Hello everyone. I've had a wretched 3 weeks but a glorious 3 weeks at the same time. My FIL finally died after lingering six and a half weeks and we're so tired travelling back and forth to the hospital and then all the business with the funeral and paperwork that follows. But the glorious part was that I'm finally a grandmother and we have a precious, darling little grandson. He's such a sweetie and I can hardly wait for them to come here at Easter so I can hold him again.
I got in no exercise and was eating everything in sight. The last week was the worst because there was so much food around with people dropping off cookies, cakes, pies, salads and even whole meals. Fortunately, most of the food was dropped off at my MIL's house but we were there for several meals. I'm not weighing until at least Saturday and may wait another week until I'm totally back in control and have lost some of this weight I'm sure I've put on. I don't think I can bear to see the weight on the scales go up. Right now I'm on an emotional roller coaster and just need to get back on track before I weigh in. DH lost 5 pounds and I'm sure I gained at least that much. Today I got on my bike for the first time in about 3 weeks and ate clean. I peddled for about 43 minutes and I'm hoping to finish up to an hour later on tonight. I just love eating. I haven't lost any taste for cakes and pies and lovely fried potatoes but I have to keep everything in check. I WILL NOT GET FAT AGAIN!!! I'm almost to a healthy weight range and I WILL DO THIS! I'm not shouting at you gals, just at myself.
Shannon, your wedding pictures look lovely. So glad everything went well and you had the perfect wedding. I'm back at making and planning for my DS's wedding in July.
Dgramie, hang in there girl. One day you'll get on the scales and there'll be a big drop.
Tomorrow is a new month and a new start. See you in April.
