I was sorry to read that your sister is still in the hospital. No wonder you are still struggling to regain some self control and eat what you should. I think many of us go through similar battles .....seems to depend what's going on in our lives and then it must be the anxiety or stress coming through that the "kinda of mindless" eating and poor choices begin. I think a light has finally gone off that no matter what goes on in our lives....it's best to continue to include "us" in as a priority.  Working on eating properly and getting the IE in is sure to help us get through whatever comes our way and heck we might even lose a little weight along the way. 

Sending you a big hug and a pat on the back for posting even during this difficult time you are going through. Hang in there missy. My prayers go out for your sister and may she return home soon.

Thanks for your encouragement CHILI & TERESA. 

I went from a size 22 to an 18. Size 18 that magical # because you can find clothes easily. 

Guess, I let my guard down with every intentions of pulling it all together tomorrow, but tomorrow is just not happening. 

If I keep on going the way I am, I won't have one thing to wear because I got rid of all of my other clothes. 

I'm just ranting here, in hopes of what I am saying; helps me to come to my senses. 

Thanks for listening.

Should of read CHILLY. 

Another day,   I  woke up late,  lay there  just  mellowing out.   Kinda  rolled out of bed and had to wake up the house straight away  (already missing that extra  SELF time).   Then those thoughts flooded into my mind....................wahoooooooooo........I was aware of them.    "Don't go for a walk"   "you are too late and too tired"   "You have done so well - take a rest today"    "One  day 'off' will not hurt".   WOW  Do  you recognize any of these subtle  sabotaging thoughts ladies?????  

I shook my head (ouch).   Got  dressed in old clothes.    Dug around and unearthed the dog lead (DH had forgot to put it back into the normal place)......grrr.     Stopped the golden girl prancing long enough to put the lead on her.  Then  grabbed an apple and out the door.   Whew  - with each step I felt  better.   The cow had given up on me and was away  across the paddock.  She came racing for her apple.   The view  seemed different for the sun was up higher and gave different perspective.  This made me  think of how often it is our  perspective of things that matters.   As  Dr Phil says so often  we can change our perspective.   Sooooooooooooooooooooo  walk done and here I am energized a little more.    Now to  post some of today's pics.   LOL>   

   Wow look at you. You are doing it and I am just so proud of you! 

   Your post read like an exciting noval, what a joy! 

   I did my walk today but had plans of emptying out the bedrooms down stairs (no power down there and the dry wall isn't mudded yet, that is the perpose to get this work done) Well after lugging 2 queen size mattresses and box springs I gave up. Heck this is a job for 2 people. I know I will go back down after my coffee and get back at it. Ha Ha the heavy stuff is done now so I can't give up right? Now hubby knew this was my plan for this weekend but he had to work and didn't get home. Hmmm maybe he is smarter than I give him credit for. 

   At any rate I best get back at it, Just had to say how great it is to see you walking the walk and back on the board again. You just have no idea of how much you were missed.

Hello there Missy..............just seems better for me since I seem to have an over active bladder from time to time...and some of my teeth are sensitive to cold also. Seems like I'm always cold around the house anyway.   I keep my house temp around 77 degrees too. Plenty of drafts with family and dog going in and out of the house. 

Just checking in and out again..........I must say Esmay that's certainly how I felt today didn't feel like doing IE............however, I didn't get any in yesterday so I considered that as my day off. I'm real glad that I popped off of here and did the 1 mile LS and thought heck everyones still sleeping let me put that other tape in too..............felt great now I've got the IE in for the day. 

I'll tell you what a perk on your walk to go feed that cow and apple. I know he/she was sure happy to see you and that apple.....................Goldie had to be prancing a bit too. Pat on the back for taking that walk today. Good job. 

Bev...................oh my hauling those mattress around please be careful........I did manage to get some of my xmas decorations boxes up and put away. Will work on the rest another day this coming week.  Who likes to go down in the basement not me girlfriends. 

Jazz........well you are going to be working your way down to the smaller sizes anyway missy........so don't plan on staying at size 18 ((((((((winking))))))))))))  remember you are worth the effort and continue to post and get your momentum back to watch the food choices and get some IE in when you can........................see you back at the pass. 

Have a good day all.

Out of our  front gate and around the corner.  The sun was up higher and there was our fushia bush.  Ah  so beautiful.  Then down the incline, past the mail boxes - I was beginning to wake up now.  Up to the cow paddock.   Down through the gate.    Then we walked along the cliff and home.
