WT 215.2  up 1.4  Calories  1210

Eating on target. Grazing not an issue yesterday.

Paula, moving possibilities, job possibilities exciting and stressful not knowing.  Wishing you and your family a smooth transitions if you move. 

Teachers, hoping you have a fantastic first day.  I am thankful for teachers and rarely had less than excellent teachers in my own education. 

I remain grateful for this board.  Accepting, open, safe place to be accountable, encouraging, informative,friendly and persevering to pursue better health. Both mind and body.  Thanks for your daily input.  It helps me.  Looking at the view stats it helps rarely under 50 people and often over 200 other people as well.

As you know for now, as long as my back will let me, my steps / exercise is working on my airstream travel trailer. Some of you have said you want to see the finished product.  I have posted some short videos of the process.  And plan to release more as I complete it. The easiest way for me to link is Facebook or YouTube.  

Oh Wow! Super impressive! I love your little Southern Belle's narration as well!

Awesome vids!

133.4 today. Up almost 4. Playing with water retention for sure. When that tight compression wrap comes off, it's like the "hollow leg" fills up. Without the water pills to stabilize things a bit, I need to get my head set for fluctuations.

That being said, the cookies went from my freezer to the garbage. Shel... I am not as evolved as thin woman as I would like to be. I guess the bottom line take away for me, is that only head hunger calls for non-fuel options. True physical hunger, for me, almost exclusively craves protein and food as fuel. Having non-fuel options in the house promotes stinking thinking for me, especially when I'm tired, lonely, unfocused.

Moving forward !!

Diane

Here's hoping for a quick resolution to the leg edema!

127.6 - about the same I think. Finally got some exercise in yesterday - I think it had been at least a week! Unheard of for me!

It looks like we might be taking a leap of Faith and selling the house if the interested buyers will pay what it is worth in this market. I'll be calling today to have the house appraised to help us set the price. Our plan is to rent locally for a year and hope that one of the job options opens up and if not, pursue others!

DS #1's jaw surgery is today. He does not even have to be there until noon, so I had him stay up late, eat a bite around 11:30 (cut off time was midnight) and hope he sleeps until late morning.

Have a great day my friends! Protect those skinny's!

Good Tuesday morning

PAula,  trusting that son's surgery goes well and like Dave wish all the teachers the best not only for today but for the whole year.  Ocean have a good compressing day.   

not the greatest of foods day but way better than before.  

Enjoy!

126 today, grazing worse yesterday but at least now I am noticing!  I didn't graze all thru WL so I am hopeful that I will get this turned around. Lots of steps yesterday. 

MIL and FIL are both in hospital a few rooms apart.  I feel sad for MIL in particular. This classy, elegantl, self-taught financial genius is now controlled by her dementia.  You can hear her yelling from half-way down the hall, every 4th word a swear word.  Yesterday she called 911 on the hospital!  

Dave, can't wait to see more of airstream, will be checking out those links later. 

DianeO, that is water weight for sure.  Going on/off diurectics has always moved the scale 4 lbs for me, even if arm LE and leg water retention was stable.  You might want to adjust your target range upward to account for this.  And, that would be OK!!!!!   It is literally jus****er.  Adjusting the range upward may be painful, but in the long run, those extra pounds allowed at the top will give your brain some peace.

I would like to echo Dave and say thank you all for being here!   

Hold your skinny tight today.

Shel

115 this morning. Super busy since we returned to our home base, including changing my hair colour to one of the trendy 'pearl' colours yesterday. DD loves it but poor DH is trying to understand why I'd pay someone so much money to make my hair gray haha. 

Weather is cool windy and wet here, so not sure how I will spend my time today, other than maybe choose a new lipstick to complement my new hair.  I'm thinking a clear pink, but not sure yet. Always fun to play around!

Dave, looking forward to your vids today.  All the best to everyone!
