PROGRESS!

Having a good morning. My weight was 187 again this AM. So that is down like 1.6 from last week. I am happy about that. That is 2 weeks in row that I have shown a loss. That's progress! I did good with food yesterday. Though I was hungrier. I knew that I might have jinxed myself. I walked for 40 mins this morning on the treadclimber and really worked up a sweat. Felt really good.

The financial guy canceled on me last night. To tell the truth I was so exhausted by the time we were supposed to meet I was kind of glad. We are shooting for tonight.

My daughter has had no more bleeding. Thank you so much for all your supportive comments from yesterday. Your good thoughts and prayers were really heartfelt and appreciated.

I have been thinking about selfishness. I have worked really hard at trying to put selfishness behind me. I try to be honest in my dealings with others and myself. I am grateful for my OWN moral compass. Everyone has there own. That is the thing about free will.

I have been reading another blog. That's what made me think about selfishness. I was almost appalled by a response to a comment I made. I will take my problems ANY DAY OF THE WEEK and be grateful for them. I am grateful for my willingness to look at myself, HONESTLY, and then try to improve instead of making excuses. Being honest with yourself is the toughest kind of honesty. I am not saying that I am perfect at it. I said TRYING. It's progress not perfection.

Keep the mood and the food real..........PROGRESS!

    Glad your daughter is doing better I did say a prayer for her (and you). I think prayer is such an important part of life. Hope the meeting goes well tonight. I know what you mean about working on not being selfish. Sometimes though others take things the wrong way or just don't want to except responsibility for things. I'm always reminding myself it's about them not me. *hugs*

    Glad your daughter has stopped bleeding... I hope you can sort something out with the financial services chap - I know how all-consuming debt can be (been there in the past) and you just have this constant feeling of 'dread' (or worse) hanging over you... :o(

    Thinking of you and sending lots of postive thoughts your way.

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...
