Two Week Notice Received...
Saturday, February 14th 2009
I am two weeks away from having to renew my CK account. This morning I am undecided about the value of remaining a member.Most of all, I like to blog. But there are other forums where I can blog.
On the Minus Side:
-I have not diaried regularly since early November (if I was even doing it then).

-so is it a good value for the dollar?
On the Plus Side:
-I did drop almost 30 pounds...
Much better day...

Talking to friends and family, and doing some things for myself yesterday and today has really made a difference in my outlook.My Benefits offer an on-line counseling option, something I'm interested in trying - I love to write but can find it tiresome to travel and talk to a helpful person (weird? maybe).

And keep trying to do the right things. Some days I'll succeed. Some days I won't.Two things left to be done in house, then it will be safe and functional to move in, if not yet finished with remodeling.
To myself, I look tired and care-worn. I read of bike rides and ukulele music, and my heart soars. I need t...

... spent the day yesterday cleaning and organizing the house in its current state of remodel. Just too much dust and not enough function at the house to live here safely. I'm back today to do more cleanup, and help hubby with building tasks where I can. But we also reserved hotel room until Thursday.Eating moderately okay. Too much sugar, but not to werepig levels.
Finally feeling I'll have enough energy to start exercising regularly.
Just feeling like this particular phase ...
