Trying Really Hard

Well I have tried really hard ( ok, not that hard I guess ) to be good this weekend. Yesterday I was really wanting to eat. I had a small bowl of spagetti right after work (that's another bad time for me ), then I went to my friend's and had a smal enchilda, little bit of salad with this really good cilatro dressing. Then about a half cup of home made ice cream. So I went to bed really full. I do not like that feeling. Then today I had a turkey BLT for breakfast. Then I took my grandson to the movie right after his game. I was so hungry that I ate a bunch of popcorn and some red licorice. Then again felt sick after. Too much. I am going to make myself scallops and steamed squash. So if things aren't as good on the scale has hoped for I'll know why that happened. I am not going to be freaked out about this and continue to eat. I am leaving the house for a part time job and I won't be home to eat the rest of the night. I read on someone's blog ( can't remember who, I have been lots of new blogs the couple of days. Anyway she said that she tricks herself when she cheats....like tells herself she hasn't gone over on points, so she doesn't feel like "Well I blew it....I might as well eat all day, week, month, year like a fool." I am sure you can relate. I thought that I might try that trick as a way of getting right back on plan after an afternoon like this one today.

I did walk this morning with friend. Went for about an hour. I love walking this time of year. It's still real chilly in the morning, then in the day it get's up around 80. LOVE IT. It was fun going to the grandson's football game this morning too. I have felt really good today. I am anxious to go to church tomorrow. I have been being better with my prayers and scripture study too. I think that just those 2 actions alone make me feel a world better. So have a good Saturday night no matter what you are doing....

    It's all baby steps and awareness - like you, I've discovered I don't like that "too full" feeling. Of course, it took me a long time to figure that out! You're doing so much better than you were even a month ago. Remember, one day at a time.

    Great positive mentality you have there! Sounds like you can get right back on track even if you do slip up a little :) No worries! Brand new week!

    I don't like that full feeling either! I know I've eaten too much the night before if I wake up in the morning and not hungry for breakfast. Dr. Oz on Oprah said that's an indication that you've eaten late in the night or ate too much.

    It's great that you have a great attitude and notice what you're weaknesses are.

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
