Good morning, Friends. Having a cup of coffee...
...have a cup?
It is a beautiful, sunny morning here in SC...a good day to work in the flower gardens...
Please pray for a Brother in the Lord/part of our family who has gone to the hospital. He is our Assistant Pastor at church. Please pray for healing for Him.
..................................
Lots of flowers are beginning to bloom here. Hubby 
just recently bought me a beautiful pink hanging flower that is in full bloom by the front door steps and the winter pansies are still in full bloom as well.
Weight is up a little...I weigh 165.8 this morning....I've been good but I haven't been 'perfect'...Having reached a high of 172.2 earlier this year, this is still an improvement thus far....
I am still working on getting blood pressure down...eating less salty foods...trying to lose weight...not letting what negative things I hear stress me out...gotta go to the doctor in couple weeks or so to have bp checked again and take it from there if need be but I am believing it will be fine and Hubby is, too...
Hope you've been having a blessed day.
Love, Maria
Progress as of today: 39.2 lbs lost so far, only 25.8 lbs to go!

Good afternoon, Friends.
It has been a pretty, sunny, warm afternoon.
Weight is down a little...I weigh 164.6....bmi info says: Your BMI is 25, indicating your weight is in the Overweight category for adults of your height. I have to weigh no more than 164.0 to get down to 'normal' weight it says...

Hope you've been having a blessed day.

Good afternon, Friends.
We are having a RAINY day here in SC today and chilly...50's Fahrenheit.
Well...today has been a good 'eating' day...I have eaten well but not gone overboard today...and I think that when I weigh tomorrow I may be down another pound at least. Hubby made the remark to me that he knows "You haven't really been trying" (to lose weight...)... And he, of course is very right..My effort has been mainly in the exercise (walking) department....so today, I've put more effort in my not going overboard eating...I had a good breakfast and a good supper and that is it for food for today.
..........................
Hoping you are having a blessed day.
Love, Maria
BTW, I'll put up a couple of short links on BP on my next entry--tomorrow I hope.
Have a great evening!

Good morning, Friends.
Another very beautiful morning here in S.C....sunny...birds singing lovely songs in the trees...supposed to get up into the 80's today.
Well...scale has finally moved and showing improvement, down -1...I weigh 165.4 this morning. Although I believe it should be actually lower, I'll take it. Sure takes a LOT of work to be down just one.
Still walking every day.
..........................
Every day with the Lord is a GOOD DAY!

Hello to you.
It is a sunny, warm, beautiful day here in South Carolina...
The weightwise news is I am stilll at 166.4 this morning...but since I've been walking every day since I got the news last week my b/p was up the second time and I will have to go back in 3 weeks concerning it, my clothing is def fitting looser and a pair of jeans I've not been able to wear for probably over a year, I tried on the morning and...THEY FIT!....

Hope you are having a blessed day in the Lord.

It is a rainy day here in South Carolina...
The weightwise news is I am now at 166.4 this morning...a little improvement...
Hubby took me back to the doctor Thursday, after having taken me to urgent care Monday nite, for my ear...and lo and behold my b/p was up both times...so now I have to go back to the doctor in 3 weeks to see if it is still up and if it is, for the doctor to let me know what he thinks is best to do for it...
In the meantime, I've decided to take ACTION...which means PRAYING to the Lord, asking for his help to get it back to normal and keep it there with his help and not have to go on b/p meds...also...get my weight down, which the doctor said might help...but he also said sometimes it is genetics causing it...wow...most, if not about all of my family have high b/p or either are on meds for it...also I plan to exercise...Hubby and I walked about 2 hours today...and I need to get my sodium intake under control, which has been high, lately, as I've been eating very salty foods a lot. I read online also that to lower b/p, limit or get rid of alcohol intake, which I do not drink alcohol, so that doesn't need to be addressed. Also reduce stress level. So...Lord willing, there's a plan, with His help.

Hello to you.
It is a pretty day here in South Carolina and we are to get into the 70's Fahrenheit this afternoon and it is already warm outside in the 60's. Springtime is right around the corner and flowers (yellow daffodills are already blooming near the front steps) will be blooming...
The weightwise news is I am now at 168.4 this morning, which I somehow gained 4 after getting down to 164.4 recently. The good news is I got up to 172.2 and had to fight to get out of the 170's and get back into the 160's. Sweets again...need I say more?
Anyway, I don't do an entry every day, but most days I do read here at DD...so don't think I haven't been 'here'...smile...

Good afternoon, Friends.
Well, Hubby's one week vacation ended yesterday. We enjoyed each other's company during our
STAY-CATION at home.
Weight is up slightly, and will do an update very soon, Lord willing.
Hope you have a blessed day in the Lord.
Love, Maria
Have a nice evening!

Good morning, my dear Friends.
We are having SNOW here in South Carolina today. Although I know there are those of you, who are ready for snow to be gone, I must say that we are soooooooo EXCITED over the BEAUTY of it! Just watching it come down, enjoying it. We have about an inch of it so far this morning. We don't get much snow, if any, each year here in S.C., so when we do it is a really BIG DEAL! YAHOOOOOOOO! It is wonderful!
Having a cup of coffee this morning...have a cup with me?
.....Hubby is home and he and I are INSIDE where it is warm.. He is on vacation (we are doing a STAYcation this time) this week and we are happily cozy inside our warm home...He and I are just relaxing.... He and I had a big breakfast together...I cooked a pot of grits and also cooked sausage, eggs and toast for us. We sat at the kitchen table and had our breakfast early. So now we are working on a meal that I am cooking for our lunch and supper combined....I baked a large pan of fresh homemade biscuits a little while ago and am also cooking a big pot of lima beans to go with STEAKS.....yum, yum!
Stay warm...
Love, Maria

RYC: I'm glad you recovered from that 2012 hitch you mentioned. Amazing what the body can do and not do for us sometimes.
Have a great week!

Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; and he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. Acts 3: 19-21
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12
If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 14:15
