Thursday April 6

Liz-That was the experience at my husband's office. A little bit of "survivor's guilt" and soul-searching and wondering if they were in the right place after all. I am sorry to hear about your husband. I hope you are able to find a solution for him.

Yes I believe "excess weight" is anything above a normal bmi. So if your bmi is 24.9, then you've lost 100% of your "excess weight". But if you get lower on the normal bmi scale, then you can lose over 100% excess weight. I think that's how it works.

Greetings Fine People

134.5 today. I have realized I am really doing nothing to get rid of this couple of extra pounds because I don't really mind them. Yet I have to watch it or I will be creeping up and be unhappy.

Liz I hope they accept your schedule proposal. Seems very reasonable with all you have going on. So sorry your DH has some decline. I have a "house husband" but he can't cook so I come home from the studio and do it myself.

Shel you are so right that time is a scarce resource and we need to use it wisely. The stuff you have to do will keep expanding to fill all your time and then some. I think time stress is one cause of obesity. Eating on the run, fast food and all that.

Well BB good for you for getting into the weight work. Keep at it.

Joey glad your job is trying to accommodate all that you have going on. Sounds like a good thing. Ditto son's walking.

Jeez Carbon is it ever going to stop raining there? We've had more than our share but at least not this week.

Well Saturday I take Tesla to her breeder so we can show groom her for next week. I am more worried about her behavior than overall looks. The entry is so huge she doesn't stand much chance of winning anything but its a start in the show world.

Peace and hope. Diane S

Weight up 1 lb. Eating was basically the same, so I'm guessing water from very good workout yesterday. I added some weight to my barbell squats and additional reps to rear side lunges. Legs are feeling it this morning...

Got Ace trimmed up - well, neck, shoulders, ears and sides of face and he looks quite smart! (It took 2 hours Diane! LOL) Have to do his butt and top of head today. then body coat and legs tomorrow.

I am still adjusting to life on meds. I am struck multiple times per day by the profound difference I feel. I don't feel euphoric, but I do feel terribly "even" and I guess "positive" would be an apt descriptor.

Liz and Paula and Joey - thinking of you and sending positive mojo! You all are having a tough go at the moment. So much surrounding you that potentially depletes personal energy!
