John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Good evening to you! It was another pretty, warm, sunny day here in S.C....in the 70's fahrenheit. I did a little shopping this morning and went to the gym and walked a mile. I've been on a plateau for a few days, but no wonder...I haven't reduced calories much...today was about 1600 calories or so. But I have been faithful in walking at the gym every day this week so far...
This afternoon I spent some time outside on the back deck...I started to grill out, but changed my mind as it got windy.
Anyway, guess I'll go read entries...have a nice night and remember...Jesus loves ya and so do I!
Love, Maria (smile!)

Hello everybody! It has been a very warm day today here in South Carolina...with the birds singing in the trees...what a lovely day!
I walked about 1/2 mile today at the gym and worked out about 30 minutes in the back yard, raking leaves. It was so pretty outside, I almost decided to have a cook out on the back deck but decided to do it another day...it got up to about 70 degrees fahrenheit today.
I'm so inspired by the writings of some of the entries here that I've managed to get down a little already. Today I've been 'mostly' good. I stayed away from ice cream, anyway.
Well, going to read some entries...remember Jesus loves ya and so do I!
Love, Maria (smile!) P.S. Above weight is a guess that has been added in April 2006.

Hello everybody!
It is raining here in S.C. Hope you're all doing well!
The birds were singing in the trees this morning when it began raining. I love to hear them sing! They each have different songs they sing and I think that just makes their music that much more interesting!
I'm up in weight. Junk foods and overeating. No excuses. I don't wear jeans very often anymore, because I couldn't fit into my largest ones and even after I went to the thrift stores and got some larger, then they too, became too snug to wear. So, I've mostly been wearing jogging pants and capri sets (with elasticized waists). I'd like to get down to within a few pounds of where I was when I first got on here years ago. (Mid-150's.) But that means discipline and I've gotten used to not exercising, eating sweets every day, and overeating not only at buffets Hubby takes me out to, but even here at home, too. I could make excuses...they would seem very valid to me, but I won't. So, I'm back on here, hoping for encouragement, I guess and looking for motivation. When you're used to going to bed a lot of nights with a large bag of popcorn and candy to go with it after having eaten sweets during the day, it is a habit that needs correcting.
So....I hope to hear from you...have a good evening and remember...Jesus loves ya and so do I!
Love, Maria (smile!)
so even though you may not want to watch the carbs.. you can get those.. :O)..
good luck sweetie, and I am here for ya if you would like me to be.. hugs from my heart to yours !!

Hi Maria, I remember you and I'm glad you've come back here for support! I know how easy it can be to get off track. Red flags go up when I get more than 5 pounds over my goal weight and I have to be very careful or things can spiral out of control easily. I live in a metropolitan area now and restaurants are a huge temptation for me. Not to mention the ease with which I can order any type of food over the phone and have it delivered to my front door. But I always go back to healthy eating and homemade cooking because I know deep down that's what is best for me. I wish you lots of luck as you get back on track and I hope you'll keep checking in with us.

Hello everybody!
I finally started back walking and working out at the gym. I picked up a friend this morning and she and I walked 3/4 mile together at the gym and did some workouts with the weight machines there.
Another friend brought some homemade vegetable soup and I had some for dinner and for supper. Took my Mother half of it and she had some for her dinner also.
Later, had speghetti with bread...then a candy bar and 2 bananas...top it all off with a large bag of microwave popcorn for bedtime snack. Oh, well.
Hope you all have a good night tonight...remember...Jesus loves ya and so do I! Love, Maria

Good evening!
It has been a very rainy day here in S.C. Thank the Lord for it.
I did some grocery shopping and visited my Mother this afternoon.
Cooked Hubby's favorite, fried chicken, for supper tonight, with rice and gravy and collard greens.
Anyway, thought I'd say hello!
Have a good night and remember...Jesus loves ya and so do I! Love, Maria

