This too shall pass........

You guys are just the sweetest. Thanks for all the motivation. I did ok with food yesterday. Too many strawberries, oh well. I fell asleep fairly early so that cuts down on the night time eating. As planned. Drank a buttload of H20. Rode the bike to and from work yesterday. Got my walk in early again this morning and rode again to work. Probably won't ride home. It's suppose to get up to 90 today. I'll bum a ride home.

I got on the scale this morning and I was up alittle again. I am now back into the 90's WTHell?? I remember that everyone was saying how prednisone puts on alittle weight. I was finished taking it a couple of days ago. Maybe it's still got to get out of my system.

Not freaking out, cause well hell, that never solves anything. My clothes all still fit. I just kind of feel bloating and puffy and kind of in a fog. Ever since last week. Not finding my joy to often. Thinking about the past or the future. Never a good sign. Doing what I need to do for me. I have set some spiritual goals and I am keeping up with those as well. Spending alittle more time in the scriptures. Finding the comfort that I need. I am sure this too will pass. Feeling kind of weepy too. About nothing....UGH!

All in all LIFE IS GOOD. I have lots to be grateful for and I AM! Just typing this makes me feel better. Less "doomsday-ey" That my word.

Keep the mood and the food real...........this too shall pass....it ALWAYS does!

    I don't think there is any such thing as too many strawberries unless they are accompanied by shortbread ;-)

    Happy Tuesday, Dana. I'm so glad you are my friend.

    Too many strawberries is far better than too many donuts. :)

    Too many strawberries beats too many Tootsie Rolls by a mile! Hang in there - your mood could be the result of coming off the prednisone (as well as the weigh-in).

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...
