Morning Coffee Cafe: OH I AM HEADING TOWARDS A SUPER DIET!!!

As A Woman Of Faith in Jesus

As a woman of Faith I Believe ~~
The Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, inerrant Word of God.
There is one God, eternally existent in being Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He has revealed Himself in creation, history and Jesus Christ.
God's creation of the world and human kind with humanity's rebellion and subsequent depravity.
In the person and work of Jesus Christ, including His deity, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His true humanity, His miracles,
His substitutionary death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to Heaven, and His personal return in power and glory.
That for salvation of the lost, sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ as one's Only Savior.
In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life and to grow in the knowledge of God and Christian obedience.
In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost ~~ the saved unto the resurrection of life and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
In the spiritual unity of Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Blessing of Friendships

The blessing it is to have a friend to whom one can speak fearlessly on any subject; with whom one's deepest as well as one's most foolish thoughts come out simply and safely. Oh, the comfort ~~ the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person ~~ having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.

PEOPLE ARE ONLY STRANGERS UNTIL THEY START TO TALK

When it comes to making friends, many of us could take a lesson from children. Remember how easy it was back then to run up to a new classmate on the playground, share your peanut butter & jelly sandwich and soon become best friends? We as Adults are often so caught up with our own self-image and fears of rejection that simply introducing ourselves to someone new can be daunting.
“It can be hard for adults to form new friendships because we’re too concerned with ourselves and what others think of us. We also fear change,” ~~ Time to set out for new times.
So ~~ What's up with you?

It is morning somewhere ~~ But coffee all the time!

I am so excited you have stopped by to visit The Morning Coffee Cafe! Friends just helping you and me brew up a life of talks, friendships, laughs and perhaps some sadness and tears!
Let me share bit about my story and how the idea for The Morning Coffee Cafe came to be. Actually morning is morning some where all around the world; so let's not stick a time on it. I guess our mornings are whenever we pop our eyes open to meet the day and some call their nights....their morning. It is always a time to get together and sip some coffee while a talk about what in life is happening.
My enjoyment for coffee and inspirational coffee breaks goes back to my childhood. It was my Grandma and then my mother who first introduced me to the uplifting effects of sharing coffee together. OH MAN! Mom's baking fresh bread always meant a nice warm slice with coffee poured over it and sugar. My favorite part was waiting for that wonderful fresh bread to cool; just enought to be able to cut slices, while brewing a fresh pot of coffee so we all could enjoy a little coffee break together. Even at our young ages, someone in the house would pour me my very own cup, with cream of the top of the milk and sugar, that would soon be poured over the entire piece of that fresh and tasty bread. Looking back, sharing these times laid the foundation for learning how to savor life by taking time for 'Anytime Coffee Breaks'.
I'm all grown up now, and it's no surprise that I continue to love sharing coffee and a goodie with friends and family. In fact, I have developed a tradition for morning coffee breaks for a short respite from the stress and busyness of life, sharing coffee with anyone that is around to share a moment; to rejuvenate ourselves and lift each other up with support, some laughs and needed encouragement.
Now that the kids are grown ~~ once in awhile one of them drop by and ....yep~~ brew up a fresh pot of coffee. My husband has even after 34 years started drinking coffee.
Believe me when I tell you~~ it is possible to live a life you love, filled to the brim, with fulfillment, happiness and joy. Coffee with cream and sugar or just plain old black.
I invite you to come and share some time. It's FREE, just make time to do it! It can be fun and nice meeting others along the way~~ it's an opportunity to help you while you help someone else brew up a life they love!
Here's tipping my cup to you!

OH I AM HEADING TOWARDS A SUPER DIET!!!

WOW!!!! That is about all I can say!
I had my husband go get my nurse uniforms, scrubs and other clothes that I wore to work 5 years ago before i got hurt so that I could mail them to one of our girls that is a CNA now.
I totally got depressed when I pulled the clothes out of the box to wash them. It probably didn't help that while I was staring at them in disbelief that my husband pops out with..."where did that skinny girl go!"
I held them up to myself and then with still disbelief...I said, "that is it! If you want goodies and all kinds of junk, then eat it in your truck!"
I am still trying to get it into my head that those clothes I wore 5 years ago are mine.
Size 14-16 and now I wear a sz. 24.
So, I will enjoy the remainder of this year, I will eat the Christmas cookies, drink a hot buttered rum and share the candies and hot cocoas and then on the 1st of January...it is on!!!

I have been on diets and some work...some do not.
The one that I am going to go on and stay with it for the 1st 50 pounds will be the Atkins diet. That one is a good one and I lose fat and lose it fast.
Then I will switch to Ally and mostly fruits and vegs.
By that time my stomach and mind will find themselves again and I will stay on a well-balanced diet.
Hoping and praying that by the following December 2010; I will be back into at least a 16.

Goodness!!! Surprizing how fast and easy it is to gain weight and as many pictures that we tear up, how many cakes we throw out to the chickens and dogs, how many times we scream and throw a pair of pants across a room, or open the door...screaming that the scale is a rotten liar...it doesn't change the fact that we are just FAT!!!!

My excuses are running out.
1st I was hurt and not mobile for 2 years.
2nd I deserved to pamper my self.
There are no 3rds and so ons......
what is on is a major diet starting January 1st.

So far; so good.
See my other blog....a lifestyle not a diet....it is at the top of this page. Just click on it and it takes you to the blog.
I have been on this way of eating now for a week. I started it on the first of January. I love the oopsie recipe and it is so easy to make. I use them for the replacement of bread and they truly are filling. Just 1 carb and just plain good.
I can already feel that I am losing inches. THIS IS A WONDERFUL WAY TO GO ABOUT IT!!
