it's done

My day is not off to a good start. I didn't get home till almost midnight last night......that is SUPER late for me. I didn't wake up till 5 am and didn't get out the door to walk until an hour later. It was so freaking hot. Starting an hour earlier makes all the difference. It was so juicey out there this morning. If anyone tells you that Arizona heat is a dry heat.....don't believe it. It seemed so hard this morning.

My knee is feeling funky, doesn't really hurt, but I can tell it's there. I walked for 40 mins......probably went alittle less then 3 miles. I was just not feeling it. I tired to make the best choices yesterday. The brekkie place didn't have anything really healthy. I left a plate of chessey potatoes (on the way to the bathroom I told the waitress to take it away) and gave away the biscuit, after having a little taste. I LOVE both! So that was a victory. At the bbq I had WW sloppy joes and serving of fruit and macaroni salad. And lots of fruit. They went to the fireworks and I stayed back with the girls. I hate being out there in the heat and people, and they would have been pistols. Had they just gone somewhere where I could have sat in an air conditioned car I wouls have gone...lol. I got caught up on The Closer. My daughter has all this season recorded. LOVE that show. Brenda Johnson rocks!

i am feeling kind of "ick".....I think I am going to go back to bed for a while. I am still tired. Glad I just got up and walked. It was really hard this morning. BUT IT'S DONE!!!

Feeling like a brat today.......damn it

Do your best, keep the mood and the food real.

    You are not a brat. Everyday won't be unicorns and rainbows, but you are making the best of it. You got up, got your walk in and now you are treating yourself to a nap. All good things.

    I did the same thing - I got up at 4am and stayed up until 6 and then went back to bed for almost three hours. Unheard of for me, but it's all okay. Hope you have a good nap.

    Way to go on walking even when you didn't feel like it. Way to go on passing up the food too, that's always tough. I think I'm ready to go take a nap too *smile*.

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
