starting over, almost 40, 320 lbs, the heaviest I’ve ever been

today should be fun too

Ah, the joys of having a Monday off work.  I am the only one awake in the house. DH is sleeping to his hearts content and DD is still recovering from her 4 day sleep over.  I promised to wake her up in a little bit though, the local parade goes right by our house.

I guess that says it all, today has been exhausting, and hot, but really fun and tomorrow is WI.  Off to a BBQ at mom’s for my out of town sister (who is visiting from Iowa) have a great OP weekend everybody!

Day 7, no scale, last day - I passed up the cookie

It’s about halfway through the last day of my 1 week no scale - I did better than usual and only had the one bobble, so yay me!  I have been pretty good, thinking a lot more about exercise and portions seem back under control.  Right now it is dinner time and DH is making [...]

Day 6, no scale - a pretty good day

I have recovered pretty well from the mid week blues, I stayed OP and away from the wheat and I feel better today, spent an hour in the pool and did about a half mile or so walking.
Tomorrow is a very early start to see the local 4th of July (Independence Day) parade.  Very Early.  [...]

Day 5, no scale, didn’t walk but did clean house

Well, it’s day five without me knowing what I weighed in at for the week.
My daughter is having a sleepover with two cousins, so I have been cleaning all day and truthfully I have thought very little about the scale or my diet plan - maybe that says something, that when it comes down to [...]

Really down this morning, long conversation with myself

I think this morning I just want to talk about my feelings for awhile …
I know that I am fighting a long term depression and that recovery takes a while and that even with meds I shouldn’t expect not to feel down sometimes.  But this is a bad one right now.  It started last night.  [...]

just walked 2 miles, yay me!

Just did a 2 mile walk! (one mile to library and back) and there were plenty of stops in the 2nd mile (for a picnic and at a video game store and one to rest in the shade) but I did it and since I took it nice and easy, my leg seems fine - [...]
