I almost baked cookies yesterday.  I thought to myself ~ six cookies ~ three each.  I abandoned that idea and ate one ball of cookie dough, returning the rest to the freezer.  I don't know how long I can hold out.

Here's the thing.... I did not weigh this morning.  Yesterday, after supper, Buck asked if I wanted to go for ice cream.  ICE CREAM!?!  Of course I went!  So I give myself a swift kick in the tush and move on.  Hopefully by next Monday I will have outdone myself by eating well and exercising EVERY DAY.
Til then.... Ta

Sunday morning ~ a new beginning.  Hebrews 12:1
"let us run with patience the race that is set before us."

Confession time ~ I weighed this morning and I have found the two pounds I lost.  This is what happens when you go to eat with family and have dessert (strawberry shortcake) and grab a fast food lunch (hotdog and Coke float) and DON'T get on the treadmill ALL week!
I also suffer from stress eating.... there, I said it.  I eat when I'm troubled, I eat when I'm sad, I eat when I have nothing to do....
HELP ME!!

I am happy to report I lost two pounds since last Monday.  I have to keep reminding myself, my body did not get to this weight overnight and it will not all suddenly drop off my body.
I would like to be a runner but Magras Don't Run so I will be a walker ~ jogger ~ swimmer.  I try to get in the pool every day ~ true, sometimes it is because it is 100 degrees and I've been working in the yard but while I'm in there cooling off I also swim and walk.
My sister, Wanda, has been diagnosed with breast cancer.  I would love to do a "run" for her.  October is breast cancer awareness month so I may look into that.


That's it for today ....

Good morning out there!
Thought I would visit my blog to see how long it's been since I was here.  Too long, right??  I think I will try blogging on Mondays just to get back in the habit.  There may be pictures ~ maybe not, we'll see.
I would like to be confident enough to post a photo of myself ~ not going to happen.  I am starting a new diet today and you know how people do the "before" photo?  Let's just say I am definitely a BEFORE. 
That's it for today ~ see you next Monday (hopefully with a weight LOSS)

No need to get too excited ~ this picture is from last year when we got snow.  I'm wishing it would come again.  I like the quiet peace that wraps the earth when it snows, don't you?

I talked to our daughter that lives in Colorado and they are predicting 14 inches of snow for them.  Thankfully Colorado is prepared to deal with that.

Looking at that photo makes me want a cup of tea ~ anyone interested?
