hi everyone
Diana, again I want to say I am sending prayer and healing for your DH and for yourself as well. Hopefully some calming help for you.
I know you worry about him. A lot.
Sotypical, how fortunate you are to live in BC. Glad baby and you got a lot of walking in. How old is the baby? Sounds like you are getting in some great exercise.
Kelijpa re the pesky scale, I know you will see a loss. But I do understand how that number on the scale, as you say "can effect your zen". I hope tomorrow's news is better. I forgot to get the yogurt today. I do so want to try mixing it with grated cucumber (and onion powder) (and on non diet days blue cheese).
CoolMom your knees dont hurt. that's great news. I am happy for you. And also quite impressed with the amount of miles you are doing on the bike. How long is the tour? I know you said. But I do not remember. Sounds like your son is gifted at the guitar. And is motivated to work at it. ( or play at it). perfect combo for success. Good reason for you to be a proud mom.
Magistra Glad to read that you had a good day. Got together with friends in the evening. Re: that white angora dress, I think it especially is difficult when a father shames his daughter like that. Because girls' relationship with their dad forms how they feel about themselves as a girl. And then it becomes imcumbent upon me, you and so many others to heal that for ourselves. Becoming stronger for it. Ahhh the opportunities we so wisely choose in life.
Novangel as someone who no longer works I totally understand those food cravings when you are not working. Glad you were able to get in some good running. Sorry you had a dad who was not accepting of your weight. For me those folks are my teachers and motivators. They are the opportunity to deal with the thought patterns I took on from them. But it remains a challenge, even at my age.
Nicholsfamily I am so impressed that with your schedule you managed to get in 3 workouts. What a motivated woman you are. As for the scale not moving.... it will. Some people lose that way. One morning you will see the loss show up on your scale, like a surprise package.
Ian, good to see you !!
This morning I woke up and the scale did not have the best news. I was surprised. I expected it would not be that high. Perhaps its because Trader Joe's has a new product. Wild king salmon jerky. It used to taste awful. They revised the product. Now it is higher levels of divine
Its only 240 calories. So I do not know why that would have caused the scale to be so rude. It would be too bad if it is the culprit. Because its great brain food that tastes like a choir of angels is serenading me as I eat.
I went to the doctor. And that went fine. She did an osteopathic treatment on me even though she officially is a MD. Then I went to Costco. Did the whole cocktail party thing ( without the mingling). I resisted buying anything high calorie at the Co-op. Although I did get peaches. I feel like I am losing my edge with dieting. But I did get rid of the homemade vegan nutella. I dropped it off for my friend who does tea leaf readings at a shop on Saturdays. I dropped it off at the shop for her. They will keep it in the refrigerator.
Tomorrow I am planning to have a 1200 day. And yes that does include wild Alaskan salmon jerky.
I hope you all have a great Saturday.
Diana, I am thinking of you and DH. Antibiotics are great. And he did get DX and treatment before it progressed too far.
TGIF! 
It feels like I have worked so hard to keep my focus and not get derailed just from the frustration of it all. So, 168 literally feels like a "new decade" over 169. I know it isn't but it is just so huge for me. 
Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in quickly and clear all that mess up for DH. He's a pretty bad diabetic so I worry constantly about him. 
Zen on, baby!
