What's the latest and greatest?

Hmmmm, let me think, well, we did have our weigh in yesterday and I can report that I have lost 101.2 pounds in one week! I know that sounds crazy and how could a person lose that much weight in a week? Hey, who am I to question, the mathematicians? They wrote that down on my paper, and I am not questioning it, if they say it's so................................then. If just their mistakes were the truth, just this time!!!!!! And even if losing 101.2 pounds would still leave me at 293.2 pounds, good god! That is still a lot to more to lose. That is so depressing! So, the real truth is I lost 1.2 pounds this week for a total of 25.8.... I got my 25 pound magnet!! The next goal is the 10%.. which means I have to get to 378 lbs. to have lost 10% of my body weight. That is still 15.2 pounds to go! WHEW!!!


My friends Kay lost, 2 pounds, Angela lost 2.8 pounds, Rita lost 1.4 pounds, Debbie lost 3 pounds, Tammy's lost is up to 52.4 pounds!!! If you add all seven up, that I have on the board that is 159.9 pounds!!!! what weighs 160 pounds? I will say the obvious a whole person, or 32-five pound bags of sugar!!! Can you leave a comment on what else you can think of, that weighs 160 pounds? Think about it! You girls should be so proud! I am just too damn proud of you all! Keep it up, and lets all help each other!!!! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Let's see I most definitely been them canning green beans! I canned 48 quarts! and more to go! A lot of work but well worth the effort! ( I think)........Tonight I am working on canning tomatoes. This is the prime time for all this activity, but I still like doing it, it's just seems so much harder this year though. I will post pictures of them when I get that far.

Today my Poppa and Geraldine invited me down to eat crabs, you know I could not say no to that! We had a good time talking about how people lived during the forties around here. I finally took him the book I wanted him to read, so I know there will be lots of feedback on that. He enjoys local history so much. Well, I got to run. I will get back soon! Love ya -mean it!
