- sunday school, Christmas tree, church again
So I went to SS this morning and even though I was prepared to teach, (the bible does say to be prepared in all seasons) I did not think I wold be teaching today. When I got there Pati asked if I would teach and I said sure, and I did. BUt I do not want anyone to think that I am trying to take the teaching position from her. She is my best friend and I would not do anything to harm her at all. Any way the lesson was a good one and pretty much taught itself. IT was about Jehoshaphat and the 3 armies that were comine on him. Then how the Lord came to his aid and the armies turned against one another. Great lesson
When I got home I put my tree up. It is so pretty. I love angels and over the course of several years I have gotten a huge collection of angel ornaments. This year my tree is 95 percent angels. The other ornaments is My grandsons first Christmas ornament and one that my sistser gave me with my birthstone in it and two crocheted ornaments that I made a few years ago.
Later we went to evenning service at my sisters church and my goodness didn't the Lord move. People were dancing in the spirit and praising the Lord out loud. I love it when the Lord moves in such a wonderful way. It makes me feel that God is giving me just a glimpse, just a tiny little touch of what it is going to be like in Heaven.
It is late and I am very sleepy.
So have a safe and warm night and
may God bless you.

Just to tell about the last 48 hours
I was feeling very low bout 10 am yesterday and actually was thinking that I was not really a Christian when the phone rang and it was a friend from church. She said she woke up early with me on her mind and she felt she had to call and tell me how much the love of God shone on me. She said a few other things but as she was talking I was thinkiong and praising the Lord for only the Lord could have arranged the phone call to come at the very moment I needed to be uplifted. GOD IS SO GOOD TO US ALL What would we do without Him in our lives.Some day I am going to post about how I went from being an athiest to becoming a Christian.
I went last night to see my grandson in his school play. Without any bias at all I have to say he was the cutest one there and he sang the best. lol I bet all the other Grandmas were saying the same thing about their grandchildren.
Tonight dh and I went to our friends church for there mens and womens fellowship Christmas meeting. I had a good time, It took deviled eggs but I intended to take brown sugar smokies and I have made them countless times before but for some reason this time I burned them. I could not salvage them at all not even for us to eat here. They were burned to the point of not being able to bite into them. I quickly boiled soem eggs and made the deviled eggs and they went over big time. I don't know why people seem to like my eggs, they are just plain eggs nothing to them but salt pepper and dukes mayo....... I do put the yolk mixture in a cake decorating bag with the biggest tip and use that to make it look a little fancy. I always say appearance is just as important as taste.
Diet has gone on vacation, I just hope that it returns after the holidays.
Sleep well everyone\
God bless

I did a little better today
not a lot better but I did keep the calories under 2000 and I did drink 50 ounces of water and I did go for a long walk. So that is some progress.
And then again
I did not get my clothes washed and no excuse either, I don't have to go down to the river like my grandma used to do, I do not have to hang them out which is a good thing because they would have frozen today. I did not get the floors swept, I did not finish the plastic canvas ornament that I am making for my niece. It is a grey and black kitty wrapping a present. ANd it is 3 deminsional and it is absolutely adorable. But I did not finish it yet. I will though, I will finish it by Christmas.
I did not get the ironing done either. I did not get my big Christmas tree up yet. I just pretty much had a lazy day. tomorrow will be different.
I went walking and brrrr it was cold. The wind was blowing through the path today and the temperature was about 28 degrees when I went walking. SOOOOO I had a thick pair of socks, and a really thick pair of pants and a shirt and a sweater and a jacket and a thick pair of gloves, I had a nice long scarf wrapped around my throat and my husbands fleece lined head warmer. And with all that the only thing that was cold was my cheeks nose and around my eyes. I felt like I was the huge ghost from ghost busters. I am glad that I did not need to use the bathroom quickly when I got back cause it took me almost as long to undress as it did for me to get dressed with all those clothes.
I do feel that my emotions are not so much on a rollar coaster. I feel like things are beginning to level off in my head.
Tomorrow night i will be going to see my grandson in his schools play. They are not allowed to call it a Christmas play . I think they call it a holiday play I am not sure, but I hate that so many people thinks it is wrong to use the name of Christ, or to say merry Christmas I mean that really is the reason for it all. Without Christ we would not have Christmas we would only have mas. And that just does not sound nearly as lovely as Christmas.
Friday night is the Christmas party at my friends church. Sat is a singing near hear and then Sunday is church. I have the Sunday School lesson almost finished, I will probably finish it tomorrow.
Sleep well
and
God bless.

another bad eating day.
You know thin people probably don't have bad eating days. They probably just go on with there lives when they eat a little more than usual. Why do I have to tell myself that I had a bad eating day? I did eat more than I should have, I called a pastor friend and unburdened myself to her. I told her about the way mom lambasted me about the tree I had told her previously about how mom had treated me when I was a child. When I got through this morning she said. "consider the source of your pain" She pretty well said that mom is what mom is . And yes she is now a Christian and she is old but she is still living with the same personality she always had. She said I could not allow her to steal my joy. AND SHE IS RIGHT. I need to show her respect but hold on to my joy. I need to stop trying to find peace in food. She did not tell me that cause she does not know how much I ate today.. lolol
But she did tell me that she wanted dh and I to go to her church this coming Fri. She wants us to be a part of their Christmas celebrations because I am an unofficial member of her church. She is the preacher of the church and i just thought that was very sweet.
Dh and I are going because we do love the people there. It is just a simple country church but the people there are very loving and that is the kind of church I like to go to.
The church I am goin g to now is a little stand offish and I know that God put dh and me there so that I could help the Sunday School teacher, She loves being a teacher but she is slowly going blind and I am her assistant teacher. She is a dear lady and I know that the time is coming probably in the next 6 to 12 months when she will not be able to teach at all. She is a good teacher and I feel honored that she wanted me to help her. I think when she no longer needs me I am going to my friends church. The people there are just a lot nicer.
I pray that tomorrow I will have a little more control. The bad thing is I could not even exercise today. I had hurt my knee and it is swollen. But also it would have been too cold. This is the south and we just do not have the thick clothes to handle 35 degree weather. I mean when it is just a hint of snow the schools are close down and all the bread and milk flies out of the supermarkets. But I am praying for a better day tomorrow.\\

