Hump Day 11/09/16
140. Weight is all over the place. My old neural pathways were my "go to" yesterday, under tremendous deadlines and work demands. Rebuilding takes time and determination, and we all have that !!! Dealing with some resulting water gain... back on the horse today.
Positive energy to all as we wake up to a new day, and a new opportunity to make the next good choice. Remember, the hard work... the important work... is done when we let ourselves explore addictive desires. O have to agree that denying/ignoring them ...not so much.

Happy Hump Day! 121 today. Son made great Pork Tenderloin last night and I savored all my 3 ounces of it (with broccoli and yes, 1/2 a small popover).
I'm sick about the election. I really never expected to end up as it did. Enough said...
Enjoy your day!

125 this morning. Lots of steps yesterday.
Exploring addictive desires --- yes, gotta go there if I want to maintain for the long term.
Grateful for VSG, Grateful to have the time to rebuild.

202. Sleep has been impossible the past few nights, but should get back to normal now that I am back home. Too rainy and cold to walk. Too tired to walk. I need to walk.
132. down a half. Must be from gagging on election news. This morning I felt like staying in bed for the next four years. Enough said.
Well its a sunny day here and DH already took Prince Chip for his royal walk. I will take Princess Tesla pretty soon.
There is a hilarious video called Hamsterfeld. Take a look if you want a laugh and like hamsters.
Well, don't have much to say today except I will keep on truckin' on the weight control road. Lots of art to be made and fun things to do around here. Life is short, gotta make the most of it.
Hug your skinny all. Diane S.

125.4. Stayed up way too late watching election last night.
Getting a rash under some of the medical tape over wounds. Call in to the PS office. Still itching like crazy too - even where there isn't tape. Benedryl has been my friend.
Wanting to get more active but I think still too early. Drove for the first time today and even that hurt!
