be kind......to yourself too.

I had a nice weekend. It's getting hot here already. 100 degrees within days. Dang it. I am not ready for the heat. Went walking on Saturday and Sunday. My knee seems to be bugging me a bit. I just strolled through the bird park with my grandson Sunday morning, went for mile. He loved it! He was such a good boy for his overnight. My daughter decided to stay home and paint, so I didn't have to sit. I just took my 5 year old grandson home.

I went to church yesterday, but I was dripping in sweat. I left early. Nobody else seemed that hot. My sweating problem really can effect my life. It is embrassing to have the sweat GLEAMING off your face and down your back. My hair was soaked half way up the back of head and running down my back yesterday. I am waiting for my Seven Plus juice to come in the mail. Maybe today. I really think it helps my knee and my hot flashes.

I felt alittle tense and anxious yesterday afternoon. I felt exhausted after church, so I just napped and watched TV the rest of the day. I was, of course, up at 3:30 AM That's ok, I wasn't starving, and wanting to eat like an emotional wreck.......like I was yesterday. I feel beeter this morning though. Weigh in at WW tonight. I have to admitt, I weighed at my daughter's and I was down like 5 lbs from the WW weight last week. I don't believe it....so I am nor even getting my hopes up. We'll see! The most important thing is I am paying attention to what I am eating, I really doing the best I can, and I am FEELING better. Both physically and emotionally. Sometimes even both...on the same day! I was able and wanted to spend time outdoors with my grandson instead of sitting in the house watching a DVD. I know I am looking better, cause people are actually asking me if I've lost some weight. That is nice, but there again, I know I need to keep going. I am almost down to my lowest weight from when I lost weight last year. My goal is to NOT SABOTAGE MYSELF!!! Give myself a break, I am dealing with lots of stuff. I just will not quit.

We looked at homes on Saturday, but they are bank owned and kind of yuck. So I am still going to look around. Something will happen.

Have a good Monday......Remember how quick Friday came last week. I am going to go get myself spiritually centered. Or as some people call it...PRAY. Say kind things to others and yourself today!

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
