Good morning, Friends...It's been a rather busy week for us. Cooking, cleaning, Ruth Ann's knee surgery and Easter.
Hope you all enjoyed the holiday and rejoiced in His gift of life...to us.
Sloane was, in particular, interested in what the rose smelled like...lolol
Very interesting! lol... We think she liked it. Her hands and face a bit dirty from running around the yard picking up bunny eggs...Why is the egg a symbol of Easter? The eggs represent new life...so sweet.
Samantha, Sloane and Everett...
Sopapilla Cheese Cake... SO good!! (There again, I got to have one tablespoon of it while family ate the rest.)
Air fryer "chicken fried steak"...Batter was egg wash and ground up pork rinds. Good and satisfied my "crunch" desire. And a very small amount of potato soup...I still lost weight. You can have a cheat day, once a week...but I don't usually do it.
The G key on my new computer was hard to hit, causing me to make mistakes when I typed.
I popped the letter G off the board to see the problem. The rubber key stop was misaligned...so, I placed a tiny bit of paper towel on top of the rubber then put the key back on. Much better but sad that it's a new keyboard and I had to make the adjustment!
My roses are blooming everywhere!
Cinnamon rolls done in my Cosori air fryer...Larry said he loved them!
Believe it or not...I am now down 7.7 lbs! I'm pretty excited about it. I just eat locarb or no carb...any kind of meat...cheeses...fish...occasional piece of fruit... Coffee with my usual creamer but I changed from regular sugar to monk fruit sugar. It tastes just like sugar but it's healthy. Pounds are coming off in ounces but that's fine with me. I've had a few 1-pound losses but only two. Slow and steady! I don't want to have to do this again! And I refuse to buy a new wardrobe! And I continue to walk 3-5000 steps a day. I'm far from being obese...not even close...but...when you feel fat...do something about it. My sister, Ruth Ann, underwent knee surgery yesterday...her weight, over the years, caused her knee bones to grind on one another. Now they're bone on bone...both of them. I have to pick her up today from the hospital. Hopefully, she did as the nurses asked and got out of the bed and walked. We'll see when I get there. The operation only took an hour!
Easter goodies for Sloane...
I made a banana pudding... (no, I didn't have a bowl, but I did enjoy a spoonful...lol...still lost weight and got to satisfy my tastebuds at the same time.
Larry and family enjoy my baked goods. Larry can just turn over in bed and drop 20 pounds...lol
When Ruth Ann gets nervous, she talks...constantly...to the nurses...doctors...holding them up from doing their jobs. I had to finally step in and gain some control of the situation by "gently" reminding her that the more she held these people up...the longer she'd be there. She took my meaning. Her doctor finally stopped in before surgery, and before he left the room, prayed for her and his hands to be guided by God. I loved it! And it calmed Ruth Ann right down. I also have her permission to take photos of her to post on my blog, only. I have a Facebook account...have had since 2009. I really don't post much over there anymore. I'm finding some of the people I follow to be posting some silly garbage, games, memes...not from their lives...hence, I'm not there much...I just mainly keep up with a few sweet friends and family. And yes...If you're a blogger friend, I keep up with you!
Well, I guess I've bored you enough this morning...I know you are excited to get to work or that laundry...lol
Have a bright and beautiful day!
Until next time...
