Wed Weigh In

Wed Weigh In. I was up .4 lb. I will take it and back quickly away from the scales. I drank water up the wazoo yesterday. A gallon before noon. I was peeing all day. I am waiting to go walking. My hips have killed me. I felt like an old woman yesterday. Every time I stood up I felt like I had a catch in my get-a-long. I had a hard time getting "started".

Felt totally weird yesterday. Nervous as hell over nothing. Slept better last night. Slept all the way to 4:30. So go me! Today will be better. Went out to help my daughter with the Gkids last night. I took the kids on a long walk. Half way the 4 year old decided he didn't want to ride the scooter, and would I please take it. So I was trying to lead the scooter home and pull the girls in the wagon home. I think I pulled something again in this stupid arm. It is just so annoying.

The doc called and said that my cholesterol is much better, but that my fast blood sugar was alittle high. I am not going to do the blood glucose test. I probably woke up and put something in my mouth in the middle of the night that night.

Was on hold with the IRS for over 45 mins yesterday and still didn't talk to anyone. Try again today.

I am watching the news and they are doing a story about that dating website beautifulpeople. They kicked people off the site for gaining weight over the holidays. STUPID. Oh and by the the way......that's not news!

I am reading the new book by Greg Mortensen, Stones Into Schools or something like that. The book 3 Cups of Tea was written about his mission to build schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Read it. It is an important book. I was looking at TMZ website yesterday and saw that Angelina Jolie is reading the same book. That made me laugh!

Enough randomness. Got to get all bundled up to go out into that cold 45 degree weather. LOL! I am hearing on the news that the U.K. hasn't seen this much snow since the 1980's. BRRR. Anyone wanting to visit, COME ON! It will be 71 and sunny today. Great bike riding weather. I might ride to work this morning.

Keep the mood and the food real.......get moving!

    Did you do something to your hips that caused the pain? If it is just stiffness, you may just need to stretch a little longer after a workout.

    I would love to come visit we would have a grand time *smile*. I've been trying to talk to someone at social security so I know your pain. I get that nervous as hell feeling sometimes too, wonder what that's all about for us? Hope you have a great day.

    Let me just say I am impressed by your weight loss, good for you. It is inspiring seeing people having success. I am at the begining of my journey to lose weight. By the way it's awesome that you are a John Sandford fan. My wife is sick of me talking about Lucas Davenport.

    I bet you did do something with your awkwardness of carrying a scooter and pulling a wagon (and isn't it amazing how simple things can mess up our bodies). I bought my nephew his own golf pull cart because I was tired of either carrying his clubs or jerry-rigging them on my pull cart when he would get tired. Kids! :)

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...
