hello gang, I'm doing fine. last day at work.

[Teri000]

Hello!


Nancy: I hope that you get some relief from the CBD products. I once saw a film about the CDB products being developed in Colorado by growing low THC plants. I think products are now developed/sold in my state...but it is kind of pricy. I have read that some people say they help, but that sometimes they are not potent enough.

CieCie: Dinner theatre sounds fun. Hope that the food was good...

Joe: How long are you off for?

Diana: Have a nice trip this weekend!

Rachel: Hope your family help you out with all that work.


I did the efflexor, biked, swam and exercised yesterday. I may back off the efflexor for now because my feet hurt. Maybe I will do the rowing machine... Diet was okay yesterday...but I really need to make some healthy foods. I have been consuming alot of roasted red pepper soup... Oh, I had 2 cookies today...

Good morning all! Teri, the food was very good. Had breakfast. 😁🤶❤️🎅🏻🌲😷

Hi Everyone!

The resort is really nice. A lot of walking areas. We did some shopping today. DH and I both bought a pair of shoes. My friend bought 3 pairs and her DH bought 2 pairs. Food has been awesome! We have a gas fireplace in our room and I love it.

I have been walking daily.

Steps from yesterday: 9,742

Have a Blessed evening!

Good evening! My brother, sister-in-law, nephew and niece and I went out to dinner tonight. My sister and brother-in-law gave us a gift certificate for a restaurant in Moline, Illinois called The Captain’s Table. We enjoyed it! 😁🎅🏻🌲☃️🤶😷

Ciecie, sounds like you are having such a fun time with your family!!!

Diana, your mini-vacation sounds enjoyable!

Yangzter, are you leaving your job or just off for Christmas?

Tonight is our get-together with my side of the family. As I've mentioned previously, I've been busy. I think things are basically in order. I took in around 1500 calories yesterday. No exercise.

Today's Plan: eat moderately, 2 liters water, vit/min/cal supp.

[Teri000]

Good Morning!

Diane: Sounds like you are nice and toasty and cozy... Hope that your new shoes are really comfortable.

Yesterday, I exercised, biked, swam and did the rowing machine. Diet okay except for 3 small cookies... I am trying to use up some food in the house, so maybe I will hold off grocery shopping until next week...

Good morning! Will have breakfast in a few minutes. 😁☃️😷❤️🤶🌲🎅🏻

Copied from Crosswalk Devotions for Dieters

December 23

Colossians 1:13
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.

Christmas was going to be extra fun this year. Lois hadn't told anyone that she had lost a good deal of weight. More than that, she had been so depressed by her weight problem in the past that she hadn't been much fun to be around. She felt so much better about herself, and she definitely felt better about the holidays. Her life had been lived in the darkness of depression, but the light of God had broken through, much like the star of Bethlehem broke through the Jerusalem sky two thousand years before. The wise men had found the baby Jesus by following its light, and Lois had found a new life of her own, led by the very same saving light of God.

Today's thought: The lightness of my body is due to the light of Christ!

Copied from Crosswalk Devotions for Dieters

December 24
2 Thessalonians 3:5
And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

Nancy sat in the warm glow of the firelight, looking at the sparkle of the Christmas tree. What was it like that very first Christmas morn? What must Mary and Joseph have been feeling? Imagine the anticipation and wonder. Nancy's mind wandered to the fact that she had lost so much weight through the year. Suddenly, she was embarrassed by a thought. She had thought her diet was so important; she had been so impatient trying to lose weight. Compared with the magic and wonder of this night, and all that it meant, her diet seemed pretty insignificant. She owed everything she had and everything she was to Jesus Christ. It was a joy to welcome Him into her heart once again this blessed Christmas Eve.

Today's thought: The day-to-day gifts of God pale in comparison with His greatest gift: His Son, Jesus the Christ!

Good afternoon again! Listening to Christmas music this afternoon! 😁☃️😷❤️🤶🎅🏻🌲

[Rachel1234]

Had a great time last night with family! Feel so blessed. I suppose I ate moderately all things considered? Could have been worse.

Today's Plan: 1200-1500 calories, 2 liters water, veggies, fiber, vit/min/cal supp., recumbent bike.

Good morning! Merry Christmas! 🤶🌲❤️🎅🏻☃️😁😷
