It's Fathers Day

When dh got up I wished him a happy fathers day.  It is 8:30 and I soon need to get dressed because I am going to my Fathers House this morning.  My earthlyfather was not a good person, evil and full of selfishness and cruelty , he came first in all that he did.  he did not let anyone know this but his family knew.  I read one time and I think it was Billy Graham said (I may be wrong about who said it) and I am paraphrasing--The world knows me and speaks well of me but if I die and my own family does not speak well of me then I have failed as a Christian and as a husband, father, etc.

I am so happy that I now have a Father that loves me, that I have a Father that wants the best for me, that listens to me when I talk to Him, that holds me when I hurt and is always there for me-

So to the best and only Father I could ever have or need,  HAPPY FATHERS DAY and God thank you for putting dh and me togeather all those years ago.  He has been a really good husband to me and a terrific father to our 2 children and a wonderful grandfather to our 3 grandchildren.

A friend just said
"it is easier to become a father than it is to be one."   How true

Have a great day everyone
God bless

Sigh

This is hard-

I decided to take a different path for a while and see if I can win a little in this struggle.  I am on Day one of a full induction. I am keeping my carbs down to 10 or less for a few days and then slowly add a couple more per day.  We'll see.   I still am walking every day (unless it rains) most days i get in 5 miles, still working out with weights, still helping out at Harvest Hope/food bank two to 3 days a week and still pushing a mower to cut my grass several hours a week.
Still taking the synthyroid and still gained a pound this week.  I know that everyone says they do not eat that much but I write down everything I eat and it is always below 1800 and most days it is below 1500.   Today it was less than 1300, and carbs were 10. 

We'll see.  I've danced to this tune before and I pray that the results are different this time.  

Sleep well every one. 
God Bless

So far so good

I intended to post yesterday but didn't happen got busy and just forgot.

I have eaten healthy-fresh vegetables, talapia, broccoli, brussel sprouts,  chiken breasts, almonds (although I think I may have to stop with those all togeather.  I know they are healthy but really who can stop at 10-13????) 

My highest calorie  day was a little over 1600 and everyday I did something in the line of exercise.  I walk and push my mower and I go to harvest hope and push and pull and lift and bend. 

Since last Fri.  I have lost almost 2 pounds.  I am so hoping that the higher dosage of the synthyroid will kick in soon and then I will not have to struggle as hard to maintain or lose a pound a week.

Still am having trouble with son in law .  He is the most backward or ignorant or just does not care person I have ever been around.  The man just walks around my house like he owns it, I have closed doors and even locked them and he may be deterred that time but next time he just wanders around.  I am going ot speak to him again today.  He opens my fridge and gets out what he wants,. He looks in my pantry and takes things.  Yesterday he took my energy bars.  I have to search to find bars that does not have flour and the man took them.   

I have had the talk with g-son about people touching him in certain areas.  The other day sol took baby a ball game and let him play iwth other children.  One older boy touched him on his chest and tried to pull his shirt up and it upset g son and he started crying and went to son in law and told him.  Son in law told him to stop crying like girl and go play.  I was furious when grandson told me about it.  I had told grandson that if someone touches him he can go to any of us and we would help him and then that man handles it like that.  Granted the other child probably did not mean any harm but still it is the principle of the thing.


Sometimes I just want to throw my hands in the air and simply scream until I feel better, but I think I may be sreaming a long long time

God bless each of you.

Magic Monday

I woke early with the renewed intense pleasureable urgency that this day is a fresh day and a brand new beginning to a very much repeated dance.

I had to go to Harvest Hope today and I wore my pedometer just to see how many steps I take there and at the distribution center. surprised me----6255 steps.  Now I did not get my usual 10000 plus steps but I did get a lot of lifting and pushing and pulling and bending.  So I go plenty of exercise.  

It is hard for me to eat healthy when I am moving constantly but I ate a few low calorie energy bars, and then when I got home at 3 pm I had a small amount of BBQ  chicken and some green beans and some black eyed peas.  and I had about 1/2 cup cashews and now I am noshing on rice cakes.

So overall I am pleased with todays food choices, and the activity that I did.


ONWARD AND UPWARD (thanks Deb)
Sleep well everyone
God bless
