I started this thread as soon as I started using the App and didn't notice where I put this! Senior brain??? One day I'll find my way around! We can move it to discussions if that would make it easier, or just keep it here - it seems folks are finding it!
Sticking to plan. Forgot to weigh this morning, had about four or five hours of sleep last night and not too bright today!
Marilynn, I'll take a look at HUB too. It seems like both apps do pretty much the same thing. I can search a word or phrase on E-Sword and it will give me all the verses. I can also download the Greek and Hebrew of NASB as well as KJV and it will give me the Strong's numbers and I can click on that and get the Strong's definition, as well as the Thayer's definitions. It puts everything in their own boxes so it's easy to find things when I need them.
I appreciate the verses y'all are sharing! Here's one of my favorites:
Mat 6:33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.
34 "Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Happy Saturday all!1 -
(June 12 2021) Morning/afternoon to all of you - praying that you are all having a great day - remember it is us that makes or breaks the day so lets all have a great one
@Restfinder - the Scripture you shared - Matthew 6:33 - is one that I read every morning to help me remember that I need to seek Him first every day not just when in need. As for this thread being up in the announce part of the group - did you know that at if you look at the title to the right you will see a toggle (black wheel thing) if you click on that it should give you the option to (1) delete this thread completely OR (2) close this thread. I have had to do that one one of the other groups I lead - I only put up 'announcements' where this thread is now and when I put the announce up I click on that wheel and click on ' close' making it so that no one can respond to it - just to read it. Make sense? If you did that then you could start it up under the discussions below - but it is up to you as you are the leader
At any rate am having a great day - today I am on Day 7 streak of logging on here to MFP and Day 15 of following my food plan. And all is well. The Lord has really given me the strength to eat only what I have written down in my food journal and because of doing that it is so much easier to not have to think of 'what do I eat for?' as I have it all written down.
Today I am grateful for the sunshine
My Scripture for today is
Deuteronomy 29:29
The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

I'm having a good day at my spot on the map...Just had lunch. I'm tracking the day at a time, to keep an eye on my numbers and see where I may need to adjust things. I get most of my carbs from veggies/fruits and now have a watchlist on those with this potassium thing going on. It will all come together. I'm making improvements and that is a good thing!
That's awesome Marilyn! Great report.
I grew quite weak during the past 2 weeks with my foot being out, being in incredible pain and misery...am very near recovery at the moment but still have the weakness to tend to, Makes me really draggy and exhausted.
I have a message to return to my PCP on Monday, have my echocardiogram set up for the 22nd...need to make follow up appointments with my cardiologist and my PCP for September/October maybe? I'm glad they call with reminders but I do keep a chart as well.
It's a lovely, sunny, headed to hot day here. I went out earlier to take a couple of locks off for my sunshine and air time. Zipping down an aisle, almost ran into a pick-up as he came down from the end. Thank God we were able to stop before collision! Ack!
Next week is sale week so I'm off Mon/Tue....and hope to be up to the task of laundry. I always pray for God's strength for my "hard labor"...I get more walking on laundry day than any other time.
Have a beautiful day all....1 -
Oh yay! I just listened to my message from my PCP and the test was fine...I am so glad. Not sure now about the echo-cardiogram I'm to do on the 22nd if that's necessary? I guess I'll do it since he scheduled it...and rule out other issues?1

The only problem with keeping this thread under announcements is that there is no room for announcements. Do we expect to do any challenges, special things, etc, to announce?1

Well...have a new proposed delivery date for my levemir. CVS/Caremark has been fiddling around since the middle of May, and since June 2nd, have changed the date 4 times. It's now...between the 21st and 26th I can expect it. I've been out since Friday now. I sent a message to my Dr. letting him know so when my numbers are really ridiculous, it's not all on me. My FBS was 283 this morning.1

Hello all I'll check in where I can using my cell phone which I really dislike doing and a few other bumps in the road hopefully laptop will be repaired in the next few days not made the best choices food-wise over the last few days trying to get myself back on track as always following your triumphs and struggles prayers and shares helps on a difficult day2

