Month: June 2013

I attended the funeral of my friends husband on Thursday. I felt consumed by the tragedy of it all. Myself and four other friends were able to meet at the visitation and go in together on Wednesday evening. It felt good to be there for our friend. Then myself and one other friend were able to go to the funeral. A funeral is never easy, but an unexpected death, at a young age (he was 47), and a father of a 12 year old son, and a step father to my friends two older children, seem to be even more difficult to accept. My friend comes from a very large family, and it did feel good to see her surrounded by her parents and all of her siblings and extended family. All that I can do is pray for her and her family. It’s all so very hard to understand. […]

I received some really sad news yesterday morning. A friend of mine, that I have known since grade school, lost her husband this weekend. It was unexpected, and I haven’t been able to think of anything except for her and her children since I found out. Throughout the day, I forgot to take most of my photos, and I did not exercise. The visitation was last night, and the funeral is today. I assume my mind will be mostly on her and her family throughout the rest of the week and into the weekend. My blog will be short today, but I did seem to get the blogging kinks worked out! Breakfast Lunch Not Pictured Salad Snack Snacks, not pictured Dinner (same as yesterday) Refresh…I can eat 26 points a day.I can earn Activity Points by doing exercise, and eat them if I choose.I have an allowance of 49 points […]

I am again blogging from my PHONE!!! And I thought of a whole bunch of important things I wanted to blog about yesterday, but I cant even begin to explain what a pain in the butt this is. It will be easiest to write what I have to say, then put my pics in a different post, but I might try to post the pictures in this blog. I am learning this Iphone App as I go. I am hoping things are resolved by the end of the week! Blogging has become such a part of my day. I have learned so much about myself, my habits, my trigger foods, what moods trigger me to eat, and most of all, through blogging, I am learning how to deal with all of it and growing. (But actually getting a little smaller.) 🙂 Yesterday was a great and busy day with lawn […]

I will try to post pictures of yesterdays food, but if you see none, you’ll know it didn’t work, and I am lost without my blog. If it did work, I’ll be happy, but still lost on how to get help!!! AHHHHHHH!!! Breakfast Lunch and… I never could get satisfied and was having some strange cravings!! Dinner Miles Walked!! Wish me luck today on finding a “Blogging Specialist”!!!!!

Something is wrong with my blogging app on my Ipad, and it doesn’t seem to be working properly on my phone either. I am actually doing today’s blog on my phone with my wireless keyboard! I have a lot to blog about, but after spending a majority of yesterday trying to figure out this problem, then trying to figure out what I could and could NOT do on my phone, I found myself extremely frustrated. So I will just sum this up with, yesterday was a successful day in food and excercise. I met with my Bootcamp owner and we have agreed to personal training sessions for a couple of months and see if we can’t get my shoulder ready for Bootcamp classes. Yesterdays Eats… Breakfast Oatmeal Pancake, Coffee with Milk (7) Lunch veggies, Hummus, Pretels, Apple Cinnamon Sticks and a bowl of Rice Krispies…..Weird, I know. (11) Dinner Turkey […]
