day 11....or something like that ( good news )

Well Good Morning....I didn't weigh yeatersday. Couldn't find decent scales. I don't own a scale. Better that way I have decided. But this morning I went to see what I was going to wear this morning..actually looking forward to getting dressed ( cut to just 2 weeks ago, still an absolute miracle) and I decided to try on some jeans from last year, and they fix....nicely! I couldn't believe it. They were probably too big from my thinnest last year, but who the hell cares. This like doubles my small wardrobe. I am down at least a size just in the first 2 weeks. This more then meets my expectations. I feel great, but I still don't think I want to get on the scales and maybe be disappointed. I will probably weigh at my daughters tonight, though. What do you guys think? No bread, pasta, potatoes and no sugar ( that I know about ) for almost 2 weeks. I don't miss it. I have urges, but just thought no, Fatty give it another 10 mins. Try not to be impulsive, think it through to the end. I am going to enjoy this feeling right now. My mojo is working hard today. I feel positive and like I might be able to trust meself again. Just keep making the choices that are the MOST loving for me. ( good, better, best )

In other good news. My knee feels better, lots better. My stairs weren't even that bad this morning, and morning is the worse. I keep forgetting to buy eggs. So no omlette this morning. I was sick again this morning after that new pill. I have to remember to eat something with it. I have my book club tonight, A Tree Grows In Broolyn. Who doesn't love that book! Probably babysit for Cassie this afternoon. Busy day. I reminded myself that this was a good news day. When I am feling like crap I can come back and look at this day, and convince myself it never lasts forever........everyone have agood day.

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I miss them terribly, but at the same time I feel like this

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don

Dana Does Cancer

Good Morning! It's been a long time since I used this blog. I've decided that I had so much success using this blog as a tool to lose 100 pounds, I'm going to blog my way as I fight cancer To The Best of My Ability. Yep, it looks like I have rectal cancer. There is a 20 mm tumor in the old poop shoot. Just shows Heavenly Father has a sense of humor. Seems a fitting consequence for being an asshole for the first half of my life. (my two children will verify this) The good news it's not gone to the lymph nodes per the CT scan, I will get the results of a PET scan, along with a port for chemo Monday or Tuesday. And so it begins... I have every reason to be optimistic. It's still early. I'm still  going to need radiation and chemo to shrink the tumor and wait 5-6 weeks and have a resection, then more chemo is needed. I am grateful for health insurance, though I can't work for at least six months, maybe more. When I went to the surgeon on Friday he told me I
