status

Well... I have a friend who uses a phrase that I think is a good one for me...

Suck it up buttercup!

Here I am....

not even at a standstill, but at a slight gain!

trying to regain some control over SOMETHING in my life...

or should I say, trying to allow God to control it!

With my mom (in-law) in the hospital for 6 weeks, and having gone through ups and downs, with her, I have found that I have often often OFTEN retreated to old habits aka FOOD.

I am not proud of it!

I am not flaunting it.

I hate to even admit it.

But that is the way it has been.

Flour and sugar have crept back into my diet.

Chocolate too.

I hate what stress does to me -

I am really very very weak.

But after dusting myself off

And giving it to God again (so WHY do I keep taking it back?)

I am on the road again.

(no, it is not Willie Nelson singing)

I exercised first thing.

I ate well!

I made good choices.

Lord, thank you.

Day 1.... sheesh, so HOW MANY TIMES did I think of chocolate? or donuts? The Tim Horton's coffee shop at the hospital is too convenient.

TOMORROW.... will be day 2.

I want to make sure I get my QT with God in - first thing!!

That folks, is my status... whether I like to admit it or not!
