View THEFATCHICK's food & exercise for this day
The past week has been a roller coaster of emotions with my Aunts funeral and seeing family I havent seen in what feels like a lifetime. Remembering the joyous moments of our lives with my Aunt followed by tears of sadness because shes gone and consoling one another took its emotional and mental toll on us all.
My cousin Leigh-anne is on hospice out of state and could not make it to her Mothers funeral so they did the next best thing, they used Skype and a laptop to privately and virtually walk her up to the casket so she could say goodbye to her mother. How I wish we could have done that for my brother who was in the hospital when we buried Mom.
At the repast gathering my brother and 8 of our cousins decided to take the 8 hour drive to go see surprise her; the doctors are only giving her a few more weeks with us, I hope its not too much for her. I think it was sweet, my cousin and brother were talking and said why dont we just go see her word got around and next thing you know there were 9 going and 2 that may also follow in a another vehicle. I wish I could have gone too, I wrote her a letter instead, and asked my brother to read it to her for me if she is too weak.
It was harder than I thought it would be and then seeing Moms grave was more than I could handle, all the emotions came rushing back. I was thankful it was not at the same the funeral home because I dont know if I could have handled that. I still cry when I drive past the hospital Mom where Mom passed away. I know the exact window of her room and can see it from the road as I pass by it always makes me sad. I am just glad its over. Our family (cousins and aunts) are going to try and get together again this weekend at my Nieces before everyone goes home. I hope most of us are able to make it.
Everyone is bringing a dish, so I elected to bring a huge garden salad and of course the clams since I live at the shore I can easily get them fresh daily. I will also take up a piece of pre-grilled chicken breast for my salad since I prefer white meat and dont eat beef or clams. I really need to get a handle on my food. I've been watching and yet Im up 9lbs, yes I feel stronger but I feel more comfortable at around 170. Tonight is my weigh-in and measurements with Elle, so I guess its up to tape measure to see how many inches Ive lost.
Its time to go have a good day!
