I'm posting after only 2 days, so I'm doing better. at least for today.
Some things I'm trying in the new year:
I'm drinking at least a gallon of water a day. I fill this giant gallon-sized sippy thing I bought at Walmart for $2.50, red. really pretty, with filtered water from my fridge and try to consume it in one day. I've eliminated a drink at lunch and keep it with me at all times. So far I've been successful more than not, but this is my concession to trying to lose weight.
I'm not buying cookies. If I need a cookie, I bake one from a pre-packaged Nestle bag. I only allow myself one and no more often than every other day. I always have something to look forward to! By the way, the white chocolate macedamia and turtle varieties are quite tasty and you can only bake one at a time if you want.
I'm walking some. I'm trying to keep track of how far I've walked and so far this year, I've walked 8 miles on purpose. This is in addition to walking from the couch to the kitchen, etc. I'm hoping to walk 100 miles by May. I guess I need to quit blogging and get out there!
I'm going places where I know no one. I'm trying quilt guilds, quilt shops, women's community groups, Bible studies, etc. So far so good. No one has been mean or unkind and I've actually made a few friends!
Speaking of Bible studies, I'm taking "Wrestling with God" by Kay Arthur. It is a four week study with pretty intense homework every day. That's new for me, too. Incidentally, the title of the study is pretty relevant don't you think? Do you even know me? How did I get here in Katy, anyway. I guess God won that match! HAHA
Well, if I'm going to be posting more often, they won't be as long. Have a great day! God is on His throne and has us all in His hands! How comforting!
