Thursday ~ Good Morning All
Good morning. Praying the day brings many blessings this day to each of you and those you love.
I am having a stay at home day after a day of errands and grocery shopping yesterday. Doing laundry, cleaning, checking to see if my roommate's new Shark cleaner is on the recall list, making two soups ~ a Chinese egg drop tofu soup and chilli using some black bean burgers crumbed in it (this will be put in small containers for me and frozen).
Been throwing old ratty clothes that are way too big and more holey than sacred. Found a swim suit for $5, two altletic pants for $8 each shorts and matching top for $4 each at the close out section at the Marc's grocery store. Yeah... size 2x and they fit. The suit is a little snug, but it won't fall off my bum like my other suits do (yeah...clothes that are too big are cause for celebration.).... Today my weigh was 235 or less for threr days in a row... down from max weight of 390 (357 at surgery on 12/23/13. Steadily working to my goal of 180. I am getting stronger thanks to some suggestions from a friend who is studying to be a physical trainer. I am pretty much on target to meet my goal to walk 3 miles with a cane by June.
Well, got to get going.
I read your posts daily and send my best to all of you, particularly Vickie and Butch.
You each inspire me in your unique ways. Thank you for being you.

I want to get some good tofu....I love it in stir fry's. Are your Black Bean Burgers from "Morning Star"? I buy that brand and they are delicious!! I never thought of putting tofu in egg drop soup. I bet that is really good too!! Do you have a good egg drop soup recipe?

Francine ...I wasn't sure when you looked at Kathy's post. I left a message there. Vickie left one later. Vickie said they don't know anything yet. They will get results later today. Vickie will try to post this evening.
I know how much Vickie appreciates you keeping them in your thoughts and prayers.
Love and oodles of hugs....connie d
