Jeremiah 31:16-17 Thus saith the Lord; 'Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded,' saith the Lord; 'and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. And there is hope in thine end,' saith the Lord, 'that thy children shall come again to their own border.'Stephanie looked at the pictures from her wedding day. Had she really ever been that thin? How had the pounds found their way onto her body in such a few short years? She determined that she was going to return to her former figure by the end of the year. As a Christmas present to herself and her family, she was going to be able to wear her wedding dress once again. With a great sense of hope, Stephanie worked toward her goal, and as subtly as the pounds had accumulated, they began to melt away. With the help of the Lord, we can always escape the enemy of fat and return to the land of fitness. Today's thought: God helps me beat the fat foe!
I ended up finishing weed eating after dark last night...I hope it doesn't look too bad. I had jelly arms again...don't know what's up with that..it was super hot when I attempted to mow the front in stretchy jeans...thought I would pass out..
bUT last night was a little more cooler..
I am laying here missing my boys but trying to sleep in since I don't work today...
ciecie, how is your dad?
today is my attempt at 1 min plank....I haven't got on the scale yet...I will when I decide to get up...
Will post then try to edit with personals because that is when it eats my posts

Syck - 2lbs is 2lbs water or not! Jendiet - You know. Shaking. Heat, fatigue, dehydration - I would be just keeping a log of when it happens and circumstances surrounding. South Cackalacky is pretty darned hot this week Kelijpa - Hi! Looking good and steady! Diana - so what do you know on the changes?

good morning again! you ladies are doing great! just got back from power walking and running errands. will take the bus to a neighboring community this afternoon to power walk and run errands there.
morning everyone down .4 to 160.4 now that the water is almost gone I need to keep on track more than ever! Kelijpa - looks like you have lost a bunch of weight since I was last here! Are you doing anything special diet-wise?

Lunch - can of tuna w/ma, herbs, and green onions along with spinach leaves (may or may not actually eat the whole can)
Snack - Celery sticks w/BHF dressing

Good afternoon to all!
WI still the same 168.0 I really thought I might see another drop this morning oh well. Gym workout was good last night except......I was doing my free weights and I have my towel, water and weight I was using on the last bench in the row of 5. Then this group of 3 burly boys comes over and decides they need to be right next to me and the bench to my right. So benches 1 (me) 2 empty, 3+4 being used, 5 empty. And of course the benches are lined up near the weight racks. They are so close to me I can not do some of my upper body stuff because I can not lay on my bench and extend my arms. The whole time they are there doing bicep curls etc. and so close to the weight racks I can barely walk by...I was so frustrated I racked my weights and went to the other part of they gym to do my stair-master HIIT workout. So before I started that I went to refill my water and one of the three was there too. I asked if he was part of that group and he siad yes. Then I told him how uncomfortable they made me feel and why. He was totally shocked because he did not even realize what they were doing to the rest of us over there trying to get our workouts in. Oh and the people at benches 3+4 left too because of their lack of consideration of personal space.
GranNan, we have the same measurements almost. My natural waist is actually 33 inches, but I don't go by that because my fatty area is at my belly button and that's where my jeans go!
Nancy, I'm glad you made them aware of the situation
syck, I remember studying my heart out for nursing school, don't miss those days. I like how you have a plan for any circumstance
thank you Diana, I am determined to NOT let the scale discourage me.
today was 196.4. I don't know if this is TOM weight finally dropping but I hope so...I hope to recover to 194...and be able to break the 190s this week or next..
I already did a little yard work but it's miserable out there...
I forgot to put my tracker back on after my shower, so lost some steps..
good afternoon! just got back from power walking and running errands in a nearby community. will go for another power walk and run more errands in a few minutes.
Jen: I don't know how seeds grow down south. Shirley poppies and larkspur like cool weather. Some people sow poppy seeds on top of snow. I have friends in PA who never get them to grow because they wait until May or June to sow. Other seeds like zinnias don't like cold weather. Oh, I hope your arms/hands get better. Some years I carry lots of bags of dirt/buckets of water up a hill. I ran into a problem with hands being a bit numb like when I was on an arc trainer...or spinning or something. I think I was carrying too heavy. I do sit-ups on a stability ball and afterwards I lean backwards on the ball to stretch out my back. And I use a cart to drag the bags of dirt to the backyard...
KellyPa: Many years ago I worked at a camp on a lake up near Honesdale, PA... Oh, I wish we had spring 9 months of the year and one month summer, fall, and winter...and I wish my perennials would bloom continuously and flowers like annual poppies would survive all season. And I understand your sentiments about having a longer growing season. Sometimes my vegetables and some flowers like zinnias are just getting going when the first frost of fall comes...I don't like when gardening goals are not achieved. I remember seeing 2 year old tomato plants grown hydroponically at Disney World...
DIET: Okay, except for donut and frappe and too much cereal...which means I blew it...
EXERCISE: Swam for an hour yesterday and did some knee exercises yesterday and today. No stability ball. No cardio today.
OTHER: I planted 4 heucheras (coral bells) this am. I am glad I got something done. I went in the house, ate, and fell asleep. All of a sudden it was dinner time...and it was raining...During a lull in the weather, I rearranged some of the potted plants, planted some euyonomous (sp?) japonica cuttings, and weeded the edge of the garden. I am happy I did something and I am glad it keeps starting to rain, because the soil is really dry.
