4 funerals in One Week

3 people associated with my church...and one distantly associated passed away late last week...early this week...and today. I conducted 2 funerals Mon and tues....and then I will have 2 on Sat. the 3 associated with my church were and will be hard to do. Last week, while ministering...I did cheat once or twice on my lifestyle...but yesterday....the scale said I weighed 17 lbs more than when I was approved. (YIKES) I am praying most of it is fluid...but if not...LORD HELP ME!! I have been active...and still somewhat conscience of my health...but 17 lbs???? Pray for me...I go see singh for my pre-op On the 24th...and I need to have this weight off....or I am afraid he is gonna cancel my operation. With TWO more funerals to tend to...and families to comfort...My weekend just got booked.

Did you have you endoscopy yet?

(gag) yes...(Gag) I (gag) did (gag) while I was choking to death....Dr. Singh and the nurse kept saying "good job" ROTFL!! GOOD JOB TIM....CHOKE

Hugs Tim... Like I told you yesterday. We are all here to help you through this...  Today.. stay focused... "inch by inch.. life's a cinch" is your motto for the day.. Take it 1 second & 1 minute at a time and keep your eye on that grand prize..

Tim, Good luck.  I had a problem with "cheating"too.  But I then realized the only person I was cheating was myself.  Try eating something healthy prior to each funeral, then eat at home later.  Eat the vegies, if there are any, or bring some yourself.  Maybe this will keep you on track.  It is so hard.  I swera the pre op was the hardest thing i have ever had to do.  Good luck...you CAN do it!

Actually, what I am finding myself doing is eating what everyone else is eating. I don't know why? I think I honestly forgot what I was.... Yesterday and today have been good so far.... THANKFULLY...I am using the facilities much more today....hoping it is the fluid departing.... to the gym I will go today....

Sorry about the losses :(  Remain DETERIMINED -  You might not be able to rid 17 pounds in such a short time - but you can lose a few - stay focused - YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
