Bummer!

It's not working : (

When I'm too tired, I don't do more.

Aha!

You may have already been thinking this .... but it just came to me:

I need to DO more in my "awake" times so that I'm ready to sleep when I want to sleep. Soooo, I will be pressing through the hard part of getting up when I want to sleep more (in the daytime) and try to "force" myself to do more :)

I've cut myself back on just about all outside activities. I don't even scrapbook anymore : ( I haven't been to church on a Sunday morning in I don't know how long ... well, that is about to change !!

Stay tuned ...

Singing to the Lord

"For Thou, O LORD, hast made me glad by what Thou hast done, I will sing for joy at the works of Thy hands." Psalm 92:4

You, O LORD, have given me joy in exercise!

Tomorrow will start my 9th week on Weight Watchers. I've been plugging along, following the program and leaving my results to God.

What a surprise to discover that I lost 3.6 pounds this past week (for a total of 12 pounds) ! To God be the glory for what HE has done!

Water, water, water

I hadn't been drinking as much as I thought I was. I gauge myself by having to RUN to the bathroom throughout the day. That's how I know I'm getting enough : )

And amazingly (or not) the more water I drink the better my bowels move. Woo Hoo! I'm at the age where that is something to celebrate : )

I have a large Weight Watcher (32 oz) cup that I drink from thoughout the day. As soon as I empty it, I fill it up again. When I leave home, I take a water bottle with me. I can't take it for granted. Have to intentionally THINK about drinking water.

Tonight Bob took me out to eat. I thumbed through the Weight Watcher's Dining Out book to preview the menu selections BEFORE we even left home. I knew what I was going to order before we were seated at the restaurant. What a relief !

We ate at Chili's and I ordered the Guiltless Grilled Salmon ....yum!! Bob and I couldn't stop taking about how good the food tasted and how much we enjoyed the steamed veggies! They were scrumptous without any butter on them !! We both ordered a salad as an appetizer and thought it was one of the best salads we had ever tasted!

It's as if I am tasting food for the very first time!

I was chatting online with my dear friend just before I was about to ride my exercise bike. I challenged her to get on her treadmill and then come back to chat afterward. She took the challenge and off we went to exercise.

Time seemed to fly by as I thought about her walking while I was pedaling. In the days to follow we'd check in with each other and report whether or not we had exercised yet. I really enjoyed this special week we had together (even though we were miles apart) and the accountability it provided knowing that she'd be asking me if I had exercised that day.

Thanks L ; )