My eating was out of control today
I simply could not get control of myself. I know what happened it just did not do any good for me to know. I called my mom this morning and our talk was going good and I told her about me and grandson putting up a tiny tree for him and letting him decorate it. I thought it was cute. And she started her harsh talking and made me feel like she was calling me a sinner becasue I put up a tree. All day long thoughts of my abusive childhood kept popping into my head. I could not help it. The bruises and scars that dad put there and how she would call me stupid and ugly. I know that all of that was covered by the blood when she became a Christian and I know I have forgiven her but sometimes those memories keep popping there ugly head up and I just want to eat and eat and eat.
Only God can help me to forget.
Sleep well everyone
God bless

I am back and what a time I have had
almost two weeks of staying at my moms trying to stay in between her and my brother. He tried to get me upset one night he told me I was"holier than thou" just because mom and I were talking about the bible. I told him I was not holier than thou but I was holier than him. I know that was the wrong thing to say but it came out before I even thought it was the wrong thing to say. Anyway one day he told my mom that her bible wasn't anything but a pile of sh__. a couple of days later he was trying to do everything for mom and I told him he needed to let her take care of herself so she could get some usage back in her muscles. As a stroke victim she really needs to do for herself. He had gotten her bible and put it on her stool. He looked at me and said and I quote his words exactly "I do this out of respect and love for God and my mom. My stomach actually turned over. Mom does nothing but defends him. My grandson is 5 and my sister is raising her granddaughter that is also 5 . I keep my grandson away from her. But she put these two children down she talks to sister granddaughter like she was a dog. I have tried to tell mom that they are 5 nothing but children and they will be loud and they will run and they will jusmp because they are children.
Anyway yesterday she told me I needed to forgive. ACK Now she had just spent 10 minutes telling me how much of a brat sisters granddaughter is and I just don't understand.
I know what kind of person my brother is . He has been married 5 times and none of his wives could live with him because he is too controlling. he is manipulative and controlling and mom wants to stay in her house so bad she is putting up with it.
Yesterday I came home and after two weeks of not seeing my grandson except for just seeing him and Thanksgiving, today dd brought him to me and we took him out tonight to see Christmas lights and it was so much fun. ANd now he is spending the night at my house. I am glad he is here.\
I am looking forward to getting back into an exercise routine. I tried to eat right but it was hard to eat at someone elses house and cook those special foods she needs and then turn around and cook my foods. so I just ate quick foods and foods that oh well I can now get back to my old way of eating that seemed to keep me full of energy and I felt better.
I get to go to church in the morning and I am so hungry to go to church. I read dthe bible and I listened to some preaching that I had on cd. But it was not the same. I need to go to church. I know that God would not fault me for not going because I was needed to go to moms but my spirit hungers to be with my church family.
I am even happy to be blogging again. Who would think that I would miss blogging. lol

mama/brother/church
This is going to be guick, I have been at my moms. Brother came in to her house on Friday and he had o be high on something. Since I did observe my ex son in law when he was on crack I saw similarities in actions to my brother. I think he has gotten himself into a pile of trouble and I am afraiid of the friends that brother has started having. He actually brought two of these low class people to my moms house and they were really low characters. the type of people that you would expect ot sell drugs.
He has been seen going into pawn shops and the guy that runs the pawn shop is a retired police officer and he is the brother of a friend of my sisters they told my sister what my brother was trying to pawn and it was some tools it is ust crazy that he would want to sell something that he might not get but 50 cents or a dollar for it. but I know that people that need to get drugs will sell anything to get the money to buy what they need.
He had eleven hundred dollars less than 10 days ago and now he is broke. he has no bills and he does not pay mom anything for his food or electricityand he is always asking mom for money for a couple dollars gas or what ever.
I see trouble coming and I can't seem to stop it. Please everyone be praying for my mom.
Sleep well everyone

My sister and i went to pick my mom up this morn to take her to get a few groceries and refull her meds and this car headed toward us and swerved across sthe road and barely missed us . It hit a rali and then took off again towrd us and sister twister the steering wheel and avoided the car again the car hit the other side of the bridge and once more headed our way. Finally the other car stopped after hitting the bridge head on. I ran to the car because smoke was coming out of the engine. IT was an 80 yr.old woman and she was fine, and so were we. God is good and he kept us safe.
I went to my sisters church tonight and they had testimony Wednesday. I went to testify about how wonderful God is and about how he takes care of us all.
That is it.
God bless

187.0/ watching "Raising Hope".uneventful day
calories for today-1575
exercise was walking and 25 minutes of dumbbells
pedometer steps10789
food for today was leftovers and as good as I enjoyed moo shu pork I am glad we are through with that.
okra
squash
steamed broccoli
butter beans
turnips
figs
apples sauce
coffee
berries
milk
moo shu pork
I ttalked to mom today sis and I planned to take her out tomorrow and treat her to her favorite place. Her favorite place to eat is get this -----------Hardees, I like hardees too but I have to to say it is not my favorite. BUT brother came home and talked her out of going with us he said he could take her where she wanted to go. He is just acting like that so he can say he does everything for mom and we are never there for her. ugggggggggggg and uggggggggggggggggggggg. I hate all this drama I am so tired of all the games that he plays.
We are watching Raising Hope it is such a cute show. And I can't say it does not have profanity in it , but I don't think it does. I have not heard anyone using ugly words.
Tomorrow I will be starting on the Sunday School lesson it is titled "Gifts of the Spirit" It is an incredible lesson. I don't know if I will be teaching or not, but the bible says to be prepared in all seasons so I will be prepared to teach.
If the economy does not improve soon I fear that dh and I will lose everything. Things are getting worse and worse and prices on everything is just going up and up and up. Eggs went up this week 50 cents for one dozen eggs. At this time they are 1.99 a dozen. And gas is going right on up and so is so much other things. YEt my dh can't find work. and neither can I.
I just pray that the Lord will see us through. And I know that He will help us === I don't think He brought us this far for us to fall on our face and lose all that we have. But if we do then I will praise Him for always being in control .
Good night everyone

