Hello, Friends.
I had a nice visit with my Mom
who lives at the nursing home this morning and she is doing well, thank the Lord. She had spent 3 days drawing a pretty picture (her hobby) to give to me. I am so blessed.

Hubby,
who works outside will be home from work shortly. I cooked a big pot of chicken and rice after I got back home today and boiled some eggs to make egg salad for s/w's, too.
I've been good so far with no popcorn. However, last nite I got into mints and had a lot of them and a banana and even ice cream and this was after I had 'finished' eating for the day and had stopped at 1700 calories. My added calories were about 500. I've got to get control over this nite-time snacking. It really adds calories and is so unnecessary.
.............................
Hope you are having a good day. Remember, every day with Jesus is a good day.
Love, Maria

Hello to you!
Finally got 'unstuck' from being stuck at Popcorn Island...I was there for days....
So, I am taking a little break here at home and gonna refigure out this getting to goal.
Got so wrapped up in popcorn that I lost my momentum... But I'm 'good to go' for now...
Thanks for all your comments/suggestions to my last post...They are all very apprectiated and I thought about each one. They were all real good suggestions. I did buy some microwave popcorn to have for a back up plan so I don't go back to popcorn popped in a pot with a lot of oil, but my plan for now is 'Just Say No'...to popcorn...When I simply get back to where I was a few days ago, I'll be glad.

Hope you are having a good day...

Hello to you.
I have currently arrived at a POPCORN ISLAND and when I tried to row away, I got STUCK! There's nothing to eat here but POPCORN! Wouldn't be so bad but it is the high-fat kind! WHY does it TASTE SO GOOD???
But I am NOT giving up...(beginning tomorrow)....

I am a big fan of the microwaveable SINGLE serve in butter flavor bc it's good and tasty - Orville redenbachers or however it's spelled is very tasty and doesn't taste fake - I don't buy brands like pop secret or smart pop ... but the Orville's single serve I still like only 200 cal per serving and then the only way to have more isnyou have to pop another bag which I don't find very convenient .....meaning I don't usually go to pop another bag ever ...and usualy I make the popcorn as my carbs like an addition to a meal so the one serving bag is more than enough !
Personally I love popcorn too!

Good morning to you!
The snow is melting over here but we've still got some on the ground and I am glad the snow is melting, but we still got ice, too so we have to be very careful when going outside.
Very cold temps continue and we were at about 10 degrees fahrenheit this morning.
Loving this coffee ...Very warming...
Scale still saying 152 today...guess I'll sit at that number a while. Still not pushing it but I am being 'mindful' of how many calories per day I have and try not to go over 1700 calories per day...

Good morning to you! It is a very cold morning here in SC. 8 degrees fahrenheit, with wind chill -2. This is the coldest it has been in a very, very long time here.
We've still got snow and ice on the ground from day before yesterday but I am hoping to get out today and go check on Mama at the nursing home and do some other things as well.
Enjoying my coffee for now...
Still holding on to 153... Not in a mood to 'push' it for now... Happy I am where I am for the time being. Just focusing on not getting any higher.

I'm also not in a mood to push either...trying to stay moderate and healthy this Winter cold season.
A better replacement is strawberries :( or more watery fruits like watermelon) I feel bad :( but that's my honest opinion

Hello to you!
We DID get snow and ice here in SC yesterday. We have a good covering of white snow and ice on both decks and on the lawns.
So I am staying inside with my coffee...
I am cooking a big pot of homemade chili today, have some?

Happy winter morning to you....

Hope you are staying warm on this very cold day. In SC this morning, around 7:30 a.m. est, it is 20 degrees fahrenheit and wind chill 12 and we are expecting SNOW here today...(altho not much)...
Having a nice, warm mug of coffee...Have one with me? I have mine setting beside me on a warmer to keep it very warm to drink.
I am holding steady at 153. So many temptations to avoid, especially at nite when I love to snack. But I've been careful and most of all, PRAYING, which has helped a lot.
So happy our DD Webmaster got this site going again. I thought it was gone, as I'd checked it off and on and then on New Year's Day, wa-la! here it was back! Thank you, DD Webmaster for all you do, keeping this site going. We appreciate it!
Hope you all here at DD and readers who may not be posting but are reading, are having a blessed day.

Hello, Friends.
Have a cup of coffee?
I have just gotten back weightwise to where I was at last post, after I had a 2 nite popcorn binge that threw me off a couple of pounds since then...Well let me tell you, there is POWER in PRAYER! And the Lord helped me resist going any further with my carb-binge after I prayed and asked Him to help me after those couple of nites popcorn-binges. What had happened was I had just gotten a big craving for home-popped popcorn with lots of OIL that I popped the popcorn in and it was 2 heavenly popcorn nites, what can I say??? (Smile!)

Mom who lives at the nursing home is doing well, thank the Lord. I spent this morning with her and took her outside a while and helped her out of her wheelchair and onto an outside bench where she preferred to sit. Looking at Mama sitting on that bench and I was sitting in her wheelchair in front of her, she looked completely well to me, like I was looking at her in a totally different dimension than I am accustomed to looking at Mama in, like looking at her through happy lenses. She was so happy and carefree and talkative and I took her photo while we sat out there in the nice warm sunshine for a good little while, before I helped her back into her wheelchair when she said she was ready to go back to her room and I wheeled her back to her room. It was a wonderful visit that she and I had together. I usually visit her 3 or 4 times a week.

Hubby, is home for a 3-day Christmas weekend. Yayyyy! We are happy about that. He and I plan to cook Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve together. My Brother, who lives nearby will be coming to eat with us on Christmas Day. Not sure about Mama coming, yet. Depends on lots of factors with her. Anyway, Hubby and I plan on roasting a big turkey in the oven and fixing lots of trimmings to go with it. Brother is supplying dessert...pies and ice cream... I will probably be 'off-track' again with overeating and eating carbs, like with the popcorn but will get back to where I am now probably sometime within a few days after Christmas (hopefully). I'm not trying to lose any weight right now, just maintain where I am for the time being. I've lost 12 pounds from my highest weight this year, so I am going to try to be 'somewhat careful' to hold on to that through this holiday.
Have you got all your Christmas shopping done? We do and I'm glad. We stayed within our budget. We are very frugal. Christmas is all about the Reason for the season, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, God's greatest gift to the world. But a lot of people get tied up in materialism. Nothing wrong with gift-giving, showing love to others...all for that. Hope you are having a good evening.

PS Done with the shopping, gotta start wrapping! Gifts are minimal since we're on a budget and downsizing to get ready to move. I prefer it this way.

I don't know why but the evening snacking took over here for a few days too....I'm over it now thankfully...and that is a relief....your chicken and rice sounds so good...my grandma used to make that...and her house smelled so good. Have a nice evening.

Are you hungry when you snack At night ?
graindart on 01/16/2018:
My late night snacking is my main problem right now. It tends to start as soon as dinner is over. I'm not usually hungry at all. Last night I was actually feeling uncomfortably stuffed after dinner. But as soon as dinner was over I started obsessing over sugar-free Jello and popcorn. I ended up eating 4 or 5 cups of the Jello and 1 bag of the popcorn. It only added 125 calories to the day and was still within budget, but I was eating it on an already full tummy which made me even more uncomfortable by bedtime. I suppose the immediate answer for me would be to just get rid of the Jello and popcorn, but I'd just find something else to replace it with. Right now I'm just making sure my nightly snacking doesn't cause me to go over my daily calorie budget. If it starts getting close to my limit, I'll have to make a conscious change.
