Braces, Cows and Weight Loss

Another weigh in day. Another pound down. I hate the slow moving scale, but at least it is moving. YEAH!!!

Poor little Jacob got his braces yesterday and is miserable. I remember how sore my mouth was years ago and I feel for him. Nowadays they put colored bands in their mouth (if they want) so he chose carolina blue and white. One of his best friends since elementary school was in the chair next to him and got his braces on as well. That was kinda neat and made the experience a little less anxious for both of them. I loaded him up on Motrin this morning so hopefully it will last through the day.

Saturday we got a new calf to replace ole Red. He's a black angus and just as cute as can be. Since Jacob was getting his braces on this week, Hubby grilled some steaks Sunday and they were soooo tender and delicious. Yes, it was Red! I only had a small piece since I'm watching what I eat, but it was good. Yes, I know this was the same cow I was crying over a few weeks ago, but this is the reason we have them. I just have to stay away from the calf.

I'm off today to get my nails done and a little bit of pampering. We all need that every once in a while.

Lord help me to be joyful and thankful for all that I have.

Good job on the weight loss! You look great! I have a "Jacob" too, but he's almost 21 years old!
