…in my little corner of the world!
After 4 weeks of my new season of restraint I’m friends with my scale again.
One more quarter of a pound and I will have lost 10 pounds!! Yes, when you need to lose weight you count fractions of pounds lost. I still have a way to go but I don’t cringe when I step on the scale anymore. That’s a good thing. Maybe in another 4 weeks I’ll report my progress again.
Before I go I wanted to share this photo of Josh and Laura at the last Sounders game we went to together.
Love these kids of ours! Love all our kids but I don’t have current photos of the others…
Today (Monday) I made borsch and I’ll share my method with new photos tomorrow. We always joke around our house that I am inspired to make soup on the hottest days of the year. Today wasn’t the hottest but it is warm again. We are still dry and will be for a while longer which means I have to keep watering.
Update on my mom: My mom’s MRI confirms the fact that she had a small stroke in the back of her brain. She will probably be able to go home tomorrow. Thanks so much for your concern and prayers for my mom. I so appreciate my blogging friends!!

Hip, hip hooray!!!!!!!! I’m glad for your victory in the battle of the bulge, and I’m SUPER glad to know your Mom will be going home soon. I wish her a full recovery, and I wish you success as you continue to drop those pounds a quarter at a time! 🙂 Have a great week!!!
Oh I need to follow your good example, but I’ve got a Snickers bar waiting for me in the cupboard. I’ll share some with John. ;>
Wow. They send folks home quickly. I join you in wishing your mother a return to excellent health and that this will have been a mere blip. Prayer does change things.
Vee I can still eat snickers but it has to be the snack size!!
Wow Ellen – congrats on the weight loss! 10 lbs. is a lot!!! Just visualize 10 lbs. of butter – that’s how much you lost…….good for you!!! I too have lost some weight recently – mostly because we were too busy to eat – l0l. I’m afraid it shall return once our lives return to normal around here – sigh!
So glad to hear that your mom is going home and seems to be doing better.
I’m so proud of you for your determination to get those pounds off. Way to go! You always look lovely to me but I bet it feels good.
Thinking of your mom in prayer!
All very good news! Congratulations!
Gotta love that stadium so color co-ordinated! Josh and Laura are such a good looking couple!
Congrats on becoming friends with your scale again. I jump up and down a few pounds a day, so it would be hard to cound 1/4 of a pound.
Josh and Laura are great poster ‘children’ for your favorite team!
I really am in the mood for soup as well, but am thinking it would make more sense to wait for a rainy day. But I don’t make sense a lot of the time anyhow!
Is that a subtle request for pics? Andrew and I may go to the range tomorrow and if so I’ll try to get a pic of us having some fun 😛
Yes, please…