Hello to you!
Long time, no write! But I do come here and read...
We've not had much of a winter here in South Carolina thus far...more like an early spring with temps mostly in the 60's and even 70's sometimes for the highs.
I'm up some in weight, but feeling great, so I thank the Lord!
I bought a canteloupe today and halved it with my Mother...also 2 bananas for us, too. Fruit is good for you...so much better than SUGAR, the sucrose kind, that is. I usually feel good when I eat fruit but usually do not with sugared things like pastries and candy. I got Hubby a navel orange, which he had for a snack tonight.
Anyway, Hubby is laying here beside me, sleeping as I key this. He and I still teach a Sunday School class together and we enjoy this very much!
Well, this is all for now...take care and have a good night and remember...Jesus loves you and so do I! Love, Maria (smile!)
P.S. Above weight is a guess that was added in April, 2006.

Yes, we did go to Maui last year at this time for the first time. I weigh about the same this year too. I was so sure I would lose a lot of weight this year and feel great. I don't know what happened! Good to hear from you. Take care.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Merry Christmas to you! Remember the reason for the season! God loves you so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to take your place on the cross and give His life for yours, so that when you repent (or repented) of your sins and ask His forgiveness and believe in and live for Him, you have eternal life. This is God's gift to you...salvation through His precious Son, Jesus Christ.
I hope you and yours have a very happy, safe, blessed Christmas. There's no greater blessing than to be a Christian, knowing that you belong to Jesus Christ.
If you are not a Christian, I hope you become one today.
Love, Maria (smile!) Remember...Jesus loves ya and so do I!

Hello everybody!!! Long time, no write...but I come here occassionally (sp?) and read. Hope you're all doing okay.
I've gained a little from where I was, but I'm doing well. I'm not focused on a certain number or size. Just focused on the Lord! (Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour.)
I hope you all have a very merry Christmas!
Love, Maria...remember....Jesus loves ya and so do I! (smile!)

Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well! It is warm here in S.C....about 98 degrees fahrenheit and it is a sunny, humid day.
Today is my birthday. (Shu-u-u-u-u!) I thank the Lord for another day, and another year. I thank the Lord that I am a born-again Christian. The only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ...there is no other way! Some people may think they can make it on their own merits, their own good works, but it isn't so! We all need the Lord in our lives. Without Him, there is no life. He is our Creator.
So, how have you all been doing? I still come here from time to time and read.
How's your weather where you're at?
Well, have a great day (and if you are saved, if you have Jesus for your Lord and Saviour, it is!) and remember....Jesus loves ya and so do I!
Love, Maria (smile!)

Hi Maria, I haven't seen you around here in a while, welcome back. And Happy Birthday! I'm in the Northeast and it's been HOT and humid up here for weeks now. Today it was in the low 90s, but I guess that's mild for you folks down south ;) I hope you're enjoying your special day!

Hello to you! I know, long time, no write... Hope you're all doing well! I've been focusing more on good health and less on scale numbers.
I'm up a little in weight and size but I'm feeling much better.
We've been having gorgeous weather here in the south...mostly sunny and warm with the exception of today which was rainy but still warm. We are averaging in the 80's now. I love to get up and hear the birds happily singing their beautiful melodic songs outside in the trees. I'm glad there are lots of trees around here...elsewise, where would they perch as they sing their lovely tunes each morning?
We have lots of squirrels that love to run and play. They sometimes come up on the front porch or the back deck and just sit staring at you until you get them a piece of bread or something to eat but we don't feed them often so they'll stay independant and keep up their foraging (digging and hunting for their foods).
I've been keeping up with exercise, going to the gym regularly (I earned and won a special tee shirt for walking 50 miles in 3 months) and working out with weights.
Hubby and I haven't been grilling outside much as we used to do but I like to lay in the lougechair on the back deck and soak up sunshine some afternoons when it's not hot but just nice and warm and sunny.
Hubby and I are still teaching an adult Sunday School class together at our church and I'm still playing the piano and singing in church also.
Well, think I'll go read some entries...take care and remember...Jesus loves ya and so do I!
Love, Maria (smile!)
