here's the 411

Here's the 411. I am feeling better. I walked 3.7 miles this morning plus rode the bike to work. That is the one thing that I have not stopped doing, and that's my morning walk. At least 3 miles everyday. No excuses. Pardon me while I break my arm to pat my own back.

I am up on the scales again this morning. It's ok. This too shall pass. I am having a hard time. Everything everyone said yesterday made a lot of sense. I know that I am using food. Believe me, I know. I do have a lot going on. Sometimes I just feel like I should be Super Woman. That I shouldn't feel things so much. I feel things deeply. I think that's the reason I started using drugs. I must remember they are just feeling. They won't kill me. Yes, they are uncomfortable. Yes, I am allowed to bitch and moan if I want. Yes, it's just temporary.

Eating was better yesterday, but not perfect. I drank a lot of water and the bags under my eyes weren't so bad this morning. I brought watermelon and an apple to work.....no Jr Mints. This is my new treat. Frozen Jr. Mints. Get a grip Dana! Guess what? If you don't buy the crap it doesn't go into your mouth. So simple...right??

Robin Hood was good. I love Cate Blanchet. Love her! I plan on working and then going swimming this afternoon when I get home. Finally finished that stupid 4.5 hours online traffic school. UGH! Only cost me $200. Ugh again. Hope everyone has a good Tuesday...........

Keep the mood and the food real

    So glad that you are feeling better. Yep, I keep having to learn that feelings aren't emergencies.

    And you should pat yourself on the back. Getting exercise every day is a great way to practice good self-care. Don't let the bump up on the scale worry you. You know how to fix it - it's not an emergency either. Just ease back into what you know works by doing the next right thing (which just might be leaving the candy at the store ;-) )

    And you are absolutely allowed to bitch and moan (not that you ever really do). As you know, you can either talk it out or act it out. Talking is the better option.

    Have a great Tuesday, Dana.

    Exercise every day deserves a parade. REally. Emotions are so tough. I have a hard time coping. I think you should be marshal of the parade, that you do not have to organize.

    So glad you're feeling better. And how brilliant is Roxie's saying "I have to learn feelings aren't emergencies"!? Good grief - I was totally under water emotionally this weekend and ate my weight in crap.

    Your daily exercise is great! I'm starting to build a morning walk back in before my 7 am aa meeting - just 30 minutes. It loosens the cobwebs! Hang in Dana. Everything shifts and changes.

    I love how you have made exercise just a part of your life - I wish I could make transportation part of my exercise like you do. Pat yourself on the back all you want - you deserve it!

    Frozen Jr. Mints you say? Sounds tasty!

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...
