Good morning all. Woke up at 5:30 this morning, so plenty of time to get things done before an early doctor's appointment.
Ubee Congratulations on being a grandma!!!!! Having the next generation with us is yet another thing I just love about this phase of life. Enjoy your little one and I love the thought about not wanting fat between you.
Fi Your BERP project sounds like it's getting to the dreading stage. I so totally understand as I really let my house and yard kind of slide after my sister passed. Now I'm having to spend way too much time just trying to get things back to an acceptable level. And things keep breaking -- nothing major just inconveniences but they add to the stress. Please be kind to yourself as much as you can be. I know you feel you're under a deadline with the kittens coming, but it sounds as though you've made so much progress already.
Terra Saw the storms go through your area on the weather report -- definitely not something to be out walking in. You must have needed the sleep and sometimes that's as helpful as getting in the exercise.
Sam As always, it's a joy reading your posts. Not only are you proof of the physical benefits of losing, but also the emotional ones. I need to keep that in mind!
Time4Me End of school year! My parents were teachers and the end of the school year was always bittersweet for them -- they loved having the year done, but knew there were kids that they would miss. Are you headed home for the summer?
Autumn-Owl I'm late in doing so, but welcome to the group.
It's been a challenging week food wise, and after reading Fi's post, it's beginning to dawn on me how much of my emotional support comes from ingesting carb laden foods. It seems like it's been months and months of doing nothing but working on the house and the yard. I feel as though I'm not doing anything fun any more, but I'm accepting that part of that is because just moving around is so hard and painful that I don't want to go places that require a lot of walking.......and most places require walking. So, while I need to finish getting things whipped into shape around here and get all of the maintenance projects done, I need to refocus on WHY I want to lose this weight.
Off to the doctor, then the gym, then yard work, and then down to Sears to buy my nephew a tool chest he wants for Father's Day/Birthday combined. Not a lot planned for the weekend, but it's supposed to be nice weather here, so hopefully I'll be able to make some real progress on the yard. Have a great one.
