keep winning


First off, the dreaded weigh in. I was up .5 lb. After the week I had, I will take it. I didn't put my best efforts in last week, but I did have a nice week with the Gkids. I will do better. I haven't really been eating real foods. Ok Dana, so do something about it already! Plan is in place, mojo in place!
The concert was AWESOME! Traffic was messed up and we missed about 20 mins of The Black Eyed Peas. That made me annoyed, but what are you going to do. It took us 2 hours to go about 50 miles. Crazy right?? U2 puts on a great show. Bono is just so super cool ( and handsome). They played for over 2 hours. Totally worth it.
What was awesome as well was how well I fit in my seat. How easy it was for me to walk from the car to my seat. I didn't sweat like a "fat girl". I felt comfortable in what I was wearing. I wasn't comparing myself to the other women there. Like, "am I as fat as she is" . I was just in the moment and enjoying myself. It's at times like this, as write all these wonderful changes that I CAN SEE ( I don't always give myself credit) that makes all the 5 am walks and bike rides and chicken and fish and veggies and fruit and water SO WORTH IT. It takes alot of hard work to loose weight, but it is so worth it. Actually, it's has hard as I make it. As it is with EVERYTHING in my life. Things of worth are usually hard won. I want to keep winning!
Keep the mood and the food real........keep winning

    That .5 will come off again pretty soon, I am sure.

    I love your attitude and agree, being able to DO so much more is worth every sore muscle, every missed slice of cake, every early morning start!

    And, hey, don't you look gorgeous in that photo, huh, huh?

    Oh..and...yes....I totally relate to your comments about ALL the mental energy spent on worrying about "fatness".... Farewell and good riddance to that...our mental powers are better spent elsewhere.

    Good stuff Dana. Being comfortable in your seat...in your skin...with other people.

    It is all part of it right?

    You have a great attitude! And .5 ain't too bad of a slip...if you are going to have one.

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...
