Happy Thanksgiving Eve!

Happy Thanksgiving everybody.  I’m telling you now that I have absolutely no intention on keeping points or eating anything remotely healthy tomorrow.  I’ll watch my portion sizes of course, but I’m going to enjoy every bite of my Granny’s dressing and every spoonful of my famous peach cobbler.  Although, I will remember what the weight watcher leader said.  It’s a Holi-DAY, DAY DAY.  Not a week, not a month, just one day.  Normally, I would go workout to at least help balance things out, but I don’t think that would be a good idea after yesterday’s accident.  I’m feeling okay today, just moving a little slower than usual.  The doctor said I might be sore for a week or two.   On another note, I’m even more irritated with my internet, or the lack there of.  The new company had the wrong apartment number on installation day, so I have to wait until December 9th for service!  Uggggghhhh, can you believe it?!  One of my best friends, sincerely asked me “how are You gonna survive?”

Thank God I’m Alive!

Today started off as any other day, but ended in a car accident on the highway.  Don’t worry, I’m okay…I think…This evening when I was leaving work, I was on a natural high.  I had just received a phone call from a law firm downtown.  I had my first interview with them over a month ago and they finally made a decision to hire me.  My current job is great; I really like my co-workers, and the company’s strong commitment to giving back to the community.  (I think I was donating like $50 a week for fundraising games and drawings, lol)   The problem was it was an hour commute and no benefits.  I really don’t want to leave, but I have to make decisions for the future.  As I walked through the parking lot, I was excited about my new-new job and equally excited about being able to work out again.  Today was supposed to be my first day back at boot camp class.  The highway was packed with the usual rush hour traffic.  All of a sudden when I approached my exit for class, traffic came to a screeching halt.  I nervously looked in my rearview mirror to make sure the SUV behind me was able to stop fast enough, and they were, but the Big Semi truck behind them could not stop and slammed into the SUV behind me, which pushed them into the back of my car.

World Wide Runners

I have to start by saying HELLO to my world wide runners!  There are people running to my podcasts from Australia to New Zealand.  The internet is so awesome!  Never in a Million years did I dream of my podcasts going so far.  As I mentioned earlier today, I’m at my parent’s house using their computer because my internet at home is crap.  Fortunately, the new one gets installed tomorrow….I had some rough patches during the week, lots of stress from working on the church anniversary committee and many frustrations from not being able to work out.  Then of course there was the dessert debacle earlier in the week.  I wasn’t sure what to expect at the Weight Watcher weigh in tonight.

A Blogger with No Internet

Hey Guys, I’m alive and well.  I just didn’t have internet access at home.  What kind of blogger has crappy internet service?  They (Charter) made me so mad, I canceled everything.  It was just so unreliable.  I get my new service (AT&T) installed tomorrow.  After my Weight Watchers meeting tonight, I guess I’ll go to my Mama’s house and use her computer to post the update.  Later!

The Power to Choose

We were all created with the innate power to choose. We make thousands of choices every single day all throughout the day. But it never ceases to amaze me that I often forget that I have the power to choose when it comes to food. Earlier this week I was busy helping with the church anniversary, and got stressed and in a hurry and ate Jack in the Box, and cake at Midnight while over my sisters house. Then at work, there is… “The Food Cube.” Would you believe there is an entire cubicle dedicated to FOOD! No lie. It’s stuff people bring in daily. I’m not talking about crappy food, nobody wants. It’s something new every day, chili cheese dogs, every kind of cookie, cakes, pies, donuts, you name it. I was being so good, but snickerdoodle cookies got me. I must have eaten 3 or 4. Cake the night before, cookies the next, I was so mad at myself. Then the next night at the church service I got a good word about how God gave us the power to choose. Of course the minister was talking about your power to make a decision to choose Christ, but related it to my everyday decisions that I have to make towards living a healthy lifestyle. I really do have the power to choose, I don’t have to eat “devil food” because I’m stressed or tired or too busy to cook a healthy meal. So I started out today with a new attitude. Every day, every time I eat, I have the power to choose to be healthy. As soon I woke up this morning I begin to think about the choices that I make and acknowledge that I’m the only one who can make decisions about what I eat. And today was a good day! I stuck to my points goal and make good choices all throughout the day.
