Optimism - Needed

Today I had my first significant weight gain since April 20.  I gained 1.8 pounds.  The only other weight gain I have had in that time was .6 pound - and that really had to do with water retention.

So - I'm trying to keep my head up.  I'm trying to keep my focus.  I don't want to become apathetic and decide it doesn't matter.  Because it does!!  I want to become healthy.  And to become healthy, I need to lose weight.  It goes hand in hand.
Nothing like a graphic to show you that you need
to get your focus back.  Yeah - that's my weight loss
graph.

Where did I go wrong last week?  Well, I ate stuff that I shouldn't have.  And I ate too much stuff.  I really wasn't too active either.  Other than some time at a park with the two grandbeebees and a shopping spree with the two grandkiddos, no real exercise.  I need to become more active and I haven't done a great job of it.  Once I get to the work out part - and I actually do it - I'm really glad I did. But, it's just getting to that point.  UGH!!

So - it's time to get off my butt.  It's time to not eat the stuff I shouldn't.  It's time to make me matter.  Better planning.  And more movement.

Starting now!!  Here we go!!!

Happy Birthday Me!!

I turned 49 a year ago tomorrow.  I was all right with that.  I didn't really care.  But, about a couple of months after that, I realized that in less than a year I would be 50.  When my daughter turned 30, it really was a horrible feeling.  How could I have a 30-year-old daughter??  I am not old enough to have a 30-year-old daughter.  I also had to deal with my baby boy getting married last year - which made me feel like I really was getting older. I think it was after Crystal's birthday that I devised a plan.  I was going to take a couple of days off, I was going to get a hotel room - a hotel with a pool - and I was just going to hide out and ride it out.  I had it all figured out. Well, I decided that my kids might be a bit upset with me that I did this.  So, I went back to Plan B - I would do my usual and plan a "kids" birthday for me so that the entire family, including Zach and Chelsea, could have a good time.  I thought of going to Planet Play and setti

The Haunting

It's been a weird few days. I don't know what set me off. But, I've been thinking about Ted a lot. Mostly, I've been thinking about the night he died. And everything that happened that night. One of the girls I worked with lost her husband suddenly a couple of days ago. I'm not sure if that's what set me off - no, I'm pretty sure it is. So I've been going through old blog posts about our trips together. Looking at memories of our times together. We just had fun together and we just loved each other. Anyway, I've been reliving the night he died. Thinking about it pretty consistently. And the things that happened are truly haunting me. Like, how did he get where he was?? He and I had been sitting together and had literally just had an interaction. The interaction was, please sit back, you're blocking my view of the movie. And it was all done in hand gestures. But it was just so Ted. Completely and totally so Ted. Not even a few

365 Days - The Story of a Year

This last year has been the hardest one of my life. And I've had a lot of hard years in my lifetime. But this year involved the health of me and I'm being a little selfish about thinking about just me. But it was hard. But, I survived it. And now I'm learning to THRIVE. A little history. For the last four years, I have been dealing with knee pain. Most of it was in my right knee. For the first couple of years, I would get a cortisone shot and I was good. Usually last for at least a year. Then the cortisone wasn't working anymore. I had the rooster comb injections. They didn't work. So, after that, my doctor told me that I was bone on bone and needed a knee replacement. But for that four years, she kept saying - you're too fat, no surgeon will touch you at your weight. You have got to lose weight. That is always easier said than done. She always made me feel like I was failing at taking care of myself. For the last two years, I have been worki
