ZERO

I was waiting in line at the food store for the comparison/coupon shopper in front of me ( yes I usually pick the SLOWEST line ) to get all the $$ off she deserves. While in line I see the above candy bar STARING at me. Begging me to try it. I picked it up...it told me it had carmel, peanuts, and ALMONDS and covered in white chocolate. I racked my brain. Had I ever eaten all four of those things in one candy bar. Was I missing out? Would this be my one and only chance to try this? Hurry up lady....my will power is fading. I picked that stupid candy bar up 3 times. I had a battle with ME right there in the food store line. I started to sweat, then I got pissed, then...........finally it was my turn. The cashier rang me up......without the candy bar. I ran out of the store and literally peeled out of the parking lot. What the heck?? I was so happy that I didn't buy that candy bar that I was weeping. VICTORY! It's the small victories that win the war!!

Things are going good. I have done real well with tracking....I got that clicker count thing from WW Monday night and it sure helps! I have been walking 3 miles a day. Last night at my daughter's she had me doing leg lifts and sit ups and push ups. Is she trying to kill me?...I don't have that much life insurance! I throughly enjoyed the grandkids and we watched the Biggest Loser. I don't usually watch it, but my daughter does. I was inspired. Helen is my age exactly. If she can do it, so can I.

I went to plug in my printer to get my free KFC meal from Oprah and all my power went off upstairs. Flipped the breakers without any luck....is the universe trying to tell me something??? I guess I have to call an electrician. Again I say......What the HECK!

Called the doctor, finally got a return call yesterday. I have an appointment the 20th. Still have the zoloft tingles, and Dr. said I should tamper off more slowly and called in another few pills for me. Never again....never!!!

Still no word about the houses I have bid on. They are both short sales so it might be awhile. I can wait.

Have a great hump day.............claim your own victory today!

    Hey - well done on giving that bar a miss. Why oh, why do they bring out nice new bars when we are dieting, eh?

    Congrats on resisting that temptation! I'm guessing the "Zero" isn't the calorie and fat content! ;-)

    I do eat Dove Dark Chocolate every day. 2 small squares. I bite them in half and just let that piece melt in my mouth. Very satisfying!

    Too funny about the power going out at that time. But KFC does have grilled chicken now, so that's definitely better than the deep fat fried with extra crispy coating kind. :-)

    That is a huge victory, you should be happy! Often when the pressure is on and the cashier is ringing up my items and I just chuck the choclate bar in without thinking properly...

    Great work!

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...
