Good afternoon GG's,
It is kind of an overcast day today. Coming down the home stretch on a couple projects. I have almost finished with another mini quilt (for a gift). And the sister themed mini quilt for my sister. Mostly just the hand stitching left now on those.
A prayer answered. This process of Jason working toward being able to get some training for a different job has taken so long. He was guided down one road, but that didn't work out ~ then his counselor left, and he basically had to start over with a new one. But I think it all happened for a reason ~ even though it is taking so long (I think he started on this process about a year and a half ago). They were going to line up tutoring help for him ~ they did that, then he had to wait for her to contact him. He was starting to stress out that things aren't moving along very fast. But I got message from him this morning that he will start his tutoring sessions on Saturday.
Carol Sue ~ (comment on an earlier post) we/I don't buy snacky stuff anymore. The stuff I snacked on last night wasn't necessarily bad stuff ~ it is just that I wasn't even hungry and didn't need it. In the evenings when I want to munch ~ I'm just itching to munch on something. Last night I had celery with ½ a wedge of that laughing cow cheese on it. The other half of that wedge I had between 2 saltine cracker squares. I had some graham cracker squares and some walnuts. I don't consider any of that “bad”. The frustrating part is that I'm not even hungry really, but just have this overwhelming urge to have something.
As it turned out, I won't be using the walnuts like that again ~ it didn't bother at the time, but this morning, my stomach didn't feel very good and I had a lot of gas and gas pains.
Carol Sue ~ Regarding your post this morning ~ I feel your pain. I could have written what you wrote. I eat stuff, I know better, I start to feel bad ~ think ~ why am I so stupid to play around with my health this way. I will walk the straight and narrow, then, when I feel better, I throw caution to the wind and go and eat something I know I shouldn't and it starts all over again. Makes me wonder what it is gonna take to straighten me out and change my ways for good.
Mary ~ Nice that your clothes are getting too big for you. Is there any way that you could take them in so that they would fit? Why is it that so many of us struggle with snacking in the evenings? We do ok all day long, then it all falls apart in the evening. Grrrrr
Hello to Marian and Sharon.
Hope you all are having a good day.
