Psalm 34:17
The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
Pat lay crying in bed. It was so hard. It seemed that for every three pounds she lost, she immediately gained two back. She really wanted to lose weight, but she felt so weak in the face of temptation. Wasn't there anything that could help her? Pat fell asleep that night with a prayer on her lips. Strangely, she felt a wonderful peace the next morning. The battle was truly tough, but she was once more ready to face it. God didn't take away the struggle, but He was able to give Pat just what she needed to carry on. That is the wonder of our God.
Today's thought: I'll keep fighting fat until I'm fit!
Over the target by 500 cal the past 2 days but staying active, particularly yesterday after smoking 30 lbs of pork and brisket. Ready to get a good walk in follwed by cleaning smokers, buying propane and some work related stuff. I am not going to mess up the weight loss as I am focused on getting below the Mendoza line.
Good afternoon! Lazy morning and busy afternoon. Just got home from power walking and running an errand. Ran into a gal I used to work with at the grocery store. She and her mom were there getting some groceries. I had just checked out. They were coming in.
Good afternoon to all
WI up .2, so not a biggie for me just want to stay lower than last Saturday LOL
WO nothing today
I have spent most of my day painting a new mandala, right now it is on my garage floor with clear coat drying. This time I did it on a 30cm round mdf board. DH had some mdf at his shop so we went down yesterday and cut out 7 rounds for me to paint...the only problem will be trying to hang it on the wall. You can put a small nail in the back because it is only 1/8th" thick....I will figure it out. My poor home office is getting to look pretty crowded with all these I have been painting.
Diana what a lovely way to bring in the choir I can't believe that does not stress you but being with children does. Gosh we all have our triggers for sure!
Terri I am sure there are hiking clubs around me, I just am not good with formal things like that. We, and I mean DH and I prefer to strike out on our own. Yesterday we went to the local park/woods. The area we tromped through they have nicknamed 'the wildside' since it is attached to the park but there are not roads or picnic tables etc. Just trails. I managed to get into some nettles (dumb dumb me wore capris)...so of course that bothered me all day. Baking soda and water..the miracle cure for such things.
Usc4valpo OK I have to ask, what are you doing with 30lb of smoked pork?? Have a large family gathering? Storing for winter...oh how my mind does get silly
Rachel, good for you on the leg curls, when I try/tried to do them I would get cramps in my hamstrings. I tore my right hamstring once and it never really healed I think right. (yes I did a stupid thing to tear it, it was so loud when it happened DH though I hit the wall with my leg)
Good evening! Went for a power walk and ran errands after supper. There were some things that I forgot to get when I was there earlier. Will try to get to bed early tonight. Have a busy morning tomorrow.
Nancy The singing is a bit stressful but not as much as the kids. I am not used to being around kids. I was an only child and spent most of my time around adults. Also, DH and I didn't have any children.

Luke 12:29
'And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.'
Clyde was so infuriating! Every time his wife suggested that he go on a diet, he came up with some excuse. Most of the time he just said that diets weren't healthy. He was afraid he would do more harm than good. Clyde knew it was just a dodge. He didn't want to lose weight, and he saw no reason why anyone should want to push him. That all changed when he landed in the hospital with a heart attack brought on because his body simply couldn't carry the weight Clyde contained. Clyde no longer questioned what was right. Instead of doubting the intelligence of dieting, he wondered why he ever been so stupid as to resist it. Sometimes God needs to let us know through crisis what we will not hear normally.
Today's thought: If it's a choice between dieting or dying, I think I'll diet!
Mmm, all that brisket and everything sounds so tasty! Things are going well here (thanks for asking, Rachel!). I auditioned for a flamenco program for the year and got in, and I start this Friday. I'm very excited!
