BORING!




That's me all bundled up for my walk in the 45 degree weather. Please do not hate me. You can throw it all back in my face this summer when it's 120 degrees.

Another day another post. I have posted everyday this week. Good for me. Actually I am BORED. I have lost both my old people and now after work all I have is time. I did go on a nice bike ride yesterday after work. So what does Dana do when she's bored. Well she eats of course! GRRR. Hey, at least I am upping my exercise. I am in awe of people that go to the gym and work out for hours. I just don't have it in me. Maybe one day, but for now I am happy with my little routine.

I got on the scales this morning for shits and giggles and found an eight after the one. It's not official, but it does make me feel good. The last time I weighed in the 180's I was in rehab at the Salvation Army. That was in the late 90's. I wasn't even a really skinny tweeker....just my luck. It still took me another 3-4 years to change my life. Yes, I am STUBBORN and prideful.

I told myself if I lost the weight I would not complain about loose skin. Well I am not complaining, but I am sagging. It's like my skin is "puckering". It's just weird. Even the skin on my forearms. Oh well, if that's all I can think of to bitch about today, well then my life is pretty good.

I think I will call my friend and meet at the bird park and go for a walk after work. I am going to take the Gsons to the drive in again tomorrow night then another sleep over. I might as well do it while I am in the mood and the weather is nice. Anyway, that's the plan. It's all up for revision....lol.

My son is getting his other 2 wisdom teeth out today. I will be so glad. They have really been bothering him. It sucks to see your kid in pain. He kind of looks like a convict as of late. His sister accidentally (that's her side of the story...lol) cut his hair too short, then off comes all the hair. I told his boss ( I work at the same school he does ) to make him shave his beard. Told him to tell my kid that it was in the dress code or some stupid thing. He just looked too creepy. Way to control and manipulate your kid, Dana. Oh well. He does look much better.

I am not sleeping well. It's because with boredom and the eating, I am now falling asleep at 6 pm and then I am up at 3 am. Again, I need to stay busy. I am not going to beat myself up too much. I am getting back to a normal here at work this week. Before the break I was at a dead run all day. cause I was taking care of Mr. 92. I need another old person. It will happen. When I don't sleep well I am more apt to believe what TCB tells me. So I am NOT going to be my own worse enemy today. Intention set!

Keep the mood and the food real..........don't believe half of what your head tells ya.

    I dream of the 180's. Haven't been there since 1992. I am determined to see it in 2010 though! And me, I am totally going to frequently bitch and whine about the loose skin.

    The loose skin makes me wish I could have plastic surgery. But I'm poor and I'm a wimp!

    Way to go on the 180's. That's always the toughest time when the scale wants to bounce around the 10 lb marks. Have a good time with the kids tonight. Hope a new person comes along soon I know there are plenty out there that could use your help.

    Yay for the 180's!

    Laughing at you going to bed at 6pm - no wonder you are up so early! Hope you can find something to keep you busy - what about doing some knitting or crafts in the evening? Of course I am one to talk as I do not know how to knit, but it looks like fun!

    I believe that the little routines are better. We are more likely to stick to it if we don't go overboard. By the way Virgil is the first name of detective flowers, and I can't wait for the book to come out.

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...
