Hope everyone has a safe holiday. I will be laboring by mowing a couple of yards, ours and an elderly ladies. This could be the last one of the year. Our nights are just below freezing [lowest has been 27 degrees] and the grass is starting to take on a yellow tint. It's growing season is just about gone and the aspen leaves are starting to turn.
I need to get the old body moving more. I am struggling with my weight and the eating is out of control. I know it shouldn't be an excuse, but the over powering urge to eat when I am stressed is stronger than my will power to 'control' myself. Just about a constant struggle with me. I am out of leeway again and I DO NOT want to lose my KOPS status...Have worked too hard for this...and obviously the work will never end....will always have to be alert.
Christie, I feel your pain with being out of leeway. You...and I can do this and reel it back in before we get dragged out to sea. Journaling sure does open our eyes as to where we stray. By the way, How is your daughter doing?
Jinky, CONGRATULATIONS on your obtaining your KOPS status. It does feel good, doesn't it? Now don't play around like Christie and I are doing. It is very dangerous to be at the top of your leeway. It's like playing with fire...and you can see how we are having difficulty right now.
Eleni, before I forget...again....I love the adorable attachments that you put on. I wish I knew how to do things like that.
I am so happy that you found that charm. I know how much it means to you...and Sherri will be thrilled. I'm not the best typer in the world, but I am thankful for that 6th grade typing class that I had to take...and that was when electric typewriters first came out.
Glad you keep getting that exercise in...you're ahead of me there, but I can relate to the eating thing.
Cbabe, boy, Chinese food....YUM!!!!!! I can't blame you for enjoying yourself......
Angie, Yes, it does seem like we are off the wagon more than on it. I guess that is why this is such a tough journey for most of us.....but as long as we keep trying, we WILL find that 'goal rush' one day.....
Sherri, WE MISS YOU!!!! Hope your vacation went well and your computer gets up and going soon. You have such wisdom and wonderful words to share with all. Take care, my dear, and hope you come back to us soon......
To everyone else, hope life slows down enough for us to be able to post more. I know I haven't been around much and it has had an effect on my eating. I'm more careless....and I need to be more accountable to ME!!!! Take care and you all are wished healthier lives.......
TOPS Hugs,
Summer