187.2-naked woman-walk-sister-plastic canvas
Here we go again,,,,,In just a few days I gained 3 pounds and I don't think the worst is here yet. I mean the calories will add pounds in a few days. I hate getting stressed I hate when I eat out of control, I hate when I do this to myself.
I did a little better today until after my sister called later this afternoon. then I grabbed the chips , and thank God they are all gone, I dare my dh to get any more. I will divorce himif he does (just joking). I can see it now :::: me in front of the judge, and judge says "Maam, why do you want a divorce?" and I reply "Because he bought me potato chips" The judge will probably have me arrested for wasting his time. lollololo
I did go for a walk this morning and it was really nice. I saw a beautiful deer in the path-the deer was just standing there not more that 100 feet in front of me. I stood still and we looked at each other for about 30 seconds and then the deer slowly walked into the woods, and I let out the breath that I had been holding.
This morning on facebook I got a message on my wall from someone named Katherine (can't remember last name). She had a picture and she was naked. At first I was stunned and then a little angry. And then I felt such pity for her. How misguided she is. What if her daddy was to see that picture. He would be so ashamed. I quess he would be ashamed. My husband would be ashamed if he saw our daughter do something like that. My ex son in law told me once that women that stripped and prostituded , stuff like that usually had mothers that did similar. I know that it is not 100 percent but I think most of them must have had really horrible childhoods. Can you imaging sending pictures of yourself to total stranges for them to stare at, and since nothing is ever lost on the computer, how would she feel if her children saw these pictures in the years to come.
My sister muct have called me 5 ties today, all she wants to talk about is her granddaughter. Then she wants to talk about our brother and I know that he is a pain but all we do is rehash things and it keeps me stressed and then I over eat. ack and ack and ack.
I have started doing a plastic canvas picture. It is a church and in the background it is snowing and at the bottom of the picture it says SILENT NIGHT. It is so beautiful and if I can stay off of the phone i will have it finished by the first of next week.
My friend is a pastor and she has invited dh and me to her church next Sunday evening to have thanks giving supper with her church she said dh and i were a part of there church and adopted members. Isn't that sweet?

the best laid plans of mice and men-------------------------------------------
well I did not get to church this morning or this evening. Sister called and mama was having such stress over the way brother is treating her. He had threatened her and called her a liar. Now mama is 84 yrs. old and has been a Christian for many years, brother told her she was a sinner and headed for hell. She knows he does not have any where to go, and she is hoping that taking her to church and being around decent people will make him more receptive to the Spirit when It starts calling to brother. It is not happening. Goodness she should have figured it out by now, but that is her son and while I have never had to throw my son out I can only imagine how hard that would be but I think he has gone too far. I think he has gone so far that he would have a difficult time hearing the wooing spirit when it speaks to him.
I have eaten a lot of calories today, mashed potatoes and mooshu pork (home made and no bread) it was delicious. and collards, (don't normally like collards but these were delicious) and green beans and one baked chicken thigh (I should have removed and discarded the skin but I didn't) So far sounds good Right?????????? Here is where I messed up----I got the bag of chips and ate almost 3/4 of the full bag. Not all at one time but still it went into my stomach. Still the calories are going to be in my system headed for all those fat cells that I have worked so hard to shrink. I can see it now all those fat cells having a party and lining up to get there shot of helium calories so they can blow up like balloons.
I hate being stressed, I quit smoking around 8 yrs ago and I have not wanted a cigarette but I have wanted to eat. Stress makes me want to eat, eating makes me gain weight, Have you noticed I don't handle stress very well???? Gaining weight makes me stressed. It is an endless cycle.
Ok done complaing. This was my pity party, From now on when I start feeling stressed I am going to sing
Though satan rages, I will not be defeated, we've got the power in the name of the Lord.
I will remember my grandson
Five yrs. old and had the end of his finger cut off. The dr. said they would have to grind the bone down because the flesh and the skin was not growing over the finger and the bone was exposed. Three weeks ago he still said he might have to grind it down. Friday night I took him to the Golden Harvestors meeting and gave a very short speech about how grateful I am for the healing power of God. He went around and showed everyone his finger. The flesh and skin completely covered the bone and his fingernail was about half grown out. You could barely tell the end of his finger had been cut off. God is good He is our savior and our healer, He is our redeemer, He is our Rock He is the Good Shepard and He is in control always.
I will remember how I was an athiest and He loved me enough to take the blinders off of my eyes so that I could see. He loved me enough to take me from a world where I was lost and headed for hell and put my feet of the solid path that I would walk toward an eternal home with Him.
I will remember how He healed my husband of lupus.
All of this family drama is stressful but I will remind myself that
He is in control always.
On a bright note, My dh said I could start walking again. I don't know if the dog is dead but noone has seen the dog lately so maybe he is dead. I havent heard how the child is , I hope she is alright.
Sleep well
God bless

I messed up
I ate to hot dogs, not the buns just the franks and a small bak of chips. BUt that really did run the calories up to 2060. I walked a lot today, not doing anything but pacing and praying my steps for today was 9276.
Dh and I went to a singing tonight, The singing Couriers was performing locally so we went there. My sister and her husband and little granddaughter. It was a wonderful singing. I can not think of anything I would rather do on a Sat. night than go to a church and worship. I love God and I love being around others that love the Lord. I enjoy going to church more than anything else that I can think of, even when it is not my home church.
Tomorrow is Sunday and I plan to go to church in the morning and then to a singing and then to my church for evening service.
It would be wonderful if my readers would go to church in the morning and then let me know what church you went to and what your sermon was about.
Have a blessed and wonderful night every one.

