I have been here 45 days and today I hit my first goal....10 pounds lost! Twenty pounds to go and when I get there, I will see if I can do 10 more. I am committed....I am strong...I am changing my life.

  • Good Afternoon! Sara, I have been down a hole too. But I have to keep pulling myself out. Glad you have as well! I under some stress. My immune system is obviously down ...I broke out in a rash under my chin and developed a wart on my hand! I haven't had a wart since I was a kid! And it's hurting the back of my hand. So I…

  • Good Evening/Almost Morning! Lana, thanks! I have some serious thinking about what I am going to do. And I am sorry you have been having some rough days. My eating has been a bit off the rails, too. I did get one good piece of news today... I got a renters tax rebate check in the mail. I sure can use the money. It's going…

  • Howdy all! Lana, hot dogs always taste better at the ballpark. They were yummy....thanks! Had a rough couple days. The funeral. My ex drove the 2 of us up....and hour and a half. We were late and everything was over when we got there. Then another hour and a half back. I didn't drive and I was still tired. And trying to be…

  • Good Morning! Going to a ball game tonight....its buy one, get one free hot dog night so I will go that route. Maybe some fries, too. I had an Atkins shake for breakfast and that's all I will have till I get to the game. After I get showered, I have to try on a few dresses to see what fits. I still have dresses with the…

  • Good Morning! @dawnbgethealthy , the body tends to want to hold onto weight. Hang in there....it will let go of it eventually. 🙂 Day 64—04/08— 171.6 - This weather is eating into my walking efforts. Probably be another week before the temps finally go back up and the rain goes with it. I know we need the rain, though. Day…

  • Good Sunday or Palm Sunday, whichever you prefer :) Missy, it's good your husky boy can avoid surgery. Hope he is moving around better soon! My son's MIL passed yesterday afternoon. Waiting to hear about arrangements. Funerals give me panic attacks (like a lot of other things) but I will get through it. I have been to more…

  • Good Afternoon to All! @Lynn__W , thanks! And I know about tossing stuff. I did the same with a half bag of chocolate chips. That doesn't mean I have given up chocolate….I just can't have it right there so I grab some when it's convenient. Day 64—04/08— 171.6 - This weather is eating into my walking efforts. Probably be…

  • Guten Morgan! Lana, oh yeah! Ricotta....yum! Safe travels! Food will be the same today except last night I had a package of Reese's cups....haven't had them in years! But they are smaller and much more manageable calorie and carbwise, so I could fit it in. It's tough facing these rainy, cloudy days that seem endless. I…

  • Good Morning and Happy Passover! @dawnbgethealthy , nice loss! It happens....your body was ready to let go a bit. @bteri107 , remember, weight fluctuations are normal. Our bodies have to adjust to the change. I went up 2 pounds then went down 2 pounds in 2 days. Its frustrating, but normal. 🙂 Day 64—04/08— 171.6 - This…

  • Good Late Morning! Thanks, Lana! I am looking forward to hitting the 160's again....its been awhile. Sara, thanks! And yeah...the test is important, although I don't envy you. I did Cologuard the last time because of my panic attacks...I just couldn't face the other. Silly, but that's me. At least my Dr. was understanding…

  • Good Morning! Hey....hope you are all doing ok. ❤️ Finally got my CGM's yesterday so now I know what my blood sugar is, although I have gotten pretty good at estimating at how much insulin I need for each meal. I also started leaving some of my "gifts" around. Whether or not I will know if they were found is anyone's guess…

  • Good Morning! 🎼🎶 The sun is shining, c'mon get happy...🎶 I have some errands to run after lunch so I will get some steps in. Might get a salad out as a treat on the way home. My son called me yesterday...his mother-in-law is dying. That was a shock. Seems her kidneys are shutting down and there is nothing they can do for…

  • Good Day, All! Lana, I have an online blog (anonymous) where I keep my life experiences.....including panic attacks. I have been doing this for nearly 30 years, since my divorce …hard to believe. It's not a daily thing....maybe once a month. It's interesting though....rereading my earliest entries shows how I am not the…

  • Good Afternoon, Gang! Yucky weather again. But it's ok...the ballgame is on and then I have dinner to make....garlic shrimp with pasta....one of my favorites. Then I will do some crocheting and watch PBS tonight. Errands to do tomorrow. Sometimes when I have panic attacks, I get a rash....which I did this time. Good thing…

  • Good Almost Afternoon! @bteri107 , thank you! It seems to have passed for now. Every few weeks it comes. You know....its scary and you can't stop it. And I love community theater! I have been to a couple productions, most recently "Company". @dawnbgethealthy , thank you, as well. It's tough because you never know when they…

  • Howdy, All! The night before last and yesterday was tough....had multiple panic attacks. Its SO strange....I never know what will trigger them...something totally innocuous, usually. I was brushing my teeth last night and had one....SHEESH! So I took a Melatonin before I went to sleep and that got me through. No attacks so…

  • Good Evening! The baseball game last night was great! Phillies won, but it rained a little and my brother was shivering so we left after the 8th inning. We're able to beat the traffic that way, too. I didn't buy any food at the park...bought a really good chicken sandwich at the convenience store and took it with me. My ex…

  • Good Almost Afternoon! Lana, yes, things WERE easier. But I am glad I have mostly been able to move with the times, one of the few things I can thank my ex for...we had computers before a lot of other people had them. Unlike some seniors, I am very computer literate and have no problem getting things done on my laptop…

  • Good Afternoon! The challenge for this week ended and I was a half pound short. But that's ok...I feel thinner and I am still moving in the right direction. It's in the 70's today but rain is expected. This is the time of year where I don't need the heat or the a/c...saves me money. I got a very heavy package yesterday and…
