Thanksgiving 2009

Here are some pics from Thanksgiving. I haven't felt much like posting. Just don't feel like I have alot to say. Trying to ride out some Crazy Brain stuff. Sometimes I wish I would just grow up already. I just don't feel excited. About anything. Even my weight loss. I am glad, grateful and humbled, but not excited. I just feel stagnant. Nothing is really wrong. Just feeling at dis-ease.

I am not as vigilant about my food as I was. Or water. It's still a hell of alot better then last year. I am not beating myself up. Still walking or biking everyday though. It's the best part of my day!

You know, I knew in my head that if I lost weight, it would not solve all my problems. I learned that when I got clean. Just cause I got clean, things didn't get magically better. I wouldn't be magically be happy. It's an inside job. I am the only one that can change me. I wish I wasn't so afraid of change. grrrrr

Enjoy the pics......keep the mood and the food real. Make the change!

This is my 6 year old Gson. Love that face. It reminds me of his mother....lol

This is the 3 year old....he told me I was the best GeGe ever Sunday morning while I was fixing pancakes. Cute little guy.This is my walking buddy and her hubs at The Turkey Trot. We all went together.

My SIL, son and my son's BF. Oh, and Wizard, dog extraordinaire!


Cutest PIC! I love it that the boys always put their arms around each other in pics. My daughter had her Christmas lights up the weekend before Thanksgiving. Tree up the day after! That's my girl!


This is the youngest. Last year she had no hair..lol


And last but not least, the 2 and half year old. She has knockout eyes! She's going to be a heart breaker.



Me and my walking buddy, after the race~

    Beautiful family you have, Dana. It's obviously a family full of love. As they say,

    This too shall pass - it's just a feeling, not an emergency. Just keep doing good things, keep your mind in the right place and everything else will follow suit, eventually.

    Hugs to you.

    Dana, the other comments have pretty much summed up what I had to say. Just keep doing what you've been doing. You have come such a long way in your journey. We all have times we feel the blahs! Just hang in there and remember we're all out there for you!

    Your family is beautiful! I'm sure you had a wonderful time with them!

    {Hugs} Debbie

    Loved seeing the family Dana, such a beautiful bunch. I know what you mean about the weight loss not fixing everything but I must say it does help with a lot of things.

    Cute pictures! Don't get discouraged, you're doing so well! We all have those times where it's hard to stay motivated though. Keep thinking of the positives. Awesome job on keeping up with those workouts, they'll pay off!

    It is so hard to keep up a high level of commitment, but we all go through highs and lows. You will get your energy back soon, just hang in there for now.

    Your g-kids are SOOO cute. You are one lucky GeGe.

    Lovely, lovely pics - I am so glad you have such a wonderful family. I think you are the best Ge-ge ever!

    Yeah, I too realised early on that losing weight doesn't solve everything, but it does prove to us that we are made of strong stuff, we have learnt that we can overcome problems. I do feel a lot more confident to deal with all the difficulties life throws at me now, whereas last year was a different matter.

    Hope TCB eases up on you - I am blaming the full moon!

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...
