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.)
Today's Weight: 152.4

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

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

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

Hubby is back to work today. While off work a few days, he and I took Mom out to lunch and shopping the other day. Hubby and I enjoyed sort if a 'mini-vacation' together, traveling to the next town over and walking around, etc.

Hope you are having a blessed day in the Lord!

Hello to you!

We are still having very warm (90's) weather here. Sunshine/Afternoon storms this week.

..........................
Highest Weight: 205.0
Today's Weight: 152.8

Still doing more protein, as in having it with most meals. Still counting calories. Finally let go of the nitetime food binges. Do NOT miss them, either, as protein is helping me stay feeling full.

Hubby is doing well. So is Mom...I visit her a lot...took her to the optimologist (sp?) the other day and she got nice, new eyeglasses, thanks to the Lord.

Hope you are having a blessed day in the Lord!

Hello to you!

This has been a busy summer thus far. Hope all is well with you.

Highest Weight: 205.0

Recently, Hubby was off work a few days and we, with the Lord's help, installed a new back door with locks and chains, replacing the original door that was broken in on a while back. It took us 2 days to do the work, but was cheaper than hiring someone to install the door and hardware.

Mom is doing pretty well...still visiting her as well as taking her out to lunch, etc.

Hope you have a blessed day in the Lord!
