Good morning all, It is my day to sleep later and guess what. I got up at 5 as I was tired of tossing and turning. Bill got up at 5:30. One of those nights where we both tossed and turned and could not sleep.Oh well. This way I can get a few things done before I go to TOPS workshop.
I seem to be doing better.The higher dose of thyroid mecicine probably is helping. But I am eating less. I think the motivation / direct suggestion tapes that I made myself seem to be helping a lot. I have one for the truck and one for work. I am thinking about making one to play when I am in the house. The truck one is mainly for starting the day and work one is for at work. I may make one that deals with being in the house or being off work.. Altho the hypnotism did not help as much as I thought it would I still believe in the power of suggestion. So if I have tapes to play that remind me of my goal and what I need to do to reach it.It can only help.
I was able to swim laps twice now so the pool should be a regular thing now. I don't think it helped any to lose weight but any activity has to be good for me.
I am trying to focus on eatting 3 meals a day,eating snacks only if really hungry,eating slower,stopping when full.Not eating late at night.Etc Etc You know the drill. We all know what we need to do. I am just trying to stay more focused so I can do the things that will help me to lose.
I will help you know how the workshop goes today.
Have a great day

sounds like most of us are doing very well.
Bev-i know how you feel on the sinus thing. Mine keeps coming and going too, and the weather doesn't help any, but i won't complain about that. I was however hoping to do some outside walking today, but rain.
Eleni- you installation of officers does sound great. Our club is basic, no awards banquet, no installation dinner. I also think we apt to the idea of waiting on an open house till the new year. Your tapes sound neat. Your voice, your wording? Not someone else telling ya how to do it, is that right. Sounds interesting. Not sure if I would know what to say. But a very good idea. I'm glad that medicine is working, and you are doing well this month. How's that new computer?
Nancy-wow. you go girl. I'm very proud of you and you should feel awesome. YOu can do it.
christie- I'm happy for you. I think like you, best title there is.
Marie-it is good to have you back. Hang in there, all of this isn't easy, but persaverance wins in the end.
Beth-hope you have a good weekend at you folk's house.
Sherry-how is it going?
summer- i like your little icon. How is family doing? How is the knee going. Is the bike riding going well?
Anyone else i've might of miss if you are having problems, hang in there, if you are doing great, keep it up one day at a time. Try not to set yourself up for failures. Try and think ahead, and remember you can do it.
As for me, I'm off to the inlaws today, it was going to be dinner, but now it's lunch. I'm in the process of making fat free cheese cake. I have to make 2 today. One for payment of bringing out a frig for us. SIL hubby's dad is giving us one free, and it's gotta be better than we have. I can't wait. they want a cheese cake, and since we are going over to il for lunch I thought I would take one for lunch.
We also have a birthday party tomorrow, i have to make chinese coleslaw for that party. However, i'm taking a salad for me I think.
Went to the circus on Thursday it was ok, tickets were cheap. It's been a very busy week for us. This weekend too. Not much more going on. Brandon had blood tested for the new medicine level, still on phenobarb, till this get regulated. Other than that, just a little busy.
later.
