just updating
sorry for not having posted very much - since mom's passing, i've been sick a lot, and have lost my home internet connection [my computer has been hacked and i don't dare hook it up!]
but i wanted to tell you some VERY valuable lessons that i've learned recently. first of all, now that mom's gone, so is my stress eating! i NEVER IN MY LIFE believed that it would be possible to get past this. it's such a relief second - exercise needs to happen, and it is, but much more slowly than i'd like. on the other hand, i realized - suddenly - that walking the dog 20 minutes in the AM and then 20 minutes in the PM ADDS UP!!!!!! even if i gain - and trust me, i have - about 20 pounds - IT IS POSSIBLE TO GO BACK TO BASICS and lose it again. yes, it takes time. yes, it takes some attention, BUT IT WORKS!!! and that, i think, is the biggest gift. sooo, tomorrow, i'm off to get more of my protein supplement, because i've realized that a 20-gram protein shake in the AM is the best path to success for ME, even this far out. and lots of liquids. and hugs to you all. |
And hugs to you too, Dear Friend. Nice to "see" you back.
The wicker awaits! |

My Love and Prayers are with you! Love, Kier |
We missed you!
I'm glad you are back with us and we certainly do miss you! I'm sorry that you have been sick. I'm glad about the stress-eating thing for you. And exercise....<sigh> I'm not a marathoner and never will be but what you said about 20 minutes here and 20 minutes there is a good thing and something that I have to live with right now. I stop doing the protein thingy in the morning because I thought that I would be alright without it but since my TP came in under 6 I'm back at that also. Keep leading my example JP, I certainly need that!

jiffy, i love to hear from you, you make me want to be stronger. love ya

oh thank you ladies! you're the best - and i realized that i'd forgotten a couple of things - like it's now PLEASANT to make myself some decent food.
it's WONDERFUL to not have to wait until 10 pm to eat - because i couldn't choke food down while mom was awake. and BEST OF ALL!!!!! i actually filled the tires on my bike, and rode it for miles on saturday! YAY!!!!!!!! |
Hi Jiff! It's great to touch base with you again... I'm so impressed that you've made it all the way down to 225, nicely done!!!

Jiff, I moved, have 3 more grandkids... am going for a partial knee replacement next month, my eldest son and his family are moving in tomorrow for a few months while their new house is being built... I'm still working and still having the time of my life. Does that sum up the last 5 or 6 years nicely or what? LOL!!!
