Good night all! Tomorrow is going to be a very busy day. Have to go grocery shopping and to the pool office. Have to mail my brother the entire sports section of The Buffalo News. He’s A HUGE BUFFALO BILLS FAN!🤶❤️🌲😁🎅🏻
Ciecie, what's a pool office? Swimming pool office?
I have a busy week planned to get ready for Christmas Eve. We plan to have a small gathering of immediate family members at my parents with mask precautions in place. I need to clean and set up stuff, get Mom and Dad ready, etc. And, as always, I pray that my parents do not get COVID.
Speaking of covid, I've had two high school classmates of mine die suddenly from covid......blood clots to the lungs. So sobering and heartbreaking. I'm 58.
Did okay this week. Calorie count average for the week was 1419. Still need to do more exercise.
Praying that everyone here stays safe during their celebrations.
Last night: Basic stretches
This morning: Oxycise
Calories for yesterday: Unknown
Weigh In: 195
Up: 1.2 pounds (lovely, NOT! no sense in complaining, I did it)
Have a Blessed day and stay safe and healthy. Have a great start to your week!

2 Corinthians 2:14
Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
Rose was hoping for some miracle to appear in her Christmas stocking. Another year was almost gone, and she hadn't lost any weight. Each year she swore things would be different, but nothing ever changed. Rose just didn't have any commitment at all. She knew no one would lose the weight for her, but she kept hoping it would melt away on its own. Dreaming won't make our weight disappear. We need to take positive steps on our own. However, we have God to help us. He will carry us when we are too weak to continue, and He will encourage us when we feel depressed and hopeless. God offers us victory in the face of failure. Accept God's help, and a miracle will indeed happen.
Today's thought: I know what I need to do to lose weight, and with God's help I will do it!
Hi Teri - I am doing fine with two weeks off to chill and exercise. My upcoming challenging is sustaining this weight loss and remain humble about it (ok, be a little proud). It’s because of support of wonderful people like you that I have had this journey. I am ready to do some body project cardio and steps and then maybe follow it up with a little shopping. I am having maybe 3 cookies a day - no big deal - and a little above the 1950 calorie target.
ciecie - the Bills are great and I love the food in Buffalo - IMHO one of the hidden foodie city secrets in the US. I used to do work in Wellend, ON and the people in that region are wonderful.
Good workout today - 30 min cardio and 7 mi on the treadmill. 22.5 k steps so far today which includes Christmas shopping. With this weight loss, I am starting to redo my wardrobe, wearing clothes more toward L instead of XXL
Calories for yesterday: 1370 +
Weigh In: 194.6
Down: .4
Have a Blessed day and stay safe and healthy.

Philippians 3:13
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.
Wendy had a hard time putting her past behind her. Christmas had been torture for her as a child. Everyone would talk about 'poor' Wendy, who was fat and awkward. Everyone always picked on her, and they never let her eat the things she wanted. Every single person had some sage bit of advice for her. Even though things had changed a lot in the past couple of years, she still dreaded the holidays. She was trim and svelte, and no one could do anything but admire her, and still it was hard. Old demons die hard. Dieting requires much more than physical transformation. It also calls for emotional healing, and the one sure source for that is God.
Today's thought: The past is fast fading away. I'm headed for a trimmer me!
. I'm 58.
