Yes, I'm perfectly aware that I ended the title with a preposition. That's pretty much how my day is going. Since I've no where to blow steam, my blog was elected!
Our early church service starts at 8:30. We got there just in time to not be late. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, we got into a fight, and didn't go inside. I went to work early instead. (I work two jobs, one of which I am soon to quit.)
Before I get finished at work, I find out that my step daughter decided to do a crab boil at my house...for 11 people (me and hubster included). I'm a bit of a recluse, don't keep an immaculate house, and need at least a day's notice to get things in order.
That didn't happen.
No order in the crab boil, and no order in the house. I won't even give you the details! Suffice it to say, they don't have everything they need, and have gone to the store, I've been scrambling around trying to get the main part of the house decent, which I accomplished, and now, I actually have a minute to regain my sweet composure...and even I admit that my disposition usually isn't sweet, so that's going to be a big step.
God and I had a little conversation...I gave him a lot of thanks for things that are out of my control but surely I will enjoy, anyway. It helped me a little to remember how incredibly blessed I am.

Now...
Low Carb. Yeah, so there's something going on with me that I am going to have to nip in the bud. I am not even near a binge, so don't get me wrong on what I'm about to say, but my diet went from being somewhat healthy (at least healthier) to eating uh-lot of sugar free junk. I noticed an old habit resurfacing today, which made me realize that I am slipping off track.
I got a pack of sugar free cookies (which are definitely not carb free) and proceeded to eat them in my car on the way home. Not the whole package, mind you, I'm good to stop at a serving, or just over a serving, at a time. But those "times" are happening more and more throughout the day. I think I am going to have to give up all "sweets" for a couple of weeks. I am not about to let my weight loss stall because of too much sugar-free stuff! Besides, in my mind, that stuff can't be all that healthy.
I wrote a long comment and then when I went to post it, my internet blipped and I lost internet and lost the comment.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely stay away from sugar free; I think it contains more calories than people realize and even though you aren't counting calories, you're probably consuming more of them than you want to. And I do agree, it isn't the healthiest for you.
The enemy has a great way of stirring up things when people are on their way to church. Happens even in households where pastors live. Used to happen when my daughter was living at home; can't tell you how many times she would say something on the way to church that would cause me to have a less than ideal worship experience. I finally had to tell her she couldn't talk on the way to church (it was 10 minutes of less trip) so that we wouldn't stir up something.
I'd be a bit upset too to have my house used for a gathering without my foreknowledge.
You're doing great on your eating plan, just fine tune it back to more healthy eating and you'll continue to drop those unwanted pounds!
betty
Something going around.
ReplyDeleteWe got to church okay, but the first "worship" song was a hideous video full of flashing lights and shouting and banging. It actually made me nauseous to look at it. I don't care if the young people jumping up and down were shouting, "Praise the Lord" or not, it was totally inappropriate for a morning worship service for a congregation that included no, I repeat, NO teenagers, whatsoever.
So. Before worship (which is usually my favorite part of church) even begins, I'm in a temper. Greaaat. It was downhill from there, let me tell you. The pastor managed to push several buttons during his message--he said that people get osteoporosis because they're resentful and that elderly people who walk bent over, leaning on a cane, are like that because they spent their life harboring unforgiveness-, for instance--so I stewed thru the message, too. Yeah. No attitude problem here. nah-uh. sighhh.
Then, the restaurant we went to...well, to put it briefly, I've never had such bad service. It took the waitress THREE trips to get all of the parts of our order on the table. (As in, I got a sald, but no dressing. Our drinks showed up after the food and took two trips for all three drinks to appear.)
My day was topped off by Bill and I having a very loud disagreement (Okay. I was loud, because he forgot that we had plans Monday and sigh. never mind. You probably get the idea at the "he forgot" part. :(
And did I mention that I woke up at 3AM this morning and couldn't go back to sleep? And that my 5 year old granddaughter slept over?
Yeah. Not a good day.
As far as the diet. Sugar-free and frankenfood is a trap that has sabotaged many diets. Good for you for spotting it now. :)
