Good Saturday Morning!  It's a brisk 35 degrees.

Working through my usual Saturday morning routine of late:
  • Coffee
  • Make-up
  • Go for blood work
  • Breakfast
  • Make breakfast for DH 😘
  • Head to local thrift store
Maybe some explanation is in order.

I love coffee.  I love wearing make-up. I love breakfast. I LOVE my wonderful husband!!

So that may not have been what warranted an explanation.  I had some routine blood work done a couple months ago that showed some abnormality - so now I have to get it rechecked every couple of weeks to make sure it is decreasing (which it is) and not increasing.  Given the results of the last couple tests, I am hopeful that it will be normal today.  I have not worried about this - I gave it to God and he has brought healing!  

There is a thrift store near by that is run by a local non-profit.  Last year I started volunteering to work there a couple Saturdays a month.  I had to cut it back due to other commitments - but now I work from 10 - noon 1 or 2 Saturdays a month.  

 I will post the continuing story that I started in my last post, today, I just wanted to catch up with my daily life and tell you a little about myself.  I looked at my profile and realized that I started blogging...although I was never very prolific at it...11 years ago!  I am such a different person now then I was then!  In a good way!  I want to explore those changes, what brought them on, and how I worked through them. It is my goal to do the work that Jesus calls us to in Matthew 28:19

19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

On that Biblical note - I will sign off - time to go to 'work'.

Have a blessed day!

Flowers...springtime...sunshine!!!

I got up this morning and took a walk. We went out for a light breakfast before heading home.  I have been doing my flower gardening in stages.  I love having flowers, but I am too lazy to do a lot of gardening so I did it in steps: Cut back dead growth from last year Attacked the weed-vine that invades everything in our small back yard. Attacked the weed - vine again...and again...finally found some of its roots and dug them out...that was no small task Put down some bags of garden soil...more exercise...they were heavy Put up a wooden border to keep the dirt away from the grass Today I finally planted my Iris', lilies, and  Aquilegia Took a break to write my blog I want my flower garden to be all Perennials so each year I will have a beautiful display without much work.  The hardest part will be keeping the invading weeds out!! Time for a shower!! Stay healthy and enjoy the weather!!

13 Weeks!!

It has been 13 weeks since I started this challenge to myself...here I am down 20 pounds...that is better than a pound a week!!! I started losing even before New Years Day!! I feel so much better...today had two bonuses 1. I hit the 20 pound lost mark 2. SOMEONE NOTICED THAT I HAVE LOST WEIGHT!!!! Wow, what a feeling. I was at work, spent some time talking to a woman who I don't see very often and when there was no one else around she said "you're doing good losing weight...I was checking it out.. you look good" I thanked her and told her how much it meant to me to have her say it. She is heavy, also and I think that those of us in that club really want to make sure that we recognize each other for our successes. It made my day! I have a meeting on Thursday and I am hoping that I can find one of my smaller skirts that fits so I can wear it...what a great feeling that will be! I am already fitting into some of my smaller clothes. My big pants are fairly new so I am ...

Let's Recap...

Now seems like a good time to go back and look at my goals to see how I am doing. The last set of short term goals I set were these: 1. Eat a more balanced diet (less carbs, more protein and...silly as it sounds...more fat) 2. Stick to between 1300 and 1400 calories a day 3. No Lattes for a week... put $2.00 in my goal jar for every day I don't drink a Latte How have I done? 1. I really make an effort to eat protein with each meal...sometimes that is a handfull of nuts...I added them to a salad the other day and it was very good 2. Doing well here, I seldom go below 1300 and although I do go over 1400 some days, I rarly go above 1500, my top end goal is 1560 so I am eating a good amount of food 3. I have had one or two non-fat lattes since I started this goal...just like diet soda, the less I have them, the less I want them. I will review my other goals tomorrow!
