It's TUESDAY! And since its CHOOSEDAY: Choose to Smile Choose to be Happy Choose to Love Choose to Bless Choose to be a Blessing Choose t be Humble Choose o be Patient Choose to be Kind... and above all Choose God to guide your Life. HAPPY TUESDAY!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful ChooseDay!! I am having a pretty good day, nothing to complain about, so I guess that makes it good...

So far we have a few small leads on the ancestry front. My sister doesnt understand why he would want to find them when he has a family, but I get it. I feel like I would always wonder what they were like, or what they looked like. I know that many people who are adopted never look for their birth parents, but I dont think I could go through life not knowing. I wouldnt want to know why they did it, I would just want to know what they looked like. I feel like thats where he is, he just wants to see them. To see where his brown eyes come from, since his mom and family all have blue eyes. Its a curiosity thing I guess.

I havent gotten a new scale yet. I am still looking for one. Honestly, though, I need to get one soon because I feel like not seeing where I am and my progress puts me in the mindset that I am failing. I feel fat, I feel like I am gross and gaining weight. I may not be, because I am being careful with my intake, but mentally, I am my own worst enemy.

We had grilled steak, chicken, burgers and veggies last night. It was a Keto feast!! There was eggplant, zucchini, summer squash. The family all had buns, but I ate mine without. It was great!! They did roast marshmallows, and I found out that just one wouldnt kick me over the carb limit so I had a roasted marshmallow and honesty, I do not regret it. My niece roasted it for me, she was so proud of herself. I enjoyed the evening. Even though there has been tension in the house, we put it aside and had a great evening.

Today I will pray for people's hearts, that they are kind to each other even when they do not agree. I will pray for strength to continue on this journey, even when I feel like I am failing or feel like giving up. I will pray for success and growth. I will pray that this day teaches me something new and gives me a new appreciation for the people in my life. I will pray we all have victories, that we reach a goal, or see a difference. I will pray for willpower and I will thank the Lord for all the things I have already overcome. In the glorious name of Jesus, amen!!!

Remember, we are all on a path, and while you may not agree with the direction of my path, we are all going to the same place....Better Health!! Build each other up, do not knock each other down!! Be kind to each other!!

Thank you!! And dont apologize. We all have our own opinions, and I took yours to heart, I know that, should his bio-family be unwanting or unkind, it would hurt him and I know that it might be best not to find them. I just want him to know that I support whatever choice he makes in regards to that.

Ancestry: I would also wonder, but I don't have to. My family is traced. Others deserve to know, but some don't care. Scale: I don't have a scale, but my grocery store has a Higi machine. Find one near you at higi.com. It's free.

When I first started my journey..I didn’t have a scale. I had to weigh in at my doctors every few months so I understand the “not knowing where you are”. But then again, there’s no daily number to obsess over lol. Just keep eating right and go by how you feel and how your clothes fit! My dad never knew his real father and his mother took that secret to her grave. We are currently finding some dna matched relatives as well. We want to know for many of the same reasons your husband does. Genetic health reasons, our ancestry..etc. I pray his search goes well and he finds solid answers.

Just a side note from personal experience. My sister and I have different fathers. Her biological dad died one week before she was born. My dad (OUR dad) met my mother when she was in the hospital just after my sister was born. They were married about a year or so later. My sister has been sick her entire life with one wierd thing after another. Serious stuff. Has almost died several times. I took over the research and medical oversite of her care about 30 years ago. Learned a lot and learned to stand my ground and demand what I wanted. That’s another story entirely. Eventually I decided that her issues had to be genetic and started studying genetic illnesses etc. the doctors were of no help. Medical care is too fragmented. I was the only one with the big picture. I finally decided that she has undiagnosed multiple sclerosis. I started looking for her father’s family and two years ago a name popped up under the PEOPLE YOU MIGHT KNOW section. I reached out to them and the family has a significant MS history of MS and several people who died very young. At our age it may be too late for treatment to be effective, but she is happy knowing that she isn’t crazy or a hypochondriac, or have mental illness. I personally believe that getting your DNA tested is very important. The stuff that is coming down the line would stagger your imagination. I had ours done— $200 through 23 and me. Amazed at what it showed blew me away. If you have parents still alive give ito them as a Christmas gift. Men carry both the X andY chromosome, so they get the DNA testing from both parents. Women only carry the X so women need their father or brother to test as well in order to get a complete profile. My brother declined to participate, but even so I learned that I carry a recessive gene for a couple of afflictions that are of no importance to me but had my children or now my niece and nephew married someone with the same gene it would be a problem— a serious problem. Now is the time to begin to collect data on your genetics. Had we had some of this info from my sisters biological family coupled with what I now know about genetics, she may have been saved 50 years of suffering.
