Happily surprised

I still manged a 1.4 lb loss last night at WW. I know it's the walking that is saving my butt. I will take the loss and will continue to improve my food choices and increase my H2O. I still don't drink enough water, and I love H2O. I went food shopping at Sprouts after the meeting and got some more waffles ( they really stayed with me yesterday morning ) and some pop chips, love those things. I also pick up some celery....I ate some at book club and it was so sweet, almost like candy. I am hoping that mine is as good. I bought a pricey watermelon last week and it was no good. I hate that. Waste of money!

No word on the houses yet. It's going to be a little bit longer of a process to find out. Both houses have a few bids. I am going out again tonight to look at another one. I am bound to be a home owner! I can wait. When I have a backyeard I am going to have a garden. I am feeling better and better about moving. Not as scared...at least not right this minute.

I know this might sound dumb, but I never noticed how I tied my shoelaces. I read on some blogs about how people where saying that the bow is off to one side because it is hard to tie shoes and be fat. I looked down, and yep, shoelaces where off to the side. Well.....I have been making sure that my bow is in the middle of my shoe. I am not sure why this is so important to me. Everytime I tie my shoes now, I smile, cause my bow is in the middle. I can bend over and tie my laces IN THE MIDDLE............that's a new NSV.

I am going to stay busy at work today......I'll be glad when next week's audit is over. Not so tingling today.....so YEA. Off to walk........

Stay positive.......

    Way to go on your loss! Woo-hoo!

    I get the shoe laces thing! Mine are to the side, and if I sit on the couch I can get the tied in the middle, but if I sit on the bed or a chair, I'm still to the side. Some day. lol

    Hoping the right house finds you and I can picture you gardening already!

    Congrats on the loss, walking is so good for you and it seems to be paying off. Good luck with the house hunting, when the right one comes along things will work out for you! We put in an application for a rental house last monday and I found out today that weve been accepted. So I know things will work out, how exciting tho to own your own home!

    yay for the loss!!! Great victory on the laces. I remember it too well.......having to sit on the floor to tie my shoes. Now I can do it from a standing position and it doesn't cut off my oxygen........oh, the little things....that's the payoff!

    I just bought a house and it was so stressful. It's totally worth it all though. Good luck on it!

    Congrats on your loss!

    I am with you...I hate spending good money on produce that turns out to taste icky! I've found with watermelons that the grocery store ones are usually lackluster. I will only eat ones taht I get from local farmers! SOON!!!

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
