Day by Dana

Ok, I have a separate post, but it is "in the works" and I kept getting stopped from writing it, so...  I don't have much to write, at least of substance. I fell down earlier this week with the health change and have had a heck of a time picking it back up.  Funny thing?  I haven't gained all my weight back, and in fact lost a couple more pounds!  So, weird.  The other benefit of eating poorly after having been so good is that you can really see what certain things do to your body.  Sugar and bread are evil for me.  Stomach goes nuts on the stuff! The Lord is really dealing with me about coming back home, in the emotional sense.  Wrapping my arms around my home again, both physically, and emotionally.  It's trippy, but good, and that's all I have about that for now. Ok, and strongholds.  I think that we all have a heck of a lot more strongholds in our life than we think.  Anyway, two of mine are smoking, even though I quit, and food, specifically sugar.  At least, … [Read more...]

Sunday I determined that the computer was not going to be turned on much, if at all.  I succeeded in keeping it off until about 6pm. The entire day was spent in the kitchen.  Cleaning.  And gutting.  And cleaning some more. It is something that I have not done in at least a couple years.  Just taking the time to love my home.  Pulling out the old.  Sorting.  Cleaning.  Getting rid of the extra.  Then, putting it all back again, but differently. It seems like I have entered a time where I am letting go of a lot of the garbage that has tied me down for some time.  To make way for a new thing.  A better thing. Anyway.  Spices.  They are annoying little freaks to try and organize.  Do you have a spice cabinet?  Ugh.  How many times have you bought doubles/triples of a spice because you didn't realize you had it.  Or, you go to grab one container, and five fall out.  It was a cabinet that I hated the most. But, I figured out a solution.  I had an extra … [Read more...]

Just wanted to post real quick - I'm not feeling well, and have a million things to do.  That just figures. We have seen (some) favor in the insurance debacle, but still pursuing some of the details. I've done really well with my health.  For lunch I had a pickle wrap thing - take a piece of romaine lettuce, slather on some cream cheese, add meat of choice, and a pickle spear.  Wrap and enjoy :-)  It was a nice change from salad.  Tonight I did pizza - the kids got normal pizza, and I did a low carb version that is actually 1.5 net carbs a serving.  Suh-WEET! Umm - apparently my timing with this isn't the best - I had wanted to fix a bunch of goodies for Sunday, but that isn't going to work out.  And, here I had hope to have delicious food while we had a rousing game of Scrabble.  WHAT?!  Not like there is a foosball game or anything good on TV.  Seriously, though - I'm excited about the commercials (BUELLER BABY!) and Madonna - hopefully she does better than the … [Read more...]
