I've pondered many times in recent years, the amount of abuse I have put this old body through. I still continue to do so. I know that my body is a temple for the Holy Spirit and I'm trying to correct my bad habits.
I've noticed that more than ever, I'm eating quickly. Part of the problem is that the kids are a major distraction for me. If I sit with them at meals, they tend to hang all over me, take my cup, touch the food on my plate, play games with their forks, want croutons instead of eating their meat... that type of thing. so i'm constantly talking to them and trying to eat! i'm rushing big time! scarfing down food and i'm unaware that i've even had something good to eat.
so for breakfast and lunch, i'm going to have to either eat alone, or eat at the far end of the table. we have a little table. that way they can't reach me. hehe. if it's a real bad day with them and they aren't behaving, i'll have to put my plate aside, get them finished and finish my plate when they are down from the table.
but it's important i eat at the table, taking small bites and chewing them thoroughly. very important. it will help me tremendously.
next up... my scale has been broken for a few weeks. we are getting a new one with the next paycheck. i can't wait! i want to see i i've actually lost some weight!
i was a good girl and made some homemade turkey stock a while ago. it was in the freezer waiting for me. i made some yummy rice cooked in the stock. i love rice, and this made it taste so good! not to mention all the great vitamins in the stock! some may think i'm a goofball, but i'm new to the homemaking game. so making stock is cool and new to me. next time though, i have to remember to leave a 1/2" headspace for expansion when it freezes. haha! live and learn! sure do want to make more stock with the next turkey!
