Tails from the scales Weel #4

Tales_sept_button_square


193 starting

191 week one

191 week two (at 189 on Friday)

193 week three

190 week four (189 peeked at me)

This week is a tuning point for me. I am on the other side of the Injections. This hamster got her bearing back!!!! I worked all day yesterday and NO No NO Joint pain !!!!!!!!!!!!! My wheels are a' spinning. Today is the second day I have the privilege of doing the exercise at physical therapy. I have to go slow, but Monday I used the leg press. I felt the muscles in my bum for the first time. I am so excited! I feel like I am being given another chance at an active life.
The eating for your blood type has made me regular and my abdomen is shrinking. Cupcakes made it o my mouth as did a lot of candy corns yet I still lost. I am getting used to the types of foods the "eating for your blood type" suggest and my energy is way up. No coffee now at all for four weeks and the green tea gives me a little boost. The b12 sub linguals are awesome. My energy is now the normal. When I used to need a cup of coffee it was like the energy came from a cup. Now my energy is coming by avoiding the foods that are on the avoids list. I made a dish with turmeric and lamb and rice. Turmeric is a natural anti inflammatory. I felt great! after eating it. The foods are now my medicine. No Pain killers all weed not even Tylenol.

Congratulations on the loss!! If 189 peeked at me I would have called it 189 1/2 for week 4!! And you sound like you are feeling so healthy.

What exercise do they have you doing in physical therapy? We'll have to compare.

you won 't like this Donetta but I read somewhere that eating chilli helps lose weight.
On a serious note black and green tea without milk is helpful
I want to lose 10 pounds too.

Thank you everyone for all your great kindness and encouragement.

Spell check did the turmeric spelling thing have not had a chance to check the actual spelling of it. It is good stuff for pain from inflammation though.

Cayenne pepper is great for "o" inflammation and digestion. It is use in place of chili pepper. Cumin is the partner to the cayenne and lends wonderful aroma and taste.Green tea has become a staple now that I am off of Coffee. It is great for me. Type "o" benefit from green tea. It is my new caffeine boost.

Amrita said...

Please tell me what is type 'o ' inflammation? I have arthritis...rhematoid, better now.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
