Thanksgiving Day 2019

Good Thanksgiving Day Morning!

Settling in to watch the end of the Parade after making breakfast for DH and preparing a salad to take to my sister-in-law's for turkey day dinner.  I like to take a healthy alternative since no one else in the family except us seem to have any interest in that.  We count our calories, exercise regularly and try to eat a healthy balance.  If the only veggie at dinner is green beans drenched in ham fat/sodium, at least we'll have a healthy choice!

So - watching the parade - wow... I realize that I really don't have too much interest in it anymore.  The balloons are cool, but I don't like marching bands and the other singers just don't do anything for me.  The 12 year old rapper - wow...that could only appeal to other 12 year-olds!

This year I am thankful for so many things.  Over the past year I have grown in my spiritual relationship with the Lord and in my relationship with my husband and friends.  Having a deeper, more meaningful relationship with Jesus has enabled me to have better, more meaningful relationships with family and friends!

My prayer for this Thanksgiving - for everyone is that we move forward to turn this nation around spiritually, and morally. We need to stop expecting everyone to accept everything - no matter how warped or sinful it is.  I pray for our nation - for our president and all of our citizens.  Take time today to put your phone away and actually talk to the people who are in the room or around the table with you!



Have a safe, happy and blessed day!

Getting ready for P90X

One of my goals is that when I have lost 28 pounds, I will start doing the P90X workouts. I bought the set of DVD's two years ago and was just too heavy and out of shape to do them. I tried, but it was too much for me to sustain. Now I am 6 pounds away from meeting my goal so I started looking at the program last night...specifically the eating plan. I did all the figuring and it came out that I should eat 2400 calories a day when doing the workout. I can't imagine that is correct, I am sure that with the job that I have...spending much of my time in a car or sitting in meetings, that will be too much. Right now I eat between 1300 and 1500 calories a day, burn around 1100 calories in my workouts and I lose 1-2 pounds a week. I wonder if that calculation is based on maintaining weight and building endurance and muscle....who knows? I will have to research it further. The other thing is that I don't know if I will do the P90X every day, or if I will do other workouts, li...

walk on a chilly morning

My DH called me at 8am to ask if I wanted to go for a walk when he got home from work. Sure, I said, trying to be cheery, even though he had awakened me from a strange dream. My plan was to get back on track with diet and exercise today, so that was great timing. I put on some jeans that were less than clean, pulled my hair back in a pony tail, slipped on a t-shirt and sweatshirt and waited for his arrival. Shortly after he got home, I was checking out Yoville (almost have enough coin to buy my Cape Cod) when DH made a disgusted noise...he was trying to put my shoes on. You see, my feet are big and so we get our shoes mixed up easily. Anyway, we got our walking shoes on and away we went. It was cold...32 degrees! It was good to get out and walk...I have had so many things going on the last couple weeks that I have really ignored good eating habits and exercise has only been hit or miss. We were walking under the railroad underpass (highline as they call it here) and spotted a tin...

New Year is here!!

So I didn't do as well as I would have liked in my 50/50 challenge...but all is not lost! I gained about 9 pounds back, but I didn't fall too far off the wagon...kept up with exercise..just ate too much. Things are going much better now that I am motivated by the start of the new year. I am proud of myself for getting back on track before gaining all the weight back...like I usually do! Welcome to 2011!
