...but there are so many other things that take priority...some I'm good with... like reading my Bible...a time I look forward to every day!...and walking with Piper and Buddy and throwing the frisbee for Dingo.
Some I'd rather be blogging...like folding clothes and putting them away...and setting the sprinkler out to run...every evening now that it's hot and we're not getting enough rain!
I think of lots of things that would be fun to blog about so I write the blog in my head during the day and plan to write it out here but it usually never happens = )
Anyhow...here's the catch-up...weights at the meeting, with clothes and shoes:
Week 54 - 116.8
Week 55 - 116.6
Week 56 - 118.6
Week 57 - 116.2
Not exactly sure what happened in week 56 but I knew I hadn't over-eaten so I wasn't freaked out by the number on the scale at the Weight Watchers meeting.
And yesterday, I got overheated in the last mile of my 4 mile run. I took walk breaks but felt sick when I got home. I kept feeling sick and then all of a sudden, I started POURING sweat. I had been sweating normally, which was ALOT, but then I started sweating PROFUSELY. Seriously, no other way to describe it!
It was streaming down me and great big drops falling from my face and shoulders, down my legs...but my sick feeling went away right after that! I was praising God for creating a body that knows how to cool itself off...what a blessing that is! And a reminder of how serious it is for a person when they stop sweating = (
So I think maybe that's why my weight was lower than normal. 117 is supposed to be my absolute minimum weight for weigh-in but they've stopped saying anything to me when I'm below that. I guess they realize that I'm healthy and my weight is staying steady.
I've switched back to digital tracking on my eTools. I discovered a few more features of the Weight Watchers app that makes it less frustrating to track that way. Plus, you knew I couldn't resist the digital stickers, right?? So far so good!
In other news...my nephews closed on my sister's house at the end of June so there's another ending to this chapter. And there's only one box left here of things they need to decide on and that job is finished also.
I put together a keepsake box of Jan's most precious treasures and we'll be storing that here, saving it for when the grandbabies start arriving, Lord-willing! Oh yeah...my nephew, John Chase, got engaged = )
We're also saving some childhood books for the grandkids and, of course, the pictures, albums and scrapbooks.
Next Wednesday will be 6 months that Jan's been gone...1/2 a year already. Amazing all the events that happen within 6 months. Life is precious, be thankful for every single day God gives you. I know I am!
The other day I was strongly convicted of all the days I spent in the past wishing I was dead and planning how to be dead. How wrong I was = ((
Every day is a gift from God, every breath I take is not to be taken for granted. Each day holds opportunities to learn, to love, to serve, to give, to enjoy.
Yes, there will be heartaches and pain...and on a regular basis. Those are all under God's control also...that as we walk through them we have the opportunity to LIVE and glorify Him. This is my heart's cry every morning as I take my first waking breath..."thank You, God, for this new day...please help me to live for You and glorify You in all I do and say".
