Worth while

Feeling alot better this morning. I was up at 2:30 AM. I went to bed really early last night. I started to watch The Biggest Loser while I packed and cleaned. I cried...and I don't even watch the show alot. But I could feel all those feeling. Could I ever. The shame, the frustration, the despair. This time I could also relate to the feelings of joy, confidence, acheiving something really hard. Way to go to all the losers. They all looked great!

I got back out and walked this morning. 3 miles and it felt great. Especially after watching the show. I ate yesterday. I felt like comfort food and went and tried mashed potatoes and grilled KFC chicken. Does anyone know what the points are for a breast? It was too good to be that good for you. Then I had a piece of fish for an early dinner. Tummy is feeling better, as the food stayed down. So good.

I am getting excited in my stomach like I did when I was a little girl. I am so excited to be going to my nephews wedding and both my kids and all grandkids will be there. I wish my sister from Japan could be there too, she will be very much missed. My son-in-law has called a few times from the road. I am kind of jealous, I like to travel by car. It's fun. He and I are great fun while my daughter sleeps the entire way, and watch out if you wake her up. GROUCH. That's why she and I are flying.

NVS.......while watching the show this morning I tired on a pair of size 18 NO STRETCH capris. I haven't been able to wear them and sit down for 7 years. Until this morning! Then I cried about that.......while I was crying about The Biggest Loser. I am a BOOB! It's amazing what a difference just the small amount of weight I have lost has made. I am going to keep going!

Something worth while is worth all the hard work.

    We'd better never get together because all we'd do is cry :) I was almost crying as you were describing how you hadn't been able to wear your capris for 7 years!!

    I love the "no stretch" part - only us plus-sized people get how important that is! Congrats on the size 18 - you are doing so well and I am so happy for you!!!

    Doesn't BL just make you want to work out all the time? I don't know what I'm going to do now that I have to wait until fall. I guess I'll just have to stick it out by myself, lol.

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 m...

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...
