Healing hugs (gentle ones) to you and son! Keep us posted when you have time. Tell him someone on the right coast is sending healing vibes and hoping he heals faster than the docs predict!!
Iwillbe Oh my heart goes out to you and your son. So glad he made it through the accident and will be in recovery. He is fortunate to have someone so loving to be there for him. My thoughts are with you both.
Ruth, Hoping your son is improving. Keeping him, and you and your DH as well, in my prayers.
Company has come and gone. I survived going out to lunch once and out to dinner twice, even drank wine, but managed to stay POP on my WW program and didn't use any extra points!
I'm really working on eating more slowly. I know if I take my time I'll fill up before the food is gone rather than scarfing my meal and looking for more.
Don’t put food in your mouth when you already have food in your mouth!
I had a good weekend.I actually got alot of accomplished yesterday after church. My house is clean and healthy food is bought. Im hoping to find some control this week and get my butt in gear.
I had one of those night that I wasnt able to fall asleep till around 2:30am and the alarm went off at 4:30. Im hoping an extra cup of coffee will get me moving and help me make it with the kids today.
Yesterday was a disaster. I think I'm starting to really get discouraged -- I try so, so hard to stay on plan, and then at the end of the week, I am exactly the weight I started at. I have an average of 1500-1600 calories a day, with one day a week inevitably higher, and burn an average of 300-400 calories a day in intentional exercise, and I have been the same weight for weeks and weeks. I'm guessing the fact that I have my weekly weigh-in on Friday prompts the overeating on Saturday...
I have 3 weeks left to fit my danged pants for this vacation, and I'm getting a little desperate. I'm going to try to be really draconian about sticking to 1500 cal/day and burning 500 cal/day, which is my goal. I just don't get how I can weigh this much, and be as active as I am, and still not be losing ANYTHING.
Pfui.
Here's hoping this week's a good one for all of us.
Ruth, all my love to you and your son. Please make sure you are taking care of yourself.
I'm otherwise behind on what's going on with everyone, but I *am* back.
I've gained a couple of pounds back, and I've been way off track. Time to get back on track. I can't explain why, really, except that I've been not feeling well and depressed too. I'm feeling somewhat better physically, but I realize that in order to really get back on track I have to tackle more than just what I eat. Clutter needs to go, and I need to spend time exercising every day as well as writing every day, among other things.
More tomorrow. I'm back. I'll be back every day.

angela- hugs!! I think a few of us have been in depression mode. I know I sure was! I decided the clutter in my house was making me depressed. I spent sunday cleaning after church. I felt in control yesterday.
I had a few curve balls thrown at me. My grandson(age 2) is in the hospital with breathing issues. I got my granddaughter for a few days. I enjoyed playing with her at the playground but realised Im out of shape. :ater this week I will be getting my 1 yr old grandson for a few days. I need energy and the only way to get it is to work for it! My goal was to be a healthy fun grammie for the grandkids and Im not there yet!
food was great yesterday and I plan to make it that way again today!!
ruth_ still praying for your son and you!! please take care of yourself and keep us posted on how he is doing. Hugs and love to you!!!
My thoughts are with you.
