Thursday, June 9th

Almost fell off the wagon today, but clung on with one hand.  Goodie table this morning at the office, no big deal, pretty used to it... but as I was putting out the stuff I brought, this one beautiful bagel started calling me.  I ignored it and waited for someone to take it.  I blame my co-workers for not helping me out.  I tried, but considered it "irresistible".  I took a little less than half and buttered it up.  After eating almost half (1/4), I realized it was not as good as I had imagined it to be.  To prove that it was not "irresistible" I threw the rest away.  I could hear your collective voices telling me to protect my weightloss (I change "skinny" to "weightloss").

Back on the wagon. 

15 days to my 2 year surgiversary, 27 days to my 2 year checkup. 

Greetings all my fabulous skinnies

Well today started with a routine mammogram that was scheduled some time ago. Good technician that didn't kill me. Of course since weight loss my boobs are like two empty ho****er bottles.

Then I bit the bullet and made a big grocery run to the discount grocery store that is the best for feeding a group.  Got a fresh turkey breast and some healthy stuff but also rice and bread which we never eat.  Michal's sister always insists on taking over the kitchen and cooking and making all kinds of gourmet crap.  So I sent her the list of what I purchased because I am afraid she will show up with a boatload of groceries of her own. 

Deceased SIL wanted her ashes scattered at this one spectacular beach.  Not legal but around here everybody does it and no one cares.  The interesting part is that there is a very steep and slippery trail down to that beach. Fortunately the rest of us can see from an overlook and send her husband and young strong nephews to do the task. Still I am expecting drama over it. I am not walking down that trail.  Stay tuned for more in the soap opera.

The house siders are still working but the offered to not work Monday since people will be here. Nice guys. 

Weight 130.5. Feels good. 

Those of you taking vacations , have a great time!  diane S

Hello again from Waterton! Today is very windy so we are not riding. Did take the truck into the village though.  Took a short stroll through the stores and then stopped at the waterfalls and ate our lunch.  Egg salad - yum. Sandwiches for DH just the filling for me.  Beef jerky, snap peas and raw carrots to round things out.  Then drove through the bison paddock and were rewarded with a good view of the herd in the distance. 

The weather is cooler and rain is in the forecast but we're staying on to ride a special stretch of road that opens tomorrow afternoon. 

Diane S. Sending you strength. 

Last week of school. Lots to do.

Stressed out to the max due to over scheduling, everyday responsibilities, etc... Won't bore you with details. Suffice it to say I've been feeling overwhelmed and my nerves are frayed. 

I have not been nourishing my body properly and I am feeling it. 

I hope to come up for air this weekend and get a grip, cuz I sure don't have one at the moment. . 

I was just about to message you.   I'm sorry things are so stressful.  Be kind to yourself and take some time to breathe. You'll be glad you did. Ask for help. Say No if you can. Hang in there. And, if you need to talk we're here. I'm here.

Big hugs to you Devon
