Hey gang - my weight is stable, stable.   Hope all of you are making that commitment to weigh daily.   I know that weight is not the only measure of success - but we cannot discount it's power.  I felt from the Lord this morning to encourage EVERYONE to get a partner through this season - someone that DAILY you will share you loss or maintenance with - NOT YOUR ACTUAL weight - your loss or gain category.  I really feel strongly that as we move toward the next six weeks of the journey, the temptation will increase.  But weighing daily will serve as a visual reminder of where we are.  Just sayin.......consider getting a partner.

Publix put their Butterball turkeys on sale yesterday through next Wednesday.   This is the cheapest they will be before the holidays.   Just a shopping tip.  :)

Cranberry sauce - yes - fresh cranberries, water, fresh squeezed orange juice and pulp, xylitol and let this cook down until really thick.   Cool for a couple of days and serve.  YUM!   Added fun, orange zest and chopped pecans the morning before serving.   DOUBLE yum!!!   Thought about another recipe to share this morning - deviled eggs - which change to angel eggs if you delete the sweet pickle relish.   Prepare the eggs as usual, but add Duke's mayo (no sugar in there) and spanish oilves chopped real fine.   Toss with a LITTLE sea salt and chill.   YUM!   No sugar but lots of flavor.

Jennie is better, eating again, and got outside yesterday.   Thanks for your prayers.  Her gall bladder is out and she is on the road to recovery.

Gotta run - off to work I go.  Consider getting a partner for the next six weeks and commit to that daily TEXT of what the scale reports.   This also puts someone in your prayer court on a daily basis.