(June 14 2021)
Praying that you are all doing well, just read all the messages since I last posted.
@bren5535 - thinking of you and will be praying for you that your 'meds' will arrive so that you can continue with them with no issues. Keep track of your food intake and you will be ok
@connierandel - you mention about this 'thread' being in the announcement part - it would make more sense to have it in the discussion part below and just use the announcement for announcement.
@meremaidnji = I don't use my cell phone for anything but phoning or texting my children - hope you can get the bumps worked out so that you can come and participate more
@Restfinder - praying for you as well. If you are needing help with moving this thread let me know - I have done it before in order to clean up my groups so if you need my help just reach out to me.
Today I am grateful that my older sister (age 83) is doing as well as expected with cancer and her arthritus. Lots of prayers needed for her.
Psalm 40:8 I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart
Psalm 40:16 But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation say continually, 'Great is the Lord.'

Maryilyn, if you know how to move it, that would be great! Connie's right, it keeps us from having announcements, and at some point, when we get settled in, I'd like to start doing some challenges! I appreciate the help and the good advice!
Had some strange auras in my eyes today. I get a lot of headaches, but rarely have a migraine with auras. I got one in my left eye and took some acetaminophen and caffeine. The aura kept growing until it disappeared; and then I got one about an hour later in my right eye, same thing. Praise the Lord I only got a very mild headache!
Am down a wee bit more, breaking into the 230's with 239.4! Very happy about that. Hubby changed the batteries, but that didn't really make any difference. Our floors aren't very level (oh dear, when you walk barefoot you feel like you are walking on ridges!), so he thinks that might have something to do with it, although the bathroom probably has the most level floor! heehee! I take a couple pounds off of what it shows since, I think, that was the difference at the doctor's office.
I did have cheats over the weekend, but am back on track today! Trying to figure out what I want for dinner. I was thinking an omelet with spinach, chicken, and cheese! Yum!
Amen on those verses, Marilynn. I was working on a word study of Heb. 10:19-29 this morning. Very heavy section of scripture.2 -
LOL...Playing calendar guessing with CVS still...I checked again this morning and it now says expected delivery...17-21...praying I have it by Thursday...if not...I will just have to deal!
Marilyn, thanks so much! That was my thinking as well...keep tabs, keep tracking, stay calm and maintain a restful spirit because this is all in God's hands....
I'm feeling better today, and have much hope for renewed strength in the days ahead. I'm doing my home chores in my 10 minute spurts due to pain issues but hey...it all counts and gets things done.
That would be awesome! Getting the announcement thing cleared for upcoming things. I look forward to any challenges we may come up with before long.
Prayers for us all and those we love, in this new day...Be blessed best where needed most.

One of these days I'll get this figured out! I saw that there are some more threads put up - awesome!
Did well today on eating. I made some muffins for a snack from the THM book I have. They are basically oatmeal and fruit. Pretty good! I did my smoothie for dinner using unsweet coconut milk and saw it is packed with saturated fats so I was over in that category, but under in everything else. I'll do water for my muffins next time, instead of the coconut milk and the numbers will be better. (It gives water as an option, as well as cashew milk and something else, of which I have neither!). I thought about making my own cashew milk, but not sure how that would taste. I ordered a new blender today, something that has more power than my Nutribullet and will chop stuff as well. It's an Oster, so hopefully it will be good. It had mostly good reviews on Amazon. I sometimes find a leaf of spinach or a pile of seeds from my fruit at the bottom of my cup. I think there is some unmixed peanut butter in my cup from the smoothie I made for dinner, well, actually, it looks like the simply fruit jelly didn't blend! Hmmm???
Having lots of storms off and on throughout the day, but praise the Lord no power outages. Will talk to y'all later. Need to finish up her. God bless.1 -
Happy Wednesday, sisters in the Lord! I hope you are both doing well today. I'm still struggling with pain in my shoulder and arm, but it doesn't seem quite as severe today as it has felt the past few days. Praise the Lord for that! I slept on the sofa last night (off and on asleep) but don't think it helped a lot. I've been taking quite a bit of Tylenol, Willow Bark, and at night my Tramadol - that seems to help me sleep better with all of those painkillers in me. I don't want to keep taking that much Tylenol though, not sure what it is doing to my liver! God knows what is going on in there and in His time He will bring healing.
I hope that y'all will be able to enjoy worship this evening. Love y'all.0
