  • Life just has a way of getting in the way sometimes

    And I really HATE that I let it.

    <giant grumble>

    And trust me it ain't my stomach doing the grumbling ...... it's pretty full at the moment.

    Im not going to make a list of excuses. Im not going to make vows to become a reborn low carber. Nor am I going to pledge allegiance to the exercise goddess. I guess I'm just back here trying to work the program one hour at a time............... and

    Vent.

    Day one all over again for me.

    Breakfast: chicken salad
    Lunch plans: salad with .... chicken!
    Dinner plans: Have a pot roast in the crock simmering today. Cauliflour taters on the side.

    Water to relieve what Im sure is going to be the induction flu from hedes. A large bottle of tylenol is at the top of my grocery list. And nowhere on that list are goodies for my family. Let them suffer with me I say.

    Arghhhhhhhhhh

    Headed out to rake a bumper crop of pinecones off my front lawn and haul em away.

    Thats got to get me a gold star for getting in some exercise today.

                Thanks for listening to my vent. My attitude has been part of the problem Im afraid. This weight loss thing is pretty hard sometimes and it is easy to stumble. Not that it makes it any easier to realize it ...... but I do believe that one doesn't fail until one gives up.

                I am not giving up.

                LCIC.............. Yep, pretend they are pine cones. lol

                I now have a back yard screaming my name but it has gotten cold here again and Ill get to it as soon as we get some warmer temps.

                Where is spring anyway????? This winter thing just isn't all its cracked up to be.

                Thanks again guys. So glad to have the support here of STAC!

                    Thanks Lynn

                    Star has been draggin my butt around the block and the funk is clearing all the time. There it light at the end of the tunnel and it ain't a train coming from the other side.

                    Off to pack water and some left over pot roast for work. Off to a good start for the day.

                        ((((Terry)))) It's really, really good to see you

                        Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. Life has been kickin' my butt too, but ya know? The only thing we can do is the best we can with what we've got to work with - and as things get addressed, we can refocus and get it going on. You're here, so that counts for tons!!!

                        Have a fantastic day!

                        I missed you.

                          Hi Brook

                          Thanks for the good words. I have finally gotten my attitude adjustment and will spring back. Sure is helping to clear the sugar out of my system. Shying away from here was not working for me.

                          Star............... I got my hair all back where it belongs now. Although there seems to be a bit less of it than I remember????? Thanks for being my cave woman by the way. You drag butt with the best of em............... I couldnt ask for better.
