Learning to eat only when hungry

I feel so much better now that I am only eating when hungry and  not just due to stress, habit, or its that time. Food also taste so much better, and you will over time get to your correct weight.

Where/how do we learn

While most everyone believes that their  school/college they went/go to is their education, really your education comes to you when you finally know how to learn and you continue learning your whole life.

My morning thoughts.

When things are not going the way you think they should set down and take note on what you have been doing. Most of the time you will see what you have been do wrong. And if you find nothing wrong with what you have been doing then it is time to make a change and try something different. 
Just something that came to me this morning while setting in the middle of the floor being loved my my little fury guys.

I saw the movie 'The Unbroken'

I went today and saw 'The Unbroken'. It is a great movie and what I found was that it did a great job of hitting the highlights of the book. If the movie covered the whole book I am guessing it would have had to be 10 to 15 hours long. Also the movie did a great job of showing what needed to be shown without the language that was in the book. I highly recommend to read the book then see the movie. You will be able to follow the movie much better.

Happy New Years.

What a wonderful weekend, and it is going to be a great week this week. Over the weekend we finally had our family Christmas, or at least Linda’s side of the family Christmas. Stephen cooked a wonderful Christmas meal of Beef Wellington. And we gave out our gives. I was so blessed to be given a wonderful Indy Jones that Stephen got me. And Linda got me a total surprise of a new Bose headset. And for everyone it was a wonderful time.  But today starts the needed chore of removing the Christmas decorations and the chore for me to lose the 25 pounds or so of extra weight that I added on over this last year. I am not sure why so much weight I did keep good records of my eating and I stayed within my calorie limits. I just believe that my body is changing and I now have to figure out what changes I have to make to my diet and I also have to get more walking and bike riding in.

Have a great year everyone and God Bless you all.

Oh yes this Year’s Bible Study is from Pocket bible’s One Year of the Devotions for Men. So far it is great and I will learn a lot this year. 

Just finished reading the Unbroken

After reading 'The Unbroken' I believe that I now understand why my dad never talked about the war. He was in Okinawa, at the last part of the war and at the time the a-bombs were dropped. The only thing I got out of him was that the ship he was on was taking the marines to Okinawa then the ship was to return to the states. But as the last boat load of Marines were being off loaded on Okinawa, the boat that my dad was piloting, the ship that brought them over was torpedoed and my dad was stuck on island until after the war was over. I know that he was manning a large gun and got a shell dropped on the top of his foot and was never able to wear normal shoes after that. I also know he was on Okinawa when they were doing everything possible to get the Japanese out of the caves.  And he was also there when they had to go to the caves to survive a Typhoon that hit the island but other than that he would never talk about what he saw or what he had to go through. Unbroken gave me a look into the war and the Japanese culture that I never new about. I did work for almost 12 years for a Japanese company and I came very good friends with some of the top Japanese managers and found them to be very hard working but also very fair. But they for the most part were very stand offish and did not talk much about their homeland. All that the one I made friends with would say is that they were ashamed of the way that the Japanese treated the POWs and they were very impressed in the way the Americans treated the Japanese POWs. 

From reading the Unbroken I can at least have a very small understanding of what our Marines, and soldiers, and POWs are going through after they return home, and I for the first time have a very small understanding of what PTSD really is. I can now also finally forgive two of my close friends that was in the Vietnam war that came home and killed themselves must have been going through. 

War is hell and I am so glad that I was spared from having to go into  combat. 

My New Years Resolution is very simple

I have to control my weight, but not 'DIET'. I have to enjoy what is left of my life to the fullest.
I will walk more and also ride my bike. I will pay attention to my wife more. I will read my Bible studies daily and I will enjoy my life.