Sometimes it just is impossible
So many emotions going on today-agry at myself----it is not even 2 oclock yet and I have already eaten 1670 calories for today.; I am so dissapointed in myself, so angry at me, so unnerved by my lack of control ,so disgusted at the amount of food I ate even after I was full. And now I am uncomfortable from too much to eat. AND AND AND I am so worried about my mom. I wish my brother would just leave her alone. He thinks he has us fooled and some people does seem to be totally beliefing every thing he says and it all is said in a way that would make him lood good. He want s everyone to pat him on the back and say what a good son he is. \\\\\\
Maybe he is gone, he met a woman and he packed a suitcase and went to her house. Maybe he will stay over there but I fear when she realizes how manipulative he is that she will make him leave. Then he will be back at moms tormentting her.
My ulcer has already begun acting up I know that the worry is probably makeing it act up.
but goodness did I HAVE to eat like I am about to go hibenate for the winter. lol
I know that worry can make me eat more and if I control myself the rest of the day, I won't do to much damage to my diet. And if I do overeat, I will not let it define who I am
I am an honorable person
I am a loving mother and grandmother
I am steadfast and steady companion, wife to my wonderful husband
I am a child of God, born again and babtised in the holy Spirit
I am a good and honest and ethical woman
My weight -up or down- does not add to or distract from who I am.
I will be back later to let you know if I was able to control the "unruly demanding child" inside my mind that demands food and more food and m -----well you get the idea.
Have a blessed day

184.6/weights, pit bull, video, golden harvestors
OK weight was down a bit this morning and that gives me some hope. Tomorrow I will probably have it up a bit. We had a Golden Harvestors meeting and even though there was not a lot of stuf I could eat, I stil foung two things and I ate so late that I am sure it will show up on the scales in the morning.
I woke up at 2"15 this orning, I woke up praying and was so burdened about mom and I prayed and wept finally got out of bed and started a load of laundry. I then got dressed and aI decided to do some dumbbell exercises. I worked out with 5 pound weights for 25 minutes -later I did a 45 minute leslie sansonne video. It wasa good workout.
I could not walk today becasue last night someone shot a dog that had attacked a child. I was told it was a pit bull and the dog tore up the little girls hand and arm. So the last thing I needed was to have a injured pit bull take after me while I was out twalking. So at least for a little while I will not be waling down through the woods. IT is for y sake although I really am dissappointed about it.
Tonight we had a golden harvestors meeting and there was not a lot of people there BUT I did enjoy everyone that was there, The meeting was very sweet.
calories for today--1620
Pedometer steps9276
exercise was walk away the pounds video
25 minutes of dumbbells workout.
Have a wonderful night
God bless

185.0/SS lesson/walk/family frama/bff&telephone/jaazzercise
Weight still going up and then going down, I wonder just what I can do to break free from the see saw. It is just so frustrating. I am eating healthy and I am exercising so regardless of what the scales say, I am improving myself.
calories was 1450
45 minutes of jassercise
70 minutes of walking
I got up early this morn and began my Sunday School lesson, I get to teach again this week. The teacher needs to go see her son in law . He is a preacher and they are having a pastors appreciation day for him. I don't blame her, I would go too. Anyway this lesson is such a blessing.
I also annointed my house this morning. It seems as if satan is coming against my family. But I know that God's gace is bigger than anything satan can throw at me or mine. I got a phone call from sister and she told me that my brother is acting up again at my moms. Mom told him to leave and he said he was not going anywhere. I think she is scared of him and I wish I could do something to get him out of there but I tried to talk to mom and she just says it is hard to throw out your child when he has no where to go. It is his fault that he has no where to go. He has been married 5 times and every one of his wives have left him. He is a BIG control freak.
I called my bff and just unloaded all of that on her, bless her heart she talked with me until I calmed down some. What would I do if I did not have my good friends to call on when I am so stressed.
Later I put in a jassercise video and I started doing it. I thought this can't be too hard arm swings and hip swings and toe touches and then it started getting fast wow it got to be fasat paced and turnd out to be a really good all over exercise. After 45 minutes the phone rang. I was so grateful to be able to stop. I kept looking at the clock and that video lasts 56 minutes I will try hard the next time to do the entire exercise. I also walked for 70 minutes, I love walking through the woods, it is so peaceful and I reallly needed to find a quiet , serene place to talk to God.
food for today
2 coffee
blueberries
steamed veggies
Black eye peas
chicken
apples
figs
I hope everyone had a wonderful day
sleep well

186.4/weights/walk/clothes/ ironing/church
My weight goes up a pound and down a pound up a pound and down a pound. Getting a little tired of that yep I am. Oh well I am eating healthy and not way over my 1500 limit. Once in a while I eat a few calories too much .
Exercise for today was 25 minutes of five pound weights, That was a good work out. I really thought that just doing 5 pounds would not be that big of a differance but surprizingly enough it is a challenge. Not a huge amount of difference, but enough that I can feel my muscles just starting to tremble when I am doing a set.
I walked for 45 minutes and I enjoyed that too. I love to walk and worship. IT is quiet and peaceful and perfect for praying.
I ironed for about 70 minutes, now I know that ironing is not a traditional type of exercise but I do press down on the iron, sometimes and I do have to stand there and I do keep moving. Maybe it is a low key exercise.
And then i talked on the phone a lot today and youknow how I walk while I am on the phone. So I got in a good bit of steps today=====total steps for today was 9038,
Tonight we went to church. I love going to church, I love being in the prescence of the Lord, I love being where the Lord is being worshipped. God is good to us and I love Him; It was a very good service, we prayed for our lost loved ones.
And that was my day
sleep well
God bless

God loves you
This was sent to me by a relative, I loved it and I hope that you do too.
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If God had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning.
When you want to talk, He’ll listen.
He could live anywhere in the universe and yet He chose your heart.
...And that Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem?
Face it, friend, He’s crazy about you!
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If God had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning.
When you want to talk, He’ll listen.
He could live anywhere in the universe and yet He chose your heart.
...And that Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem?
Face it, friend, He’s crazy about you!

185.8/funeral/hubby/walk/balance ball
calories for today was 1520
steps for todday was 4630
dh and I wen to the funeral at 11 am and when we got back we went for a walk we walked for 40 minutes, and then later I did a 50 minute balance ball video. I thought that would be a fairly easy workout. It was actuall and balace ball with yoga and I was stretched and twisted and pulled until I am sore and stiff.It was a very good workout.
The funeral was hard on dh. The deceased was I think he was 86 and dh had known him for over 50 yrs. The deceased was like a father figure to dh. And when I saw how hard dh was feeling it , then I broke down and started crying for him. I liked Mr B too but dh was just heart broken over it. Then we were asked to to join the family for a meal at the church, we were very touched by it all and of course we accepted. Mr. B was one of the soldiers that stormed Normandy. He loved the US and was loyal to our country and military.
Tomorrow I will get back into the routine of exercising early and tomorrow I will definitely get to my front yard. The leaves are really beginning to bug me. I will have them up or I will have to burn them. I like the idea of pushing my mower with the grass catcher on it because it gives me extra exercise. Did you ever look up how much calories are burned off when you push a mower. I can't remember now but i do remember that it is a lot<
Have a good night everyone
God bless

