Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Sunday 12/2

Good morning. Going to be up to 61 degrees today here, great day for a hike. Today only about 6 miles but steep. Should be fun.

Today's weight 138.4

Hope your Sunday is lovely.

174.2

Time for my weekly bump - you can always tell when I am on my feet a lot.

Had a great day shopping with DH yesterday.  I got two suits - a silver Calvin Klein and a Brown Windowpane check Michael Kors - Gotta love the Macys 25% off clearance and TJ Maxx.  Also got a tie, Cufflinks, two shirts, two pair of jeans and Socks.  All for the $500 my parents sent for Christmas.

Its been a warm couple of days here.

137.1 today, and off to a friends house for some home-made Provincial beef stew and decorating fun. I made low carb gingerbread cheesecake mini-muffin/cookie bites for dessert. I also bottled up 4 750ml bottles of my home-made (sugar free this year) eggnog to age for Xmas/NYE fun. Comes out like very potent Bailey's when done, then you cut it with eggwhites/half & half or what-have-you, or just serve on the rocks (tiny pours!)

135.5 today.

On a business trip with a trainee this week.  We ate dinner and breakfast together and she said nothing about the small portions I ate or the fact that I didn't drink with my meal.  What she said was, "You are the slowest eater I have ever met."  As someone who formerly shoveled in massive forkfulls and finished first so that I could have more, I felt complimented, and also I realized that I have made new habits, as I was not consciously eating slow.  It's the new normal for me.

Pouring rain here.  Think I'll post some stuff on ebay this afternoon and then go for a walk later.

178.0 today.  We had freezing rain last night and all was frozen over this morning.  Foolishly left my car out overnight, and DH de-iced it for me - I am truly blessed by this wonderful man I've been with for almost 25 years.  Today is more of going through and getting rid of stuff.  Still dealing with the emotional upheaval of last week, but am a little better and food has remained in its place.  I mailed a letter yesterday to the person I had the issue with.  I tried to be honest with her without anger or blame.  I don't know what her reaction will be and it's out of my hands.  I just needed closure so I can move forward.  My dad is still up and down, and haven't gotten through yet to get today's update.  Hoping for a quiet and uneventful week.

I am glad you did the note route and it gave you some catharsis and closure, that's important. Your dad is in my thoughts- I hope the events of recent smooth over and you can go into the next year with some peace all around. (hugs)

Thanks so much!  I finally got an update on my dad.  He's exhausted from dialysis, but otherwise doing well.  The other issue is now out of my hands.  I am now trying to let go of it and accept what will be will be.

Something weird is going on with this site.  This is the 3rd time I'm submitting a reply - hope the 3rd time is the charm!  Thanks so much for your support.  I finally got an update on my dad.  He's exhausted from dialysis, but otherwise doing okay.  The other issue is out of my hands.  I am trying to let it go and accept that what will be will be.

Hopefully this reply will go through - I've tried several times tonight.  Must be something going on with the site.  Thanks so much for your support.  My dad is doing ok.  the other issue is out of my hands now.  I just need to let it go and accept what will be will be.
