Just for the Weight of It

I am at a loss for what to do concerning my weight.  However, I have all these grand ideas.  For instance, I have started eating healthier - at least in my mind's eye I have.  I have increased my fresh fruits and veggies by more than double for a couple of weeks...yes, I know!  I have been power walking on average 3 days a week and have cut my diet soda intake by half (no I didn't switch to regular).  And what do I get for all these changes?  All of which I have been doing for a month now?  Easy, I gained 7 pounds.  So what is one to do? I am at a complete and total loss, oh wait, I already said that!

Outside of starving myself and finding some sort of scary OTC remedy what is there?   What brought all this about you ask?  Simple, I just saw the pictures of my besties and me in our swim suits and wouldn't you know it I look the worst.  Oh, come on now, not many would dare to argue with me.  I would post one of the pictures to this, but am mortified that my friend even posted them to Facebook in the first place.  (Ok, so I will attach one of them; you are welcome!)

Then there is the fact that starting with next year's insurance policy I am going to have to start paying a fat tax.  I simply do not know how to undo 14 years worth of damage to my body.  Alas, I see that I will have to move, quite literally, to the next phase.  That would be research and cutting down even more of the foods that could be sabotaging my journey.  So here is a list of things that I need to accomplish:
  • Eat better foods (Healthy fats, fruits, veggies, protein, etc)
  • Exercise more (At least 30 mins a day)
  • Drink more water (At least 8 glasses a day)
  • Curb my sweet tooth (Processed sugars are evil)

Why that list?  Well, all that research out there tells me that is what I need to do.  Now, do they tell me how I am to do it in a way that is actually achievable and applicable to my life, well, no, but hey, we can't all have our cake and eat it too. 

Huh...then again, that is probably why I wrote this post in the first place.

Signed... Fat and Disgruntled

My Kitchen Curtains

Have you ever set out to redecorate a room in your home?  I find this one of the most infuriating things to do as a homeowner.  I swear I have used every color of paint known to man on these walls and still struggle to find that one color that just makes me swoon every time I enter the room. Because of this my walls are a lovely, albeit safe, shade of off white; though I am sure it has some fabulous name like - Barely There, Crushed Seashell, or Not Quite White.  But it comes across as truly B-O-R-I-N-G !  I mean, I have an intense personality and I am NOT afraid of color...heaven's you should see what I wear.  So, how do I take that and transform a room, and not spend a week's or a month's salary doing it?  Here's the dilemma.  I don't know what I like!  I know, right?!  How on Earth do I start when I don't know where to start?  Ok, perhaps I do.  I like red.  I like contemporary/modern, bit not overly geometric.  I like floral, but not itty-bitty prints.

But Would You Still Say Yes?

I've had a busy day.  Run the Littles here and there, flat tire, work from home, spend time with friends, run the Littles here and there again, fix dinner, answer emails - busy.  While waiting for my oldest Little's choir performance to begin I goofed around on my phone, but even that couldn't give my wandering mind rest.  So I silenced my phone and placed it in my purse and pulled out my Bible.  Yes, I carry it everywhere with me.  Yes, I have a phone app, but there is just something altogether more special about turning the pages, feeling the leather binding, holding God's truths in hand.  And I read.  Right where I left off.  Sometimes I think God knows where we are and not just in life, but in all things.  2 Peter 1:5-9: "For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to
