Weigh-in on new scale today...
Monday, December 29th 2008
New scale says I weigh 5 pounds more than I did last time I weighed in. Which I think is not bad (see "Werepig" entry from yesterday). Of course, I won't know my real weight until I'm home and do my nude weigh-in.Still, I think I can achieve goal weight in reasonable time, and I'm looking forward to maintenance. Once I've been at goal weight for a year, I'll have my wedding bands re-sized. Right now I wear them on a chain around my neck (near my heart).

Eating like a Werepig (related to werewolf)...
Sunday, December 28th 2008
Werepigs eat everything that doesn't run away. And like Werewolfs, their behavior hurts the ones they love the most :-/Hurts me because I don't feel my best, don't want to interract with my world, start to be grumpy.
Hurts the ones around me because I get so crabby.
I'm in my last 5 or 6 days away from home. The house is filled with "sugar bombs" left over from the holiday and well-meaning friends. Finding it hard to say no, not sure if I have the option to toss the ...
Readying for baby sister's moving day...
Friday, December 26th 2008
Quiet day today. A few errands - still pulling together the threads of middle sister's life, helping baby sister to resettle and move. Feeling thoughtful. Feeling some nice anticipation about the changes that I will seek in my life this coming year. Uncertainty feels like sweet anticipation for a change -- nice, since I'm usually not one to embrace change.Ate better today (less sugar).
Got some boxes packed to ship toward home.
Thinking about middle sister lots. Woke up in t...
Fiddler on the Roof plays in the living room...
Thursday, December 25th 2008
I've just finished a light dinner, the rest of the family is in the living room, and I'm pondering what my "resolutions" (or goals) should be for the new year after the lessons of this closing year. Feeling especially thoughtful after a phone conversation with my older half-brother.Older brother is from my father's first marriage, a boy we didn't get to see but 2x during my childhood. We've tried as adults to have some kind of relationship. Temperamentally, brother tells me tha...
New Week...
Monday, December 22nd 2008
My family tells me we did great at the Memorial Service. I was the only blood relative to speak. My baby sister wrote something that her hubby read for her, my stepmom and dad brought themselves and other gifts (flowers, art), but I was the only one to speak. I'm glad I did speak. I invited anyone who felt comfortable to share a memory or two, to tells us what middle sister meant to them. There were some amazing stories.I learned that middle sister was generous with her time and art, ...
