challenge up to date

                                     Health Tip #58  Do all your eating at table.

1. Read the daily proclamation day and night- Done.  I forgot one day in the morning.  I mean to read it and then before I knew it, it was night time and I didn't read it.  I read it two times in a row for good measure.

2. Compliment someone each day and say nothing negative about anyone.  Monday was crazy busy and I did not compliment or give someone a gift. I didn't even realize it until Monday night.  
So I set out Tuesday to do double duty.  I complimented my daughter.  She is applying to IUSB.  She is a bit nervous about college and I told her how smart she is.  She is getting straight A's this year and is nervous about getting accepted.  She has nothing to worry about.
Tuesday I also complimented one of my customers.  She is doing great things for herself and I wanted her to know I noticed. 
Wednesday, I complimented a police officer.  I told her how much I appreciate what a great service she does for us.  Her work does not go unnoticed.  I thanked her for putting herself out there for us crazy laporte folk.
Thursday, I complimented Judy for doing such a great job with a our new computer system.  We had a new walk in client and she did everything and I stood back and watched.  She needed help with a few minor things but I know she is going to be a pro in no time!

I finally got pictures to work, yay!!!

 

 This was my steamed lunch today!  I had to have half a veggie burger because it had too much sodium. I made apple pie yesterday for my dad's 70th birthday (which was Monday but remember how crazy busy I said I was?) and I couldn't get it out of my mind!!  I took his pie to him, with it in the seat next to me, smelling up my car with all kinds of deliciousness.  I also made a pie for home. 

So instead of eating this-

 

 

I ate this-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Steamed apples. I cut up the apples and sprinkled with nutmeg and cinnamon.  Then I added a little peanut butter when it was steamed- because seriously, what doesn't taste better with peanut butter?!  It wasn't quite the same as apple pis but sure did help me with that craving.  I love the crust on the pie best :)

 

 

3. Stop eating BEFORE you are full. Follow the special body cleansing program- I am eating a vegan diet. I am only allowed to steam my food. No cooking on the stove or microwave.  Perfect!  See above.  My eating has been really good all week.  I have been craving coffee something awful though.  I can't stop thinking about it and smelling it.  Oh, prolly because everyone is drinking it around me!!  That's right, since I can't have it, neither can you!!

4. Do not get angry, curse or complain. Do not gossip about anyone  I got upset at my step son last night.  He lied to be about something.  He was afraid I would get mad at him for what he did so he lied but the lie is what upset me. . I didn't scream or yell, I asked him why he lied and told him not to lie to me ever.  It bothered me but I went into my room and turned on my audio bible.  Help God!

5.Give someone something material each day  I forgot on Monday.  Tuesday, I gave my friend Mandy some gluten free pretzels.  I know she doesn't get to eat many snacks because she must have gluten free.  She was tickled to get them.  Also Tuesday, I bought the Hershey bar to give to a homeless man standing at walmart but when I came out, he was gone.  So... Wednesday I gave a police officer a Hershey bar.  I flagged her down and walked up to the passenger window.  I told her I had something for her as I rummaging through my purse.  I found it and gave it to her while complimenting her for what she does for us.  She didn't want to accept it but I told her it was my random act of kindness.  After I walked away, I thought, that prolly didn't seem very safe to her.  Here I am rummaging through my purse...I have something for you......I prolly better not do that again, lol. 
Wednesday, I also gave my friend Belinda a container of her favorite gum.  She had told me one time that it was her absolute favorite so when I was out shopping I picked some up for her.  She was super excited. 
Today, I gave Annette a calendar she can use every year.  It is a desk calendar that flips over daily.  It is a spiritual calendar.  I knew Annette would appreciate it.  She is a great friend and supporter of my blog (thanks Annette)

6.  Pray and read scripture for your age in minutes daily.- I pray for 11 minutes in the morning and 11 minutes at night. I also listen to an audio bible for 11 minutes in the morning and 11 at night. Done

7. Drink half my weight in ounces of water.- done I have to drink 72 ounces of water. Done, I think I am drinking about 100 ounces a day.

8. If you are doing any of these stop. Stop flirting, having affairs, committing fornication, looking at pornography, or communicating with a person who is not your spouse. Nope

9. Wash my face before bed. This isn't part of the challenge but I made it part. I need to get back into the habit! Not done yet but will do in a few
