Happy Leap Day - Monday, February 29th

1st world problem:  when I bring the new girls home, I will need to remember which bras go with which boobs.  I'm not sure I am THAT organized!  

I am sorry to hear about your frustration with your weight and the loss of your grandmother.

 But I am WORRIED to see you have bad enough pain to make you lie down, especially make you lie down in a bathroom that is not your own!  If you haven't seen a doctor yet, please do.  I'm not saying that I have any idea of what it is, cuz I don't!  

Hey, Donna, pat yourself on the back - your here and you NEVER give up! That's what it's all about. As hard as it is, life is always going to happen. It's what we do with what happens that matters.

Clearly eating doesn't really work for you anymore. That's a good thing. Remember that when the old tapes start playing. The more you practice, the better it will get. You will never be "perfect". None of us ever are. But, you are always striving to do better, and in my book that's what really counts! 

You have a lot on your plate right now! (((Hugs))). Good plan going forward!

Whew, what a busy bunch of skinny people we are today. Boob shopping at Nordstrom's!  Wish I could go there and shop for a revised face with wrinkles absent. Ditto new inner thighs which, as another sleever described, look like melted candles. But I look better than the 600 pound Life show I watched last night where they took off 60 lbs of skin.

Hey thanks Shel for adding my pet pictures. Everybody be sure to look at them. 

Ok everybody, I challenge you all to find five good things about your bodies and post them. I'll start:

1. I am 64 years old and everything pretty much works.
2. I have a normal bmi
3. I am ambulatory and can get around and do pretty much whatever I want
4. I am a natural blonde (with a few shades of grey)
5. At age 64 I can still make a pimple now and then. 

So there. 

Now my turn to whine.  My mother age 90 is failing slowly and I am going to have to make another trip to the midwest. Flying is risky at this time of year as you can get snowed in to Denver easily.   My mom's roommate age 89 is failing as well and being extremely cranky and nasty and won't admit she needs help.  They have 24-7 aides come in but roommate is cranky and bossy to them. Not sure what to do but go out there. Phooey. 

Hope you all have good days.  diane s

1. I am strong - physically and emotionally.
2. I am seeing muscle definition in my arms and abdomen and even on my legs and calves.
3. I have really good cardiovascular health because of all the cardio work I do on the elliptical trainer.
4. I have good skin, especially for an ex smoker and formerly obese person. 
5. I have broad shoulders. 
6. I am a good singer.

TA DA!!!!! 

And you can't count - lol!

MEOW! 

Diane O can't count either, so I'm in EXCELLENT company! 

Okay I wanna play too!

1. I like to skip up and downstairs because walking seems too easy. 
2. I smile at myself in the mirror every day. 
3. I weigh 15 pounds less than I did in high school.
4. I look forward to choosing my clothing each day. 
5. I love my cheekbones - who knew?

1. I have visible shoulder and hip bones
2. I am strong physically
3. I have smiling eyes
4. I have a mind to know better and has a will to change
5. I feel good dressed up
