Weight Watchers

-
Well, this was not a good week as dieting goes. I went over my extra points. Last night, I made a dinner for friends and it was extremely high in fat, carbs, and calories. After last night's meal I thought for sure that I either stayed the same or worse, gained. However, I stepped on the scale this morning and I have lost 3 lbs. for a total weight loss of...............

22 lbs.!

WHEW!!!! I am breathing a big sigh of relief and pushing hard at it this week. I'll check back in next Sunday.

    Good Job, Terri! You need to be congratulated. It is hard, I know, especially when you make all those good foods for your family and friends.

    I had a similar week which I posted this morning, you can check it out but my weight loss so far is another 2 pounds with a total loss of 18 pounds and a inch loss this week of 3" to total 11" lossed.

    Keep up the good work!

    Love,
    Mom

When the Unexpected Pops Up

On Thursday afternoon, just as Dan and I were getting ready to leave for a meeting, we received a phone call from our son. He was sitting on the side of the road with a blown engine in his car. The problem is he lives 3 1/2 hours away. After back and forth phone calls he called a tow truck and got it towed to a garage. He ended up renting a car and headed here for the holiday. We've been working with him to figure out his next steps because he still owes thousands of dollars on the car which will also take a significant amount to replace the engine. His rent is going up in the new year. His seasonal job ended and he is trying to find something else, but needs a car for that to happen. His car still has not been looked at by the mechanic. It is all more than a little overwhelming. Long story short, we extended an invitation for him to live here temporarily so he can get out from under all of this. It would save him money on expensive rent and utilities.  The timing was right since h...

Oh What to Do; I'm Sixty-Two!

Today is my sixty-second birthday and it's hard to believe I've achieved that....um....seasoned age! My first thought this morning was one of not being sure that I like it. However,  as I thought I about it, I decided to take joy in the fact that I've reached an older age. Because age comes with benefits. Benefit #1 - I'm a bit wiser.   When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was younger, I cringe. With age has come the ability to slow down and think things through before I make major upheavals in my life. I've also discovered that getting worked up about certain things is just an absolute waste of emotional energy. Benefit #2 - I'm enjoying my life.   As I've aged I've learned all kinds of skills and hobbies and can honestly say that I'm never, ever bored. I love all the different things I'm able to do and it's fun! Benefit #3 - I've learned to appreciate my relationships. With age I've learned to work on developing a...
