Ecclesiastes 9:7
Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.
There will come a day when the diet is truly over. We must endure until that day with a strong spirit and an earnest desire to please the Lord. We have been blessed with much, and in some cases, too much. God has been good to give, and He will be equally good to help take away. Remember the Lord every step of your diet. Call upon Him for strength, for comfort, for hope, and for courage. He will hear you, and He will be sure to answer you. In time, you will come to that day, not too distant, when you can eat your bread with joy and without guilt, drink and make merry, and stand confident and proud that you have indeed glorified your Lord.
Today's thought: I will be a conqueror, through the mighty love of God.
Teri, so glad vet report is okay. Wouldn't that be nice if we all could get together and take a walk, like you mentioned?! Very fun thought!
Diana, do you actually clean your whole house at one time? What a huge undertaking! Wow, I admire that! Good for you

Morning gang. Hope you all had a great holiday - I got my weight loss prize for breaking the Mendoza line. Welcome to the new people as we hope for a better 2021. The last few days have been stressful as our Nissan Rogue CVT transmission bit the dust and we searched, price matched and bought a new car. What was good was that I worked out during this time which reduced the stress some. crazy stuff, but now I can relax until Monday where I get back to work stress.
We received the results from DH's biopsy earlier in the week and it was benign. But I just got word that the one on my ear came back precancerous. In two weeks they will do the freeze with nitrogen. There was an area on the outside of my nose where a freckle was removed many years ago. A red spot came up and it was an area of interest to the Dr. but she chose to take a wait and see approach. It looks like it could easily bleed and I never realized that. Anyways, I feel that when I go back she should further investigate that and not wait. So last month I went for my yearly check-up. I had a sore in my nose that had not healed. That Dr. prescribed an antibiotic ointment because she thought it was staph. Well, the sore has not healed, although it has improved. That Dr. said if it does not heal she wants to refer me to an ear, nose, throat Dr. I just called the Dr. for that referral. Just way too much stuff for my comfort. I feel I need to get this stuff addressed as soon as possible. If you pray, I would appreciate prayers for me.
My breakfast and lunch were on plan. I ate off plan for dinner. DH and I shared a dessert. I didn't get a workout in but I got almost 9000 steps from cleaning the house.
Rachel You asked about me cleaning the house. I have a story to tell. DH and I were always self-employed. I cleaned the house, did the yard and ran my office. DH was at the shop more hours than me. All of this was fine until I decided to go go back to college. I got DH to find someone to do the grass. Cleaning the house was getting to be too much with work, working long hours, and school. I told DH that I was going to quit cleaning the house until he decided to help me. Six months went by and I still couldn't get any help from him. Keep in mind I still did the house but not like how I wanted it. DH refused to do anymore and suggested that I get a cleaning company. So I have had a cleaning company for many years. I had them come every other week. I tend to be OCD with everything. There were times we had time off from work and I would attempt to clean the house myself. I would half work myself to death and hurt myself. Once we retired I have kept the cleaning company but only once a month. So I do touch ups weekly, whatever is getting on my nerves. Then once a month I have the cleaning company come in and do everything. What they do in 1 1/2 hours it would take me 2 days to do. When they come to the house it's still a lot of work for me because I move stuff so they can clean better. Did I mention I am OCD?
