Friday, April 22

Hello!  Carbon, I am sorry about the death in your family - it's always difficult.  You'll be in my thoughts and prayers, as Lorna is.

Feeling more grounded today.  Food has been in its place so far.  I need to go get lunch and food supplies for here at the office, and wanted to post first, so I am more apt to make good choices.

Weekend plans include dance picture day tomorrow.  This year the adult tap class is having pictures, as it was jazz last year, so I don't need to get them done.  I am debating, though, as I usually get a picture done with my girls.  This is the older one's last year, and the younger one is back this year, so it's the last chance for a picture of the 3 of us in costumes.  I must admit, I'm feeling fat, so my old tape, of not having my picture taken, has been playing in my head.   I am realizing, as I write this, that I am avoiding, which I don't want to do anymore.

Have a great Friday!

Hugs, Mary

191.  Back up.  Gotta get back in the swing of things.  I am going to make sf Jello tonight for my weekend cravings.  I stick to my plan like glue in the morning and during work hours.  When I get home, everything falls apart like I'm rewarding myself for sticking to it all day.  So stupid, but that's my inner workings.  Maybe I should eat an apple or get a large coffee to have during my drive home so I'm not so hungry when I get home.  I have good foods ready and I eat them, but then I continue eating.  Last night was softball, so I was out of the house and all was well. 

Hi, my name is JoeyJo and I apparently am a food addict.

Hello Petite Pretties, Harem of Hotties and Dinky Dames! LOL, I guess I'm in a mood.

Day 9 of the headache. I think ibuprofen is going to pass my lips today if the ache gets anymore intense today. Tylenol just isn't cutting it. It's one of those headaches that varies in intensity all day long. Right now it's not too bad, but earlier it was more intense.

198 - I thought I would be lower than that today. I weighed last night and was 199.2 and I usually drop 2-2.5 pounds overnight. (yup, I'm a morning and evening weigher...I confess!)

Not a lot to say today. Not feeling inclined to think too much. But I must admit, I was struck by Lesa's student's quote. Makes a lot of sense. I am tolerating this extra weight quite well.Perhaps what I need to do is try on some of my ideally sized clothes and see if I'll still tolerate my weight! Worth a try. Something to think about for tomorrow. Not today.

Today is simply a day to get through. Feeling somewhat apathetic. Treats in the staff room. Feel like going down and taking a peek - with protein shake in hand! I shall be strong!

EDIT TO ADD: There was a sausage bake, so I had a small serving of that. There was also a platter of Chocolate chip cookies, another platter of cookies and mini cupcakes from a local bakery, assorted chocolates and M&Ms, and a HUGE box of doughnut holes. All of the sweet stuff was left untouched my me, myself and I! WIN! 

Devon, I hope the headache goes away!  Ibuprophen is the only thing that works when I get a migraine.  I have found that the liquid gels work best, as they don't sit in the stomach to dissolve the way the pills do.  My cousin has stomach problems and has switched to the liquid ones, and finds they don't bother her.

Good to know! Thanks! 

Greetings to the intolerants of fat!

Like the quote. WE must not become complacent.

Carbon sorry about your loss in your family.  

Hey 130.5 today. Really want to get under 130 just to show Dr. C.  

Still trying to work out a care situation for my mom.  Its extremely complicated with the staffing, location availability and the fact that mom's roommate is bat sh-- crazy and is losing memory function. 

Its pouring rain this morning and a contractor is coming over to look at replacing home siding.  but look! the sun has come out for one minute. maybe we will get lucky.

Did you get to see your pup yesterday????

p.s.  Purple Rain, Me and My Red Corvette ......

Yeah we got to play with the puppies yesterday. There are two females, not sure which one is best yet. No major flaws in either that i can see. One is a little larger and a fear she will go oversized.  But I think I will co own it with the breeder since she is a judge and akc breeder of merit.  that way she will help me pick the better of the two.  But all are cute as could be. Still in the sort of slug stage but that won't last.  Born march 24.   diane s
