Good Morning, Everyone!

I am down 3 pounds for the week. I'm sure most of it is water weight and I thought the loss would be more. But, weight is weight.

SinaRose Keep at it!

Yesterday's calories: 1500

Yesterday: 30 minute walk

Steps from yesterday: 9,392

Have a Blessed day and stay safe and healthy.

Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Mary took comfort from the gospels. Whenever she felt sorry for herself, she looked at the Bible. She couldn't believe all that Jesus had done and suffered. He had so much, and He emptied Himself to give to others. In the end, He received eternal glory. What a wonderful lesson. Dieting is a temporary and comparatively minor sacrifice, compared with Christs sacrifice. And yet, as Christ triumphed over His situation, so shall we triumph over ours. Christ is our example in all things. The Author and Finisher of our faith has shown us the way to victory, and we share in His joy when we triumph in our own lives.

Today's thought: What I suffer today is worth the victory tomorrow!

Luke 1:49

'For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.'

Al sat in his chair, looking around the living room at all the people he loved so much. Six months ago, he had almost died of a heart attack. Today he was forty pounds trimmer and a whole lot healthier. He had so much to be thankful for. God had been so good to him. He never realized how much life meant to him until he almost lost it. Now he found it wasn't that hard to watch his diet and his blood pressure. It was worth it. God had done great things for Al. The least he could do was take good care of himself. After all, he had a great family that he planned to enjoy into his old, old age.

Today's thought: Life is a gift from God that I have no right to abuse!

[SinaRose]

Diana-oh no, I am sorry to hear that you are still sick. I hope you get well soon. I will keep you in my prayers. 🙏

Hi Everyone!

Went to urgent care today about the cough issue. They did a chest x-ray and everything was fine. The only thing they could think was that I had an allergy irritation or a virus a few weeks ago and the coughing keeps irritating the lining of the lungs. When I was walking a few weeks ago someone was burning something and the smoke bothered me. This has actually happened a couple times in the last few weeks. I think people are burning leaves. Anyways, I'm suppose to keep taking the mucinex and I was prescribed a cough medicine.

Psalm 146:1, 8
Praise ye the Lord, Praise the Lord, O my soul. The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord loveth the righteous.

Dick couldn't believe everyone was against him. First, his wife started making comments about his weight. Next, it was his doctor. Now, his friends at the office. He looked the same as he always did. Why was everyone picking on him all of the sudden? Maybe he had gained a little, but that was just normal spread for a middle-aged man. He'd never worried about weight before, and he sure wasn't planning to start worrying now. Sometimes we are too blind to see when we need to lose weight. Pride gets in the way, and we aren't honest with ourselves. Ask God to help keep ego out of the way, and He will open your eyes to see what needs to be done.

Today's thought: When it comes to weight, I won't kid myself!

[SinaRose]

The moment when you want to quit is the moment when you need to keep pushing.
