The Last Wednesday of this Year
Wednesday, December 31st 2008
It's New Year's Eve. . . . my daughter is having a party at her home, and my son will be there. This is the first New Year's Eve in a very long time that it will just be me and my hubby. Last year, we spent part of the evening with friends, but went home before midnight. This year, it will just be the two of us, sitting down and nibbling on snack and watching TV. Maybe I'll rent a movie. . . .I'm not going to make any resolutions. I never keep them, so what's the point.
Today, I...

The wind is blowing hard. When I was driving back from a meeting, I had a hard time controlling my car. The drive gave me time to think. As much as I am trying to be thankful that my son is home for Christmas, my mind wanders to his deployment.I was thankful that I did workout at the gym this morning. I woke up 1 hour after my normal time. Rushed to the gym. Pushed myself on the treadmill. Then back home, shower, dress and off to a meeting. Working out gave me some clarity of tho...

I stepped on the scale this morning and I'm now 236.4. I am certain that most of my recent weight loss is water weight, but I think that some of it might be fat too. I have been walking, but not very fast. I do not even break a sweat or huff and puff. I have been watching what I eat. 236 was my goal weight for Christmas. But I think I'm going to try for 232. At Christmas, I'll re-evaluate my mini goals. When I began this journey in October, I wrote down where I wanted my weight to be by ...Unbelievable

I am so excited. I am 239.2. I had to step on my scale twice to really believe it. I haven't been this weight in years. In 1998, I remember being in the 220's, so it has been 10 years since I've been under 240. It is hard for me to believe that this is my weight this morning. One week ago, I was having my appendix taken out. I came home on Tuesday and stepped on the scale and was 250. Part of me told myself that it was water weight, but when I was 246 by Thanksgiving, I began to wonder. ...