185.5/exercise/walk/funeral home
This morning I got up and spend 25 minutes working out with 5 pound weights. I know that is not a lot of weight BUT after you have been doing curls and back presses and trying to exercise using all muscles and combinations of of muscles those 5 pounds start feeling like it is 10 pounds. Of course I know we have to challenge our muscles.
Then I walked for 45 minutes,---pedometer steps are7440, I did wear my pedometer while I cleaned house, and talked on the phone. But I love walking through the woods. The air is sweet and the birds sing and occasionally I see deer and squirrels, and rabbits. Often I see turtles and frogs, and once a huge rat. Twice I have seen snakes. I never see people back there. Just me and nature and I love to talk to the Lord while I walk. It is very peaceful.
At 6 pm Dh and I went to the funeral home for the visitation. His friend died Sat. morning, dh is going to be one of the pall bearers. Visitation used to be called "a sitting up" My mom told me that they called it that because long ago the bodies would be taken to the home of the dead person. In the summertime when it got hot they would have to have windows and doors open and someone would have to stay awake all night to keep animals from getting to the body. I don't know if that is true or not but it does make sense.
That was my day.
sleep well

185.8/church, church, and church and funeral home
Today has been a good eating day, I did not have to fight myself not to go see if something had magically appeared in the refrigerator. Why do I do that???? Why do I go look and then close the door like I expect something new to be there and feel dissapointed that it is the same old stuff????????But today was not like that. I can not figure out what the dirfferance is,I just don't understand. If i could figure it out I would be able to do it tomorrow too.
I taught SS this morning and then dh and I left our church and went to a different church so we could hear the Sycamore singers. and that was a wonderful service, and then we went and got something to eat. Later we went to our church. I am supposed to be in our Christmas cantata and go to practice today but to tell you the truth my voice will never get high enough for that program so I am just not going to be a part of that . Besides I actually think that contatas are not pretty. They sound like cats being stangled. I am going to not do it. Then I had to go to the funeral home for my friends friend. I did not know the deceased but my friend did and I went for her sake.
Tomorrow is a ful day-exercise with weights, pushing mower with grass catcher, walking to get my pedometer steps up, watching my sisters granddaughter, washing clothes. just a very full day.
Talk to you all later
God bless

185.4/grandbaby/death
calories for today was 1530
no exercise today, I am really beginning to get antsy about not doing anything. I give myself till Monday and I will do soem handweights, and I will push the mower over my yard and pick up the leaves. If I do not have my 10000 step I will go walking through the woods.
My grandbaby came today to play with me. We played chase and hide and seek and a game he made up that he calls the boo game. I walk around acting like I do not know where he is and he jumps out and says boo. Then I got a phone call from my "bff" and a friend of hers had died during the night. Of course I talked with her and then I got off and g-son wanted to know who died and then He asked was she going to be put in a grave yard or was she going to heaven. I told him that the ladys body would go to the graveyard and her soul would go to heaven and God would give her a brand new body. He asked how that would happen. I said it was like an egg, you crack open the egg and put the egg in the pan and the shell goes in the trash. Our body is like the shell cause we won't need it anymore. I thought he got it cause he said "ok grandma" When he got home he asked his mama if it hurts God to eat the eggshells we throw away? lol I gotta be careful how I explain things to him;
My husbands friend also died this morning. Two people from my church died last week. I am getting tired of people dying. I fear the next one to die will be my mom. She is so frail and so feeble.
My food for today has been coffee
eggs
okra\\
squash
berries
tuna
applesauce
raisens
almost ashamed to admit this but I love smarties and I ate about 10 of them today I don't mean 10 individual smarties but 10 small packages of smarties.
Thats it for today
sleep well everyone

186.4/still sick/singing
No exercise for today still feeling kinda weak but I did get a little walking in less than two miles but it was something. And now I have started coughing again. Just took some nyquil and I hope that helps. Not really coughing down deep just a tickly in my throat and only when I start breathing fast. As long as it is slow even breathing it is ok, but if I breathe faster it tickle my throat and I cough wheich makes the air go across my throat which makes me sough. endless circle.
my calories for today was 1450 and I struggled to keep it that low. My food for today was leftovers from the last two days, and coffee of course
potatoes stew pork chop squash okra berries and steamed veggies, and green beans and corn.
We went to the singing tonigh I am thankful that I did not start coughing while it was going on. The service was a wonderful service and we did nothing but worship the Lord. I was called on to testify and I love telling what the Lord did for me. God was there and He touched many people tonight. We heard the Singing Shepards and The Singing Couriers. Both groups are very talented.
Sleep well everyone

185.4/a little better/birthday/card
I really did not feel up to exercising but I got in a few steps just doing things in the house, cleaning and talking on my portable phone. I love my phone, I spend a lot of time talking to people from church and family and why waste the time by just sitting doing nothing? I walk sometimes I go outside and walk around and around my house but today it rained so I just walked back and forth while I talked on the phone.
My calories went over 1500 today---it got up to 1695----ack when I saw that I stopped grazing. You know when you go in the kitchen to check on the stew and see the grapes and you grab a handful or you taste the pork chops just to see if they taste as good as they did the last time you cooked them. Or open the fridge to get a bit of tea and grab what ever your eye falls on. I wrote everything down and I saw it so high and was almost shocked but then I remembered how often I had grazed. I am so glad I do not have any junk food in the house . I would have really messed up if I had any of that stuff here.
I am a little better today, I did not have to take anything today untill just a few minutes ago. So I should be ok to go to the singing tomorrow night. I may still be a little bit hoarse but other than that I had a good day.
Today is my birthday, and I had several people wish me happy birthday on facebook. My sister and dd both wished me happy birthday. My dh bought me the sweetest card, I was so moved by it and I have it displayed on my counter in the den.This weekend he will take me out for dinner I hope we go to the Golden Corral but they moved their restaurant to the other side of town and it is a long way from where we live.
food for today
coffee
beef stew
squash
okra
applesauce
raisens
pork chop
potatoes
berries
That is it for today
I amgoing to watch tv with dh, Bones comes on tonight and I always enjoy that show.
I googled Alan Autry today. He played Bubba Skinner on In the Heat of the Night. What an interesting life he had. After the show went off the air he became mayor of a town in California. He is a Christian and gives God all praise for what He did. I wish there was some way I could contact him to let him know that I admire people who publicly give God praise for what they have accomplished.
I went to school with a girl called Mary Ann Yarborough. She was my friend in high school, and we reconnected when I was pregnant with my first child. She had red hair and she would be about 56 or 57 years old. I would love to hear from her.
Sleep well everyone

