Lent Day 3- a little rough

Day three and Gary wants pizza. WOW, I did eat the toppings off one slice and the thick part of the crust but not the entire piece I also had two root beers.  Tonight we are going out with Tom and Kathy, we are going to get Chinese food and then go to Blobs Parks for some oldies. The hard part will be the alcohol.I will limit myself. But I feel over all I am doing well.


 This morning I had a two egg omelette with mushrooms and cheese, two cups of coffee.
No face book since Tuesday the 4th of March... That's differently the easiest part.

Day two completed!

I was  able to get through day two , I had two boiled eggs for  breakfast, salad and smoked turkey for lunch and spaghetti squash and pasta meat sauce. So good. Great substitute  for spaghetti!
Down 3 pounds! Extra benefit for lent, giving up weight!

God is with me.

Lent 2014

I have never given anything up for Lent. But this year I made the decision to give up Facebook for Lent, as well as obvious Carbs. such as cereal, potatoes, bread, chips,cookies.

1. So far one day done and I succeeded. We will see what today brings.This morning a had two boiled eggs for breakfast. I plan on salad with smoked turkey for lunch, and stir fry veggies and fish (Talapia). I pray for strength to be steadfast on my resolve to give up Facebook and Carbs for Lent

Getting ready to start my new job.

So far I haven't received a call that the orientation  for Home Instead Senior Care isn't delayed another week. So I am excited that tomorrow I will  learn about caring for the elderly and hopefully start my new part time job.

I am still looking for full time, but at the moment this is where I need to be. I have been so depressed for not working and I have realized that I need to have a routine otherwise I'm lazy. And I hate to be lazy..

Addiction part two

Remember earlier this month I  talked about being addicted to  face book games, well I have not played a face book game since. But I have to admit to another addiction- CARBOHYDRATES.  My body craves them.

Today, I bought the The New Atkins for a new you cookbook. It seems like it has some  normal foods, easy to make. That's what I need. I weigh 181 and I need to lose at least 50 pounds.  I am exercising, walking 30 minutes and using the ab lounger, as well as just starting the tape slim in 6.

I want to feel better, be healthier. I am the one in the front row on the left next to Pastor Tracey in then lavender top.  I have to lose it!

Catch up

It's been a few days since I wrote in my blog. Monday nothing exciting happened.  exercise , laundry, first Deacon meeting.That was exciting to me. It was a pot luck and the food was great the company was awesome. It is great to be in a room with 14 other church leaders. I am on the worship committee. Not sure yet  my duties, but Feb 1, we are having a training class, from opening the sanctuary doors to closing them after service. Mom and Dad's 64th wedding anniversary. Dad is not with us any longer, But mom says she's still married! We started getting warning of a big bad winter weather storm. Our church started it's week of Winter Relief, we generally take the homeless in for the night a four pm and then they leave a 7 am. but the weather is so cold that they were trying to decide the best way to handle the situation.

Tuesday -21st, ,  Schools closed the night before  the temp is in the neg degrees. Gary got to come home  early, snow was only about 4 inches. Very cold

Wednesday- 22nd  I was suppose to start my new job, but because of the weather they canceled the orientation class until the 30th. So I stayed home and stayed warm!

Thursday 23rd.  Got my unemployment check, went out for a short time to take care of banking and mail, came home. did Laundry, vacuumed upstairs stayed warm.

Friday- 24th, today after exercising I went to the Mall and walked, picked up a new Atkins cookbook. looks like normal food is used, looking forward to using it. Need to get this weight off.
A friend had surgery today, because she broke her leg last Saturday. Prayers said for her. Prayers for my family in Michigan  for the loss of my cousin.
