This one September 2017.
Most days I don’t see the difference in my weight loss especially when I know I have gained weight this past month. These pictures help. I know that I have lost a substantial amount of weight. I know that it wasn’t easy, and I still have a ways to go.
These pictures help me see some accomplishment, and I really did need to see them this week.
Blessings.

A quick and easy recipe for boneless pork chops. I used an egg bath with Maggie sauce for added flavor. Seasoned the pork with salt and pepper, dredged in the egg mixture and then in Panko breadcrumbs that I added Italian seasoning. 
Placed on a foil lined baking sheet, and baked at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes as these chops were thin. They still turned out moist. Of course, I forgot to take pictures of the dredging process.
They were good, and pretty easy to prepare and cook. Twenty minutes bake time with maybe 10 minutes of prep time. 
Simple. Quick. Yummy.
Blessings.
“We can’t grow in knowledge and grace and never change our minds. When an identity is built solely on a fixed systematic theology, we’re terrified to change our minds. Let’s grow in knowledge.” – Beth Moore
“Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” – 2 Peter 3:18 (NET)
Grow…it is hard to think the same way all of the time. To change, or grow in our thoughts is difficult. Thoughts impact actions. I want to change my thoughts, opinions, and actions. Growing is hard. Changing is difficult.
So I come back to baby steps. One day at a time, one moment at a time. Taking time to believe in myself, and giving thanks whenever I can. Every step we take impacts the moment after. Do we not take the step if we don’t know the future steps? We always go forward, but do we go in God’s grace?
Reflecting today. Taking in God’s grace. Taking a step forward in the knowledge of His love.
Blessings.

I found this recipe at Dinner at the Zoo.
We had our couples weekend, and this was our night to cook.
We used canned chicken, and used extra sauce, and tortillas. It turned out super yummy. It was better the second day. The last picture is all I could eat. My eyes were much bigger than my stomach.
Blessings!
Monday is okay after a restful weekend with friends.
Blessings.
Friendship.
I don’t have family that lives close. I have lost most of my immediate family too early I believe. I am blessed with having friends that I consider family.
So very grateful for the friends I have today…in this journey.
Blessings.
Well, today is Friday, October 13th. I don’t really like this date, but I discovered it is also Silly Sayings Holiday. I am good with this date now! It makes this Friday the 13th a little different.
So…one of my favorite sayings is: I must be a Queen…it says so on my pantyhose!
But, when I am frustrated….Dadburnit…comes out of my mouth or Jiminy Cricket. Sometimes I curse (okay – a lot), and I can say that I have been trying not to as much lately.
What sayings do you say that you consider silly?
Blessings – today and always!
