I'll take my life, thank you

Sometimes my life just seems so boring. Nothing big ever really happens. I just go about the business of living life. Then something happens that makes you really grateful for that boring life. Yesterday one of the guys that does maintenance where I work was shot and killed. I guess he walked in on a robbery over drugs or something like that. They found him in the doorway and another man was killed inside the home also. Totally freaked me out. He was a nice kid and I had just talked to him hours before he was shot. I knew he was having a hard time. His wife had just kicked him out. I figured his problems were drug related. It's very sad. I am so grateful I was able to leave that type lifestyle behind. I am grateful for my boring little life and for the blessing of being clean. My life could have been SO MUCH WORSE!! I got away with few consequences for the kind of life I was living.

I weighed at WW this morning and was DOWN 4.2 lbs. Bringing the total loss to 47.2 lbs. Feeling really good, happy with results of a really hard week. I just had a hard time with getting my walks in and staying on track with food. But I made time for the walking!! Food wasn't perfect, but better then the week before.

So I push onward and downward. I can't believe I am so close to Onederland and so close to having 50 lbs gone!

Keep the mood and food real.......be grateful for your problems today. You really don't want anyone else's.

  3. Oh my gosh, how very sad. sigh

    I am all for boring. I like to use the term uneventful instead. I'm just learning to add positives--really find them to add to the uneventful.

    Fab loss! Wow, you are doing so well. I am so happy for you!

    You really are such an inspiration. You have overcome so much, and you are just shining on this journey. Well done!!! =)
