All I can say is Well *whew* and :(. I’m down 1 from last week at least. Just was hoping that it was some crazy “that time of the month” thing that would disappear this week. I’m down 1. Sort of.
Hoping there’s a new challenge coming soon?

Sorry for the poor timing on this one. I have been sick for the past several days. And I broke some weight records…in the wrong direction. But, I am going to pick myself up and, like my son, say - “Oh well!”
No loss. Much gain. (How many do-overs [...]

Overwhelmed with work. Forgot to post this earlier - of course I was unenthusiastic about the content I needed to post, but this is life. Up 3.

Well, I got another flash of revelation from my Heavenly Father this evening. I asked in my last post what all this loitering in my weight meant. God’s letting me see how successful I am when I go it alone. You see, I’m a very, very stubborn girl. I don’t want [...]

Well, that’s not quite the right analogy, but it’s what popped into my head. In my illness and my quiet reflective time, I have learned what it means to be weak.
I MUST embrace (or more accurately, fully accept) my weakness. And I must practice being strong with God’s strength.
And that means I must [...]

Rebirthing, Skillet
I have once again realized that I’d lost my music.
This song is bringing it back.
