Marion and Pooz, Happy BC day, and Shirley and the other canucks, happy holiday, don't know what you call it where you are, smiling...and to everyone else have a wonderful day as well....

I awoke at 5 am to start work at 8am..think I'm excited? ha ha ...or maybe a little nervous..lol...kinda feel like the new kid starting at a new school...oh to feel this young again...giggling..

All the support you all have given me, makes me feel much more confident this morning , thanks...smiling...I also am feeling very blessed...blessed that I am able to work, and to also get back on track and JUST DO IT!!! I feel re-motivated this morning...it's been a long dry spell for me...but I think it's over...Yipeeeeeee....

Sharon, congrats on becoming a nana again...how special that is....hope your dear g/s is doing better too, such a worry isn't it? You had a trying weekend, but girl you are doing awesome....may this week go well for you too....Hugs....

Pooz, Marion, glad you gals are getting summer, looks like we got forgotten here...rain everyday but 2 since June 28th...so am thankful for the 2 days that didn't....smiling...I'm thinking that this month may be a scorcher here...glad you two are doing well....How nice that you can spend time in Victoria now in your Condo, Pooz...can't wait to see it...and you and Don...Marion, hope your mom is doing better now too, such a worry when our parents have difficulty at that age...Hugs...

Shirley and Diana...Have a wonderful day today, Diana hope you are enjoying your time with your dear brother....bet you have lots to catch up on...smiling...enjoy yourself kiddo....

Shirley, Today I am attempting the RSP again, this time I will succeed..if I can get one day done, I should do better...so am giving it my best shot today....hope today is easier for you too, these slumps are awful....Hugs...

Donna, Midge, Vickie, and all the rest, have a good day, and will catch up to you all later....

Hugs and love, Karen

Weigh in wasn't great this morning up 3 pounds...I reaped what I sowed....so time to smarten up.....

320/223.5/150

Yeap I deserve a great big "kick in the pants"...what am I doing , and what was I thinking?...obviously I wasn't doing either...sigh...Up 3 pounds this morning, at this rate I'll regain it all in a couple of months...so time to get with it, or get out of it....so I choose to get with it!!!!! 

Off to work this morning with a heart of gratitude, that I have a job, and am able to work too....smiling...I am really very blessed in so many ways I couldn't begin to count....Yes I gained again, and yes, I slacked off again, but today I will be good to me and treat myself with the same care and love I do for others....It has to begin with me...this slump I've been in, is no different that self-destruction....I am addicted to food, and really need to get those trigger foods out of my life until I can effectively deal with them....

breads, cheeses, mostly....sure they are whole grain breads, and low fat cheeses, but I don't stop at one sandwich,...so this is going to go....smiling...Also, my thinking needs changing, back to Key 1 and restarting the RSP today to kick out the carbs....

Mostly, need to have a good talking to myself....so easy to get snared by my own negative thinking....it works great to avoid things....time to get real....

Well, hi ho hi ho, off to work I go soon....smiling....will be thinking of you all...

Hugs and love, Karen....and Happy Holiday my dear canuck friends....

Day one of the job is over...lol...I must say the 8 hours went fast, considering all the busyness and work...my I am stiff and sore, my feet hurt, in between my shoulder blades feels pretty tense and sore...but I Did IT,,,,lol.. Baked 12 dozen cookies, 6 dozen muffins, cake, prepped veggies galore (can you believe I peeled BY HAND 100 pounds of those spuds...lol..) I looked at that sack and it hit me, that I had lost that much fat..my goodness, it was an eyeopener...smiling...

I am hoping this works out , at least until I can secure something more in my field...as I don't know how long I can handle this much physical work, and especially for min wage...but hey I got $4.75 in tips today...ha ha....

Thanks everyone for your support I totally felt it all day...love you all...

Hugs too,

Karen

You all are just wonderful...I can honestly say it did feel good to achieve all the work I did, but to be honest with you, and Pooz I think you know this too, from our chat last night on the phone, I really don't know if I can keep this pace up....it is VERY demanding, and physical...I hurt so bad today, but am truly hoping that I will eventually get in better shape, it shows me that if I can do all this, I surely can lose more weight and do my WLC in  a positive way too...thanks ...lol...

I'm off again today, hoping it will be a little less intense on my old body, tee hee...

Will check in later, have a great day all, and Sharon , praying for a speedy recovery for you dear....Hugs and love to all....Karen...and by the way I was down 4 1/2 pounds this morning...all that "glowing" ...ha ha ..
