Good morning, Friends. Having a cup of coffee 
over here. Have some?
I am apparently on a PLATEAU...weight today is 161.6...so still in the 161's...although looking for the 150's SOON...I have already 'pre-celebrated' getting to 158.anything.... Hubby and I took a one day road trip this past Saturday. He and I went to a place called Swan Lake Iris Gardens, which we've visited before but has been quite some time...it was a beautiful day, sunny, in the uppers 60's...a good day to walk around the lake, which we did as we walked holding hands as we usually do...and we enjoyed the beautiful brightly colored azaleas...red, pink peach, the lilac-purple lilies, the many different kinds and colors of swans, the turtles sunning themselves around the water, all of it. Very interesting about the swans, to me, was a pair that were black with red bills and eyes and I learned from reading the info on the grounds there that they came from Australia.
....................................
Yesterday, I visited my Mom at the nursing home and was busy with her, mostly running errands and helping her, etc. and then after I got back home, I was busy making Hubby his breakfast homemade biscuits with sausage in them (he carries 2 to a pack to work each morning for his breakfast).
.......................................
Sunday, we three (Hubby, Daughter, and I) went to Sunday School and preaching at church and then visited Mom and her roommate at the nursing home and after that, we came home and had a nice lunch together, which I had stayed up late cooking Saturday nite after Hubby and I had gotten home from Swan Lake Iris Gardens, Sumter, S.C. I roasted a large chicken in the oven and made homemade dressing and fixed yellow rice and all I had to do was make slaw and fix creamed corn to go with this after we got home Sunday from church and visiting Mom and her roommate.
.........................................
So, today is another day, a cloudy day and we are supposed to get rain, I think, according to weather channel on tv but only the Lord knows.
Hope you have a blessed day in the Lord. Remember...every day with the Lord is a GOOD day.
Love, Maria

Hello to you and hope you are having a blessed day.
Weight today is 161.6...current bmi is 24.6......I am still 'rowing' toward island 140...I'm almost out of the 160's...When I get to 158.anything, I think I shall reward myself with a little treat...it will not be anything expensive, maybe just go out to eat with my Hubby...but it will be a celebration...cause at that weight, I don't feel 'fat'... (I also don't feel 'slim', either...)...
I've been working a LOTTTTT...in the yards this week and yesterday I 'bout overdid it...It was close to 90 degrees fahrenheit here and I was out in the sun raking and bagging leaves and cleaning out the flower beds and I started feeling weak, like I needed to go inside and cool off, which I did after Hubby and I together finished getting part of the work that I was hoping to complete yesterday done.
Today I baked a birthday cake for a Friend, who is really family to us and took it to her...we have been neighbors for many years and they are the BEST neighbors anyone could have. We love them all very much and are thankful to the Lord that we live close together.
.....................................................
Please take good care of yourself. Remember...every day with the LORD is a good day!

Good morning, Friends. Having a cup of coffee over here. Have some?
It is a sunny morning here in South Carolina supposed to get into the upper 70's fahrenheit, according to weather channel on tv.
Weight is 162.6 today, so up a little. I've been doing a LOT of work in the yard this week...cleaning out flower beds, raking and bagging leaves, etc. It is beginning to look much better outside. Meanwhile, the azaleas are blooming (we have red, peach, and pink of varying shades), the winter pansies are still in full bloom, one of the red rose bushes has a pretty red rose on it near the front steps...the lillies are up and will probably bloom soon, too. I relocated some of them to other places...they multiply and come up every year. Hubby and Friend got a nice big wood shed built out back this past Saturday...We got a new wood stove this past winter and we needed the shed to store wood for it.
....................................
I am planning on working in the yards and flower gardens again today, as well as go visit Mom and her roommate.

Hope you have a blessed day in the Lord. Every day with the Lord is a GOOD day.

Today is Good Friday, the day we Christians think about what our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ did for us in giving His life for us on the cross, shedding his precious blood for the forgiveness of our sins so that through Him and only through Him, we have the gift of eternal life. To get saved and become a Christian, a person repents of their sins, asks Jesus' forgiveness, believes on Jesus and lives for Him according to His Holy Word, the Bible. I thank Him for saving me, for forgiving me of all my sins and giving me the gift of eternal life through Him. Thank You, Jesus! We love You! We praise You! We adore You!
...............................................
Good morning, Friends. Having a cup of coffee over here. Have some?
I tried online to find a church that is having Good Friday services at noon today that I could attend but didn't find any around this area. Sometimes local churches have them that I have attended in the past. I am glad I am a Christian and I hope you are, too.
It is a sunny morning here in South Carolina supposed to get into the mid 80's fahrenheit, according to weather channel on tv.
I weighed 162.0 on the scale this morning, so down a little more.

