Hey everyone
It has been another day OP. That loss yesterday really did get me refueled to finish out this second week. That tight, focused feeling is so incredible. I¡¦m glad it doesn¡¦t have to be maintained permanently, though. I am looking forward to next week and having my carb allowance doubled, won¡¦t even lie to you about that!
It is so amazing to find out how tightly I am tied to my carbs. I did an ultra low carb diet years ago and lost 60 lbs. in two months. Thing is, it was so stark and lacking in balanced nutrition that I became very ill and have been afraid to touch any form of low carb diet since. I¡¦m happy most plans now aren¡¦t so off the wall. The further I travel down this path, the more I realize it is all about finding balance in every aspect of my life.
I have a great idea for Lori. Instead of writing a book or a soap opera, I think she should get her own reality tv show going. The current saga is way more fun than anything else out there.
Homebound, what is TSH? I feel like I missed something there.
Joanne, you are the WOMAN!!! Way to meet a goal!
Connie, I understand crowded house syndrome. I have one of those big, super cool, totally love it, yoga balls, but it takes up so much space in my living room I don¡¦t keep it out as much as I should. And it isn¡¦t like you can deflate one of those and just reinflate every time you want to use it. Inflating is like two workouts all by itself!
Barb, glad you are feeling more yourself. I think spreading out your meals is the best way to go as well. That is pretty much what I¡¦m doing right now. Keeps the blood sugar levels normal, and that means the hungries don¡¦t attack so viciously.
Lucky, thank you!
Terri, the lake sounds like a blast! I haven¡¦t been to any of ours in ages. Just too busy, I guess? So glad you didn¡¦t lose all your stuff.
Mary, sounds like it is raining clear across the country. Hope the car repairs are just basic. You back on the wagon?
Natalie, strawberries + daquiris= no problem with that kind of math for me! 4 days of vacation sound heavenly. And yes, it does all feel worth it now.
Sandy, off to surf? Like as in surfboards or the Internet?
2cute, I don¡¦t know how you are keeping it all up. You are certainly made of tougher stuff than this chick. I want to see pictures of this house¡K or better yet, really do hold that spring fling and I¡¦ll find some way to get there!
Thin, thanks for starting the new thread. Definitely a good way to let us know you are there, even if you are too busy to post. ļ
OK, bedtime for this chicky. I passed around a bunch of resumes yesterday and there has been one really cool nibble. Please cross your fingers for me! I also have a job interview at one of the local credit unions at 10 a.m. The pay isn¡¦t all that, but the hours would work with what I already have. Plus, it would mean not having to drive the 45 some odd miles to St. George every day to work. I need to be closer to where the girls go to school.
Good night!

P.S. I typed this up in Word and did a copy/paste over to here. Guess it grabbed every contraction and made it look funky. I'd fix it tonight, but I'm too tired!
for you!!
), here is the lowdown on what happened 
with him and the horse he rode in on, put on my grotty old T shirt and shorts and went for a run.
I think that Brian has got it BAD. Hope he can find a job and a place to live. 
Just peeking in
Wishing you all the best for a happy ending to this crazy situation. 
TSH stands for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. I recently had a blood test that showed my TSH level was higher than normal and I am just trying to find out as much as I can about it. I have an appt. to see a specialist, but not until November. I hope the job interview goes well!
