Friday at last

had a meet and greet event last evening that went well.  I really dislike these events as am not a schmoozer.

scale down.  Walked an hour yesterday.

Enjoy your day.

Good morning all!  I haven't been here all week.  Work is so out straight that I have had very little time for anything else, even breaks!  I continue to weigh myself every morning.  The scale has been like a yoyo this week, but within a couple pound range.  One day it went much higher, but I had only had about 4 hours sleep (thanks to a teen coming home late - new curfew put in place!), had puffy ankles and hadn't had my morning constitutional as my system was off kilter, so I was able to keep calm about it all - a victory for me!  Today's weight is about where's it's been on average. 

Even in the midst of the chaos at work and some stuff at home, I'm managing to stay somewhat stable with food.  I have had a little mindless grazing, but was able to recognize it and stopped before it got out of hand.  I am so looking forward to some upcoming changes at work, including a new hire who starts 7/13, which will decrease the craziness. 

Surgery has been postponed to 9/2, as I really had no choice.  I wasn't terribly happy about this, but I can live with it.

Sorry for being so chatty and have a great day everyone!

124. watching all the news of the day. so interesting.  also watching the humboldt bay eagle camera. the two chicks are huge now. big as chickens.  testing their wings.  hubby has a day off jury duty so he considers himself on vacation. sunny day good for a dog walk.   diane

156.4# I'm down from yesterday...all good!  Worked out hard today and cleaned our patio.  I'm on a mission to find some linen pants this afternoon.  Dinner and drinks with friends tonight.  Enjoy the weekend.

All is well in my world! Not really, HAHAHA, but that's how I'm choosing to view it! Ongoing Elder care issues! As much as I love my pop, it's been challenging dealing with him during the healing period of his hip replacement. Add my uncle into that mix and it's a tad stressful!

Anyhoo..... down another 1.1 pounds today. That puts me back at pre-vacation/dog show weight. Next goal is 2 more pounds off.

At therapy yesterday I was told that I had "cognitive distortion" concerning body image. Yay - just like an anorexic! Whew Hoo! Heck, I knew that already, I think. You know, the never thin enough or trim enough feeling. That's me!

Still really enjoying my "gentle" approach to eating and weight loss these days. It sure has taken the edge off. Cravings are practically non existent and being able to be an observer and respond to my behaviors, rather than to knee jerk react to them, is a refreshing change of pace. It feels nice to be kind to myself instead of being so damned hard on myself. 

Happy weekend, Peeps!
