Friday Funnies Christmas edition #2

Merry Christmas! Welcome to our Friday Funnies Christmas edition. Are you getting into the Christmas spirit? I am. I have our little tree up and my hubby has decorated the living room with lights and a Christmas village. Soon it will be time for him to begin torturing me with presents he won't let me open (our own special tradition). But in the meantime, how about a giggle or 2??


So cute, Santa's gonna have to let him help!

 
Talk about a dilemma, what's a man to do?? ;)

 
hehehe

 
One problem, in my house there are no dogs, we know exactly who to blame!!

Merry Christmas! Have a wonderful day! :)

Weigh in Wednesday #6

Blah!

My current number look like this:

Weight: 254.2lbs
Fasting blood sugar: 91

I have been blogging about this for 6 weeks now and my net loss has amounted to 2lbs.

Blah!

Now if you will excuse me, I am going to go walk and fantasize about hot fudge sundays.

Friday Funnies Christmas edition

Welcome to the Christmas edition of Friday Funnies! I have been hoarding up the Christmas memes for at least a month now, like a squirrel with nuts for the winter. So, we should have enough for the whole month! :)


I think Santa might have had too many Christmas cookies! And maybe so kiddos might be getting coal in their stockings!
This one just makes me giggle!
And this one made me LOL!
But this one, this one is just flat out truth. We haven't had a full size tree with ornaments in YEARS for this very reason!
 
I love the magic and all out fun of Christmas. The decorations and the lights everywhere, the Christmas songs playing on the radio. Santa and Rudolph, Frosty the Snowman, these are part of the magic, but they are not the reason. For me, the reason is Christ. His birth, the beginning of his journey through life and to the cross. The Prince of Peace. I am saved by his sacrifice. And I am grateful. Merry Christmas!

Weigh in Wednesday #5 (Post Thanksgiving addition)

I haven't been blogging much. I didn't even do my Friday Funnies last week and that is the easiest post to create as there is very little thought required! I just haven't been feeling very bloggy for a while now. I sit down at the computer and all my thoughts disappear.

Currently my oldest fur baby, Jonah, is attempting to crawl in my lap. He is 19 years old and is really starting to show his advanced age. He is losing some weight and sleeping a lot more. And wanting to cuddle. He has always loved me best but he has never really been a lap cat. He will sit beside me on the couch but hated to be held. But lately when I sit down he crawls up on my lap and just purrs his heart out. I love it, but I worry. I am not ready to let my baby go!

  
Jonah

Anyway! Here are my current numbers:

Weight: 254.8lbs  (last week 254lbs, up 0.8lbs)
Fasting blood sugar: 121 (last week 91)

I actually managed pretty well over the holiday, at least until Sunday. Then I kinda derailed on leftovers and gained 2lbs. All in all I am happy enough with these numbers. I really thought it would be worse!

Me on an average day!
I better run, I have some kitchen cleaning to do and I need to walk a bit before work! I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

God Bless!

Weigh in Wednesday #4 (pre-Thanksgiving addition)

This week has been a struggle. My blood sugar has been a bit wonky and I am not feeling so great. The hubby has been sick and so is my carpool buddy, so Lord only knows what my body is trying to fight off!

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and with it a 4 day weekend for me. So I fully expect that I will be reporting weight gain by this time next week. Well, actually I have to report some weight gain today, since I have gained about a pound since last Wednesday. Here are my current numbers:

Current weight: 254lbs
Current Fasting blood sugar: 99

My weight has been fluctuating a lot over the past week, the highest number being 256. It is so FRUSTRATING!! But I just keep plodding away (literally since my primary exercise at the moment is walking) and trying not to be too discouraged. Life is, after all, a series of hills and valleys, highs and lows. Why would weight loss be any different?

Do me a favor, will you? Keep me in your prayers. And my hubby, he is trying to quit smoking and is really struggling. He wants to quit, but has smoked for his entire adult life, it is a huge part of his day and his identity. He needs God's strength and his inspiration to find a new way to live cigarette free.

Thank you, and Happy Thanksgiving!! :)

Love this!!

Friday Funnies

We have a cold front blowing in, which in this part of Texas means that the temps are dropping from the 70's and 80's into the 40's and 50's. And maybe some 30's at night. Rain is also expected, so I am looking forward to a quiet weekend cuddled up with a good book! :-) 


LOVE HIM!

 
amen! 

 
hehehehe
 

scarey

 
important truth


 And this one is just a reminder. Have a beautiful and blessed day!
