45 degrees this morning, and heading for 60! I MUST MUST walk today. I say that every day. And every day I’m motivated. Yesterday, guess what I did instead!? I went to the doctor to get a Diflucan. Whatever. No time to walk. I didn’t physically feel like it with that ailment. Since symptoms began to inhibit my activities, I decided to get medicine. I tried everything that I could. I did an almost perfect job as nothing showed up on the results of the test. Just still had the symptoms—minor, but there.
Weigh in was 148.8 this morning (154 at the doctor—GRR). I keep eating sweets! Argh! Today I will not eat sweets. I have to move myself out of that behavior. I can have them in the freezer and not eat them! I didn’t over eat at all. I felt good when I went to bed—I did eat frozen yogurt. I felt like it would be a good idea concerning the infection. Sugar is not good concerning the Candida.
Dinner went well—Pork, green beans and super buttered potatoes. I had a perfect portion of each. I sprinkled some garlic salt on my veggies and potatoes. That was fantastic. Wow. After dinner we watched a little of the Taxas Hasan case/Washington rally on the news and I crocheted. Bed time came immediately after that, which leads me to NOW. 
Time to begin a new day.
Nothing planned for today. Blank slate. I dig it. Tomorrow is work and a trip to Albertville, MN. Albertville has a huge outlet mall and I’m going with The Mumsy to shop for kitchenware. Okay, time to sign off. HopefulMe signing off.

It’s 28 degrees this morning. Love it! I’m going to go for a walk as soon as I finish up my entry.
Yesterday. It went pretty well, but I ate more sugar than I wanted/needed to and my hernia caused me problems. Did I walk yesterday? Nohh. Why? Because I sewed and blogged instead! I didn’t have my hands in the cookie jar, at any rate. Lunch was 1 caramel, toast and a slice of cheese. I ate several candies during my transition from job to job, however. Sigh. Dinner was rotini with meat sauce and a slice of bread, which is ALWAYS too much! I skipped dessert—it was far too late anyway. I felt so fat and depressed at bed time. Sick. So today I am determined to walk after this entry. I need to think anyways.
Since my sewing blog is so new, no one knows about it, other than here. I decided to send a bulk message to friends and family to share the address and I’m feeling a little nervous. I’m so private, even when it comes to basic and general things like crafts. I don’t share much about myself or even share activities that I enjoy doing in solitude. My true feelings are “who would care to know these things about me” and “I’m not worth it.” That’s part of my low self-worth/esteem. So I’m nervous. I know that my family will like to see it though. Well, I’m not so nervous that I’m overeating about it. 
Today I’m walking and sewing. No job1, so I’m working more hours at job2. Dinner will be pork chops and probably butter potatoes and green beans. I don’t want to go near Kraut, but I know it’s good for me. Okay, time to sign off and get bundled for my walky-walk! MovingMe signing off.

It’s 37 degrees this morning. I’m feeling creative. I am going to sew today before work.
Weigh-in was 151.2. I’ve had better months, and baking Christmas cookies isn’t helping. Even though I watch what I’m eating, I do eat more than I “should”. But I’m enjoying myself and that’s gotta count for something. Maybe a nice walk today is in order.
I’ve been spending a lot of time with The Mumsy and it has been good at this point. I need to start having some productive time alone now, however. Our big baking day turned into a minor baking day, as I decided that I was too tired to press on. We made eggnog bars which were only satisfactory, but the Mum gobbled some and took the rest home. The caramels (photo in previous entry) turned out magnificent and I gobbled up more than my share for one day. Dinner was chicken stir-fry with Jasmine rice. We split the last piece of apple pie.
I suppose I won’t drone on today. I’ll stop while I’m ahead. Now that I mentioned a walk, I MIGHT feel motivated to do that. I’ll sign off now and save some energy. Okay, I really feel like crawling back into bed. LOL …SleepyMe signing off.
