I’m doing pretty well with ww. It’s week two. I lost 4 lbs the first week, and three the second… for a grand total of 7 pounds lost! I am pretty happy with the results considering I had dinner with Mendy at Logan’s last Friday night. I only ate half my food (the rest was breakfast), and then Saturday we got gyros for dinner… I’m doing well with no cokes, I have figured out a formula for sweet tea that is low sugar but still sweet enough that I like drinking it. I make a gallon of tea and add a rounded 1/3 c. of splenda and a sparse 1/3 of real sugar. It’s not bad for that much tea. Cutting sugar out of my diet has been the biggest change. I have switched to sugarless gum and haven’t been making desserts. Mom and dad came down and brought dinner the other night (chicken enchiladas - yum) and cheesecake! I had a small piece and stayed within my points for the day. I have a basket on top of the fridge with 100 cal snacks. I have just bought several different types I like (my fav right now is the cheetos asteroids) and I reach in and get one for a quick 2 point snack. Sometimes I just try a piece of sugarless gum when I want something. It’s been working so far. I’m buying Julie’s treadmill and it should be here late today (or maybe tomorrow ;o). I’m so excited to be able to walk while here in the mornings with Iz. I finally have an ipod shuffle so I can listen to tunes while she watches noggin.

Well, that’s everything you could want to know and more about my weight loss happenings… if you have any questions ask away and I’ll put the answers at the bottom of this post.

breakfast today… 1 egg + 2 egg whites scrambled with pinch of parm cheese 3 points
1 piece ww toast with 1 tsp butter 2 points
1 cup hot green tea with splenda 0 points

Lunch… lean cuisine 5 points
cracker jacks 2 points
tea 1 point

Whitney asked if I’d recommend weight watchers? Absolutely Whitney. I think it is really easy to follow and after you do it a while you know what to eat to stay within your points allowed per day.

Tigi’s S Factor smoothing Lusterizer defrizzer & detamer!!! It’s wonderful!

So… Emelia just came in the den and asked (while carrying the bottle), “What’s this for?”

I replied, “for smoothing your hair.”

She frowned and said, “do you have anything for tangles?”

To which I replied, “Yes. A brush.”

What’s the best day of your life?
Was it the day your married … gave birth… ????
Was it a spiritual occasion?

Whew what a day… I planned to do this earlier in the morning. It’s 5:20 p.m. and I’m just getting online. You know, I never think things through. Like this post for example, I have no idea right off hand what my best day was. I think it’s coming. I don’t think I have lived my best day because the older I get and the more I grow in my relationship with God, the better life gets. Don’t get me wrong, marrying Matt was a very happy day, as was the births of each of my four children and special spiritual days have been especially joyful too. But I reserve the right to wait expectantly for my bestest day! When it comes, I’ll be sure to let you know!

Have you ever thought about Experiencing Psi — Spiritual Consciousness?
Since the dawn of time humankind has tried to put reality into a box. The classification of external matters is a process of individual growth towards a greater understanding. Yet there is another part within each person that requires a different form of growth. This part contains almost mysterious possibilities, and brings a person to experience ‘paranormal’ states of being. The focus of this site is simple: expand self-consciousness. Through inspiration and reflection it becomes possible to fathom a world that is less rigid and more lateral.

Light is the greatest of gifts, and in the true nature of the metaphor - presence of mind - a light in the darkness, is the height of insight. Presence of mind towards another individual’s thoughts, feelings, and internal states, and allowing for those states to be - without letting judgments and expectations skew their value - is the essence of what people often understand to be truth, love, and inner balance.

To get in flow with the magical and mystical elements of the unknown parts of this reality one ought to be playfully vulnerable, allowing themselves to step out of the box of even the scientific method of evaluation - to experience the all in its fullness. You might find psi involves weird or complex topics, and this site does aim to explore such topics. However it attempts to do so using the most objective and enjoyable means to delve into ideas that often appear ‘mind-boggling’ at surface value. This site is also here for all to feel welcome at. It is not a for select group of people, it is here as a place for all individuals who are open to discovering inner awareness.
