ROCKINCHICK's CalorieKing blog
Friday, Feb 16 2007 - Friday Woo Hoo
View ROCKINCHICK's food & exercise for this day
I can hardly believe it's here. I get to look forward to another 3 day paid holiday weekend. My plan is to finally clean out the spare bedroom and turn it into an office. It needs major cleaning and stuff moved out of it. I am looking forward to getting my computer out of my daughters bedroom.
My oldest married son has a late Valentines romantic date set for his wife. He is getting a room over looking the lake at Lake Natomas Inn in Folsom. While he is taking her out to dinner, I am to go to the the room (if hotel permits) and scatter rose petals all over. I feel kinda silly, but when I told my dh what he asked he said " oh so now you want that for you" I said no thank you. It ain't me.
I had my last therapy appointment last night. I have made significant improvements in my outward personality. She was very impressed. I have gone from making myself a blubbering victim to being a nicer person. I no longer feel sorry for myself. If someone treats me a certain way I can now shrug it off as "it's there loss" or "what are they going through this day" instead of "what did I do wrong", "no one ever likes me or talks to me". I now have to remember to practice these things. I have tools to use.
Talking about tools, I have not opened my weight loss tool box for a couple of weeks now. Since I made my mini goal in January I have been very lazy about practicing what I've been preaching. So from this day on I will be more aware of it and not be lazy about logging, blogging or walking.
We've been going to Sam's Club the last couple of weeks. I am sorta dissapointed when I can find fat free coffee creamer, low fat cheese or even light salad dressings I am willing to eat. But the value of meats, veggies frozen or fresh and some cereals and snacks is a great thing. Even my dh is getting into reading lables. He loves canned fruit, it's hard for him right now to eat fresh fruit (we've all been there). He picked up a box of del monte light fruit cups and read "wow these have 13 grams of sugar per serving". I was flabbergasted but I know some of that sugar is the fruit itself. He is really starting to come around. I am proud of him.
Gotta go and get my Friday started by packing my lunch.

I am so happy for you! What progress you have made. I know what you mean about feeling like it was my fault when someone didn't act as friendly as I expected them to. That has been a huge challenge for me all my life. I also have improved on this. My boss wanted everyone to go out for a drink after work one night while I was away on my trip and I said no. I needed to check in to my hotel, the roads were bad, and I was worried about where my car was parked. He was insistent about it and seemed unhappy that I wasn't going. I held my ground and was firm, but nice about it. I tried not to let it bother me that he was so insistent. I was really proud that I could shrug this off and that I was confident about the way that I handled it. Later, I found out that several other people didn't go and that was why he reacted the way that he did. It has taken me a long time to build my self confidence. I am so proud of you, Kathy!

I'm glad that the therapist helped you to realize what a good person you are and that it is the other people's problem and not yours!
:clap: You are a genuine, caring, good person and I love you for that!

Excellent job on getting under 300! That is such a milestone. Sounds like your therapy really helped and yeah for dh paying attention to labels.
