Super Bowl goodies

Paula Deen has the right idea with many "tapas", little appetisers so you can have a little of this and a little of that! Cresent rolls with cooked sausage that has been drained and cream cheese spread inside then rolled up and cooked is one of my favorites. Tortilla chips with layered dip is also a good snack. I like all the goodies on my dip with refried beans, grated cheese, salsa, lettuce finely chopped, olives topped with guacamole and sour cream. With the hot foods I like to serve some cool, crisp things like apples and celery. What are your favorites?

One of my treasures

Every home has a sense of the people that live there and I'm enjoying playing with the new vinyl lettering that is so popular these days. In my Sunday School class room we just put up the words "Do Hard Things" after a book that we are reading written by two young teenage men that talks about our low expectations for our children and how that affects us. We are also going to put up some vinyl verses so if you have any ideas leave a comment. One I'm thinking of is the one that goes...I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.

swimming

Did you know that there are swim gloves that are webbed and give greater resistence to your workout. If I'm going to spend the time to work out/swim I'd like to get the greatest benefit from it! Anyone know of a good website to learn water aerobic moves that target the tummy area?

A little weight watcher poem
When you have eaten too much and cant write it down when you feel like the biggest failure in town when you want to give up just because you gave in and forget all about being healthy and thin so, WHAT! You went over your points a bit its your next move that counts.... so don’t you quit.It’s a monment of truth, its an attitude change, Its learning the skills to get you back in the game. Its telling yourself, “You’ve done great until now. You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow.” Its part of the journey toward reaching your goal. You’re still going to make it, just stay in control. To stumble and fall is not a disgrace, if you summon the will to get back in the race. But, often the struggler’s, when losing their grip, just throws in the towel and continues to slip. And learn too late after the damage is done, that the race wasn’t over and they still could have won. Lifestyle changes can be awarkard and slow, but facing each challenge will help you grow. Success is failure turned inside out, the silver tint in a cloud of doubt. When you are pushing to the brink, just refuse to submit. If you bite it you write it... And don’t you quit.Author unknown
