Is It My Imagination...

...that my pants seem loose? I could understand if this was day two of wearing them but I put them on right out of the dryer. Maybe the elastic fibers are getting weak. Seriously, could all this counting points be working?

I weigh in on Friday. I also meet my friends for sushi. I will try to be good. Tempura is my weakness.

My tummy is turning. I'm sure it has something to do with all the vegetables and fruits I'm eating. I need to find something to absorb the percolating...like a loaf of bread maybe.

I hope I sleep well tonight. I wake up at 2:00 am and then at 4:00 am. I'm never in a deep sleep.

I ordered a beginners hip-hop exercise DVD yesterday. I can't wait to 'cool' myself to slim.
I'll let you know how it works out.

Not Just a Thursday

I wrote a friend and told her that I was thinking about her son who had turned his back on God and was very angry. She replied that they all needed prayer. She said her husband would be informing their church that he would be stepping down as senior minister. He is leaving the church and family for another woman. I am sick. Both are wonderful people. I hate when Satan attacks and when our guard is down.

I FB'd him that I was praying for him. He de-friended me. I'm still praying for him, her and theirs.

I weighed in. Gained .6 lbs. I'm not worried about it unless it happens again next week. I'm not eating enough. I have so many points (because I'm so over weight!).

Life is good for me. Each day brings chaos, sadness, devastation and pain to others. I know that. I know that not everyone had a good day and dreads getting up tomorrow. I know.

Just for Today

Today was such a nice, leisure day. I went to church this morning and felt the Spirit over me. My friend called today with affirmations; always a nice touch to the day.

It was suppose to rain, didn't.

I checked many things off my list and have a huge sense of accomplishment.

I'm preparing for a nice dinner for myself tonight. It will be with Weight Watcher's in mind.

I miss desserts. Chocolate everything especially. I like the Snack Well chocolate marshmallow cookies. They are only 1 point each. But what I would really like is a big slab of chocolate cake with fudge frosting and a chocolate shake.

I found out the vanilla Frosty at Wendy's is 3 points. I had one as part of my lunch on hot day last week. It WAS refreshing but didn't hit the snack spot.

I hope if you are reading this that your day was blessed!

Another Meeting

I went to another Weight Watcher meeting. I lost 2 lbs. That's good news since I have really stuck to the program. In the past, I didn't always lose weight... I attribute it to not enough food or water.

I went for a walk the other day. It was very nice and I enjoyed it. I think the main reason I enjoyed it was the company I had with me and the gentle breeze.

Today is a busy day for me. I hope to accomplish some detailed tasks. My list may be over ambitious. I will try to prioritize just in case I don't complete the list by the end of the day.

It's overcast today. I'd love to stay in and look at magazines and lay around but the list calls and I must answer.

A great day to all!

Baby Steps

Lost 5 lbs this week. I'm glad.

My house is a mess. I don't know where to start so I just carry this there and put that here. Little by little, if no greater mess is made, it'll get done.

I need to practice what I preach in my life. I have so many things I want to do yet don't get started. I want to start some projects, work on my yard, sew, move furniture and on and on.

I need to make a plan. Again with the baby steps. My weight is about baby steps, my housework is about baby steps and my goals are about baby steps.

When I learn to quit looking at the over all project/goal and begin to look at the steps to get there I will be on my way. That's what I do with this Weight Watchers gig. Why don't I do it with other stuff?

I'm off to move another thing over there.

Alone

I find myself alone more often than not; at least that's the way it is when I'm not at work. I don't mind doing my own thing but I do kinda feel lost when I'm the only one in a large space.

Today, I'm not so uncomfortable in my own skin... I guess I just want someone to hear what I'm expressing. I don't have anything earth shattering to proclaim, I just want a receiver.

In due time I guess. I'm an empty nester now and my husband works 2nd shift. I try to wait up for him but I get so sleepy. I'm certain I'm one of those ladies every stranger hates to start a conversation with because I probably go on and on. If they'd stop and have a cup of coffee with me I'd probably spend the better of an afternoon with them.

Funny thing, I don't feel lonely. It hasn't always been that way. I use to have a tug in the pit of my heart that would ache with loneliness. Today I don't feel that and for that I am grateful.

Hey, here comes that cat. I better go, I've been meaning to discuss something with her.
