Good morning, Coaches.
Today is a great day. I slept through the night (yoo-hoo!! I am on a roll). Tomorrow will be my anniversary on this blog. I will have kept off a ten pound loss for five years. I see this as a great success rather than bemoaning the ten pounds I gained last year. I am still lighter than when I got married 14 yo ago and there has been a baby and menopause in between. I am forty pounds lighter than I was at 18 yo. The numbers of over 200 pounders that relapse and regain are staggering. For today, I don't have to do that. Great freedom.
And to add icing onto the cake, I am going to watch my 80 yo mother get her 1 year sobriety chip. It is a miracle. For years my mother has been behind a veil to me, an imposter lurking. I have her back and there are no words to describe my gratitude. Everyday matters and the past is the past.
These are great events and I will celebrate, not with food but continuing to commit to a disciplined food program. Food is logged. Walk is planned. I must be going to the gym regularly. The check in guy knows my name now.
BBE: If it rains near to harvest, the tomatoes develop a mold and the cannery will reject them. It was the final nail in the coffin of my BIL who ended up in bankruptcy.
SuzLen: I am grateful for the moments I have had with my family. DH and I both end up in tears watching our son as a baby. Amazing that no one else watching the same film will feel the poignancy. That is the classic blunder, right? Having other people watch your home movies. The most striking thing to watch is the relationship between DH and DS - so sure, so connected. DS as a baby bathes in the unshakeable knowledge that he is the center of his father's universe unconditionally.
