No Weirdness...

So I have to put the No Weirdness rule into effect. We are moving to Utah in two weeks.. and I am a little crazed. It's going to be a bit before I can be back to posting thoughts. So I"ll jump back in where we left off... and there will be No Weirdness! Talk to you then...

Tell me...

O.K. all you know it alls... give me your best/favorite public blog out there. Let's do a little sharing.

Slow Fade...

I watched this video the other day on one of my "know it all blogs", Wifeboat. It touched me deeply... if there is one thing I know about, it is that Satan is real. I don't think we can ever consider ourselves in a safe place. We must guard our desires and thoughts at all times.

I liked this video because it talks about a slow fade... how things just slip in, if we let them. Little thoughts lead to bigger thoughts. I hope and pray my little thoughts will lead me to bigger more positive thoughts, a  more personal relationship with my Heavenly Father and a more loving relationship with my husband. Not the other way. So here it is:

Fat and happy.

So here's a little secret... I'm fat.

Yep, been fat for about my whole life. LOL! Some how I found Pilot, who loves me just the way I am and that has been a wonderful marvelous blessing.

If there is a diet out there I've tried it! I've often wondered why it's so hard for me? Why is it that so many people find weight manageable but I am stuck in this body that I just can't change or manage? I mean, I can change it if I hard core quit eating... (working out doesn't seem to do the trick, less food works best for me) But then once I lose the weight it normally just comes back on in just a few months. I've often thought there has to be a different way. Maybe the way I think? The way I eat? (besides to much) : )

And then a friend of mine lent me this book called I can make you thin by Paul Mckenna. It's the first diet book that I've read that talks about the mental aspect of being overweight versus the here's the next best diet to try book. It talks about how overweight people tend to not know when they are full, and that they are to busy trying to eat things that are "healthy" that they are ignoring the signals from their bodies. So here are four golden rules from that book:

1. Eat when you're hungry.
2. Eat what you actually want.
3. Eat consciously and enjoy each mouthful.
4. Stop when you think you're full.

I know, I know simple huh. But I guess you can tell you are overweight when you read those four golden rules and think "wow, really?" (if you are thin you probably think that all the time)

Of course this book has a whole bunch of great ideas... I'm just enjoying reading about the mental approach to losing weight.... It's about time I look at that aspect of it. Anyways... we'll see what tomorrow brings... just another thought from a confused know it all.

Homeschool

WOW! I'm really going to do it. Cuddlebug is 6 years old and I'm NOT enrolling him in school! I have to be crazy! Not that I think public school is evil, it's just that I'm willing, so why not. Why not keep him from learning the world's version of normal. Why not teach him the importance of family, the importance of Christ in our life, the importance of learning... all from the safety and security of our home. I don't think there is a wrong way to do it. (public or home) I just think that this is the right way for us, for now, for this moment. Of course I'm just a confused know it all so we will see how the next year goes... how the year after that goes, etc. But I wouldn't be honest unless I mentioned that I'm nervous, overwhelmed and positive that somehow we will make it. Funny huh? Been reading some great books but that is for another post... I'll keep you posted.

Who am I?

A mother to two boys Cuddlebug, age 6 and MrBusy, Age 2. Married to Pilot, Age 34 for the last 8 years. This is my rambling blog of how life is full of confused know it all moments. One day it works the next it doesn't.
