"I swear I'll never be hungry again"

I love Gone with the wind, and it has been several years since I watched it. Sooooo today I popped it into my little tv beside my computer.  I put a leslie walk away the pounds video  in my computer and I watched Scarlett and Rhett and Ashley and Mammy and Prissy . When she stands there in the garden at Tara and she says "I swear I'll never be hungry again, no and none of my kin." That is heart wrenching.  I have watched it probably 10 times all togeather and I cry everytime.  It is the same way with the Titanic.  I cry every time when that mother is telling her children bedtime stories as she waits on death to take her babies.  and as the old man and woman lie togeather in the bed knowing that not even death can separate them..  I am such a softie.   and I loved the movie  "The Love Dare" with kirk Cameron. 

I read something about serotonin and vitamin B6 this morning.   Itwas interesting.  If you crave carbs a lot you might be deficit in b6  Look it up -----and something about serotonin + weight loss.  That was interesting too.

I hoed this morning for an hour in my garden.  I got my exercise in.    Every time I sould slide the hoe just under the dirt to get the weeds. I noticed that my upper tummy would tighten up,  then I noticed that my legs would tighten a little.  And of course my arms were flexing and relaxing.  I got a good workout,  Remember Tom Sawyer, and painting the fence.   Well that really was a good workout,  and I enjoy it a lot but if you want to Iwill let you pay me 5 dollars and I will let you enjoy hoeing too:)

My eating was not realy bad today, I kept it below 1800.  I would be so much happier to tell you  it was close to 1300 but I have to be honest.   I don't eat beef I know that is one of those foods that I enjoy.  I prepared caramalized onions and hamburgers and I had okra and brussel sprouts.  Don't that sound yummy.
You know I could lose weight easier if I did not like food so much!!!!  lol

Here is a few interesting things that I found on the computer-I don't know if they are true or not  just a few things that I read

You can burn 1 calorie every 30 steps (roughly depends on how small or big you are)
A 200 pound woman can aburn approximately 120 carlories walking 1 mile

a 200 pound woman walking at 2.5 MPH will burn around 300 calories every 65 minutes.



Psalm 73-------
23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.


24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

Sleep well
God bless

  1. Hey Joy! I had brussels sprouts today, too. Sautéed them till crispy. I'd forgotten how much I love them! Is beef something you're afraid to overdo?

    My sister is a Gone With the Wind fanatic! I've never watched it all the way through, which I know is crime in the South. But my favorite quote (from what I've seen of it) is when Scarlett's dad says:
    "Land is the only thing in the world worth working for, worth fighting for, worth dying for, because it's the only thing that lasts.”

    I like that quote, however untrue I think it is. ;)

    Have a great night! Love ya, and God bless
