Just A Few  Random Thoughts Today

I woke up this morning looking out my window.  I opened my eyes to see a beautiful reddish pink sky. There is an old saying that instantly came to my mind.  Whether it be an old wives tale I do not know.  The saying goes like this and may be commonly known by many. 

"Red in the morning sailors warning.  Red at night sailors delight." 

My thoughts  are that if we see the red sky in the morning we should be alerted to bad weather  approaching.   

Now as I look out my window I see a beautiful sun shining day and I'm telling myself  I  need to get out and walk and try avoiding any more extra fluff .    After our Thanksgiving meal  yesterday.  I have decided to start my New Year's resolution early.

I've done some extra setting lately because of sewing and I don't want the fluff  to take me over. 

  You know,  life at my age has taught me many things and one of them is about losing weight and gaining it back.  You start out as an hour glass. Then one day you figure out you're a pear.  Then you lose weight and regain your hour glass shape, then you gain back and you're a pear  again. This process goes on like this .. hour glass, pear, hour glass, pear, hour glass, pear,  PUMPKIN.    For the first time you're a  pumpkin.  Well just to let you know I'm very close to the pumpkin stage and it's very hard to change after you get there. 

This was the closest illustration I could think of if I were to compare myself to a pumpkin.  Especially when I'm all dressed up in orange to go to a Massillon Tiger Game.  If I were to go to a game on Halloween night- all  I'd have to do is put on orange and it's an instant costume.... A  PUMPKIN. 

Someone said to me just tonight winning happens with little gains... and my response was sometimes  losing comes with little gains too.  If it's gaining weight back a little bit at a time -  In this case I would rather lose than gain.

Just A Little Note About My Life

Weight Gain

In life we find all kinds of different people and sometimes people gain weight easier than someone else.  My husband and I both were heavy when we were children.  I was the only child in my family that had a weight problem.  I was teased unmercifully as an overweight child.  My weight gain started around eight years old.  I was still wearing the patch over one eye but was wearing bigger rimmed glasses at that time.   As I got older into my teens I began to blossom into an attractive young lady.  I no longer had to wear my glasses as often.

The funny thing about weight is when someone gains weight it settles down in different spots than someone else.  Sometimes the body can become very unevenly proportioned.  For instance, some get a big bottom, someone else might have a very large bosom, or both for that matter.  Some may have big cheeks, like a chipmunk or a double chin. Some may have big arms while having very skinny legs, or big limbs altogether. Some may grow specifically in the belly area and still be tiny everywhere else, but it's simply  the way they look when they have weight gain.  

Some people can lose weight easier than other people.  Some can exercise and work very hard and still have trouble downsizing.  Some have health problems or  ankle problems that prevent running and exercising effectively .  Some just simply like to eat and get sick if they don't eat.  I happen to become forgetful and can't think straight so I have to eat.  I just need to eat wisely.

My family and I are working on losing weight.  It's just mustering up a real determination.  So if my stomach is ever a little bigger than usual.  It's only because I ate too much ice cream or ate that whopper cowboy burger at the zoo along with a very large fry that tasted extremely good.   Which would mean I'm not doing enough crunches and needing to cut back on my lunches, needing to get thinner by cutting back on dinner and snacking is a no no at night.

 Hebrews 12:1 ¶ Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
