http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ng-flowers.gif Hi there big guy, Good to see you drop in :) I hope you will be able to stop in before the weekend, but if you don't... *Have a great time!* :cheers: Hey there Sherry girl... no competition here :shrug: are we competing? I didn't know that :lol: I just come in my office soon after my walk because it is WARM ;) I don't like to compete in that way... only when it comes to challenging myself am I a big competitor :bubbles: Or maybe with getting in some walking miles :D Now there... my competitive personality may come out some :lol: By the way... I totally agree with you about NO PROCESSED FOODS!! Joe and I had cut them out about 6 years ago when I saw a program on Discovery Health about Hydrogenated & Partially Hydrogenated Oils and it's link to hardening of the arteries, strokes and heart attacks. So many of the food prepackaged today have it in them for a creamy texture in the product!! So if you want a treat ~ you are best off to make it yourself and with fruit is better. This morning for breakfast I had Free-Range Omega 3 egg-whites, scrambled (sometimes with 1 yoke), 1/2 cup of Organic old fashion oatmeal cooked w/ cinn. and molasses and 3/4 C of fresh strawberries :T (yes...the ones that my Zeppe got into yesterday :lol: ). So going Natural is Ohhhh sooooo goood for you :smug: Congrats on your weight loss & eating better... you are well on your way to good health & a better life :bravo: Margie B, You are doing very well indeed!!! 20.7 miles already... after your walk today you just may pass me up :o I think this is so much fun!! I have always wanted a *walking buddy* and now I do :flow1: I so know what you mean about the laps!! I walk 4 times around the park where I live to get in 3 miles and sometimes that last lap seems to stretch toward the end :lol: You are doing a marvelous job!!! Hi Teel, Long time no see :( I am so sorry that your life seems to be full of calamity these days... I wish I could wiggle my nose and make it all better for you :grouphug: But I CAN keep you in my prayers and I HAVE! You have my number... call when you can and hopefully I will be home :o You know that I am here if you need to reach me ;) *God Bless You!* http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...yD57/Cute2.gif {{{Hugs}}} SunnyD <>< *~*~*~*~*~*~* |
Hi!
Wow! 4 pages in 1 day you guys are good, I'll have a stack to read when I get back.
Margie- Mitchy is right- all of us have been there and it is so fustrating to have a post and then loose it. Mitchy- prayers it works out, so true have to look after you, the rest will take care of itself. Mrs. Smiley- Fruit and yogurt, nuts wow your making me hungry that sounds good, thanks for compliment. I am a single, childless women so my family, and youth group take up alot of my free time. My staff are also very good so most of the time things go smooth, the moms with work, kids, hubby ect ect. are the ones that have it rough. Jackay- They do have pinchy cheeks they are adorable kids. Sunny- Hey there! Thanks ! Of course I have pics, my kids, you guys will be plagued with them. The cat/berries what a cute story M-newton- Have fun on vacation Mom of 10- prayers for resolve and dedication, can't even imagine what your day is like. I have to do dinner for 4 clients at work, and that usually gets me hungry so I end up picking instead of eating, then eat later so get behind I think posting everyday is a great idea, keep us informed how your doing, Wilma- congrats that is way no no meds! Teel- sorry to hear of the falling out with your friend that is too bad, prayer all things work out. pray you find an appropriate church as that is so important. E.Z.- busy man these days Well gotta run do the girl thing- dye hair, shave legs get packed leave tom. at 8:30am won't be back till a week from Monday. See ya! I am down 5 lbs at weigh in yesterday- must of been the stress, as I ate poorly. This week will be a challenge as well. |
Good morning all! :wave:
Welcome to all newbies! Teel, good to see you again. Wilma~Way to go! :bravo: Eric left me a message on answering machine yesterday....and he WAS in the hospital for 3 days, not sure why yet, because i haven't talked to him on the phone. So not sure if i'm upset at him or not. I'll listen to what he has to say. |
:wave: Have a GREAT TIME Sue!!!! :wave: BE SAFE! (((Hugs))) SunnyD <>< *~*~*~*~*~*~* |
Hi
The DASH diet...
