My quiet time and place (belated funday blog)

I must apologize for being 2 days late with my Funday blog.

Right now my Quiettime and place does not exist.  We are in the process of moving and everything is out of place.

my quiet place is my sewing studio.  Hubby barely comes in there and he can tell by my facial expression if he is allow to enter.   Please do not let the name of the room confuse you.  When I need to not hear or see anyone I go into this room.  Sometimes to work on a project but mostly to sit and think. 

In the quiet space of just thinking have taken the time to delve deep into self pity,  immerse my self with blessings that I have received.  I think of the children and grandchildren I will never have and remember all the thing my nieces and I have done together and will do as they grow. 

In this quiet space I pray for friend and family going through major problems and pray for the understanding needed to help them.

Sometime I just veg out and other time I am working like a fiend!  

Mostly I am just happy that I have this space to call my own to share or be selfish with.  

I recently visited a friend in KY and her quiet place is a closet.  She was able to put a computer desk in this space  it has a plant on the next to her laptop and her chair is covered with a beautiful print panel of fabric and it looks quiet cozy and nice.

Water !

I am remember being a child and saying to my mother ” I ‘m hungry”  Her response was one of 2;  1 dinner is almost ready or 2 drink some water.

As a child I would drink the water and still be hungry.  So drinking water was not a good solution in my mind, however I have changed my mind recently.

The weight management plan and I a following has explained that sometime we misinterpret  thirst for hunger.  Therefore drink some water. 

  This is not of amazing new concept or some new idea that I just found out about.  Repetition the mother of retention.  I am just trying to keep this information so that it becomes second nature to me.

What I will do is follow the direction of my parents.  As a child I was given a tall glass of water to drink before dinner, before a  snack and in place of a snack and sometimes in place of a meal (usually this water was hot).  I had to stand there in front of my father/mother and  drink all the water and hand  the empty glass to them.

So tomorrow I will return to drinking water as for today I will finish my Mountain Dew and finish the night with my sweet tea in the refrigerator.

Pray for me!

The hip tap.

My hips are very wide and even after I lose weight I truly believe my hips are still going to be very wide.

My problem is the everyone thinks that they are available for tapping. 

Here is an example.  I work in a clinic and there are counter everywhere and the space between them is what you walk through to go to the other side where the printer and mail is located.  Often that area gets congested.  A friend, yes she is a kind person but when we happened to be in the walk through at the same time she tapped my hip twice and she walked by. 

We could make it throught the space with no contact and I have complete this action lots of time. 

Please understand all my life i have had these extension at my side and people are drawn to them.  If I am standing and my sister needs to get by she does not say ” hey move”, or ” Excuse me” she taps my hip and then pushes me out of the way.    I have 3 sisters and they all do the same thing.  Needless to say this is one of the main reason I have “no touchy” policy.

Usually when I get dress I am always wearing shirts that cover the hips or jackets or sweaters that cover the hips.  Today is no exception but I took my jacket off and within 5 minutes!  I got the hip tap!

I do not tap little people on the head and since I stand 5 feet 9 inches tall in my barefeet  with heels on I am usually the tallest woman in the area.  How would they like it if I tapped them on the head everytime I passed them. Or even just occasionally a little tap on the head. 

 I do not see a preganet woman and think that touching her belly is a requirement  in order to walk by her.  But I see lots of people who think that way!  Also see and angry pregnanet woman who is  about to snap out on people as well.

It is diffcult enough getting the right type of clothes that just fit my hips properly now I have to make them invisible !

FUN-MONDAY my body

I have decided to join in the fun.  Sayre Smiles is asking What is the favorite part of your body?

My hands because of all the things that I am able to accomplish with them.  Drawing, sewing,crocheting, painting, Embroidery and of course cooking.  They look their best when my nails are painted a muted tan color and my nails grow beautifully with out acrylic overlay so I am very happy with my hands! Also they are the only part of my body that has not gained weight!

My legs used to be my favorite body part but with the yo-yo weight thing my legs have marks they did not have before.  I am going to start wearing Tights all the time.

286.9 reversal of fortune.

286.9  this is what flashed on the screen after stepping on the scale here at work.   The clothes I have on probably weigh about 3 maybe 4 lbs so that means that my weight minus these items should be 282.9!

Just what I was aiming for more weight!  

I had to stop doing the Taebo Boot Camp that just caused more pain to my knee and I had to stop taking the medicine because it just cause a major flare up my acid reflux.  I may have a bleeding ulcer because of it.  It never really completely stopped the pain in the knee anyway.

I really have to watch what I eat and I must stop eating at least 4 to 5 hours before going to bed otherwise I will have pain in my stomach and my knee all night.

This is truly a reversal of fortune for me.  All I really wanted to do is improve my health and therefore have a better outlook on my lifespan.  Now I think dying early might be better.  At least I will not be in pain.

Breakfast  Oatmeal with a tablespoon of brown sugar and some raisins and a 20 oz cup to Island Mango and Peach flavored White tea, with 3 tablespoons of sugar.

I have no idea what lunch will be.  Probably 2 hardboiled eggs and water.
