Dear friends,
I want to thank you all so much for your prayers and get well wishes for Earl & I. I tried to respond individually too , but if I missed anyone please forgive me. We really do appreciate all the prayers and get well wishes.
I haven't been around much but wanted you all to know how much I miss "chatting" to you daily. Since August our life has been turned upside down and we are so involved in all the busyness that comes hand in hand with our granddaughters and the divorce our daughter is going through. I also am struggling with sticking to my program and continuing to lose weight. The added stress has not helped but I realize that so many things have gotten off track over the past few months. Luckily I am still within 5 pounds of my lowest weight since starting my weight loss program. I was 244 this am. I'm posting this to make myself be accountable to getting back on track.
It is very easy to get caught up in all the busyness of life and lose focus. Even though this is near the end of the day, I am starting fresh as of this moment. And plan to work harder and more consistently with this life course of losing weight and getting healthy.
So please keep me in your prayers as I will pray for each of you.
Big Hugs, Paulette

Paulette,
You do what you have to do, and come back with us as much as you are able to. You are loved by all. When your life settles down, the weight will come off too. You aren't super woman. Hubert and I have gone through 2 daughters and thier divorces, it isn't easy.
Sending hugs and good thoughts to you.

Hi Lisa,
Thank you so much. You always say the right thing and make me feel better. Today was a good day food wise. We ended up at Red Robin instead of Panera. I had the French Onion soup and a side salad. I know I am back on track. Went grocery shopping and got lots of wl friendly foods to help.

Paulette,
You have been through so much these past months and you are doing the best you can. You are taking care of so many people, and have to remember to take care of yourself too. I do the same thing, I run around and tend to everyone elses needs and wonder why I get sick or all of the sudden I feel like crap!
Dont beat yourself up! You are doing the best you can, come here and lean on us whenever you need to! (((HUGS))) and love to you!

Thank you Eileen for your kind words. We haven't had our granddaughters since Friday so I'm using the time to catch up on me time. Knitting a scarf for my niece, it is turning out so pretty. Haven't been able to sleep in but am taking things really slow in the am. One more day of nothing in the am and then back to reality on Thursday. Although I do have to pick up the girls after school tomorrow and have them till our daughter gets home. I miss them when I don;t see them every day so I want to plan something special to do here with them tomorrow. Maybe get them to start making some Valentine's Day cards and decorate here for Valentine's day.
I keep forgetting to comment on your new avitar pic and your weight loss. Big congratulations to you. I love your new avitar, you are so pretty!
Well going to go shower, will post on the Roll Call afterwards.
Hugs, Paulette
