Thank you Joyce. I am so proud of you too and I am so sorry you had such a horrible night. Pressure sores are the worst.....such naggy things they always let us know they are there. I am also proud of you because you write on here when you are in such pain you are wonderful support Joyce, I mean that with all my heart.

Thursday is beautiful here in Michigan, except we still need rain, badly. It is sunny and 54 degrees. My meat loaf last night came out wonderful. Marv took some in his lunch and I had a slice too. It's always better the next day. Tonight I am grilling rib chops with spaghetti squash and the rest of the veggies roasted, from last night. I am drinking a lot more water, my body is happy.

I want to remember always how much better I feel when I am doing this way of eating. It is amazing. I've missed the creative thinking that goes along with cooking George's recipes and how much fun it is much better than just sticking anything that is in front of my mouth. Conscience choices are much better for me.

I hope you all are doing great, I know it is not easy all the time and there have been plenty of times when that phrase "just one bite won't hurt" but for me it's that bite and 30 more bites and fighting more bites the next day. A dear friend used to say let's just take baby steps one day or one meal at a time, it was/is good advice for me even today.

GRATS/PONDERINGS:

Thank you to all active and non-active military men and women and their families.

Baby steps

SS and FB friends/family

Fall weather is upon us

Still struggling with portion control. I know for some on SS it doesn't matter so much but for whatever reason it matters to my body.

Blessings, Marylyn
