Welcome to December.
Day 8
Weight 201.2 (down 1.2 lbs from yesterday, down .6 from my last weigh in here on fatsecret 12 days ago)
Nice. In fact, very nice. Not under 200 yet but on my way. Wish the chart's downward slope was a little steeper but I'm not going to complain!! .6 lbs in 12 days isn't a lot but it is progress.
I reached for a drink of water during the night and tweaked something in my back/neck. Ouch!!! Took some ibuprofen this morning ... hoping that helps. I don't really need a "hitch in my git-a-long."
I think my son and his girlfriend may have ended their relationship for which I am very grateful and delighted. She is much, much too young for him and a bag full of issues. She gave him an ultimatum to quit drinking or else. As far as I know my son doesn't have an alcohol problem. He called me yesterday at work to talk about it. Some day I hope he meets someone who isn't NUTS!!! LOL!!! Oh Anne, please don't let him know I talk about him here ... (she's a facebook friend of his).
Well my elliptical machine is calling my name!! I must get on with my morning ... working my way towards another weekend!!
Today I am grateful for ...
... that my son called to talk to me yesterday (even though then I worried about him the rest of the afternoon!!! LOL!!!)
... a budge in the scale ... YAY!!!
... laughter during staff meeting yesterday (one of my colleagues told me I "do crazy" well)
... taking a few days off, here and there during December, to spend a little more time with my hubby
... coming home everyday and seeing my mother's smiling face!!
So another day of me practicing kindness. Practice makes perfect, right?? LOL!!! I am happy about the numbers decline but have to chuckle at myself at the same time though because I quickly "dismiss" it as "not good enough" ... and of course then have to self correct ... reminding myself about being kind, being patient, so on and so forth!!! At least I catch myself at it now!! LOL!!! Two more days until my next Indulgence Day ... Saturday!!! So two more opportunities to see declines on the scale before I see the flucts up again. I'm sort of excited to see how this turns out. It will be interesting to see what patterns emerge ... after a few weeks of following this way of eating.
Has anyone heard from Isabel??? She hasn't been posting. I sent her a PM but no reply. I don't think I've seen her on FB either. I hope everything is okay. Please let me know if you have heard from her.
Have a wonderful day of being kind to yourself, embracing life fully, being mindful, and taking good care of yourself!!
You lost 0.6 lb (0.3 %) since you last weighed in on Saturday 19 Nov 11.
At that rate it will take you about 15 months to get to your goal weight. Have I mentioned I hate the weight calculator???!!! Only 15 months to lose 21 lbs. No problem!! LOL!!

NICE! A good chunk down in two days, and today is 1.2 lbs? That's not too shabby. You still have two more weigh-ins before next Indulgence Day (if you dare take it). Is it too early to say "I told you so"? :)
I hope things work out for your son. It's not easy being a parent and wanting the best for your kids when they choose otherwise, and I am glad on your behalf that things might change.
Of course, it's also hard on your son to meet the challenges of a parter who is "a challenge". I have myself been in a relationship like that, and it can really take a toll on you. I'm happy to say that I am past that, ended that relationship and now truly can say that I am married to my best friend, the love of my life, the most beautiful girl in the world and my soul mate all in one.

Carol don't worry I never mention anything about FS on FB, and that would be totally inapropriate to tell your son about what you say on here! I didn't know they had ended their relationship but suspected something was going on... See?? What did I tell you yesterday? A new low!! LOL I love being right! Hope your neck won't bother you today.

Cool Kingkeld!!! About the video that is. I'll look for it tomorrow!!! Yes, it is too early to say "I told you so" but I love hearing it!! Dare I take the Indulgence Day? Well, yes, kind sir ... I think I will!! Isn't that the point, zig zag the calories to keep ye olde body guessing??? LOL!!! As for my "boy" ... I love him so dearly ... just want him to have what you have, what I have ... a partner who is truly a partner ... someone who supports you, loves you (true love not just that romantic gooey stuff), a soul mate. He is a fine young man and truly the apple of my eye. Only 20 some odd pounds to go to get back to where I was a year or so ago ... I know I can do this!! Sure helps to have buddies along for the journey. Don't know what I'd do without them!!

YEAH!! I think you just had to make a stop at twenty-twelve for some kind of sign or something, heehe. I like that your son called you too, I see it often in my boss -her excitement. I hope mine will come to me too. Who is Isabel?

Hi Carol! Congrats on that loss and it is something. I would be so happy if I could lose anything but I guess I have to do something first. lol I can appreciate your feeling about your son and his girlfriend. I felt the same way when Christopher and Katrina broke up. That girl is engaged already. Thank God not to my son. lol I am really planning to be here more often. I miss you. People are coming to look at the house today. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I need some stability. lol
