Debbie Cousins's Journal, 15 Jul 21

Down another 8/10ths of a pound this morning from 206 to 205.2. I've ben at or over 205.4 since July 7th, so this puts me lower than I've been in over a week. Progress! Today, I have a lot of running to do. Have to leave the house at 9 for PT at 9:30, then as soon as that is over, go to BJ's to grocery shop for us AND my son's family. (Praying for the sale of his wife's mother's house that she inherited, so they will be able to pay their own bills again!) My daughter is also in financial straits right now, as there was a glitch in her unemployment, and they are over three weeks behind in paying her. She has food money because she gets "food stamps" (EBT?) from the government, so she only needs help with non-food items like toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, gas, cigarettes (which I HATE paying for!), toiletries, etc.

After the 1-1/2+ hours of grocery shopping, I have a phone Bible Study discussion. The good news about my busy-ness is that I won't be eating as much. When I'm just sitting at home, I eat a lot out of boredom. I'll have the kids for the pool again tomorrow (OUR pool), so that will be another busy day - with me having them from 10am until 3:30pm.

Feeling good about how things are going lately. It looks like my metabolism has settled at a good place, where it is actually possible for me to LOSE weight by cutting calories. Hallelujah!

OK, better get started on that Bible Study so I'll be ready for my 12:15 phone call!

I don't know how much your daughter smokes, but if it's more than a pack a day you have options. While you can't make your daughter quit smoking, you can help her cut back on how much she smokes. I quit back in 2000, COLD TURKEY as a 2 - 2 1/2 pack a day smoker. Yep - even though I upped my daily exercise, I replaced my cigarettes with Jolly Ranchers and gained 80 lbs in a matter of months! Might have been different if I'd cut back first, SO when you can ONLY afford to buy her 2-3 cartons a month, that will force her to cut back to a pack or less a day, and maybe help her replace the cigarettes with a healthier habit.

Slowly, but surely wins the race. =)
