Raindrops on roses and whispers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings, these are a few of my favorite things...🎶🎵🎹😉 

Gorgeous 

So gorgeous! 😍 

Thank you all so much for your kind comments and support! Y'all are the reason I know weighing in every day at this point in my journey is best for me and that my imperfection will not be judged too harshly! Thank you all for being here for me. Thank you for enjoying my roses with me! I do love them!  

Princess, I sure enough know you know! I'm back at it... 😁 sk, I do think a weekly average is the best place to get to. I am going to start recording that for myself this week but record daily for a while right now. Roxy Marie, that is kind of you to say! I am excited to be close to a year. When I reached my goal, I remember saying it was after a year I would feel congratulations would be in order... Not right then. Now, I think five years!! If I can maintain for five years, I think I can for the rest of my life. That's the goal!!!! I for sure think I will be better at this in five years! 😁  

And, Roxy Marie, I do so love that song! 🎶💕  

Beautiful flowers! I swear I commented before but I don't see my comment. Just want to make sure you know your pics are appreciated.  

Oh, kattay! That really means so much to me! I spend so much time working in my garden that having anyone appreciate the outcome of the effort is such a delight to me. I don't post food pictures very much, but my flowers seriously represent the "calories out" side of my journey. Plus, I think focusing on any hobby helps the mind and body to have a little more balance, which helps us reach healthy goals! Thank you for your kind words!  

Beautiful roses! Looks like sugar on the one rose lol (of course I would see that). Good job on maintenance even though it's hard. 

Stunning photos, Melissa! 💖
