Friday January 20

200.  On the brink again.  Oddly, I gave in to emotional eating yesterday.  I did not want to break that seal, but I broke it wide open.  I won't list the demons, because I don't want plant its seed in your brains, but there was no glimmer of health in anything I ate ... emotionally ... while driving.  I felt very sick and out of it afterwards. Not guilty, because I know I was broken.  I am stronger today and realize that it did not help on any level. I also realize how helpful simple lists can be.  Thank you guys.

The scale was merciful this morning. I am going to laser focus to get to my goals.   

So sorry you are going through a tough time, but glad to hear you are strong today!

133.4. Down. Still not back into my exercise groove. Eating a little better. Good restriction today. I wonder why that changes from day to day, not always dependent on type of food eaten either!

Getting glimpses of the inauguration while seeing patient's today. Didn't like Trump's opening at all. Will have to watch it in greater detail later on.

No news from FL job for DH which makes him think it may be a no go. Not wanting to think about future winters in WI. Rainy cold day today. Better than snow or sleet.

Time to speed walk the hallways for the rest of my lunch!

Happy weekend!

Greetings Dear Grumblers

Well there is a lot to grumble about these days. Liz, glad you are feeling better and able to do more. Looking forward to your trip for you.

Dave hope the new med works. Good on DW for making it happen. 

Joey and Devon, sorry you had bad days. Fortunately, in this game we get lots of "do-overs".

Still at 132 and feel good for that. Made chicken last night and I pan grilled it in a little butter. Ever so delicious. I almost never cook with butter and didn't use much. Mushrooms too. 

Well the rain is back big time and it will be 4 or 5 days before we get a break. Wish I could beam myself to Hawaii for a bit. The older dogs are sleeping mostly and the puppy squeaks her toys non stop. Interrupts movies and music. She also makes the strangest puppy noises. I think she is an alien.

Well I think its eggs and thin deli ham tonight for dinner. Its a protein rich comfort food. We all need some comfort these days.. Just not the chocolate kind. 

Peace and hope. To borrow a phrase from our last president "yes we can".  Diane S
