Well I walked on the treadclimber for 20 mins. I hope the knee stays ok. So far so good. I went to bed early last night so I stayed OP all day yesterday. I have meals planned out for today and the fridge here in the office is stocked with good healthy things.....and S/F tropical popsciles. I love those damn things. Not really much else to post at this time. I am really enjoying reading everyone elses blogs. Some of them make me very grateful for my own problems. I feel so bad for all the people who's scales aren't movong or gaining even though you are doing everything right. I hope that by the time that starts happening to be I will go thru it as well as alot of you out their. Thanks to all of for your examples of sticking to it! Best get to work......have a good day.

    You are absolutely right. Reading other peoples journals serves lots of purposes for me. It gives me motivation and inspiration and it makes me realize that I'm not alone and that other people are struggling also....makes me feel not so alone...and reminds me that my struggles and problems are not all that bad and out of the ordinary.

    Sounds like you're on a roll. Doesn't it feel good? I know it does for me when I can string a few good habits together! :)

    you are doing great! As for plateaus.......luckily they seem to happen after quite a while into the journey. Seriously, if it had happened near the beginning, I don't know if I would have stuck it out.......I have learned so much along the way...it's all part of the fun!

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
