Okay, let's try this again....

Well, I have thinking about and planning all the different posts I need to make here, and I finally told myself to just get on the computer and start again today with how I'm feeling and doing now. If I can get back and fill in the blanks sometime, I will do that, but this is today and I just need to get busy.

This morning, after two days at the same weight (not much, I know, and I'm fine with that), I stepped on the scale and found that I had dropped a pound-and-a-half since yesterday morning. That is the second time that happened in a week, and I weighed four pounds less today than I did one week ago, for a total of 83 pounds lost. I still just shake my head in amazement. I must say that I love going to Church each week; I get so many comments - so many people telling me how good I look. It is such a boost to hear those! I have a sweet young friend at Church (who grew up in Germany), whose mother comes from Germany to visit her each year. The mother and I have become good friends through these visits, as well. So I walked into Sunday School class this morning and found her mother sitting there. The last time I saw her I weighed 83 pounds more than I do now, and she was actually speechless! Then she couldn't stop telling me how beautiful I look and how much younger. I was thrilled!

One thing I need to do though is fix my skirts. A couple of weeks ago we went to church with our daughter and her family in Arizona. We all rode together in their big SUV (it was so much easier to climb up into that thing than it used to be!), and when we got there, I was sliding across the seat to the door and left my skirt behind. Literally, it slid about halfway down my rear end! Oops!!! I guess I need to tighten the elastic in that one. I am very glad skirts are so easy to adjust down a size or two.
