All in how I look at it Mood
Friday, October 24, 2008 | A General Update story
Time goes on, one day follows another, one foot in front of the other, pray, pray pray. This is where my strength comes from. I pray and pray and say "out loud" Thank you God, thank you lord, even if its only a green light or the bus that turned off the one lane each way road. I am thankful for the beautiful fall we have this year, enough water this spring and summer from the floods. I guess there is a pay-off. I am walking, eating less (cost of food) one and a half meals a day and I am losing weight, Hurray. I must choose carefully to stay healthy. So.....here's the grin......people pray "please God help me quit smoking, I just can't do it ", when you try to light up...He sends a wind, you block it. He sends rain, you get out your umbrella. Same with eating the wrong things or snack control....so if I look at it this way my way of eating is being helped....yea?  So I can grin, my mouth is not busy chewing!!

    Well, I came very close. Only really needed to lose 5 more lb's. I have held between 140-145 and that's why I haven't called it a success yet. T h ough, I am holding there during the time of year that is hardest for me. Winter in Iowa, since I can't go into the stores this time of year, that includes Malls, and outside is out of the question. So it's not so bad, holding my weight at 145, I won't complain.
