You have expressed my sentiments precisely.  Thanks.

You are not alone!!!  

Greetings Good Friends

Well the scale is not my friend today. 133.5, Yuck. And gallery duty with he fresh fudge sign. Can't figure out how I gained a pound with shrimp and veggies for dinner. The worst thing I ate all day was an Atkins bar. Go figure. 

Today is another gallery morning (different one) and at least the sun is out. Will walk in circles I guess. Then off to a wine tasting where there will be yummy food though small amounts. I am taking a friend who has been having a rough time lately with family issues and she was thrilled at the idea. Its at this really cute little winery very nearby and always fun. 

Then the football game that we will probably lose. All in all a big day for me.

Congrats Dave on your son's wedding. Sounds lovely. 

Paula you may need witchcraft to get rid of itching. So sorry is so bothersome.

Everyone have a great day. Kairk, instead of looking at skinny people with jealousy, look at fat ones and be grateful.   

Cheers.  DianeS

Running late.  Have wonderful house guests and the kitchen is busy busy busy.

Congratulations to the happy couple.

Paula ....so sorry.   

Fresh fudge signs should be illegal.  

not the best of food days.  Too much tasting.  Steps so so.

enjoy your day!

So, I'm crawling back to my peeps hoping after a self inflicted time-out that I can come back :) I was reading just not posting.    I'd tell myself, I'll post today but then feel like I had nothing to say or contribute.  Anyway...

My scale is up...I got complacent.  I'm tired of food being the forefront of my being. My first thoughts when I wake up are I wondering what the scale will say today.  I wonder what I can eat and not gain weight.  I need to do better today.  And, the thoughts go on and on...

I was talking with my trainer yesterday about the cycle I'm in...I gain and lose the same 10# and can't seem to get past that.  I really need to lose the 20# to get to my happy weight. I'm sluggish.  My water intake sucks.  Schools starts; my routine changes and I'm too tired to exercise.  That's my excuse anyway.  I can't seem to find a balance.  Why do I sabotage myself?

I feel huge...fat...like I'm back at 272!  Comparing myself to other women.  What a mistake!, I know....

The good news is I'm not giving up.  I do have lots of anxious thoughts about the holidays.  I need a plan...but tired of planning. How to get my mind right...that's the million dollar question!

Exciting news in the library...my admin has approved a therapy dog!!!!  I'm in the process of figuring this out.  I'm hoping that I can connect with someone and we can have a doggie donation that would meet the criteria for a therapy dog and then go through the program.  I'm so excited.  Devon or Diane...any suggestions?

Weddings, plastic surgery, new jobs, family, dogs, art, school, new members...love to all!

Thanks for letting me ramble.
