Darlings! How the heck is everyone?? Missed being able to post but it was just one of THOSE weeks.
Maybe not posting here is some sort of larger avoidance behaviour. Dunno. I do know that if I don't do something and get to see that darn number of the scale change soon I am going to have to steal a car and go on a long road trip in the desert with a woman name Thelma…
On the other hand, I'm obviously not watching what I eat. I am exercising… finished day 4 yesterday… day five will be tomorrow morning. I have shifted the schedule around a bit so I'm now going to the Tuesday through Friday mornings. I'm body tired by Friday, but it seems to be easier than breaking up my routine in the middle of the week. I'm going to take Saturdays and Mondays off.
I really like the idea of following the diabetics diet. Maybe I'll have to take a look. I pay for an ediets membership – I should either use it or lose it.
Linus ~ thanks for the suggestion about the wedding. I hadn't even thought about those details. I'll have to ask someone to be sure that is all done, if I'm being spastic myself. Luckily we aren't flying out until the next night, so at least we will have the Saturday for running around, returning DB's tux, recovering, etc. Your keyboard can wake the wee man? Wow, that is impressive hearing. I'm with you, yes, trees are nice, but only if you want a garden full of hostas, impatiens and ferns.
Shad ~ Working through on the last workout of the week when you are body bone tired by Friday is really hard. I think the important thing is that you still do it. What about switching up one of the days with something more relaxing like Yoga or a Pilates class just for some variety? Do you think that might help? HUG I know exactly how you feel about the lack of progress. I'm not sure fasting is the answer since everything I read talks about the adverse effect it can have on metabolism. Heck, there must be something though, right? Here's a challenge… maybe we both need to find one of those 3 weeks to a better body healthy eating and exercise routines and see if we can jumpstart something. What do you think? Screw the set point…I refuse to believe in it. So there!
Meadow ~ Should we be making a film starring Jodie Foster of your week and call it The Silence of the Chocolate? Hope the 'puter guys finish soon.
Happy ~ What re you thinking would make you, well, happy? A new hobby? A change of scenery? Involvement in a new group or activity? What are you thinking? Change can be good.
CeeJay ~ I have to admit to being a lazy investor and sticking mostly to diversified mutual funds. Of course, I'll probably be working until I'm 70 at this rate. You have to ultimately do what you feel most comfortable with. And WAY TO GO on your ediet success.
That's what we like to see.
Holly ~ sorry conflict is swirling around you like bees. So exhausting. Hang in there. Happy birthday to your beloved Grandma!
Hope she has a wonderful day.
Mel ~ Are you on some sort of person 12 step program "God grant me the serenity etc…"??
You are doing so great in the face of not so great circumstances. I feel as if I walked into a musical for a moment… and everyone burst into song!!!
Tig ~ I have the sudden urge to quote TS Eliot: "Between the idea/ And the reality/ Between the motion / And the act/ Falls the Shadow "
Don’t let the shadow get you!. SME doesn't seem to be a universal term. The last bank contract I had was working on a project in the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) area. I was confused the whole time. I ended up talking to a lot of SME SMEs. The Peter Pan comment made me laugh. I had totally forgotten Mr. Smee. Enjoy your run and your ride today.
Well I better get on with my day. Bills to pay, water to drink, rethinking to do. W have a combo Rabbie Burns/ Chinese New Year party to go to tonight (Och Aye Fat Choy). Gawd, you have to love being Canadian sometimes.
And I
will practise moderation (if it kills me).
