Good morning everyone!
WI down a few bumps but nothing to write home about
WO when I finish here it is day 3 of week 12...I am really excited to say I completed the entire 12 weeks IN 12 weeks LOL
Today will be busy with last minute cleaning, arranging, wrapping etc before Daughter and family arrive (fingers crossed no delays) tomorrow. They have to change planes at ORD.
Today will be pretty much the last day for DH cleaning his items out of the shop. The only thing left will be the 40' container in back we have to have moved and stored. It is becoming so real now.
I woke up feeling horrible this morning. I'm wondering if I have the flu or covid.
Steps from yesterday: 6,877
Have a Blessed day and stay safe and healthy.

2 Corinthians 2:14
Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
Rose was hoping for some miracle to appear in her Christmas stocking. Another year was almost gone, and she hadn't lost any weight. Each year she swore things would be different, but nothing ever changed. Rose just didn't have any commitment at all. She knew no one would lose the weight for her, but she kept hoping it would melt away on its own. Dreaming won't make our weight disappear. We need to take positive steps on our own. However, we have God to help us. He will carry us when we are too weak to continue, and He will encourage us when we feel depressed and hopeless. God offers us victory in the face of failure. Accept God's help, and a miracle will indeed happen.
Today's thought: I know what I need to do to lose weight, and with God's help I will do it!

Yangtzer, I have been IF for years. even before I knew what it was. lol. It feels most natural. My dad and brother are the same way with naturally preferring IF.
Philippians 3:13
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.
Wendy had a hard time putting her past behind her. Christmas had been torture for her as a child. Everyone would talk about 'poor' Wendy, who was fat and awkward. Everyone always picked on her, and they never let her eat the things she wanted. Every single person had some sage bit of advice for her. Even though things had changed a lot in the past couple of years, she still dreaded the holidays. She was trim and svelte, and no one could do anything but admire her, and still it was hard. Old demons die hard. Dieting requires much more than physical transformation. It also calls for emotional healing, and the one sure source for that is God.
Today's thought: The past is fast fading away. I'm headed for a trimmer me!
Sine Rose: I, too, like Denali (MooseTrack ice cream). Too much!!!! That chocolate ribbon with the peanut cups with vanilla or chocolate ice cream. I wonder if it was invented in Alaska. I try not to buy ice cream, except for an occasional small cone or jr. frosty...
Nancy: Glad you are making progress in your move.
Welcome Fluff: I, too, am wondering what you play? I miss being in a band...
Welcome Girl 81!
CieCie: Way to go! Glad you made it safely! I have a couple of Grisham books and a movie out from the library...
Diana: Get well soon!
Exercise has been okay. I worked out 4x last week (including swimming, rowing, elliptical, biking). I worked out a couple of times this week. I need to start biking and doing wts. at home, because I don't want to travel when the weather is bad.
Diet could be better. I am good except for dessert... I read about some dark chocolate having too much lead and cadmium. Maybe I will switch brands...
WO: biking+jogging 2 hours
FOOD: I was bored and couldn’t go to sleep last night. I thought about going out for a walk, but it was freezing cold outside. I ended up snacking non stop and woke up in the middle of the night due to heartburn.
. I also cut out my protein powder.
