Another Day

Well this morning, not feeling too well. I have a scratchy throat, I ate my cinnamon bread and now I'm loading up on cough drops. It figures, whenever I start doing well on an eating goal I always get sick, but at least I'm not on a diet so I can still have what I feel like having and not over do it and Praise God that I'm not THAT sick. I could be worse!!!

So on that note, I'm leaving.... Have a great weekend and bible buddies maybe I'll see you tonight and maybe I won't!!!!!

Another New Day

O.K. so yesterday, to me, I did great if I don't say so myself.

I had nothing else until suppertime then I ate my supper slowly, it's tough mind you but maybe I can get slower with each meal. I then went to my bible study class and I just knew when I got home I was going to have a cookie (marshmellow with covered in choc with raspberry in them middle) and a glass of milk. As I got ready for bed I thought to myself that I'll just have the glass of milk but I ended up not having ANYTHING!!!! I was so proud of myself. I just hope I can keep it up.

I prayed yesterday before everything I ate even the cookies at lunch. (Leah, just pray and you'll feel so much better, I'm praying for you and Dianna too). Granted that was only my real first day but I believe with His help I can do this!!!!

So far this morning, 1/2 piece of cinnamon bread we'll see about the other half. I am a bit more hungry but I'm holding off.

Happy New Year!!!

Well, I'm back.

I had a little time off of work and I'll tell you I ate and ate and ate. I tried not to stuff myself but I wasn't watching what I was eating either. I had a good time being home with my son and daughter though although I think she was getting sick of me, she wanted to go to DayCare.

But today is a new day, I gave my eating habits to the Lord over the weekend and now I am concentrating really hard today. First off, I was usually a routine eater, sametime, everyday.
Today I had a homemade slice of Cinnamon Bread (my Mom's) and ate 1/2 at 9:30 and the other 1/2 with my lunch. Normally I would've eaten the whole slice at 8:15 or 8:30. Then for lunch, I ate my sandwich very slowly and waited then I ate the other 1/2 of bread. I also brought 2 homemade oatmeal raisin cookies (mine) and I only had one I still have the other one but I'll probably eat that later around 3:00. A normal lunch would've been the sandwich a bag of chips or small salad and the cookies then I'd have something else around 2:30. So I think so far so good. Again, its only the real 1st day for me. Yesterday I didn't do too bad but I wasn't feeling well anyway.


Oh Ya, I really prayed before I ate this time too. Not just a quick prayer.

Anyway, I'm back I guess, we'll see how long this one lasts.

Thanks for the prayers Leah and Dianna you guys are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Final Farewell

Well after today I am on vacation and won't be back in work until 12/31/07. So, Dianna and Leah that will probably be the reason as to why I'm not commenting on yoru posts.

I don't think I'll be on the computer while at home.

Yesterday was a pretty good day, I didn't finish my muffin and my lunc which was a slice of pepperoni pizza whas quite filling. I usually have a cookie after lunch and I didn't even feel like eating it. I ate it speriodically, it lasted 2 1/2 hours and I didn't eat the whole thing so that was good, also nothing again after supper and no, I didn't get home too late this time. Although we did leave earlier.

I did pray about my eating in the morning forgot again to do it right before I eat. I'll have to concentrate on that one.

Have a Merry Christmas

Take Care, Dianna and Leah I'll see you tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finding a Barrel

Well last night was another heavy traffic night so all I did was eat supper. I think next year I'll take this week off. Its just not worth being gone for 13 hours and only working 8 of them.

I just finished reading my bible study buddy Leah's post and she's having a hard time with stopping when full. I must say that this morning I had a pumpkin muffin but didn't eat it all and then I went to grab a cookie about 2 hours later, (someone gave us some for Christmas) and I took a bite and didn't feel like eating it. I didn't want to walk to the trash barrel (we have barrels at our desk but only for recyclable trash) and I just ended up eating the rest of it. It was a small cookie but I should've made the effort to walk to the barrel to get rid of it especially since I wasn't even hungry for it.

I haven't been praying like I should when eating. I am so routine M-F I usually have my prayers while driving in my car to and from the van but I also should be trying right before I eat. I must say that I do say "grace" though.

Have a Great Day!!!

Breakfast

This morning we had our "Christmas B-fast" at Brigham's for work. All 3 of us. Whoo Hoo!!!(sarcastic) I ordered the lumberjack which of course is everything but the kitchen sink. I am glad to say that I basically had a little bit of everything and didn't eat the whole plate. I should've stopped maybe two bites before I actually did but all in all I didn't overstuff myself.

Lunch was just a bowl of soup with a roll which I didn't finish. I mean I almost finished it but I didn't. Anyhoo, still trying to make time to pray but I think I'll take my Bible study buddies advice and pray for a clear mind and to not dwell on it just to talk to Jesus as if we were having a cup of coffee and maybe more prayer will come out of that.

Have a great day!!!!

Prayer, Prayer and more Prayer

Don't really know what to "blog" about today. I just feel so overwhelmed with my prayer, maybe I'm trying to hard. I keep hearing, don't pray when worried, be humble, have faith, seek the Holy Spirit, to me there is just so much to remember when praying that I'm concentrating on all that and I keep thinking I'm doing something wrong.

I have to have patience, I know that. Let's see I prayed, now I wait, listen and go. I'm still waiting (then I heard, keep praying while waiting). I don't want to keep giving it to God cuz I already lifted that up to him so now I just wait and pray, wait and pray and have FAITH!!!!

So with all that said. I try to do that with all of my prayers and I am just so overwhelmed. Maybe I should just pray not to be overwhelmed with prayer.

Now hopefully I can just lift up my eating habits to Him. I haven't done that yet, I've just been praying about it, that will be next!!!

Thanks for listening
