i shouldn't have

Got on a scale at My friend's house, it's not digital like the scale I weighed on before, but IT had the nerve to tell me I had gained weight. Now, yes I know that I shouldn't freak out. I felt so good this morning about fitting in my last year jeans, andt now I am just sick to think that I might have gained, in my 2nd week, of ATKINS. Maybe I am not doing it right. I went to Chipotele's and ordered a chicken salad with no beans or rice. Except I did get just a wee bit of corn salsa. Even on dwlz.com it told me that was 22 carbs, after I had ate it. I only had just alittle, but still. I am not going to freak out, next time I go to Cassie's I will weigh. Those are the scales I weighed on last time. Fatty.....remember this is not just about weight. I have been much happier, calmer and hopeful. Just the small changes I have been making are making a difference in me emotionally for sure. Keep positive.....don't beat yourself up. Fatty, put down the bat, and step away from the bat. No Cassie's after work, she found someone closer to her to sit. So I guess I will go for a walk then to the library. It is beautiful day, it will be DAMN HOT too soon. I am going to scan for low carb bloggers.....

    For me weigh in is a ritual..........

    Always the same day and at the same time. I try to wait until after I have went to the bathroom in the morning and before I have downed all my water and coffee :) Food and liquid weighs a lot so the morning weight can be a good one to go with.

    I doubt you have gained......especially if those jeans fit!

    I think you should buy yourself a nice digital scale (walmart has them at a reasonable price) for Valentine's day. That way you can weigh in at a consistent time each week.

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
