Hey everyone I've been missing in action for a few days.   We had a wonderful weekend off camping in Woodbine with the RV.   My sister and brother in law and nephew were 'sort' of with us.   They had their own tent site, but we spent the waking hours and meals together and that was fun.   Lefty went with us too .. and he discovered (little unathletic kitty that he is) that he could get up on the bed in the RV from the back side of it .. and walk across my face .. this is behavior that he NEVER exhibits at home but he felt the need to head butt and walk on us at 3 a.m. On top of this being a short week work-wise I've got 6 interviews to do for a vacant position in my department.   We've done 3 and have 3 to go.    Exercise wise I slacked over the weekend.   My sister and I took a vigorous walk around the campground on Monday a.m. but that was it.   I did get up yesterday a.m. and made it to Big Vanilla for my 2 rounds on the Body Express Circuit, but when the clock went off this a.m.   I made a conscious decision NOT to move!!!  And stayed in bed until 5:30.  I'm feeling sort of guilty about that, but I'll shake it off and get there tomorrow. Mr Mo and I are headed to Boston EARLY Sunday morning.   We have a 6:30 a.m. flight so we will be out of the house by 4 a.m.   One of my racing chat friends and her hubby are meeting us at the airport in Boston and we are spending the day with them before we check into our hotel for the conference I'm going to Mon-Wed.   Monday night we are going to a Red Sox game at Fenway.   That is Mr Mo's total interest in the trip .. going to Fenway!!!   Lefty is going to sleep-away kitty camp while we are gone.   This will be traumatic for him as well as me.   We have never boarded him before, but we can't leave him home alone any more (which is why he gets to go in the RV with us when we travel). What's up with you all?   Come on out lurkers .. tell us about your day .. what's been going on? Hugs, Mo

Comparison is the thief of joy!

If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished.   Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago.   I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits!   Wherever you are in your journey  ... It's ALL good!!!

Thank goodness it is Thursday. I couldn't live through Tuesday or Wednesday again. they have just been stress laden with the onset of school opening and getting back to business for most of the special education offices. Sigh... Today is my Friday as I am taking tomorrow off. I am having a repeat endoscopy in the morning so I get to come home and sleep off the "drugs". I am hoping they find that the damage to my esophagus has repaired since surgery. We shall see. Well, I planted a seed of an idea in my mom last night. As I expected, she backed out of leaving the mountains. She really cannot spend another winter up there alone. We had learned that an old friend does do Elder Sitting and I spoke with her. She is willing to work with mom. Now the seed that needs to sprout is for my mother to allow this. I hope I got through to her a little last night. I tried hard not to badger or bully her as my siblings tend to do. I did tell her that I want her to be able to weigh her options and to make an informed decision. She had been getting nasty up to the point I made that statement. I also spoke to her about making arrangements for our little family reunion taking place next week in New Jersey . She panics with good reason about her oxygen availability when she travels. I talked it through to her and I think we came up with a good plan. She needs to call to have oxygen available at the hotel and then to have them also deliver some small tanks for when we are away from the hotel. She was complaining about having to carry so many tanks. I talked to her about what she may really need and how many in case tanks she might bring. I think this helped her a lot.  My youngest son stopped over last night. He had just dropped his room mate off at BWI and then made a mad dash trip back to bring some essential items he had forgotten. His room mate is on his way to . He is expected to be there about 2 months on an Air Force base. Geoff was visibly shaken by this and just needed some Mom time.  I almost had him convinced to take his dog with him. Oh well! I hope everyone is doing well and staying well. Keep up with the protein and with the fluids!! Now if someone can motivate me to exercise.
