Weigh in Friday!

Mirabelle! I'm SO glad to see you! OMG 5.5 hrs...I stay away from the dentist like the plague.. Pneumonia. How the heck does someone get pneumonia in Florida? I mean, Montana, yeah, I can see that...Florida? Yikes. That must be horrible.  At 124 and 122 you and I look like skeleton twins I bet! LOL. Darn it's good to see you.  Send me a PM and tell me how it goes with your husband too!

Dawn, I think it was from the DDS. office, that was the last place I was when I got it ifirst week of May...this is July and I am, my last appt which was very long was last Wed...three days later I get sick again...I am calling her on Monday so they can clean their instruments. Some bug flyin' around in there however the office is spotless or I wouldn't have gone back after first visit. So who knows I hate anybody down my throat like that...cost me $4800. plus 2 months of my life. I got pneumonia backin 2004 after Hurricane Charlie we had no elec for 9 days, finally after 3 days one of the hotels here on Sanibel had a room open so we went there and same thing nearly 3 mons before I was better...but I don't even get a cold all and I do not take vaccines due to allergies so I guess I am open game for germs.  DH is doing well...being followed very closely but happy to report all is well for now. Thanks for asking.

Happy 4th of July! Dawn I saw your governor on tv asking folks not to use any fireworks due to it being so dry and there are so many fires going on all ready. I do hope you and your family stay safe.

Last week 156

this week 155

I am happy!

Sher, that's wonderful! I count one pound as a win. Yeah, people don't listen to the Govenator..Arnold. I like him but I bet he doesn't drive the Hummer anymore..LOL. We didn't have any little fireworks around here but for some reason they were having fireworks at the race track over the hill (several years ago they stopped them cuz of a fire they had there) and the dogs could hear it. It sounded like thunder for 45 minutes but the sky was clear. They barked and I didn't sleep...

Not sure where I was at last week but I know it was more than I am...can't get upset because I know I'm trying. This week:  117.6 My size 4's are getting big and I am now in a Jr. size 5.  Have a family wedding today and I'm scared of all the comments I'm going to get from family.  Last night was hard enough seeing my Dad's reaction.

I figure in order to head them off I would walk around with a big cookie with a bite out of it and say "See? I'm eating. I'm eating."

On the serious side. Maybe figure out a high protein, high calorie shake that you can eat...Including low fat ricotta (borrowed from a recipe I just saw for chocolate ricotta pudding) and more slider foods. That would be foods that move out of your pouch sooner and allow you to "Eat more".

You and I need to really work on gaining weight. I know my family worries about me...And I'm trying.

Well, as of Friday I was down to 154 from last week 158.  However, I gained 3 pounds this weekend.  I ate some serious salt and did nothing for fitness.  Back to the grind now.  I have a check up Monday and am anxious to hear my docs perspective on how I'm doing.  This week I did make it to "normal weight" for the first time in my adult life.  Yipee! Thanks for the weigh in.  This is super helpful!

Yes! that salt can be a killer. I saw where I'd put on over a pound in a day and it was totally the potato chips I munched on all day..Bad bad. But with the weather as hot as it is, I figure I do need at least some salt. Granted the amount that I consumed was more than I needed. LOL.
