Good luck with the walk

I lost this week, and am now no longer in the morbidly obese category, I am now classed as seriously obese. I long for the day I drop that obese word! But anyway it is a victory I am very happy with. I just need to make sure I celebrate today with activity not food. Hope everyone else is having a good morning.

Woohoo, Tishtash! Well done!

What a great day! Congrats. I am looking forward to that day myself. I'm sure you feel wonderful.

You are right I should mark this with something. Hmm maybe a bracelet that is there all the time to remind me. That way if I reach for something I might not have planned for I am likely to see the bracelet and at least have a second thought about whether it can fit into my day or not. I will have a think anyway. I meant to get something little at 50lbs to mark that achievement and never did, money is always something we have to watch so I do not often treat myself. This time I am darn it!

Try etsy.com for a reasonable piece of jewelry. I like the vintage rhinestone stuff--you can pick up a beautiful bracelet for under $10.

Off to the farmers market to pick up some fresh fruit and then to the running store to put down some serious money on walking shoes.

It's Saturday......

we had an awesome shrimp and fish supper last evening and I still kept my calories for the entire day to less than 1500 (just barely)

I should be doing house work......but Im sitting at my desk in my jammies, wrapped in a mink blanket thinking Im surely going to freeze to death. It's 54 outside and about 35 below in here LOLOL

<y job whooped my *kitten* this week. Ive 7 big cases on my desk under review that total over 2 million and I feel like all Ive done is read medical records. It might sound fun (it kinda is) but it's exhausting....making notes everywhere and remembering where you read whatever and need to remember et al. One of the best things is I get to "look outside the box"....and always gotta remember that nothing is what it seems. UGH...enough about work...sorry

Tomorrow we're going out to a late lunch with my big sister and her hub. At a local fave of mine...a big truck stop. Im a little worried about the meal. Not that I'll eat too much but that I'll eat the wrong things. UGH. I refuse to obsess, it'll all work out.

Have a supper duper weekend People...be kind to yourselves. Eat good, move a lot, forgive easily, dance like no one is watching and love hard

Got back from the farmers market and ended up buying a lot more then i planed on. It could have been worse but their is just so much awesome produce and fruit to buy. Got a verity of fresh fruit and some salad greens, picked up a muffin for breakfast wich I ate with a peach and some sunflowers for my mother. Went to the running store and they helped custom fit some walking shoes, my feet felt so good. A little more expensive then I had planed $170 for the shoes and the orthotics, but the arch support is wonderful and the shoes fit wonderfully so worth the price and time. had a leftover sausage for lunch along with a salad made from the greens and asian pear I bought at the market.

Figured I might as well vent too... not only was I in a flare today all day, but my neighbors' little boy was in the yard for a minute. Tomorrow is his birthday, and normally we would celebrate with him (we're like second parents to him), but his dad is an alcoholic who has been drinking more and more, refusing to get treatment, behaving more and more erratically, to the point where he is no longer welcome in our home unless he gets help. So of course, the boy is now his pawn and we don't get to see him, which means he has lost his safe haven over here. I'm so angry with both his dad and his mother! If I were her, I would have given him an ultimatum long ago--get help or get out. Its such a sad, sad, situation! Breaks my heart.
