    I am glad to hear you are getting better Sandra. I have been working on my diamond painting in between sitting and watching the snow fall. I am about 1/3 of the way done with the picture. The dusting of snow that was on the grass melted during a short break in the snow fall. It's falling pretty good again now, but it's not sticking. I guess the ground is too warm.

    Good morning. We still have a little dusting of snow on the ground, but I'm sure it will melt today. Have a good day!

    Hi! Sorry I missed a couple days. I thought I checked in, but I guess I didn't. I'm having a nice weekend. I finished the book I was reading yesterday (Where the Crawdads Sing) and I loved it. I worked on my diamond painting this afternoon. Yesterday, I ate tons of vegetables and had 10 points left at the end of the day! And that was with my husband asking for pizza! I ate two small (half breadstick sized) pieces, which was about the same as one slice. I ordered a salad for myself and ate that instead of having more pizza. This morning, when I got on the scale (I weigh every day, but only record my weight on Saturdays) I realized I am now lower than I've been since September of 2016. There was a day last October where I was halfway between yesterday's weight and today's weight, but from here on out, I'm going to weigh less than I have in at least half a decade. That is really encouraging to me. I also hit 6 months of exercising every single day with no excuses to skip a day. Overall, I'm just really proud of myself and my efforts and I feel like I'm really making progress. I am almost to my next set of goals. I am less than a pound away from reaching 70 pounds lost and about a half pound less than that will be 20% of my start weight lost. I think when I reach the 20% lost, I will take progress pictures to add to my weight loss collage.

    Thanks, Sandra. This is the longest I've stuck to a healthier lifestyle and I am really proud of my perseverence. I guess I have finally learned what happens to me when I give up.

    Even though I am diabetic I decided to incorporate more fruit in my diet I feel like I am not getting enough. I am also going back to the old WW I did very well on it. I tried using their online website and I got so confused I gave up I will keep track of my own points.

    Sandra, I hope it works for you. I am upset that fruit is no longer "free" for me on my WW plan because I am diabetic. It's been a rough day. Headache, bathroom issues, busy day at work where I didn't feel accomplished.

    Nicole I didn't know you were diabetic.
    I heard from doctor today and said limit my fruit so I must do as she said my numbers have been so good don't want to ruin my numbers. I did very well today.

    Sandra I'm glad your numbers have been good lately. It is the start of another day. I hired a new CPA yesterday to help with our taxes because they are more complicated this year. We owe less than I expected, so it was worth hiring him. I hired him yesterday and we had a zoom call yesterday evening because he was finished and wanted to go over the returns with me. I'm hoping that I get more accomplished at work today than I did yesterday. I don't think I have any meetings today, so that should help.
