Blessings

I am doing a sort of thinking exercise this week or so. Join in and add some thoughts. This is the time of year when one does tend to count blessings and be thankful.
you are blessed if you woke up this morning with more health than illness
more blessed than those won't survive the day.

You are blessed if you have never experienced the danger of battle
the loneliness of imprisonment or the agony of torture.
Just think of this war that is still going on and the solders who are dying every day for our freedom. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers every day.

IF these thoughts are touching you, please respond.

Strengths

YES, gang we all have them even tough I think most humans feel like What ME!!!
Take some time to think about what these strengths might be. Sometimes I think it is easier to see what is wrong with ourselves as well as others. Are you a negative person? seeing to mush of the bad instead of the good. Get off that band wagon..you will feel so much better.
Too much negative effects your attitude, your opinions of yourself and others. Let's try to keep a healthy, positive attitude of the things we like about ourselves and about the things we can change. USe your strengths and special knacks to improve yourself and learn new task.
This new powerful attitude will bring around the the lesser task and bring them along the road to fulfillment.
Lets go girls and guys. Positive POWERFUL strengths "HERE WE COME"

Good Things

I wonder if we as a shuman race have forgotten how to be appreciative to what God has provided for us! What do you think?
Are you kind of blinded by the past when looking at good in front of us? Take a look around you..your life, your goals, your future. Build on the good that you are doing in your life. When we focus on the bad things that happen, or the slips we do, life just passing by. Look for the silver and you might even find the gold.
We need to live each dday not dwell on the past failures or mistales.
Go for life!!

Sleep loss Weight loss

From sone articles that I have been reading, it seems that the nights I am roaming around not sleeping are also affecdting my ability to loose these last 10 lbs. Vewry interesting Right?
There seems to be a hormone that is rrleased when a person is stressed. When we do not sleep this hormone continues to relase making us feel hungry.
When we do not sleep, we do not get the deep sleep that our bodies need for the growth which in turn efffects the ability to lose fat. What---have to do some more research on this.
Loss of sleep leads to increased storage of fats at a higher level therefore increasing the blood sugar. Not good people.
Lack of sleep--lack of energy--lack of burning calories!!

Now can your understand WHY we need SLEEEEP?
Here are a few Do's that I have found to help me:
Eat healthy
Exercise but not right before bed
Pre-bedtime rituals..you did them with your own children or they where done for you when child warm bath,calm music, the bedtime story??
Peaceful sleep area
Sleep instead of squeezing more into your day

Eat if hungry but a very light snack. The goal ofcourse is to sleep and reduce the stress that comes with not sleeping.
