Live Well Wednesday & 12 Prayers of Christmas

I want to start this blog out by mentioning something that I heard on the radio this morning. I listen to our local Christian station in the mornings as I am getting dressed and preparing for my day. Right now they are playing all Christmas all the time. It's awsome to hear all the varieties of the well known Christmas carols along with some new songs that I have never heard before.

Well this morning they had a lady on the show and she was talking about how she wants to bless as many people as she possibly can during the Christmas season. Financially it is impossible. So she came up with an idea that she calls 12 Prayers of Christmas. Here's how it goes. You make a list of 12 people or families and you pray for them between December 14th and December 25th....the true 12 days of Christmas. All the instructions are at http://www.thetwelveprayersofchristmas.com/ if you are interested. Prayer is one of the greatest gifts that you can give someone.

This week I only lost 1/2 pound. Well its better than nothing right? Honestly I am surprised that I didn't gain. We had 3 people in our office who had birthdays last week. So of course we had birthday cake....duh! It had real icing too. Not that whimpy butter cream or whipped stuff....real sugar icing that sticks to your hips!!! Yeah I had a couple of pieces. Needless to say that cottage cheese factory that has set up shop on my behind has had something to work with! I guess what kept me from gaining was this horrible cold that took away my taste buds for 3 days. Whats the point in eating if you can't taste anything??? This weeks goals are the same as last weeks. Drink my water, eat fruit and vegetables, get my daily dosage of dairy, and lean protein. We'll see what next week brings.
