WI Monday......week 2 on weight watchers

Well it's weigh in Monday. I think I will do good, I cheated and got on the scales at the daughter's house last night. I was down like 7 lbs., but that can't be right. I would be happy for just any lost. I ate so many sugar free tropical popsciles, and so much diet jello with FF cool whip. Plus, I ate an entire pineapple over the weekend. I just couldn't stop. I went to church yesterday with my daughter, and I ate dinner out there also. She had chicken pot pie, but I just had a smaller portion. It was Costco kind, it really wasn't that good. I really didn't do much this weekend. I didn't go to any movies ( rare ). Didn't do any housework either. I feel like I spent most of the weekend driving to my daughter's house. She live about 30 miles away. My knee was so sore last night. I was kind of ( ok I was a big ) brat. I whined all day yesterday. I hate it that I can't walk the way I want to. I have noticed that my gait is even differant. I have an appointment, I think tomorrow, with the doctor to go over the results of the MRI. Work will be good, Monday is a get used to being back to work day. I have been awake since 3 am. That drives me crazy when that happens. I have enjoyed reading lots of your blogs this weekend. So inspiring, and I really do feel like I have found a whole new group of friends. Well, I am going to try and clean my room before I get the heck out of here. Ok, one more thing.....I WANT TO LIKE OATMEAL. I'm sure this is a thing from childhood.....I really hated it, and my mom made me eat it. But it's such a good food, and I wondering if I could get some oatmeal tips.



Thanks.....let's make it a grrrrrrrrrreat day!

    Hope they're able to help you with your knee!! I know i'd be lost if i wasn't able to go on my walks. I'm sure you'll have a nice loss this week.

    Good luck with the knee!

    Oatmeal. I sometimes put some cut up banana in my oatmel OR cut up apple into my oatmeal BEFORE I cook it. (if you put it in afterward is just doesn't taste as good). I also splurge and do a bit of brown sugar (I add cinnamon if I'm adding apple). But what it comes down to is this. If you simply do not like oatmeal...then don't force yourself to eat it. This journey to health is about finding what works for you. If oatmeal is not your cup of tea...then move on to something that is! That is the only way that this will become a true lifestyle change!

    I don't think a whole pineapple is going to hurt you!! I love fresh pineapple:) And as far as the jello/cool whip goes...I have done that, too!!!! LOL!!

    I pray your knees get better.

    Oatmeal...it's not my fave either. I mean I like it but I wouldn't miss it. Ya' know? I like mine with lots of Splenda, sometimes cinnamon and almonds or other nut and a splash of milk.

    so many awesome things you can do with oatmeal. Here's a way you might like..........after cooking it add 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce and some cinnamon.......reheat if it's not warm enough......top with fat free yogurt--kind of apple-pie-ish with ice cream effect

    Good luck with WI!

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
