Good Evening
Hello to all. I've got a weird "line" running through the middle of my pages. I couldn't send a PM this morning because of it. Hopefully I'll be able to post this when I'm done.
I haven't felt that great today, mostly just tired. I am going to physical therapy 3 times a week right now and I think it had something to do with that too. I had a splitting headache when I walked out of there yesterday.
I've been very busy, getting my business underway. I was also offered a teaching position at the local Joanne Fabrics. I talked to the disability people today and based on what Joannes told me about the time and money involved, I can do this without screwing up my disability benefits. It's really only going to amount to pocket money but it will help me buy supplies for making jewelry and maintaining a website. I found the perfect website deal this morning but I backed up too far and lost the page. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh well, I'm taking it as a sign that there is something better out there that I haven't stumbled across yet.
I've been busy making jewelry for the last couple of days and as much as I don't want to stop I need to get a firm grip on the business part of the business. How much this is costing me, what to charge, taking pictures of my inventory and just generally deciding what direction to head in. My own website? Ebay? Amazon? There are a lot of options, but until I know for sure whether or not I'm going to be getting my disability it's hard to do anything. I talked to them today and they said if I'm rejected there is more than enough in my file for them to file an appeal. They can't come right out and say it, but it looks like I'll be getting my benefits, one way or another.
My food has been good the last two days and I actually lost 8/10 of a pound. I'm so close to Onederland I can't stand it.
My hubby went to the PCP this morning and he was told he has got to start taking some of the weight off. I'm not one to nag but I have started a little bit. It took me most of my life to find a guy like him, I don't want him leaving me now. I gave him a lecture this morning about cereal. I won't go into the details but suffice it to say that he has got to start learning portion control. I brought up the subject of bypass surgery and he will not discuss it.
Anyway, I'm hoping to be at 199 tomorrow. If I gain again I'm going to cry. I haven't been able to get to water aerobics because of therapy and I need a way to get my exercise in.
Well I guess that's it for me for today. I hope you all lost some weight today.

Hey gal! I have been getting that line for 1 1/2 days, and it has finally stopped. Thankfully! It was making me crazy!
Wishing you all the luck with your disability and with your jewelry making.
Maybe with your hubby, you will have to just keep smaller meals available, and have him eat what you eat. That should help. Men lose easier thanus gals do. So sorry that Onederland is keeping you at bay. It did that with me too. Maybe a 3 day decarb will put you right where ya need to be to jump over that hump.
Hopefully the weather will get better and you can ride your bike if nothing else.
Hugs!
