What a dummy I am! Last night I decided I'd better get back on the treadmill and get rid of the .5 lb. that crept on yesterday. I started walking but only made it one mile. My chest was just burning as was my throat. If I'd thought about it, it only makes sense with the cold that I have I shouldn't be exercising. Spent the rest of the night coughing and complaining bitterly to dh (who gave me the cold!). He made me miserable so I'm allowed to pass it on to him. lol

I couldn't believe the scale this morning...another .5 gain. I hardly ate anything yesterday!! Even dinner was only a very small tuna salad. I'm not hungry because of the cold and this is the way I get rewarded...bah!! Tomorrow better be better or there will be a blurb on the news about this strange thing flying through the air (my scale!)

More snow last night. Today it's supposed to start warming up a little for the weekend. That would be good for the funeral on Sunday. Standing in a graveyard while it's snowing isn't my idea of a good time. (actually standing in a graveyard anytime isn't a good time I guess.)

Back to work...tomorrow and Monday I'm off.

I think a cold has a tendency to retain fluids in your body (I sure know it does for me)
so, just consider it a lot of snot

Mary Kay, that's "snot" funny! (Well, yes it is!)

Donna, I sure hope things start improving for you. Take good care of yourself.

Mary Kay, you are hilarious. I needed a good laugh to start my day. Thanks!

Nita: Same to you!

Okay, just a fly by before I have to get ready to leave for town. Tonight is the viewing of my dfil and it's going to be a tough weekend all around. I'll be glad when it's overwith. But, even then it's still going to be hard. You know how the family fights are when someone thinks there is a lot of money? Well, that's what's going to happen...and there isn't any money but they don't know that. Come Monday when we sit dmil down and tell her the facts there is going to be alot of screaming. I'm going to have to watch my dh and his mom very carefully...they both have high blood pressure. Good thing I have broad shoulders.

So, I'm off to do a thousand and one things in just a couple of hours. See ya all next week.

Donna, take care of yourself. I'm so sorry you have to be sick during such a difficult time. Try to de-stress a bit, if you can. And put yourself first from time to time, and get enough rest.

Donna, hope you're holding your own during this time. Thinking of you my dear.

Well, the funeral is over and now we can get back to our routines and do some healing! Dmil is holding her own for now, but there will be many trips to town to see for ourselves that she is okay.

I made a total mess of my woe this weekend. I've never seen so much food brought over to dmil's house. Trays and trays of food. I thought my choices weren't so bad...but I know I ate way, way too much cheese. Should have concentrated on the meats I guess. I haven't had a decent dinner since Friday night! The weight on the scale this morning disgusted me...but, I deserve it. It definitely was not worth what I've done to myself to eat all that crap. I feel terrible, so I'm back on track starting today!!!

Donna, STOP IT!!!
Don't beat yourself up, girlfriend! You were in a very stressful situation and mindful eating is not at the top of anyone's list at a time like that.
Be kind to yourself for a bit; let your mind and body regain composure and calm, then move on, with NO GUILT.
I know....easier said, than done.
OK....the real reason I stopped in was to say hey...and give you these.....



(((((((((hugs))))))))))

Life deserves a treat now and again, but life also deserves being healthy[with required disipline] to make it worth living!

Donna - Here's some more {{{HUGS}}}! Feeling any better with that cold?

Okay...life goes on. The next page of my soap opera life can now open lol

Seriously, thanks for the hugs guys. Sure does help. I know it's been stressful, but the worst is over. I always think that sometimes the funeral is the worst part.

I was soooo good yesterday and the scale showed me that...3 lbs. down this morning. I was pretty sure it was water gain, but it was still a relief when the scale showed it. Now to get rid of the rest of the 14 that I've packed on and that are not water gain.

Snow clouds are sitting just over the mountain where I work. I'm pretty sure it means another dump today. There isn't any wind so I doubt they will be blown somewhere else. Spring sure does sound good about now, but then I seem to be handling winter better this year than I have in previous years.

The cold is just about gone. Wow, that sure came on fast and didn't last for too long. Good! I have a little bit of a scratchy throat but that's nothing compared to what it was.

Okay...back to try to make a dent in the mountain of paperwork on my desk.

Last night I dusted off my old Richard Simmon's exercise record. Yup...record. I love the music with it so I think that's why I stick with it. Anyway, I did one side of the record and then jumped on the treadmill. Woke up this morning pretty stiff and sore. But, I was hyped to get on the scale. Damn...up 1 lb. Stupid &*(&*&* scale!! Doesn't seem to matter what I do, nothing budges. I won't give up though.

Today marks 56 days sober for dd! I'm so proud of her. She starts her new job on Monday and is pretty excited about it. I do believe that I just might have my daughter back!

Okay, off to do some work....maybe! lol

donna, great to hear about your daughter, my dh is bi polar, and shouldn't drink, but he wants to have one every now and then like everyone else, but he cant, it is a constant struggle with him....
currently getting his meds re=adjusted again....maybe this time....
hope all is well, you might want to just put a box over that scale and wait about 2 weeks and then see what it says.... I hate getting on it and feeling great how youare doing and it says you gained....where did that come from...lol
take care
carolyn