186.6/dream/sick/birthday
I have not been exercising this week, I have been sick. Night before last I woke up with a raging fever. My grandoson had spent thenight and I did not want to wake him, My husband sleeps in another bed when baby spends the night. I could not get out of bed I was so cold and so week. I was jerking I was so cold. I called my dh and time as I called him he said what? I told him I needed him and he covered me with another blanket and got some advil for the fever. It is allergies, I get like this every autumn. It got bad this time. The good thing is it does not last but 5 to 7 days. So soon I will be able to exercise again.
I had a dream last night.----I dreamed that the Lord had called me to preach and Iwas preaching my very first sermon. I stood behind the podium and I said "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" I went on to say all of the rest of the first few verses. Then I said "and God said let there be light" and I looked up at the congregation and I said "and when God gave us that light, it has shone to this time. When there is Gods light there is no room for Satan's darkness" I said more but I can't remember the rest of it.
Now I don't think that God has called me to be a preacher but I do give devotionls and I think that i am supposed to write the devotional about the light that never went out. The Lord has given me several devotionals and they will occur at themost unusual times. He gave me one on the way home from church and it had nothing to do with the service. One time I was riding with my dd and had to get some paper from her to write what God had given me. I am so thankful that He uses me, and lets me be a vessel for his use.
Tomorrow is my birthday and I will be 59 years old. I don't feel 59 most of the time right now I feel every bit of it. It is just a number -most of the time I feel better than I did in my 30's. I get up in the morning and my feet hit the floor and I am moving, seldom do I even stop until later in the day. Cleaning , mowing grass, mopping, washing and hanging up clothes,walking and ironing raking, just doing what I can around the house since I do not work out side of the house I try to do as much as I can to take some of it of off my dh. I am thankful that I have my health.
I AM NOT A NUMBER
Not my age and not my weight. I am a Kings daughter, I have His blood flowing through my veins. He wants me to be the best I can be but He loves just as I am. I praise Him for loving me all of my life, I denyed His exisstance so many years and when He opened my eyes I saw Him for the loving Father that He is. Glory to Him, I can not thank Him enough for showing me how much He did love me. He healed me of a breathing disorder the first week that I was a Christian, and He healed my husband of a skin disease. I love Him. He saved me on Valentines day, The day of love, and what ultimate love did He show us. John 3:16 says it all.
foods for today
coffee
berries
steamed veggies
chicken

186.6/sick/no exercise/ate too much
I have seasonal allergies and most of the time I am mildly sick from them, just a little pressure and a little sore throat from the drainage, etc. About once or twice a year I get bad sick. My throat HURTS I run afever and have no energy and today was one of those times. Face swollen and dripping and sneezing and all I felt like doing was eat. ANd I ate and ate and ate. I tried to keep it in the allowed foods and I kept it in that allowed foods. I really do not want to eat something that will cause me to have hives again. That was awful and painful and irritating and I will continue to NOT ever eat those foods that cause it. But I ate too much of homemade applesauce and blueberries and even too much broccoli.
I have to get control of this before it gets to be a habit or a part of my everyday life . I really do think that sometimes overeating gets to be a habit. You get used to having food in your hand and mouth and stomach. I think you get addicted to having a full stomach all the time. Anyway I have noticed that if I start eating more I start wanting to eat more. If i can control that then the drive to be eating deminishes.
Tomorrow I will have grandson here, He came this afternoon and because he had today off from school due to a teachers work day and then tomrrow he has off because of voting. He is too young to vote but I guess his teachers needed the day off so they could go vote. He went to the dr. today about his finger. Now I have to give God the praise for this miracle. When I first saw his finger after it had been caught in the door. It looked like the end of his finger was gone. The dr. said the bone was just clipped and it was exposed. The next time he saw the dr. the dr said it was looking good and at that time the dr. sssaid some of the nail bed was still there and he would grow a nail . It would not look like the other nails but it would be there. Today I saw the finger again and you can barely see anything wrong with it. The nail is growing and it looks normal. God is so good to us all and I am so glad that He answers our prayers. He cares so much for each of us, He even cares for that little finger on the left hand of this sweet child. He hears the prayers of this grandma, And I do love my Heavenly Father.
Have a good night
God bless

184.4/fall festival/grandson/
no exercise today and no way to really keep up with what I ate.
I ate within my allowable foods but portion amounts was eyeballed and I just could not keep it all in my head. Rough estimate. 1300 to 1500 calories for today.
I did walk slowly for about 4 hours at the festival and I walked for 10 minutes ver fast trying to keep up with the train that was carrying my grandson. child sized train, pulled by a tractor. I am such an over protective grandmom and I was afraid he would fall out the side of the boxcar. I know that sounds silly. lol
That was all of my day, tomorrow I go to church. I love going to church and David said he was glad when they said let us go to the house of the Lord. Thats me. The Lord gave me a wonderful gift when He gave to me salvation. He brought me from a dark and lonely place to a place of light and joy and full of glory.
Good night everyone
God bless

185.0/weights/stretching/walk/
calories for today-1445
pedometer steps 11967
walking -90 minutes
floor exercises and stretching-25 minutes
dumbells excercises 3 pound weights-25 minutes
It will be Monday when I get to exercise again-tomorrow I will be helping my daughter at her church. They are having a fall festival and her husband has to work so she will need me to help with her son at the festival. I would love spending time with him and and my dd. but mostly I need to help her watch him because they are expecting over a thousand people there. It is a big church, also it is open to anyone that wants to come not just the church members.
I love doing stretching, I am glad that I remembered that I needed to incorporate them in my routine. I probably got out of the habit of stretching when I had my operation and of course it took so long for me to be released by the dr. to even do slow walks. Then it took about 3 more months for me to be able to do the dumbbells. Nothing else been going on here.
sleep well

