Last 2 days have been rather busy - glad that most of the running around is finish as I am tired. Norm had looked at new cars over the last week (we had a 2019 Rio made by KIA) Well they have a big sale going on and were looking for good used cars. Our only had 60,000 miles on it so they had called us to see if we would be…

Have been struggling somewhat with food - eating to much bread (flour) and drinking soda pop. So today that has changed - am back to water only and no carbs. By no carbs I mean I am eliminating anything with flour which means no bread (which is so addictive) pasta, rice or potatoes. On saying that I know there will be…

Today's weight 233 = that means 10 pounds gained over 6 weeks - now to reverse it

Sorry to hear that both of you seem to be dealing with health problems - but the Lord is great and will give us the strength to hold up to all that we are goiong through. We are dealing with a few issues that can be frustrating. Our furnace in February needed to have a repair person out - total cost is $1,500 and…

Had my earing tested Tuesday. Could not find out why I have rining in left ear. But I do have hearing loss and it was suggested to think about hearing aids but to come back in one year to be checked again. So now need to see my doctor to get to see an ear, throat and nose specialist to see if he can find out what the…

Last day of February - time flies as they say. I was to the doctor again this week due to the noise in one ear and the stuffyness in the other - the dizziness is still there from vertigo. He asked me to go to the hearing clinic and get a hearing test done so we can get an accurate account of what is happening. Pluse he…

January 7 2025 = 225.1 January 21 2025 = 225.5 February 18 2024 = 225.8

Today marks 1 week of making positive changes - and I am seeing results and feeling so much better. February 11 I weighed in at 230 Today February 18 I weighed in at 225.8 which is a loss of 4.2 pounds. Makes me feel good that I stuck with the changes and am seeing progress. What are the changes? Biggest change is not…

M - mangos

I started my new eating plan on -official start date was Feb 11 with a weigh in of 230. This morning Feb 15 I weighed in at 226.8 so the healthy way of eating is helping. Working on 5 pound goals - so just about there for the first goal. Plan consisted of low carb watching to work on geting the grams to 20 or below. Means…

Sounds like our lives are busy - doesn't get slower even though we are older. Got some good information from my sister re food. There is a program called Proper Human Diet by a Doctor that she sent me on. Makes so much sense. It talks about how we used to eat 50 years ago and lays out a plan on how to do that now. It is…

Fears

We are having a cold front going through our city. It is -12C which is 10 F so it is cold but last week it was even colder. No snow though - all around our city there is snow on the ground but not us which is nice.. Could mean we have a drought for the summer though. Still under a lot of stress due to Trump - he is…

Well no snow yet though it is all around us. But it is so cold - shower stall in ensuite - the drain pipe has frozen but it is slowly draining - we need to make sure this get looked at before next years cold as it is not nice having that shower not working. Thankfully we have a second bathroom to shower in Will be getting…

We did not get snow as Judith did but we really have been hit with the cold. But we really can't complain as it is February and our city really has not had any snow to speak of - though the mountains/hills around us are covered Am struggling a bit with eating - from Sept through Dec I lost 14 pounds and now I have gained…

Am doing well but need to get a bit more serious about what goes into my mouth. I have not lost yet this month but have gained 1/2 a pound - so need to work on that for sure I can't find the weight thread either so I will put up a new one. Nice to have a place to keep a record of it. Maark 11:24 Therefore I tell you,…

Praying for you ladies for health and for a continued walk with the Lord Today I went to my TOPS meeting. I weighed in at 225.5 = really having a difficult time getting below that number - maybe next Tuesday I will be able to report a loss. We got some snow overnight - not enough to really have to shovel but enough to make…

Those pictures of the snow - brings back many memories for me. We lived in a place called Revelstoke British Columbia (Canada) and talk about snow. Norm would leave for work on the train and return 30 hours later to find 4 feet of snow to be shoveled. We would have to shovel so much that it was as high as the roof of the…

Gone

L = lemons

Got weighed today at TOPS = 225.2 up 0.1 of an ounce Feeling the cold so have been under my quilt wearing a long sleaved top plus a big heavy sweater, a heating pad on my stomach under the quilt. Glad this doesn't happen often as it lays me up which I don't like. Tomorrow the furnace man should be coming out - was out 2…

Nice coming and reading all the messages - praying for all of you. Today I was back to TOPS - l had a small gain of 0.1 of a pound. Thought that was sort of funny as the weight recorder said 'you should have gone to the bathroom before weighin in' But am going to do better next week. We are waiting for the furnace repair…

Talking about music at church.. We have 2 services on Sunday and each of them the worship team plays. Today there was 7 of them. Electric guitars, violin, electric piano/organ, drums and 2 extra singers. They do a lot of practicing and sound very professional but to me it is to loud. Our service is televised at the 11…

Doing well - next week will get blood work done and see if kidney function has improved - praying it has. Sad news - we got a call from Norm's mo - his brother Lyall said goodbye to his wife Rita on January 5 at 8 am. She was a very small and sweet lady suffering from cancer for 11 years. They were married 52 years and…

G - grapefruit

Well after 4 months I finally went back to TOPS. Glad I did as it really helps having to be accountable to someone else who records my weight. September 3 2024 I weighed in at 239.9 January 7 2025 I weighed in at 225.1 showing a lost of 14.8 pounds. Am very pleased as it shows that by changing my food up as I have done is…

Gosh we are already on day 6 of the New Year - we did have some snow but roads are bare. Would be nice if that was all we get but think we will have a dump soon I haven't been to my TOPS meeting since the end of Sept due to health reasons. I was 239 at that time - they have a new scale and it weighs 4 pounds heavier than…

A apple

Another day will soon be coming to an end - we got a skiff of snow but hopefully it will melt but am sure we will get a dump soon. Am doing well with my food plan - no so well with the walking. So I really have to push myself to start with walking as it seems the big thing for me now. Yesterday weighed in aaat 225 and this…
