Genesis 2:18-25 (NIV)


18 The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.

But for Adam[a] no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs[b] and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib[c] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

23 The man said,

“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.”

24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

25 Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

FIVE MORE MINUTES
==================

While at the park one day, a woman sat down next to a man on a
bench near a playground.

"That's my son over there," she said, pointing to a little boy
in a red sweater who was gliding down the slide.

"He's a fine looking boy," the man said.
"That's my son on the swing in the blue sweater."

Then, looking at his watch, he called to his son,
"What do you say we go, Todd?"

Todd pleaded, "Just five more minutes, Dad. Please?

Just five more minutes." The man nodded and Todd continued to
swing to his heart's content.

Minutes passed and the father stood and called again to his son.
"Time to go now?"

Again Todd pleaded, "Five more minutes, Dad.
Just five more minutes."

The man smiled and said, "O.K."

"My, you certainly are a patient father," the woman responded.

The man smiled and then said, "My older son Tommy was killed by
a drunk driver last year while he was riding his bike near
here. I never spent much time with Tommy and now I'd give
anything for just five more minutes with him. I've vowed not to
make the same mistake with Todd.

He thinks he has five more minutes to swing.

The truth is, I get five more minutes to watch him play."


Life is all about making priorities, what are your priorities?

Give someone you love five more minutes of your time today.

February 1, 2012~ The Big Weigh-in Day!

Well I am holding my own here in my struggles for getting slim! I was on the scales this morning, first thing! I hope to loose 10-15 lbs. between now and the first week of July! I am going to do this and feel a lot better.

Weight Loss Update~

We are getting very close to the 1st. day of February. I am going to began a new way of eating again. I have been ill with my back. It is Lower Lumbar pain that I have been having for much too long now! The problem also causes me to have a lot of leg pain and feet and leg cramps during the day time and when I am sleeping and turn over they cramp. I call them "Charlie Horses." They will literally get you up out of bed to get them from cramping, walking around helps. I visited my family doctor last Monday and he ordered an MRI for my back. I went yesterday "Tuesday" for the test. I will go to my doctor Monday, January 30, 2012. Hopefully I can get some relief from the pain. He told me that I may be able to get the Epidural Shots for pain. I will probably have to wait to get an appointment for the Specialist to do this for me. We will just have to wait and and see what can be done! I do nor want back surgery!!
In the meantime I am on a low dose of prednisone to help with the discomfort.

So I will be starting a weight loss diet next Monday. That is the January 30, 2012. I have been reading up on the book that I have called "The Makers Diet" By a well known writer. It is a lot like the diet that is called The Flat Belly Diet. My husband and I both lost 25 Lbs. each two years ago on it. It has a lemon, ginger and cucumber drink in it that I learned to like. I did not like it at first. I beleave we should all drink a full 8 oz. glass or bottle of water before our meals. It not only helps to fill us up, it also aids in digestion of our food!

I am having a 50 year High School Reunion this year. It may be in July. So, that gives me around five month to loos some much needed pounds. I like to loose my weight with eating healthier and cutting back on the foods that keep me fatter. That word is even hard to write down as well as it is to say.
I still believe that the new motto that I found last year, or maybe it was two years ago. Anyway is this Eat to live, not live to Eat! I am posting a picture of us at Christmas. I weigh 170 Lbs now. I have not gained much of mine back, but I have not lost any more eather!

January 2012 Update for our Weight Loss Trials

This was taken on September 10,2011.

I thought that I might have forgotten to update my weight loss blog!

So, here it is for the month of October!

We are still enjoying our eating very much. We are both just now getting over a serious sinus infection and a very sour throat. It is some king of virus that is going around.
Charles got it first and shared it with me. He told me that he has gained some of his weight back since he is not going fishing now. You know that we can come up with so many excuses for not loosing or gaing our weight back. I am basically staying right at the same aroung 158-160.

We are gong to the city tomorrow with friends so that means we will be eating out again. This is to celebrate Charles' 68th birthday!
