"Every moment spent worrying about 'the way things were' is a moment stolen from creating 'the way things should be'" - Robin Sharma
Happy Sunday everyone!! I hope you are all having a wonderful day!! I know I am! ITs been a busy one, I have listed stuff on Ebay and started cleaning up things. I made my husband and I breakfast this morning, and will be making Gumbo for dinner. I am not going to use seafood, I know not traditional, but I will be using some sausage and some chicken. Its a mix that a friend of mine got me in New Orleans, so I am hoping its good. I have never made gumbo, never even really eaten it, so I guess we shall see.
I am pretty pleased with my drop this week. I knew it was just a matter of time, but I was worried that I had taken so long to get back on keto that I wouldnt do well, but it was just a matter of getting my head in the game. I suffered a little keto flu getting back in, but it wasnt too bad. It was weird, because I didnt suffer it the first time, but I do remember that I ate a lot of pickles that first time, and I didnt do that this time. It was probably a shortage of magnesium and sodium, I need to remember to eat pickles, or at least drink the juice. I have a slight head cold, so its causing a headache, so I need to do that anyway to combat that. I hate headaches, I have suffered them my whole life, allergies and stuff, and these last few days have been pretty bad. I am trying not to complain though, because what good does that do?!
I have been wearing a size 34 jeans for a long long time, I recently bought a bag of clothes off craigslist for 40 bucks, and it was 13 pairs of pants in a size 28. They all fit!! I was so excited. I kept 10 of them, so that really helped. The other 3 were either not my style, or just didnt feel good. Two were peddle pushers, and I have ugly ankles so I got rid of them and one was a pair of yellow and brown plaid dress pants that I cannot imagine anything matching. The others were all jeans that were cute, so I was really happy. I bought them, sight unseen, so I didnt really know what I was getting into. It was nice to put on a size 28 and have them fit, some are even a bit too big!! I have a size 26, a 24, and a 22 for when I am ready, too!! I am so excited to finally be getting into sizes that I can buy in the store!! Ordering clothes online is such a gamble!
Speaking of buying clothes in the store, I am going to post a picture of my husband and I at Halloween, we went as a plague doctor and the plague. I was the plague, I was able to get a costume off the rack at the Halloween store!! It was amazing!! I cried when I tried them on, and was able to fit in them. It has been years since I was able to do that! I used the horns from a Maleficent costume, and then the dress and cape from a witch costume. It was a throw together, because we were in the middle of packing to move, but I think we did pretty good!!
Today I will thank God for another week, and another day to proclaim his greatness. I will praise him for the support and success that I have felt this week. I will ask that he touches and blesses each and every one of you with the same love and blessings that I feel that He has blessed me with. I pray for healing, strength and successes for us all. In Jesus name, Amen!!
Be good to yourselves, because you are the person you will be spending the rest of your life with!! Oh, and I just wanted to say again, thank you for all the love and support that you have given to me!! You are all the most amazing people!! Love you!!!
