Thursday is just a Friday teaser!!

Happy Thursday everyone!! I do hope that we are all doing well today!! I have my coconut coffee and 32oz of water at my desk ready to KILL IT!!! I am haing a good day, I got a youtube mix of 50s,60s,&70s playing in the background. I am set up for a good day. I will make it a good day, no matter what comes my way...we will see how that goes!! haha

When I was a kid, we used to take Saturday morning and clean the house, myself, my older siblings and my mom. She would put on 8tracks or pull out the record player. We would clean our butts off for one whole song, and then the next song we would hula hoop, jump rope, play jacks, or whatever and then when that song ended, we would go back to cleaning. We would usually have the whole house done in just an hour or so. Those are some of my favorite memories, even though we were cleaning, she made it fun for us. We had no idea that we were doing chores. This youtube mix that I am listening to, reminds me of that.

So I couldn't help myself, I stepped on the scale again this morning, even though I told myself I would wait for Friday for the official weigh in. I was a whole pound lighter and I was wearing clothes this time!! I am floored at how much weight I am losing. I cant get over it!!! I am 4lbs away from being UNDER 400lbs!! I just cannot believe it...I am really doing it this time!! I am working hard and seeing results!! Its amazing!!

My wedding rings need to be sized, but I keep telling my husband that I dont want to do it until I am wear I want to be. Gold will not handle resizing very much and this ring was his mothers engagement ring, so its from 1968, I dont want anything to happen to it. The wedding band is replaceable, but the engagement ring is not. I would rather wait, and if they get to the point of falling off, I will wear them on a chain until the time is right.

Oh, I bought Jergens Firming Glow lotion, to get a fake tan for the wedding at the end of the month, and I have found that it is firming up my loose chin skin a little bit. Not much, but its a little tighter. It could just be time has helped heal it, but I want to believe that this lotion that I paid $11 for at walgreens is doing it because I could have gotten it at walmrt for $8. haha.

Today I will pray that my attitude stays hopeful and pure, that my mind stays focused on the good and my spirit stays joyful. I will thank God for all the blessings that I have been given and give praise for the times of trouble, for they have taught me to be strong and to persevere no matter the situation. I will pray that my family and friends (all of you) are blessed beyond measure and that we all see the powerful love of God in our lives today. I will sing joyful songs to the Lord and stay the course He has led me to. In Jesus holy name, Amen!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful day full of victory and triumph. Keep pressing forward, pushing the boulders and coming out on top. We can do this!!! #FightGrindRepeat #StayTheCourse

Great post, Klynn! Reminds me of this, also from St. Paul: "...[W]hatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." (Philippians 4:8)

I was a 60’s/70’s kid— it was a fabulous time to be young and we did have the best ever music.

@Kenna, I can imagine. People werent afraid to let their kids out to play, were open to being friendly and getting to know each other. I would have loved to grow up then. I was born in 1982, but have a vast appreciation of music from all eras. 70s folk is some of my favorites. 50s do-wop, 80s bubblegum, there is just so much to appreciate. lol ~~~~~****~~~~~~ Thank you everyone!! I am excited about where life is leading me. I hope you all are too!!

super post, thank you for all your uplifting words. I actually can 'see' your genuine smile as I read them :-) AND wonderful cleaning idea, I am going to borrow that when my grandson comes to visit in August! I hate to clean and that is a wonderful idea, I'll probably do it myself since my apartment is in need of a really good Saturday cleaning!!!

I think my kids still would have complained about cleaning, ha. You must have been a good girl :) It's awesome you have those memories and cheers to another pound in the wind!

I just read that the only way to moisturize skin is to apply lotions and not drinking more water like they used to say so the tan stuff is probably actually helping your skin.

@Peasy, she would sometimes make it a competition, because we are all ridiculously competitive, and whoever had the most jumps in one song or the most hula hoops without it dropping, would get to pick where we went for lunch or what we had for dinner. It was honestly a lot of fun. I was a decent kid, had a bit a lying streak, but I tried. lol
