giving encouragement
Tuesday, December 16th 2008
Through out this Holiday season I am reminded that there is one free gift that doesn't cost us anything but a little time, the gift of encouragement. Yesterday, I saw a young girl at the gym who was in need of some. She was quite a bit over weight and apparently was not accustomed to doing any exercise. Her Father was there trying to get her on the exercise bike and attempting to get her motivated to keep pushing herself that one more minute. I picked up on the conversation with them and was ab...on gaurd for the holidays

More than ever the holidays have caused me to be tempted because my mind is going like a gerbil in a wheel...round and round. Seriously, I have felt more tempted this year than last year when I seemed to have less of an emotional struggle to stay on course. Maybe it is because I am no longer on insulin and not tied down as much to the daily grind of counting carbs as strictly as I had to last year.

I pretty much have all my gifts lined up or bought. My daughter and I are putting together some photos from the wedding for my mother and mother in law for their presents along with a few nick nacks. My Mom has Alzteimers ...Mexican Style Peppers

I tried this recipe out from Diabetic Cooking yesterday. I used red peppers instead of green and my husband and I really enjoyed the meal with Vigo's Mexican Rice an a salad. The meal freezes well and doesn't take much time to prepare. I used frozen corn that I set out to thaw for thirty min. because I like the crunchiness of white and yellow corn frozen over canned. I also used soy cheese on my half and regular cheese on my husband's half since I am dairy free. Mine came out good.The rec...
