Hi friends

Good Morning friends, It has been a while since I have posted anything. There have been all kind of interruptions in my life the past 2 weeks. As I have said before when I get worried about something I graze and eat mindlessly so my confession to my friends is that I have been on a binge lately and HAVE GOT TO GET THIS OUT OF MY SYSTEM. first my friend Shirley almost died and I found out that another friend had died. Then Charles is home on vacation for 2 weeks and I just seemed to be under a lot of stress this passed couple of weeks so now I have to get back to it.
     I am starting over again and I want to say thank you to Trisha Middleton for asking about my blog last night. She reminded me that I have to stop worrying and get back to work. Seems like when you get down Satan just sits on you and laughs at you and makes fun of you until you begin to listen to that negative voice in your head. For example "you can't stick to anything". or you can do it tomorrow don't worry about it today, or you can make up for it in the morning or the afternoon,knowing all the time that it's not gonna happen. So I say to my friends who are following my journey I am going to start over and get my act together. Just because my husband is at home and wants 3 big meals a day doesn't mean I have to eat that way. So back to the watching of my plate and what goes in my mouth, I think a food journal is in order from here on out. Maybe if I do that I will watch it closer if it is black and white in front of my face. So please keep me in you prayers and please post a comment to keep me motivated and going forward. I love you all and hope you have a blessed day. Katie

Been a Long day

Hi everyone, hope you have had a wonderful day. It has been a long day for me,glad it is over. I was able to get in 10 minutes on the treadmill. been pretty good today, watching my plate. I had a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast and a fish sandwich for lunch. nibbled on some mixed nuts and had one bottle of water and 4 cups of coffee. I know I need to drink more water and LESS COFFEE. lol
   Now the challenge is to get through this evening without over eating. I know this is going to be a battle with me. I am tired and all I want to do is go to the kitchen and graze for a while,BUT I will not give in.So have a great evening and a blessed day tomorrow. Good night

Beautiful day

It is a beautiful day out today, not to cold nor to hot, I got the hubby off to work in the middle of the night and now i am fighting with myself about getting up and walking the beast before church this morning. I know if I don't do it now I will not do it so here goes. I have hit my goal and now seem to be stuck at 200 so I really need to work at it now to break that 200 But I know with God's help and my determination I will accomplish this. Thank You for the prayers and please keep it up I need strength to get me over this hill in my journey, don't want it to become a mountain. So praise God today and have a wonderful Sunday in the house of the Lord. Peace and strength to all. Off I go to do my time on the beast lol.

Roasted Cauliflower

I just made the Roasted Cauliflower it is Delicious, I wish I had learned about this sooner. Now I know how to fix this vegetable that I have never cared for before. I will be doing more of this and other vegetables like this, it is GREAT.

recipes

I saw this on face book just now and thought it sounded good so i wanted to share it with you all.

Roasted Cauliflower

Cut into florets, drizzle in olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Roast at 400 for a half hour or so, or until the cauliflower is browned. You will never believe how delicious this is!

Good Morning All

Well it is another day on my journey to getting fit and healthy again. I am working hard to get back in shape. Husband is home today so it won't be as easy to stay on the diet. but I am going to try. Got up sneezing this morning I hope I am not coming down with something. Oh well I will feel better when I get going on the beast this morning. So I pray today will be a blessed day and for everyone on this journey with me, keep working at it don't give up or give in. I have been battling the sweet tooth this week but I will not give in. God is there with me every step of the way. When I am tempted I just start praying for God to remove that desire from me and move on. Out of site out of mind so I remove myself from the temptation.
    You know that is something I never really thought about that much. I guess that is why I drifted into trouble because I always give into temptation. Sad confession but I did, never really knew the power of prayer to remove me from the temptation until I started practicing it every day. So sad that I had to be this darn old to realize such a simple concept. But I guess we get smarter with age just glad I realized it before I got to darn old  and set in my ways to change. <3
    Well I guess I had better get up and get on the treadmill this morning so I send my love and God's blessings on each and every one who reads my blog. Here I go my friends I hope that I have given a word of encouragement to us all as we journey to a healthier us .

Being Good is Hard

         I am being good, turned down an invitation to go to lunch with my friends. CHOSE to stay and eat my somewhat healthy foods today. I am here at project care having lunch and posting a quick update today. 
        I weighed this morning and have gotten rid of the 3 pds that I gained last week. Please remember me when you pray for strength to resist the sweets and breads that my body and mind are craving.
        I saw something on face book this morning that I thought was so true, it said something to the effect that when you are waiting on God to open a door Praise Him in the hallway. I thought that was such a profound thought. Because I sometimes forget to praise him when I'm waiting for the door to open. If we do this we will be a lot happier while we are waiting. 
         Our new Sunday School material is just fantastic. I am understanding more and more what a great gift of love that He has given us as Children of God. We have someone who will walk through the fire of life with us. We are never alone, When we have a spiritual walk with Jesus. I am so glad that I know Him as my personal savoir,as things get worse and worse here on earth I know that I have a Heavenly Father who protects and guides me every step of the way. IF I will be quiet and listen. So for me to do that I have to turn off the television and all the distractions and noise of this earth.God says
                    BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.   
So I will be still and listen to his small quiet voice in my mind. I love to hear his loving voice that comes to me in the still of the early mornings. Thank you Father for calming my fears and showing me what you would have me to do this day. Amen
Good Morning all I have changed my blog to Google blog, not to sure about how to do this one but I;m sure I will figure it out. So i am just experimenting with this post to see what I can do with it
