Regrouping

Well I have another very busy, very hectic day. Still at work. Playing a waiting game with the irrigation. I got on the scale this morning. After I tried on a pair of pants that fit fine 2 weeks ago. Very snug. Have gotten back up to the danger number on the scale. Everyone has that number. The stop crapping around number. Lose it, or else number. I am confidant that it will come off. It's getting harder to loose it as fast as I did last year though. Granted, I am not putting my all into it this summer like I did last summer. So I have gone to the food store. Lots of fruits and veggies. Planned some meals. Filling up H20 jugs. Ready for my attack.

I have pooped around in this general scale area for about 6 months now. I planned on taking a break from weight loss. I wanted to maintain for a while. Give my head a chance to catch up with my body. My son is getting married in March. I want to loose 25 lbs by then. It is doable. I am starting to feel that I can do more. That I am ready to more. Now get on it Dana!

I got great news yesterday. Both my sisters and a niece and a nephew will be here the 1st of August. One sister is coming all the way from Tokyo. Her entire family is coming for a couple of weeks. We have decided to have my daughter's baby shower while both "Aunties" are here. For those of you who don't know, I get "little kid" excited about seeing my sisters. So this is certainly something to look forward to!

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

    I think it's good to have taken a break from weight loss - practicing maintenance is very necessary! Sounds like you are ready, mentally, to get back on the horse and lose some weight...and you will be one smokin'hot mother-of-the-groom come March!

    So happy for you that your sisters and family will be coming for a visit - I remember the last time your Tokyo sister made it out, how excited you were. Fun times ahead - yay!

    Yep, I agree with Shelley. I think it's okay to maintain for a while. I never learned to do that before, so not gaining is a victory!

    I am thrilled that your "sissies" are coming! How fun! And the baby shower to boot - all good things.

    I hear you on the stocking up - while I didn't stock up, I did do a bit of planning tonight and rode to the store to pick up a couple of things to make tomorrow's meals a bit more interesting!

    Hugs!

    The last few weeks have not been good for me in the eating department...too much stress and/or fun with visitors = lots of food and booze = weight gain (4 lbs...boooo). So now that everyone is gone, I'm trying to get back on the straight and narrow. It's hard! :-( but I (we) can do it.

    Hang in there, you can definitely lose 25 lbs in 9 months. But even if you don't lose that much, you'll still be a gorgeous Mother of the Groom.

    I agree with the other ladies that maintaining sometimes is what we need. I'm tickled for you that your sisters are coming to visit too.

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 miss them terribly, but at the same time I feel like this

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

Dana Does Cancer

Good Morning! It's been a long time since I used this blog. I've decided that I had so much success using this blog as a tool to lose 100 pounds, I'm going to blog my way as I fight cancer To The Best of My Ability. Yep, it looks like I have rectal cancer. There is a 20 mm tumor in the old poop shoot. Just shows Heavenly Father has a sense of humor. Seems a fitting consequence for being an asshole for the first half of my life. (my two children will verify this) The good news it's not gone to the lymph nodes per the CT scan, I will get the results of a PET scan, along with a port for chemo Monday or Tuesday. And so it begins... I have every reason to be optimistic. It's still early. I'm still  going to need radiation and chemo to shrink the tumor and wait 5-6 weeks and have a resection, then more chemo is needed. I am grateful for health insurance, though I can't work for at least six months, maybe more. When I went to the surgeon on Friday he told me I
