This is the day the LORD has made and I WILL REJOICE and be GLAD in it. I'm thankful for this wonderful day. The sun is shining and it isn't hot. There's a lovely breeze and temps are in the low 70s F. I'm thankful for church this morning. I got hugs, listened to a wonderful message, and helped with a fundraiser for the kids who are going to camp this month. Last month it was the older kids. This month is for the 3rd through 6th-grade kids. I'm thankful for the Bible study this morning. It took a bit of reading to get to the next Scripture for today's study. I'm thankful I have all my fitness goals completed. Maybe this month I can lose weight. One of the gentlemen at church this morning said I look slimmer. If I were to go by my clothes and not the scale, I would agree with him. I must be gaining muscle which takes up less space, but also seems to keep the scale about the same. So, today's weight is 179.8. That's up from 175.2 from last month. Enough about that. I'm thankful I have the notifications finished and could spend time with you today. Okay, that's my day. I'm going to watch my shows and then go to bed in a couple of hours so I can wake refreshed for the pool tomorrow. How is your day? What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

I'm happy you reached your goals. You're right. My mother used to tell me muscle weighs more than fat, so you really need to take the scale with a grain of salt. Once the water weight comes off, then you'll start to see smaller declines in the numbers on the scale. But it'll show in other ways, such as in how lclothes fit, energy levels etc.

So far so good. This morning I tried rawa dosa. About 15 days ago, I got it beautifully, today ..I made a mess of it...a tad mad at the pan and gas stove and spatula, and the dough and water. But not at me. You see, I am never wrong.

I am thankful to begin the new month with a new opportunity of becoming a part of Girl Boss Boutique! I had a great month of sales in July and can't wait to see what August will bring. We have a brand new website and a new product drop with more to come monthly until the end of the year! Thankful for the vacation with my daughter and her family and spending time with the grandchildren. Thankful for this week's quiet getaway with my husband. You must be packing on the muscle now, Valerie. It's okay, you will still look leaner! I'm happy for you with your weight loss. You have been on a forward path and stuck to it!

@just4him We are enjoying our stay. We ran to the house today to refill chicken and dog food feeders and check on the house. I didn't fill them all the way since hubby said we were running home one day. I had it figured just right so that worked out well. And I got my swimsuit so tomorrow is pool day after I go mail an Ebay package!

Muscles are heavier than fat, this is a fact. I remember my husband telling to his mother "it's not the weight it's the volume that counts".

@just4him That is a good thing, I also take my measurements every week, stepping on the scale is not enough.

Yes, it is. So, I must be at that stage right now. My clothes continue to get larger on me, so that's a good thing.

They do say that fat gets replaced by muscle but that means the scales won't show a lot of difference.

@kobesbuddy I taught Sunday school for many years. I also taught VBS when I was still in school. I was also an AWANA leader for a few years. Those were all rewarding years.

Sometimes you have to go by inches and not the scale. Are you keeping track of your measurements? It sounds like except for the annoying scale, things are going your way! Don't forget how far you have come!

I've never done measurements. That's what my clothes are doing for me. I have more clothes to get rid of. Yes, I have come a long way. When I saw myself on Zoom last night I was amazed at how far I've come.

As of now my day is going fine. Glad to know that someone in the church appreciate you and said that you are getting slimmer. You might be very happy by his comments and would have realised that your work out is now getting effective

Thank you. I guess that means I'm going to the pool after all this morning instead of back to bed. I've been up since 1 and awake since midnight. I'll go back to bed when I get home. No doubt I'll be ready for a good nap.

I'm thankful for the abundance of zucchini that was shared with the community and I was able to make quite a bit up to freeze. I'm thankful that for the first time in seven years here, my tomatoes are going nuts and I'm having to freeze some for sauces. Every year I've been lucky to get a few in September. I've been picking since early July and there are many more growing.

Sounds like a wonderful day. Pretty roses. A nice quiet day here. 80s, which is better than 90s.
