Blogging late

Saturday, November 22, 2008

Just realized I didn't blog today.Wasn't feeling too good. Hope I am not coming down with anything. I actually went to bed real early but got back up when I started feeling better. Did not get any new veggie this week.The ones I was going to get were mushy.So I got another white eggplant..I did try a star fruit earlier this week.It was ok but nothing great to me.hubby really likes it. Think I will head back to bed

  


Weigh in Day

Friday, November 21, 2008

Today is another beautiful sunny day.
I did not have a loss but I did not have a gain. So I am ok with that. It is always nice to have a loss but bottom line is to not have a gain. I would have liked to have had a little cushion before Thanksgiving but when I look at my food chart I am quite pleased with no gain.
I am working on planning our holiday meal so we can have our favorites but keep portion control by making less of certain things. Will make only portions of certain things like dressing. I may not make any home made gravy as I will make too much and then eat it.So I may just use a small can of gravy which will control calories. SO I am planning ahead. Hubby will have a one slice of pie from grocery store and I will take out a piece of fruit cake my sister made that I have in freezer.

    Great job on maintaining the weight loss and not gaining. I stayed the same this week too and I was OK with it.

Going into the holidays with a plan is a good thing. I've already bought everything for Thanksgiving and I think I'll be just fine. Christmas will be more of a challenge with all the cookies.

Keep up the good work!! I'm proud of you! emoticon

Just venting--ignore

Thursday, November 20, 2008

I am doing this to delay a move to refridgerator. My son just called wanting to borrow $150 so their electricity isn't cut off. I am not saying I never got help as an adult but if I borrowed money I paid it back. I never get paid back except for my daughter.It might take her years but she works at it. I supported 4 kids on my own (Oldest was in army and other son passed away) I worked very hard for what little I have and sometimes I recent giving it away. I supported my family.I just wish they would support theirs. I know I was lucky to have a good job.
I have a place where I keep cash gifts that I save to get something special for myself.I seldom get to as I help kids. I am glad I have it to do but it worries me as to what will they do if I am gone. I am not wealthy by any means.I struggle sometimes to get things done that need to be done sometimes. It just gets me some times. I feel better now.It is off my chest.

    Isn't blogging a nice relief? Your kids are lucky they have somebody to turn to in emergencies. My parents passed away and my sisters are far away (one on the east coast the other on the west coast). We have had some money issues years ago and had to borrow money from the in-laws, which he have since paid off. I could NEVER borrow money and not pay it back. Things are getting alot tighter now with everything so expensive (except gas - $1.88 here) and Christmas. Building our new house in 2006 didn't help with our money issues either.

Sunny but cool day

Thursday, November 20, 2008

I am not talking about my eating as it is not good. Just a bad week for some reason. emoticon
Just finished reading 2 books.
Ghost Stories of St Petersburg,Clearwater and Pinellas County:
Author (MDMNINA) is on spark web site so got it to see what it was like.Got goosebumps in some places but has a lot of history in it.
The Secret Lives of Bees ( Now movie)Young white girl runs away with black nanny and lives with 3 black sisters who knew her mother.
Now I can go back to finishing up Brisinger.
Work is getting very slow where hubby works.They are having a big lay off.It won't affect him as he will be there til doors close which is unlikely but like many places they have to cut back. Even restaurants are cutting back help as less people are going out. It is a hard time for so many people.

  


Good morning.

Wednesday, November 19, 2008

It was a chilly 41 degrees this morning but already is up to 57 degrees.By the weekend we will be in the 70's. Not doing as good at eating as I would like but every day can't be good.Today is a new day. I am keeping track of all foods and lifting my hand weights every day.
My daughter Angel came yesterday and did some cleaning for me.Mostly things that are too hard for me.i wish her sister would help out some but Angel does it willingly so that makes it ok.I know sometimes it is very hard for her. But I am one of those that think children should help their parents. My children saw me take care of my mother as much as I could.
Nothing new.Not in a talkative mood today anyway.

    I'm not talkative either. Actually, I'm pretty cranky and have been all day.

Our high temps for today was the mid 40's!! Better than yesterday so I'll take it. Send some of your warm weather to Wisconsin!! emoticon
