I totally missed blogging yesterday. We ran a bunch of errands which entailed hiking thru Lowes and Michaels and I came home trashed. I'm afraid I'm still fighting weakness. Its a good thing I lead a laid back life and am not chasing kids etc! I do LOVE waking up to a loss every morning but I definitely won't miss feeling like a limp dishrag. We've got company coming in this weekend and it will certainly be a challenge getting things ready. Pulling off a Thanksgiving dinner should be interesting too. Hoo Boy. Good thing I will have lots of willing helpers.
Something I really need to do is get a better variety going in my meals. I sure wish I liked more of the permitted veggies. I'm finding myself fantasizing about broccoli, Brussels sprouts, green beans and baked potatoes.. with butter, of course! LOL Oh, and whole wheat bread. I ran across a recipe the other day for wheat bread made with olive oil and no sweetener that I can hardly wait to try. Funny that I have no interest in the things I usually crave like M&Ms or brownies. Wouldn't it be lovely if that was a permanent aftermath? I've always said I would be a size 3 if chocolate had never been invented. :)
Big news of the day is that I'm down 16 pounds!!! Now THAT beats a baked potato any day. LOL Blood sugar also remains in the normal range.
See, I was skinny once upon a time! :)
About Me
- Mama Peck
- I'm a 60-something wife, mom and grandma. The biggest blessing in my life is to have been married to my dearest Friend and Sweetheart for 40 years. We have 5 children and 18 grandchildren who are the joy of my life. We just finished 2 years of service as a missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints in the Arizona Phoenix Mission- and plan to spend the summer traveling and visiting family. My mom's nickname for me was Polly Anna (and my siblings have never let me live it down!). But, its true I do have a positive outlook on life and feel richly blessed by a loving Heavenly Father.
