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

Prayer

So,

Last week I was reading AG.org (I am a member of the Assemblies of God) and I was searching for a topic of prayer. It had said that when praying, pray for the Holy Spirit to come and help you pray and he will give you the right words to pray.

I was praying Saturday and what a powerful prayer that was but on Sunday, I just started to pray and seeking the Holy Spirit and I actually felt him coming to help me along. That feeling was so amazing, I'll never forget it!!!!

Other than that not too much else to "blog" I just had to get that out there!!!!!!!!!

I am still trying to stop eating when full but I sure am not counting or watching anything. I probably gained weight that I lost with Sugarbusters back but I'll eventually lose it again once I get the "hang" of this. I hope anyway.

Day 3

O.K. so I gotta be more original with the titles of these things. Still trying to get the "hang" of it. I don't know how to add pictures yet but I'll figure it out at some point.

Last night again, I didn't eat after supper. Why? Why? you ask? I didn't get home til 8:15 so I ate and went to bed. I left work at 2:15 it took me 6 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know the whole State had problems but next time I'm staying home..... Praise God for getting us home safely though.

Oh ya, I forgot we did order a pizza while we were in traffic. The people behind must've been cracking up. The funny thing is we only moved one car length by the time the guy jumped and returned with the pizza, but that was at 2:30 so I guess that would've been a snack.

Leah, I'm missing your posts again, you have time to "comment" why not "post".

Well TTFN (Ta Ta for now)

O.K. Day 2

So I'm on day two of "blogging" and I must say, it took me about 10 minutes just to find a way to get to a different subject format.

Last night I made it two nights in a row without eating before bed, I think I'm going to concentrate on that alot more. I have a very bad habit of doing that. I could eat watching tv then right before bed have something again. Let me rephrase that. I made it two nights without having anything to eat after supper but I am going to concentrate more on the no meal before bed.

I found myself yesterday not completing my meals I do have to concentrate more on eating slowly its just that by the time I'm on bite 3 its already swallowed.... I remember my Aunt telling me when I was a child that proper etiquette was 42 chews... are you kidding me, why don't I just start chewing now with no food maybe I can psyche myself out into thinking that I'm actually eating.

Anyhoo. Congrats to my Bible Study buddy Dianna for her weightloss and Yes, Leah I probably am going to the big bash on Friday night. We, bible study buddies can partake in a smidgen of birthday cake together.

Take Care and God Bless!!!!

So Here I Go

As I've been posting to two other blogs, Dianna and Leah I decided I'd start my own also. Well I guess we'll see how this goes.......

I have been up and down with weight since the birth of my first child 17 years ago. I finally got down to a size I was comfortable with and then I was pregnant with my second child. I haven't lost any of that weight yet. It's been 4 1/2 years UGH!!!. I did lose some weight with sugarbusters but again, as with any other diet, it is a way of eating and once you stop you gain it all back.

I am trying to eat when hungry stop when full and seeking the Lord in prayer before eating. My Bible study buddies, Dianna and Leah are doing that. Dianna has been doing great, Leah has too but she working on other issues also.

I have so much on my prayer plate, personal stuff, spiritual gift, worship, etc. its just so overwhelming but it dawned on me the other day that you cannot stop praying for a need because you're plate is full, you're always going to have a full plate, so I'll try to tackle it all with the Lord's help. They're all His anyway, He just has to give me direction as to what to do.
I just reallly really have a hard time deciphering when He is speaking to me.. But, with prayer,
I'll know.

Anyhoo, Maybe I'll continue with this and maybe I won't. We'll see.

Take Care
