Finally the Scale Goes Down!!

Peoples Gifs Images - MySpace Layouts, MySpace GraphicsWhat a great way to start my day! YIPPEE YAHOO!! Finally the scales are going down.  I’m embarassed to say I topped out at a whopping 215 pounds.  The Biggest ever in my whole life “sigh”  Today the scales were 214.  Anything is an accomplishment to me…no matter how small its going in the right direction!!! YES YES!!

Leaving in a couple minutes to go for Diabetic Counseling.  My levels are elevated but not at the “diabetic stage as yet” so my primary doctor wants me to go for counseling and learn how NOT to become a diabetic.  I’m looking forward to it.  Knowledge is power!!!  Hopefully I’ll come away with some exciting new recipes I can share (Shanna)!!! and with everyone here!

Ok, letter of the day is…………………..

Alphabet Soup for the Soul:

Letter X:  This letter is a mathematical symbol for the unknown. Let it be a reminder to accept that much about life and God is a mystery. Learn to be responsive and comfortable with the unknown. When the patriarch Abraham was called by God to leave his country and friends, he responded not knowing exactly what God was calling him to do and where he was to go.

Wow…thats really hits home for one of my buddys going through a rough time today.  Love to all my buddys here.  God bless you all and keep you healthy and happy always.

    Every pound is a big help! Less flesh to have to pump blood to. They all count. Hope you get a lot out of your pre-diabetes class. I went for two weeks and really profited from it. Love, Marge

    So THAT’S what the “x” stood for in math. No flippen wonder I almost failed Algebra. LOL

    HIGH FIVERS on the one pound down lady! If anyone deserves that loss, you do. :)

    Can’t wait to hear all about your visit with the dietician. I’m sure it will help you tremendously.
