Friday Five....





  • I can't believe my family reunion beach vacation has actually come together and will happen in just three days!!  
  • Today is a holiday (off work) for me and I love having an extra day for running errands and getting things organized for the beach vacation.  We want to take so much with us!  Our 10x10 tent/canopy and beach umbrellas, chairs, a table for gathering, a few games to play, beach towels, bathing suits, clothes....oh, and a cooler full of breakfast food and snacks and beverages.  Food is less expensive here than over there.  Whew!  
  • How blessed are we to have such good neighbors!  They take care of the cats for us and bring in the mail and newspapers.  We couldn't go like we do if it weren't for them!  (We do the same for them and are happy to do it.)
  • Last evening was my facial appointment.  I go every four weeks and have been for years now.  Dawn has become a friend and we enjoy catching up during my time there.
  • I haven't mentioned it for awhile....that 'change in eating habits' I mentioned a few weeks ago.  I refuse to use the "D" word.  BUT, I have lost 16 pounds, according to my cardiologist's nurse!  I had my 6-month visit there on Tuesday this week and the doctor was very happy with me.  I'm doing LCHF and am really not missing the bread, pasta, and potatoes. 

I wish everyone a good weekend.  Be careful if you are using fireworks.  Be careful if you are watching fireworks.  They are pretty and fun, but can also hurt you.  Enjoy the food and family time!  
Thanks for stopping by today!  Peace & hugs!!  God bless America!

  7. I'm so happy for you and your weight loss. What is LCHF? I have been trying and trying, but I must still be missing something because mine stays right where it is!

    1. Low carb, high fat. I'm eating lots of meat, cheese, eggs and any vegetable that grows above the ground (except corn and easy on the beans). Staying away from high-sugar fruits, potatoes, bread and pasta. Eating lots and lots of salad with high fat dressing. Trying to keep grams of carbs under 75 a day. It's working for me.

  8. Good for you with the weight loss! Terri, I think you're going to have to put a red flag on the back of your car. That sure is a lot of stuff to take. I, for one, am almost as excited as you about your beach holiday with family.

  9. Sooo happy for you, Terri! Wow, what great results. Heard this is a very effective diet. I've lost 8 recently, but that's the chemo steroids increasing my metabolism to uncomfortable levels (yeah, there's a price to pay for being a crack addict ;) So envious of your trip to the coast. Sounds like so much fun. Give my love to your lovely sisters, please and happy trails. Take lots and lots of pix, Sweetie.
