Had a major clear out at the weekend, we've been eating gluten free since Tuesday and I've had bottomless hunger since Wed :lol: I don't know how to stop it - I've been eating plenty and drinking lots! I'm feeling a lot better already because we've been eating proper food again, more veggies and no soda. I'm less exhausted, but still have a long way to go.

A sense of humor is always good :D I am sorry about the bottomless hunger though, Coop! but very good on sticking to the plan! :carrot: I can imagine you must be feeling healthier, or at least virtuous! :D

ThinkAgain, very very introspective thoughts!

HI to Lisa, JesikaBeth, Kathleen ( who I think is in Ireland now? :kissluck: ) EasySpirit!

I am now down to 151.2 and we have a new digital scale so I know the tenths also :devil: and FOUR people commented in the same week "have you been losing weight?" :carrot: though I still hate my big fat upper arms.

We've still had tons of rain and it has interfered with my motorcycle riding :tantrum: and I have to source another car :rolleyes: because my Impala won't pass inspection due to rust...my god these New England winters and the salt on the roads just kill cars..but the Imp lasted me a good 2 years for a minimum investment. Good thing there are usually a bunch of cars on Craigslist to check out.

Still loving my summer job, I am trying very hard to not let some things bother me, because ultimately they don't affect me and I just need to focus on my own personal bubble of loving my summer job :cool: Does this mean I am growing up :rofl: Today I made Raspberry Almond crumb bars for the lunch dessert, 80 portions of Cinnamon Chocolate Pound Cake with a chocolate sauce for dinner dessert, and 3 different kinds of scones for tomorrow's breakfast offering.

I give credit to my husband for buckling down and keeping it serious about eating right/better/less, he is fastidious about taking his meds on time, testing his pinprick blood for sugar , and taking blood pressure readings multi-daily. He is losing pounds too.

much love to everyone!

Holly - I'm so glad people are noticing your weight loss! I hope it continue :) and it's great your hubby is taking his diabetes so seriously. I hope you get some dry weather soon so you can get your bike out!

Kathleen - have a fantastic time in Ireland! I've never managed to make it over, but know it's a really beautiful place, and has really friendly people :) enjoy!

Would you believe I actually gained weight last week? It doesn't seem fair. We cut all the extra cr@p out our diet. I didn't eat any cakes (and there were cakes in the office 6 days in a row!), we didn't have any meals out, and I had only 1 bottle of soda. *Grumbles* At the very least, it should have been a maintain :rolleyes:

I'll try getting back to the gym next week, maybe that will help me shift a few!

Oh! so unfair :tantrum: to gain weight during that week! I am sure it is due to the change of your diet even though it is a change for the better. Oh the temptation of cakes in the office daily! good for you for resisting!! Hang strong!

Thank you for the good weather wishes, it worked, because the next four days are supposed to be sunny and dry! :cool:

Very busy at work, and I have such a nice supply of fresh mint and flowers that I bring in, part of loving my summer job.

HI to everyone else!

I'm here, just not much to say.

Hopefully, things here will get better next month.

Lisa, so sorry that this was not a good month for you :hug:

I had today off, and that was great. got my hair done, did laundry, and did alot of repotting/transplanting of flowers.

Hello to everyone else!
