Fiona - That sounds like a pretty big project! I would need a break, too. Honestly, I'm not sure I could deal with doing all of that, but the new family members sound very worth it.
Ubee - Thank you for the welcome
Congratulations on the loss - must feel great to know you can stay on track on your own
I understand needing a break from the internet.
I'm having a difficult time getting the exercise in. I think the problem is all the excuses I find myself coming up with. Family trip to the mall tomorrow, so at least I will be getting more exercise than my body is used to these days. Looking foward to the walking around, but hoping the place isn't packed since we're going as soon as the mall opens. Going to work on an exercise schedule tomorrow.
I did have some small victories today. I said no to several things - Dunkin Donuts, McDonalds, Burger King, high calorie Speedway (gas station store) drinks, soda, leftover french fries, and chips offered with my lunch. Felt like I was saying "no thank you" all day. For the first time in my life, not a single person made me feel guilty for saying no. Usually, my family will continue to offer and try to talk me into it until I give in. It was nice to be able to say no to each offer only once.
I think I may look around for a scale tomorrow that can actually weigh me.