My weight is still higher than it was before I ate the chinese food. I am so sorry I went out with dh. Next time I will say no. no NO. I hope I say no
pedometer steps was10849
calories for today was 1320
exercise was
25 minutes hand weights
30 minutes walking
65 minutes leslie sansonne 5 mile advanced walk at home dvd
I am really trying to lose that chinese weight, I really think it is the sodium in it.
Today I received notification that I had won a 50 dollar amazon gift card for a survey that I took. That is a first -----I don
t think I have ever won a prize. I love taking furveys and I take several a day, usually just for points and I use them to get Christmas gifts for my children and grandchildren. I am still excited about winning the money.
We had another death in our church. I am going to have to make more deviled eggs and more brownies for the visitation. He wianted to be buried on Sunday and that probably means that our church will be closed for Sunday night. That is alright I want to go to another church and hear The Sycamore Singers. They are wonderful singers.
My precious daughter bought me some creamers for my coffee. I love them I love kicking back with a delicious cup of flavored creamers. Since I don't eat a lot of things now(mainly flour items like cakes cookies and candy)because of my allergies,)it is hard for me to find treat foods. I know coffee is not a food but it is a wonderful treat with all of the flavors they have out there for the coffee.
I watched Scared Shrekless tonight. I am almost ashamed that I sat here and watched it and did not even have a child here. But it was a cute little story. I really like Shrek and I like Ice Age. I quess I am still a kid at heart. A really really BIG kid, lololololololo
Sleep well everyone

186,2/weights/deviled eggs/brownies/ walk/deer
calories for today 1420
pedometer steps 11426
My weight is still up because of the chinese food I ate on Sunday. This happens every time I eat chinese. I sure hope I can say NO the next time hubby says lets go get chinese Some foods I find it very hard to resist, and chinese food is one of them. My weakness.
I woke this morning and decided that I am going to start using my hand weights again. I exercised with my 3 pound weights for 25 minutes then I went for a walk down the fire trail. I love to walk through there but today will be my last time for a while. The hunters shot a deer and left the deer on the side of the ditch about 10 feet from the trail that I walk. It was beginning to smell bad and I know by tomorrow it will really be smelling even worse. I do not have anything against hunters. Deer meat is healthier than beef and it is free. But I do have a problem with hunters just shooting the animal and taking his antlers and leaving the animal there. I think that is the reason that he was shot because the top of his head was cut open.
We had a funeral today for someone that was related to a church member. Our church provided a meal for the family of the deceased. I fixed deviled eggs and brownies. I can eat deviled eggs so I made a a few extra for my dh and me. I can not eat the brownies. I got a little of the batter on my finger and I almost stuck my finger in my mouth BUT instead I rinsed it off. I was very proud of myself. I know that had I stuck even that little bit in my mouth then I would have eaten more and more. Yeah ME
Have a good night everyopne
God bless

All right cover your ears while I scream
I go out for chinese knowing that it will put weight on me I don't mean just a few pounds...... This happens every time, I eat moderately even putting vegetables on the plate and trying to go light on the meat and of course I can not have anything with sauce on it or fried stuff. But even though I tried to keep it moderate I still gained 5 pounds. IT is destressing to me .
It usually takes me several days to get my system back to normal. Scream and scream again.
Went to a revival tonight, and that was a good message but the evangelist was way too long winded. He preached for 70 minutes.
A relative of one of my churchs members died yesterday. Dh and I went to the visitation and that poor woman was just heart broken. Mothers should not have to bury their children. The mother was 87 and the son was in his 60's. I kissed her and hugged her and told her I was praying for her and her family. It was just too sad.
sleep well everyone
God bless

184.4/sister/mama/church/chinese food/revival
My weight is going down a little at the time. However after today it will probably go up a few pounds. I ate chinese food and that always adds a few pounds to me. I think it is the sodium in the food. Now I know that I love chinese food and I always eat more than I should . But I eat it early in the day right after church and then I do not eat anything else the reest of the day so really I should not gain but a couple of pounds, But usually I gain 5 plus pounds and I think it is the sodium and it makes me hold on to water and I get so thirsty and that is what put the scales numbers up a lot. But I am trying today not to drink so much water. Maybe it wil only be a pound or two. I know why it is there and I know that in a few days the weight will go back to normal. But it is distressing to me to see a higher number when I have worked so hard to get the number down.
Tomorrow I will do some extra exercise I will walk two times and I want to push my grasscatcher around my yard. I hate to rake plus it makes my sciatic nerve act up and my leg goes numb. I can push my mower around my yard for hours and all it does to me is make me sweat a lot but if I rake I can only do it about 15 minutes and then my leg gets so uncomfortable that I can't keep it up.
We had a visiting preacher this morning and while he had a good message, There is a time for each of us.
It was taken from the verse "a time to live and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to harvest" etc. IT really was a good message with the jist of it being that we have all been given a time and we need to make sure that we spend it in love to our Lord and family and friends. He had a good message and then he spent half of his time talking about where he had been where he had preached and about his family. I know I should not complain, but really I did not know him and I was not that interested in other churches that he had preached at. I mean he was not trying to get to a point he was just saying it.
Sister called me first thing this morning and she had talked to mama and mama had just about blessed her out because sister asked mama if everything was alright. The situation is getting worse and worse. I think with mamas mind going so fast, she really needs to be in a nursing home.; Christian brother is coming soon and he will assess the situation. I still think unsaved brother is trying to take everything he can from mama and when he has taken it all then he will leave.
Tonight we wenet to hear a 17 yr.old evangelist. He was saved when he was just 6 years old. Satan tried to kill him when he was in the womb, and again when he was starting kindergarten. But God had His hand on this young boy and he did not succeed. We had a wonderful service tonight and I hope Iget to go tomorrow night.
It will depend on how tired dh is and if he gets off from work early enough.
Thats it for tonight
Sleep well and God bless each of you

