What Have You Done Today to Make You Feel Proud?

Hey you cute little dose of health...how goes the healing?  Are the girls "fluffing" yet?  And I don't mean your daughters!

Mary

Well... no fluffing yet.

But saw Dr A yesterday and seemed pleased with the results.

I got permission to go buy a sports bra... usually I'd buy 10D- and the empty skin would fill it. New bra is 12D and filled nicely! ... apparently Target didn't stock a 10D wireless sports bra.  But hey, for $15.99 who's complaining?

How're your gals settled? Guess what Dr A said.... I have a wide rib cage! Sound familiar?

Em

 

Em, you are going to be surprised how easy it is to forget bending over to get all of that skin stuffed inside your bra...and trying to get those nipples positioned just right in the middle, just in case it gets cold!

My girls have settled better than I thought they would and the only thing I'm still getting used to is that they are just so danged perky.  Breast this high on a woman my age just doesn't occur in nature!  But then again, neither does this butt.  I always say I'm going to be the finest old lady in the home!

Oh my goodness, Em, I can't imagine you having a wide rib cage.  I think part of it is our old weight used to compress our chest and flattened our rib cage.  That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

Mary, I say keep your lights up all year long if they make you happy!! Who cares what the neighbors think....If they know you they won't bat an eye!  

My proud for the day is that I stuck with my plan almost all day. I did great till 8pm rolled around and I was leaving class and realized I didnt' bring any snacks and hadn't eaten since noon....after that I ate just about everything in site. That was bad planning and waiting too long in between meals. I've got to get in the habit of carrying snacks with me everywhere so I can resist temptation. But I almost made it, and tomorrow's another day (as you said Trish!) and I'm not gonna let it get me down.  

  Hmmmm...I'm still pondering that first statement. Iz you trying to say I'm the crazy lady with the lights on all year, or iz you trying to say that I'm that damned tacky...like the rest of the Rednecks around this place?  I just hope you didn't mean the tacky, Crazy Lady!

Yanno, all of this dieting takes practice so I'm glad that you aren't going to let it get you down.  In this society, we are just so used to having something to stuff in our face available to us that we are not required to think ahead about something to eat.  Down side to that is that everything that is a quickie is unhealthy.  But those of us who are sworn to eating healthy to get this fat off of our bodies have to learn to be like Eagle Scouts...always be prepared.  You'll get used to planning ahead, remembering to take what you made with you is another phase altogether!

Mary 

I wasn't even thinking tacky mary! Just crazy!     Just kidding! Ya know I luv ya, Mary Queen of Atkins!! 

  Well I'm glad you cleared that up because crayzee beats tackee any day of the week!

Mary

Awwe, don't ya just hate those dreary depressing days.  If you have too, who says you can't have lights up?hehe  Lol, I've thought about hanging clear ones up some how in my bathroom so it looks sort of romatnic looking in there without candles.  I know, tacky..lol and THAT is why i haven't done it yet!  Haven't figured it out.lol But heck, cheer up girl.  Bahnamas sounds good to me too.  I had a pretty good visiual of those male servants you are hiring. :)    

Someone called on the phone earlier and I asked dh who it was.  He said it was his ***** teasingly.  I immediately told him that would make it easier on me...I'm gone! I wanna move!ha  Don't think he thought it was very funny.lol  Okay, I'm getting side tracked.  I hope tomorrow your day perks up for you!!  Have you thought of those light bulbs that suppose to help your moods?  My old executive director had the more expensive lamps (not the little bitty ones) and she swore on the things. 

Hmm, my day was pretty boring.  I was cold all day long.  It's been between -15 and -20 all day long.   Plus TOM was suppose to arrive yesterday and it's maiking me want to eat all day.  I'm trying soooo hard to not binge or dig into anything icky for me.  But I did break my own bike goal.  I've always gone only five miles for some reason.  Monday I went six miles and today I went 6.5, so I was happy. 

  I'm SO proud...our little Holly is working out like she means it!  I sure hope that bike is inside cuz at those temperatures your peddles would be frozen with your feet stuck to them.  

That's funny about your DH.  Someone hung up on me one time when I asked who it was and I told mine...it must have been your girlfriend.  He said, "No, that ***** can't afford a telephone, she's saving her money to buy her some new gold front teeth."  Men!

In my other house, I had a sun porch built just for my SAD.  I didn't put one on this house because I thought I was over it, but I was walking in the woods today and it hit me like a ton of bricks.  I need to stay in the house where I have all of the lighting built in.  Speaking of which, I've seen those topiaries that have lights in them and they're beautiful.  Or you could just get a light dimmer.  They are cheap and do great things for setting a "mood".

Mary...

On a scale of 1 to 10 how important is it that you lose the last 15lbs?

World peace rating? Life or death?

Yeah, it'd be nice.

Yeah, it is annoying to feel like maybe you haven't quite 'made' it to ideal.

But... maybe ideal for you is the weight you are right now? Maybe, that is your maintainable weight? Maybe... you should accept you are one beautiful lady already?

Just a perspective to consider.

If you reject this perspective... then... hmmm  get on that eliptical and whip yourself girlfriend.

Loves ya Miss Mary
