Merry Christmas to all...

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. This year seemed to go by really fast. I lost a total of 35 pounds. Lost my mom in August, and my best friend died in Oct. One son graduated from college.. another will be graduating from high school next year. Quite the year-- aye ? The holidays, this year, are especially overwhelming to me. The weather in New Orleans has just been wet, crappy, and humid. Over 21 inches this month alone. On a bright note, I was able to capture the video... A rainbow, in the midst of tornado warnings, raining all day, with colder weather scheduled for Christmas day. May the joy of the birth of Jesus be with everyone this Christmas morning. Blessings to yall.

Tenacity

Tencity is more than hanging on... which may be but the weakness of being too afraid to fall off. Tenacity is the supreme effort of a man refusing to believe that his hero is going to be conquered... Remain spiritually tenacious.

Oswald Chambers

We say goodbye to October. It has been quite a LONG, enduring month for me here. I long for November, cold weather, and good cheer to all...

Hope is the thing...

Hope is the thing...


Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.


- Emily Dickinson

1 Year Low Carb Anniversary !!!

Hi,

Just wanted to let everyone know that today, I celebrate the date I began my low carb diet.

Its been a long journey, indeed.

I've had much encouragement from friends and family. I've strugled with weight loss, hair loss, and people thinking I was stricken by cancer, or had my stomach stapled.

WHY must the world believe that some things in life CANNOT be achieved without a little determination and true grit.

Doing the low carb thang has been a lifestyle change for me. I believe the unique idea I like about this type of diet is that I was hardly ever hungry. I did not have to count fat grams, or calories. When there was a problem with my carb count, I satisfied it with making my own low carb bread in my breadmaker.

All of these examples can be found at the beginning of my Jimmy Moore low carb blog challenge

HERE

(It seems that blogspot can only hold a certain amount of info on its server.. blah)

I've lost 35 pounds in all, down to about 129. I'd like to thank everyone for your support, and PLEASE keep on posting your comments.

I'm still watching my low carb intake and EXERCISING !!

Have a Blessed Day !
