Hello, Friends...How are you doing today? I hope you are having a good day.

Hubby and I are doing okay. He finds lots of things to keep busy doing outside.
Mama at the nursing home...I am asking for your prayers for her...She was not feeling well this morning.

Weight is 158 this morning, so 'maintaining' but I think will be lower tomorrow, cause been eating less sweets.
............................................
Hope you are having a blessed day in the Lord.
Love, Maria
Progress as of today: 47 lbs lost so far, only 8 lbs to go!
Glad to hear that your husband is staying busy.
Keep working away at the weight. It will come down, just takes persistence and discipline.

Happy new year to you...
Hope you are all having a blessed day. I left early and visited Mama at her window this morning and she was doing well.
I have gained 7 pounds in a year, was 151 and today 158, which is not bad but could be a little lower. So, I have a new goal weight, one that is easier to accomplish and it is 150. If I get to this weight, I will be very happy to maintain it. Meanwhile, I am happy I do not weigh more than I do because I have eaten a lot of snacks over the past year and have not been very disciplined with my diet. My current bmi is 24. I am 5 feet 8 inches tall. If I get to 150, my bmi will be 22.8. My original goal 23 years ago when I weighed 205 was to weigh between 150 to 160 pounds. When I attained that, I wanted to go a little lower and made it 155 and attained that. Then 150 and attained that. I never was quite satisfied but I think I will be this time with 150. I know I will and if I cannot fit into my very old size 8 100% cotton Levis jeans that do not stretch at 150, so be it.
Keep smiling!

It is cold here in SC this morning, low 30's.
Found out yesterday that a former neighbor, very young, passed yesterday. They moved away a few years ago and we have not been in touch. Please pray for her family.
I visited Mama at her window yesterday and she is doing well.
Hubby and I just tended the animals outside earlier this morning...we have 2 cats, 8 hens and 3 roosters. Very cold outside to be cleaning and refilling their water containers. We have not been getting as many eggs with this cold weather...whereas we'd been getting 6 to 8 a day, now it is usually only 2 or 3.
Hope you all have a good day and stay warm.
Love, Maria
Hope you have a good 2021 as well.
Same temp here - about 33.
oh interesting about the eggs...seems everything is slower in the cold months. it's been so cold by you! same here, usually quite cold in the 30s most days here.
Happy New Year!
But I'm glad you still get to see your mom. COVID has hit the assisted living place my mother in law lives. We are very concerned for her. I'm glad the facility let us know, though. I'm sure they are doing their best, just as with your mom's home, too, to protect the residents. (((hugs)))

Merry Christmas!
Wishing you all a very happy Christmas! And a happy new year!!!
It has been a while since I have posted and I have been reading a lot of your posts and decided that today would be a good day to do a post! I see that you all have been doing WONDERFUL!!! As for this girl, she fell off the diet wagon again, no surprise. Smile! Almost a couple months ago, and three pounds lighter, I had begun a new diet to get to a new goal weight by Christmas Day, which, as you can tell, I didn't succeed. Smile! So, time to get the canoe rowing again!
I visited Mama at her window today at her nursing home. She is doing about the same. I am happy that she is not in the hospital as she was on Christmas Day last year. I visit her at her window most days. It was very cold today here in South Carolina, in the low 30's F when I stood outside her window telling her Merry Christmas and I love you.
Hubby is doing well. He is retired for the third and last time. We enjoy spending time together.
Hope you all have a good evening.
Love, Maria

Hello to you...
Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving! So many things to be thankful to the Lord for. Number one with me is knowing that I am saved, that I belong to Jesus Christ and through what He did for me and everyone else who believes in Him, in shedding His blood and dying on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, I and other believers have the gift of eternal life. To me, this is the greatest blessing of all.
Hope you are having a good day.

Hello to you...
Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow!
153 today...So okay with that. Actually, thankful to the Lord for being alive. Lots of people take things for granted but we shouldn't. We think we will be happy if things are a certain way instead of thanking God for each and every day.
Hope you are having a good day.

Hello to you...
So...I fell off the diet wagon again...weight is 154.0 this morning. It was actually a little more than this the other day but I waited for it to come back down a little before posting again. What happened was the usual...dieting with reduced calories...then cravings kick in...then I give in to sweets....always happens...
Hope you are having a good day.

Eating less will do it! That’s what I do. Emphasis on vegetables. Difficult because I like bread and chocolates
Yes, veggies! I bought a cabbage recently and plan to cook it soon. Fresh sweet potatoes are good, too.
Jacky82020 on 01/07/2021:
I always eat cabbage! Stir fry it with onions and a little Pam Love sweet potatoes. Very nutritious
Haven't tried cooking it with onions. Sounds delicious! I love onions. Thanks for the idea.
Jacky82020 on 01/07/2021:
Try it! Really good!