I am planning to go visit Mom at the nursing home in a little while.

Remember... Every day with the Lord is a GOOD day and Jesus is coming back again...it could even be today...are you ready?

Good morning, everyone!
Hope you are doing well this morning. It is another beautiful SUNNY day here in South Carolina and supposed to get up to mid 70's degrees fahrenheit again as yesterday, according to the weather channel on tv...
Having cup of coffee...have a cup? I'm drinking mine black today, no sugar, no creamer. I've already had breakfast...scrambled egg with cheese and turkey sausage.
Weight is down a little more...163.4...
Yesterday was a LOT of work in the flower gardens and yard. Cleaning out leaves from flower beds, taking up the old discolored red mulch from them and raking up big piles of leaves in the front yard that have fallen this year. I got a lot done before Hubby came home from work, then after he got home, we worked together and he took off lots of bags of leaves and old mulch to the trash dumpster a couple miles away.
I also went to the grocery store yesterday..
Later, I went to check on Mom, after I got a call that she wanted me to come to the nursing home because she was not feeling well and I talked with her nurse and also the head nurse, who didn't think she in great distress...and asked them to give her something to help her, which I waited and didn't leave until they did. The head nurse said she would order an exray just to make sure Mom ok. I didn't leave until Mom said she was feeling better and that she wanted to go to sleep.
Came back home, cooked Hubby's and Daughter's suppers and after Hubby came home and ate, Hubby and I worked a long time in the yard together and there is still MUCH to be done.

Plans today are to work in the flower gardens. I need to clean out leaves, take up the old discolored red mulch, and put fresh new red mulch down. Also rake the leaves up in the yard that have fallen this year and take them off after putting them in giant leaf bags (this will take some days of work). (We have lots of trees.)
After this, is a need to go to the grocery store...
Later I want to get my bike 
out of Hubby's building out back and get the tires aired up so I can begin riding it again. I am so happy it is springtime and warm and the flowers are blooming and so colorful and pretty to look at and smell the sweet fragrances. We have our annual Springtime Flower Festival coming up next week at the local Farmers Market not far from here that I am hoping to attend with Hubby.

Good morning, Friends.
It is a cloudy nice day here in South Carolina and we are to get to the low 60's Fahrenheit this afternoon. It is currently in the mid 40's with rain almost here.
I am at 164.0 on the scale this morning, bmi 24.9, which supposedly puts me back in the 'normal' weight zone. Wow...I am no longer overweight??? My weight is now 'normal' again? Also, I have a wonderful neighbor/friend that is like family to me and she has been coming over off and on, checking my b/p and it has come down some, so hopefully when I go back to the doctor next week, it will be normal and not high as it was a couple weeks or so ago when I was told I'd have to come back for my bp to be checked again and see the doctor concerning it.
I was careful yesterday, had about 1300-1400 cals and I've been walking a lot lately. This morning I am wearing very comfortably another pair of jeans that had been too small to wear for a long time previously.

Hope you are having a blessed day in the Lord.

This is the day that we Christians commemorate as the day that Jesus entered Jerusalem, knowing he would be giving His life and shedding His Blood on the cross for you and for me, to save us from our sins so that we who repent and believe on Him can have eternal life. WHAT LOVE He has for us! Blessed be His Name forever.

Hubby
and Daughter and I went to church this morning. It was a wonderful service and good fellowship with our Brothers and Sisters in the Lord there.
Afterwards, we three ate at a buffet restaurant together and then visited Mom
who was sleepy so we didn't stay long. We made sure she had what she needed before we left the nursing home...
........................................
The scale weighed me at 164.6 this morning.

Hope you are having a good day in the Lord.
Love, Maria
Your post is so uplifting, I loved it! Thank you and hope you have a great day!

The weightwise news is I am back to 164.6 on the scale this morning. I was careful yesterday, had about 1450 cals and walked a lot.

Plateaus are maddening aren't they? But it's better than gaining. Lovely photos.
puddles on 04/14/2015:
I have started looking at plateau as the time my body needs to readjust to the previous weight loss. It seems every time I have a plateau the week that it breaks I have an extremely high loss of weight. Our body as a way of telling us things sometimes. Have a great day.

Hope your rain was a welcome sight! We had a little and are supposed to get more in the next couple of days.
Enjoy your day!
