Worth Repeating

I know I say this every other blog, but WHERE IS MY DAY GOING?  I can't believe it is Sunday and I've only blogged 2 times this past week.  I love working.  I love seeing and meeting new people every day.  I love my co-workers and leadership at the bank.  It is a joy.  But I'm slipping back into bad habits.  I'm not thinking about what I'm going to eat.  I don't plan and I get hungry.  It is a struggle many with weight issues face daily
....no time....or feeling like there's no time.....or just not taking the time.  THAT is my problem.  I do have the time to plan and organize my days but I'm doing other things-- like coloring or watching TV or reading or (fill in the blanks)______.  I have loads of excuses.

Okay, now it is Monday!!!  Yesterday I wrapped gifts and I did plan out what I was going to eat.  AND I stuck to it... plus the fudge that a wonderful parishioner brought over...and a few mini Reese's peanut butter cups  that another sweet parishioner brought over.  I asked College Daughter to eat it and she said "No! I'm not sabotaging my weight."  I asked Hubby and he said "No! I've already had one."  "One!!!??"  Can you believe those two?  I love the way they think.  I'm taking a cue from them.  I will say "No! I've already had one" (that's the cue) or the really hard response "No! I'm not sabotaging my weight."  Out, out, damn fudge and Reese's peanut butter cups!!!  I love the people who thought about us and brought them over, but I do not love YOU!

What a great day to take a cue from those who do not struggle with weight problems.  The word of the day is "NO."  (But not screaming it....just refusing.)


Here's another No worth repeating.  Strawberry do not buy that hat!

  1. Our minister yesterday said that they have been receiving all kinds of baked goodies from church members. Their African house guest said that was a good way to bring them "closer to the congregation!

  2. Cathi, I agree. When you bake and give, you are giving from the heart and hearth.