Found it on page 145 of my First Place/Living the Legacy weight loss book. The latest news on controlling blood pressure, however, comes from a study called DASH- Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, this study found that eating the right foods can lower blood pressure as effectively as taking medication... High in fruity/veggies (7-10 servings a day) " " low-fat dairy foods (2 - 3 servings a day) " " grains (breads, cereal, rice/pasta (6 or more servings a day) Remember...the white grains are worthless Moderate amounts of lean meat, chicken or fish daily (no more than 2 servings daily) Legumes, nuts and seeds (4-5 servings weekly) (more beans and nuts or seeds) Low in fat and saturated fat- no more than 2 to 3 daily servings of fats, such as oils, marg, mayo or s. dressing. Low in sweets- no more than 5 low-fat sweets each week. Fruit is the preferred dessert. The DASH study did not involve efforts to lose weight or restrict sodium. The DASH researchers don't understand all the reasons that this eating plan is so beneficial. One reason may be its hight potassium, magnesium and calcium content. There is good evidence that salt restriction can lower blood pressure. Higher salt intake is related to higher blood pressure in some people. Cutting back on salt and sodium may help keep blood pressure low. Use less salt in cooking and at the table. Most salt and sodium come from processed and fast foods. On and on... This was taken from the above mentioned bood. The First Place/Living the Legacy is the program I started last night. Basically, it's following the pyrimid and the exchanges per day with TONS and TONS of bible reading, scripture and prayer. |
So down
Today has not been so good, gals. I got into a big fight with my friend Chris last night, I dropped out of college today, and I feel more depressed than ever. But hey, on the up side I dropped four pounds. Whoop dee frickin doo. I'm so confused right now, I just feel hurt and useless. What's the point in trying when it ultimately gets you NOWHERE!
|
Lateralus98~i'm sorry you had that big fight with Chris but try to give it some time. Hopefully you'll make up soon, or feel better about it. It's ok to feel hurt. You need to keep in mind that you've been successful, you are already down 5 lbs. WOOHOO We all have struggles in life, this is yours for today, but it doesn't mean that you can't be good to yourself. Hang in there sweets! :grouphug:
|
Yeah I know, sometimes it just gets too hard to bear. I just feel like this is pointless.
|
Afternoon
lateralus98...Don't be so hard on yourself. NOTHING is hopeless and I know you know that. Through Christ all things are possible. These are just setbacks and what satan means for evil, God turns into good. DO NOT FORGET THIS. Find scripture that pretains to your situation or how you feel and read it, write it, memorize it, sing it, and keep repeating it and satan will be defeated. The Word is our strength and shield. I will keep your frustrations in my prayers today.
|
Thank you so much for all of your support. It really means a lot to me.
|
lateralus98...Think about it...you had this icky night and a frustrating day...BUT...do you REALLY want to ruin your entire weekend you waited to have all week. No...you don't want that. There is NOTHING you can do to change all the yuk, accept the attitude and response and reaction to the Yuk. Awwww...c'mon, give yourself that huge bear hug, I'm giving you one too and smile, and HEY...IT'S THE WEEKEND! Do something for YOU this weekend but not get reckless with the food. God Bless!
|
Thanks!
Thanks. I'm trying to fix this train wreck by going to the college and talking to an academic advisor. Thank you for the advice...definitely will take it! :tread:
I have to have to HAVE TO work in at least 15 mins on that exercise bike. Hey, we all gotta start somewhere, right? :lol: |
P.S. the scripture readings REALLY helped calm me down a lot. Thanks for the tip!
|
For lateralus~
"He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:3 "But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles; They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God." 2Corinthians 1:3-4 "Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy." 1 Peter 4:12-13 My advise to you is to put your hope in God! You need to refuse to be overwhelmed by your circumstances. You need to put your confidence in God. He will lift you up, and He will take care of you and protect you. Another thing that helps me is to read Psalms. Prayer for you: Lord, depsite what has happened to me, I will put my hope in you. I believe that you will work out all things for good. In Jesus' name. Amen. My prayer: Dear Lord, I ask you to lift up this child of yours and restore her hope and energy in You. I pray Lord that what ever has happened in her life that you will calm the storms and smooth any uneasiness away. I ask you Father to put your loving arms around her at this time and comfort her. Lord, only you know what she is going through and her feelings. Lord, I just ask that you will help her know that no matter what happened or happens that you love her just the way she is. And Lord, please help her to always remember to not rely on herself but to rely on You. Help her to turn her anxiety and stress over to you. Lord, I ask that you flood her mind with peace right now and take away all the anxiety, stress, fear, and all negative thoughts. I ask that you help her to have more faith and know that you are always on her side and there for her and will rescue her anytime she needs you. Please, Lord, help her to put her confidence only in you and not her circumstances. Please help us Lord to be there for her and help her in anyway she needs us. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. |
