That is 3 pounds in one month. I know that is not a lot of weight and sometimes I think how slow that loss is and how hard I work just to get that little bit of loss. AND THEN I think about that period of time I was eating heathy and low calorie and exercising and was gaining about a pound a week and sometime 2 or 3 pounds a week. I thank first my Lord for answering my prayers and then I thank my dr. who finally listened to me and I thank a patient and loving husband that kept encouraging me when I wanted to just give up.

Yesterday my dd and I went out with a lady from our church. She is legally blind and she plays the organ in church and she sings specials for us. She is a dear lady and her husband is twisted with arthritus and they live on such a small income with my money for extra's. It is her birthday. So my family and another family came togeather and we gave her 80 dollars and took her out for lunch. Then we took her shopping. She bought new clothes (she said) for the first time in years. She gives so much to everyone and I was so happy we could do a little something for her.

Nothing much else is happening around here.

Baby is sitting in the floor still in his jammies playing with his thomas the trains.
, he has a cold and wants to wear his cars jammies and scooby doo bedroom shoes so I said "why not"

Have a blessed day everyone.