clothing giveaway/baby/laundry/eating/diet/exercise
I did not keep up with calories today, so much going on and I started feeling so tired and just wrung out.
I did get in a bit of walking and my pedometer steps was5494. I think that was pretty good for the little bit of time that I actually spent on my feet.
This morning dh and I went to a local church for a clothing giveaway and swap. I took a huge bag of clothes to donate, some from my grandson, and some from dh and some from me. I also had some things that were given to me. Some of those were way toooooo big and some were not my type of clothes and some were toooooo little. When I took the clothes in I looked around and I picked up for myself about 8 pullover tops and several dress tops several pairs of pants and a few silky chinese looking robes. I also got about 6 towels that were in very good condition and a set of sheets and a few shirts for my grandson.
Dh and I gave so much things because we know that there are people in that city that are living in tents and in cars. The econonmy is terrible and people are hungry and need clothes and shoes . We never expected to leave with so much stuff. I have lost so much weight that my clothes were beginning to just hang on me. We gould not afford for me to replace my clothes so I was still wearing them. NOW God has blessed us and next month we can take in some of the things that are too big for me.
Dh also got some work shirts, You see when you give God gives back to you. God sees our needs and He provides. We are so blessed by His love and grace and His forgiveness.
On the way back home we stopped at our dds house and picked up the baby and brought him back to our house. I sure do enjoy him being here. My mom did not want anything to do with her grandchildren, I never could understand it. I understand it even less now that I have my own grandchildren---they are the smile on my face. Even though I still feel a little weak from the bladder infection, I played a good deal with grandson. But I only got on the floor with him one time. It was a pain trying to get up and I made sure I did not do that again.
I did not have much of an appetite today. I ate a fairly healthy lunch , and then I did not want anything to eat for my dinner. I only ate a little blueberries for a midafternoon snack. Usually I can eat no matter how bad I feel. But for soem reason today my appetite was gone completely.
Thats it
Sleep well everyone
God bless

185.4/dream/walk/iron/bladder infection/couriers
pedometer steps for today was 9344
calories was more than i should have had
WHY why why do I want to eat when I feel bad. I am the proud owner of a bladder infection. I caught it early and I am sure I can handle it with cranberry juice. I just feel kind of run down and my lower tummy aches. I know that is what it is cause I have had this before. Actually I had never had it before I had a hysterecomy. I wonder if there is a connection. Anyway i have wanted to eat all day long. I really did eat more than I should have but the good part is I ate apple sauce, (homemade of course) and grapes and broccoli. I made wise choices, I just felt so out of control.
I woke this morning and it was like a gun went off beside my bed. And instantly I felt like something bad was coming. I really think it is coming I think my brother is going to steal everything mom has saved up. I think he will take it and run. He is totally unethical. I started praying time as I realized something had woke me. I asked God to take care of mom and to give us all peace over the situation. He has mom so confused and he manipulates her into anything he wants.
I went walking today. I saw squirrels and birds and butterflys. It was a perfect day to go walking through the woods.
When I got back I finished my laundry and hung them up to dry. I love hanging my clothes up. They smell good and it save a little electricity. Plus it gives me some extra exercise.. I said in yesterdays blog that every movement adds up.
Then I ironed, it took me about an hour to get all the ironing down. I am not fond of ironing but again it is extra movement. And even though most of our clothes don't specifically need to be ironed I just feel our church clothes need to look as good as possible.
In two weeks my favorite Christian group is going to be in the area. The singing Couriers out of Bennetsville.
They are like family to me. What make them so special is that they live what they sing about. They love the Lord and singing is their ministry. I am looking forward to their singing.
That is it for today.
Sleep well
God bless

185.4/baby/bacon chicken/skin so soft/food
ok my weight just goes up down up down only a few ounces but still, I want it to go in the down way every day.
I did not exercise because baby was here again but the good news is I did get in 6264 steps today. Son in law came last night and took baby home/ He and dd were both hoping that baby would feel better and they could send him to kindergarten today. BUT no such luck, he still ran a feverand so he came back to me this morning. I had a lot of laundry to do and I worked in the house and I took care of the baby so the steps mounted.
Iworked at curves for about 6 months once. I learned a lot of things but one of the main things I learned was you burn more calories when your muscles is well trained. When you exercise you build muscle and then when you move even cleaning house you burn even more calories than you would if you were not building your muscle. I did not say that very good, but basically every movement counts, so I try to move a lot.
I tried a new recipe today and it was delicious, it is bacon chicken
Here is the recipe
Bacon Chicken
6 slices of bacon
1 Tablespoon butter
1 Tablespoon olive oil
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 onion chopped
1 Tablespoon garlic powder or flakes
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp pepper (or to taste)
1 and 1/2 cups shredded chedder cheese
1 Cook bacon in 12 inch shillet until crisp
2 crumble bacon and set aside
3 Pour bacon grease out of pan and discard, do not wipe or wash pan
4 Add butter and Olive oil to pan
5 Saute Chicken breasts in the mixture over medium heat turning once, until chicken breasts are done maybe eight to ten minutes
6 Place chicken in baking pan
7 Cook onion and garlic in drippings that are in the skillet cook until onion is softened. Stir in salt pepper and crumbled bacon
8 Spoon mixture over chicken breasts and sprinkle with cheese
9. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
This is yummy and I know that it is a little higher in calories but it is doable if I do not over doable (lol).
When son in law came and got the baby (he is much better now and I finally got him to eat 1 strip of bacon I wiped all the grease off of it, and a little grits and cheese. Not much but at least it was something) I took a skin so soft bath, what luxury to be in that huge garden tub with that sweet scent coming around me. Now my skin feels so soft and I love the scent. I love being able to do something special for me and taking a long luxurious bath always makes me feel like a queen. When I finish here I have to go back to being Cinderella before she met her prince charming, and clean my kitchen. But I did love my few minutes.
My food for today, not in any particular order
veggie omelet
collards
black eyed peas
broccoli
carrots
celery
chicken
blueberries
homemade applesauce
My calories were close to 1500. My exercise had to be put on a shelf this week because of the baby being here. That is all right.,,, grandma's are supposed to be there for there grandchildren. Tomorrow I will get back into it. I will walk probably around 9 am and then again around noon. I love it when I get to do an extra walk. Dh is tearing out a kitchen for someone this week and he is so exhausted each day that I have not nagged him about exercising with me. He is probably getting plenty of exercise.
Sleep well everyone
God bless
