Hello to you!

Pretty, sunny day in the 80's here.

I've been back and forth to the nursing home, visiting Mom as well as I took her out to lunch at the Cracker Barrel Restaurant, my treat, this past Thursday. We had the turkey, dressing, and gravy and sweet potato suffle with cornbread and biscuits and tea. After we ate, we looked in the store part of the restaurant where they already have up Christmas displays and Mom bought me a pretty Christmas mug, red, with holly trim around the edges and she bought herself a pretty snowman soft figurine that is now set on her shelf by her window, which is by her bed.

Today's Weight: 152.2
Highest Weight: 205.0
Struggling just to hold on to where I'm at, nevermind get to 150.4.

Hello to you!

It is a pretty, warm, sunny morning here in S. C.


I visited a sleepy Mom yesterday at the nursing home and sat with her as she resumed her afternoon nap I'd awakened her from.

Today's plan, Lord willing, is go to a nearby church (not the one we attend) and buy 2 fish dinner boxes (they are cooking and selling fish dinners today) for Hubby and me. He is working today so his will be for his supper. Mine will be either lunch or supper, not sure which one yet.

....................

Today's Weight: 152.0. (Yep, already working on the 150.4 within 6 more days, Lord willing. Still doing extra walking and calories counting, as usual.)
Highest Weight: 205.0. (In 1998...and went down 50 lbs. within a year to 155.0.)

Hope you are having a blessed day in the Lord!

Hello to you!

Hubby and I are hoping to, Lord willing, go on a mountain vacation next month to celebrate our upcoming 20th wedding anniversary.

......................

Today's weight: 152.4
Highest weight (1998): 205.0
Still wearing size 8 jeans but would like to fit into them even more comfy so goal is to be at 150.4 within 7 days. That should be easy enough. Have still been doing extra walking on treadmill as well as pushing Mom in her wheelchair on our weekly outings when taking her shopping/and or/out to lunch.

Hope you are having a blessed day in the Lord!

Hello to you!

Today I went and got Mom and we went to Cracker Barrel, her treat, for lunch. She is doing well, thank the Lord.

.........................
Highest Weight (1998): 205.0 (Weighed 155.0 within a year.)

Okay, up 1 and yes, I DID consume 3500 extra calories since last posting BUT I've also been walking more, too.
I'm still down 15 from highest weight this year.

Hello to you.

Looks like we've got rain on the way. This will probably help cool down the high-90's temps we South Carolinians have been having lately.

I went and got Mom from the nursing home yesterday and took her shopping, which is what she chose to do on our weekly outing. She got 8 tops and a pair of pants. We had a nice time together.

.................
Highest Weight: 205.0
Today's Weight: 151.4
I have been doing a lot of walking on the treadmill as well as other places and keeping a close tally on calories during the day. I am down 16 from my highest weight earlier this year. I can now wear ALL my size 8 100% cotton Levi's jeans, a 7 year goal attained. Although the new scale I bought recently registers my weight at 151.4, Mom's old scale I was using before this one registers my weight at 147 (highest on it earlier this year was 163).

.................

Hope you are having a blessed day in the Lord!
Love, Maria
