another Wed

I will get right to the weigh in. 187.6 lbs. That is a whopping 4.2 lb loss. I am happy about getting that 4 lbs off that I put on last week. Note to self. Stop buying the bag of 400 mini tootsie rolls. Seriously, what the hell was I thinking?! I have had a good week emotionally as well. Nothing has changed, still don't know anything new about the car. I am still quite broke, but can pay my bills. I am grateful for that, for sure!

Walked with another walking buddy this morning. She walks so slow. UGH! Oh well. I made up for by riding the bike to work the long way. No rain today. It's suppose to be sunny and 80 by the end of the week. It was chilly this morning. I am grateful for that as well. I can't stand the heat, so this is nice. I will enjoy "winter" as long as I am able.

My daughter is bringing her family into town to visit tonight. Since I don't have a car she has made Wed "visit GeGe night". I am making a crock pot roast with veggies. At least I think I am.

Sorry to see that my friend Jinx has decide to shut down her blog. I will miss her.

Keep the mood and the food real........

    I saw a ginormous bag of Tootsie Rolls at Sam's the other day (I walked down the candy aisle just to torture myself, lol) and thought of you, Dana! They sure are addicting - I remember plowing through a bag and the next morning my jaw was sore from chewing so much...but did that stop me the next time? Hah!

    Congrats on the loss!!! You are doing great, my friend!

    I'm at the point now that i know that any junk i bring into the house i will end up having so i've decided to leave it at the store! Sometimes easier said than done.

    Dude you are rockin' it! I need to come over and eat some of your roast. It has been quite a while since I have seen a loss. I do miss that. Good job on all your hard work paying off! You are getting so skinny....

    What a huge loss! Congratulations! Your Tootsie Rolls are my jelly beans. Made a pledge this year to not eat even one. I can't stop once the bag is open!

    Pot Roast? I'll be right over.

    Nice job! Yeah..sugar...can just be a bad thing. Esp 400 pieces of it all in one place. If there was a way to limit it to 5-10 a day...maximum..then I'd say you were golden. But...when it is there..in the big bag...erg. It is so hard. You did great. Keep it up!!

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...
