Linda,
I hate the humidity. I loved Bakersfield, CA because there was no pollen, no humidity, and no bees...well, bees but not like here. I am also an emotional eater, and I swear I don't know why. When I was a child, food was for meals and on Saturday night, we had popcorn and a little coke so this crazy thing that I have going on comes from I don't know where.
I keep a few pick me up movies for days when the weather is gloomy or when I am struggling with something sad and that seems to help.
Hi Ladies,
I got my walking in today. Also did my dvd exercise. The last two nights I had air popped popcorn that wasn't planned. That is all gone too so today should stay on planned. I had my usual breakfast and lunch, for supper I'm having broccoli and cheese soup that my stepmom made and beanitos. Snack will be no sugar added fudgesicle, chia seeds in my Greek yogurt and apple.
My friend's guy friend is up from Florida so I'll be ignored again. She can't even call me today after I took her to the store last night. She does this everytime he comes.
I hope I hear about the job soon. I need something to do.
Everyone have a good evening.

Hi All,
Im usually upbeat but I've had a few really sad days. It's complicated and personal but my underlying insecurity got tapped and my flare of anger made the whole crappy situation worse and I hurt someone I love in an unkind way. I have guilt and the sadness that started it all is there. Life can be so difficult at times.
But foodwise I am doing alright...I'm sticking to my plan, protein drink for breakfast, light lunch, flexible about dinner.
I am striving for self care too. I just got out of the bath. I have recommitted to meditation once a day. And I have been coloring regularly. I have been crying to get out my sadness.
Tonight it is Happy Hour at our friend's house. I'll have one glass of empty calories because I really enjoy my Cabernet.
Trish, I'm so happy for you that the cleaning project is done! Maintaining will be easier. I know your ADD complicates your life.
Jeannie, you are so helpful with keeping us motivated here. Thank you!
Linda, the weather is triggering, but I think relaxing with a book is self care. Just plod along without guilting yourself if you can. Like Jeannie said, this whole business is the journey of an addict. I sure do struggle with it. The addiction is the hardest part for me, and can hop, skip and jump!

I rearranged my crazy car today. I found an empty bin and put my tent and poles in it. Also my little grill and my camp box. The way back looks nice and neat!
Now to pack the rest.
Next to Walgreens!

Hello Trish and Jeannie
Today is a gloomy day, makes we want to curl up with a good book and do nothing else. Not good. That usually means a book in my lap, a diet coke on the end table and a bag or box of something next to me in my chair. The good thing about gloomy is it might not be as hot outside. The bad news is the humidity is still high.
I will get in some walking, it may be slow but better than nothing.
Trish glad your grands had a good recital. It is always fun to see them learn and grow. Jeannie you are so right about one day at a time. I am not a food addict. I do not fit the profile. But I am an emotional eater. I have to be vigilant on days like today. If I let my mood get gloomy like the weather I will struggle. Its a day to day thing.
Hello to all who visit later.
See ya
We will be leaving Sunday or Monday. We came to remove our personal belongings out of the larger of our condos. You remember the condo we all stayed in 5 years ago? We have a contract on it. We moved our things to the smaller condo and did some preliminary paper work. We were supposed to close on May 23rd but the buyer ran into some glitch with his divorce and it has delayed the closing. Since we leave for Wyoming in a month and I have a trip to Atlanta before then, it is looking like we may have to close by mail.
I will be around though later. I really want to move at least part of the year to Wyoming. Hubby can't decide if he could tolerate the winters so we are thinking of another place for part of the year. I would like to rent an apartment in Wyoming and live there from May to October and buy a house somewhere else. So.....we will probably move into the small condo in January 2017 for about 6 months to see if we like Village living. If we do we may purchase here. We will probably look at the eastern coast of Florida as well. Central or northern area. We know we do not want to live in Southern Florida. The reason for FloridPMa is the readily available cruises. A quick trip down the coast gets you to the port and last minute cruises can be really cheap.
PM me your number and I will let you know when I will be back here.
Hey Trish,
I think that those of us who are addicts, and we probably are all, will always struggle. My husband says I have the strangest relationship with food. The best we can do is one day at a time. If I make it today without grabbing chips, I cannot be guaranteed that the chip craving won't take over tomorrow.
I am so glad your kids did so well with their recital.
Ladies, practice today saying no...no, I won't do that for you; no, I don't have time to do that; no, I don't want that snack food....And, please stretch your muscles....give them a good stretching.
Good Morning OFF,
Sorry I've been gone, but my cleaning project is done. Hallelujah!!! I am beyond relieved. Colleen said everything looked good.
Tuesday was beyond insane, taking Frank to a museum, then dropping stuff off at Goodwill, seeing my orthopedist, and getting my haircut, plus going to specialty pharmacy for a compound topical pain med.
Last night, Izzy and Lincoln performed in their recitals, Izzy on piano and Lincoln on guitar. He's only been taking guitar since January, and he wowed the crowd.
Food has been so-so. Still hooked on the sugar.
Exercise has been okay.
Hugs,
Trish

Susan,
If we weren't taking my granddaughter to the Laura Ingals Wilder museum, we could all meet for a some lunch or a walk on the mountain....How the hell are you?
Linda! You're in HS??? Wish I would have seen this sooner. My DIL is moving into her new salon and I'm committed to help the whole weekend. How long do you plan on being here in AR?
