Still Going Down .... Slowly

Another pound this week.  I'll get there eventually.

Books ....

What I just finished .....

What I'm about to start ......

Reading .... Again ....

Back on the reading kick again.  Physical books this time vs the Nook because Mom gave me a bunch this weekend.

One of them was James Patterson's "Worst Case".  Unfortunately it is third in a series, so off to the library I went to check out the first one.  While typically you do not have to read the books in order as each book is a new case each case gets solved independently of previous cases, there are recurring characters in the series so I like to try to read them in order if I can.  At the very least, I want to read the first one first.

So I am now reading "Step On A Crack".  It's introducing a new character/series .... Michael Bennett.  So far it's very good.  Very James Patterson.  Very good.  ;-)

Tuesday Ticker .... Week 8

Only 0.8 pounds this week.  Sigh ....

Sunday morning I was actually down another 0.4 but since Tuesday is my official weigh in day, I will just have to re-lose that other 0.4 before I can count it.   

Tuesday Ticker ....

Another ONE pound this week. 

 I was aiming for two, but that doggone caramel macchiato creamer kinda messed up my calorie counts for a couple of days, LOL.  Back to black!!

So far, the only week I haven't lost at least a pound was the week I was on vacation.

My Cup Has Overflowed ....

I repost this from time to time, just to remind myself how good I've really got it. 

(And because I really love Jimmy Dean).

Here is Jimmy's recitation .... you can follow along with the lyrics below if you want.

Drinking From My Saucer

I've never made a fortune,
It's probably too late now.
Oh, but I don't worry about that much,
'Cause I'm happy anyhow.

As I go along life's journey,

I'm reaping better than I sowed.

I'm drinking from my saucer,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Ain't got a lot of riches,

Sometimes the going's rough.

But I've got a friend in Jesus,

And that makes me rich enough.

I thank God for all His Blessings on me,

And the mercy that He's bestowed.

I'm drinking from my saucer,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Oh sure, I've been thru some storms,

And yes, I'm sure there were times when my,

Well, my Faith must have got a little thin,

But you know what it seemed like?

One day all at once, those dark clouds broke,

And that old sun, she started shinin' again.

So Lord, help me not to grumble and complain,

About the tough rows I have hoed.

I'm drinking from my saucer,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

And if I should go on living,

If the way gets steep and rough.

I won't ask for other Blessings,

'Cause I'm already Blessed enough.

May I never be too busy,

To help another bear his load.

And I'll keep drinking from my saucer, Lord,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Yes, I'll keep drinkin' from my saucer, Lord,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

My Cup Has Overflowed.

Tuesday Ticker ....

Ta Daaaaaa!

Since I didn't report in last week (vacation) this is a two week report .... 

in two weeks (counting vacation) I lost THREE pounds! Yay me!!

My Girl ......

Vacation Aftermath ....

I didnt get to report in on Tuesday last week ... since I was on VACATION! :-)

In spite of not keeping up with what I ate, and not "eating healthy" all the time, I only gained 0.5 pounds for the week (from Saturday til Thursday).  Not too bad I'd say.

I'll be reporting in this Tuesday.  Not sure what the numbers will be after eating at Mom's house two days in a row! LOL.  Although today it is grilled burgers, and I will limit myself to one (with no chips!)
