Exciting Friday nite…not
Well I am spending my evening doing a huge laundry! So I thought I would come on and say hi.
What is everyone up to?
I am going to finish my laundry and maybe watch a movie soon.
I sure appreciate all the prayers! Now we are just waiting on the Lord to work. I did place some calls to some assistance places, but I have to wait till Monday to find out anything.
But mom called and said the social worker is going to call me next week. They will NOT release her to go back home alone, will have to be to assisted living, I am actually releived, not if we can just her moved ok.
I am so thankful you all are bearing with me all this has nothing to do with weight loss.
I need to get back to that subject.
A good friend listed in an email today, the things she liked and disliked about overweight vs weight loss. Was a great list.
Some of my dislikes about losing weight are:
Too much loose skin
My “girls” don’t fill out their homes anymore!
Hmmm, ok, can’t think of anymore, lol
Likes:
No more breathlessness and chest pain when I walk any distance.
Way more endurance
I can fit into small seats on the bus, and movie theaters!
I don’t get hit on be geeks anymore(thanks for this one, Nancy!)
Way more self confident in public, I don’t feel like people are staring at the “fat girl”
Not nearly as nervous meeting new people.
These are just some of the positives that come to mind.
How about you? I think we get so caught up in life that we forget what we are doing, and why.
Can we take time to refocus?
I have found that my joy in doing this health journey was slipping and it was starting to feel like drudgery. But I am NOT going to let that happen. I LOVE being healthy and feeding my body what it really needs.
My life and circumstances will have to step out of the way, I am reclaiming what is mine, a fit, healthy body, that is what I/we all deserve, so let’s not let anything steal it away.
Ok, not sure where that outburst came from, but it wanted out. So forgive my rambling. I just needed to babble to my buddies. Love you all!
Ok, gotta go get my clothes out of the dryer!

Go do your laundry.
Stick with it. You can do it.
Hope everything goes smoothly finding an assisted living for your mom! Sending you both good thoughts and prayers!
Big HUGS!
I have more stamina for physical work & for physical fun lol.
I havent gotten far enough for the baggy skin..yuck…my fear about this whole weight loss. The only negative would be certain peoples reaction…no good job..no support…maybe some jealously..not my problem though.
much love girl…Debbie
OMG I love this blog, it is full of positivism and optimism!! I am so glad you wrote it and even more glad I read it!! You are right, life happens, but the care our bodies deserve cannot be compromised by our circumstances!! If you can get back to your health despite of the current state of affairs in your life, none of us here have an excuse not to. None of us here has an excuse to feel sorry for ourselves and throw ourselves a pity party with bonbons and pizza!! Know what I mean chili bean? GREAT BLOG Kama!
And one last thing—don’t ever apologize for sharing with us—we are here for you—good times or not!! Love ya!
One thing I don’t like about losing weight is that none of my rings fit anymore! It’s going to be expensive to have them all resized! Other than that…can’t think of anything. Losing weight is one of the best things I’ve ever done.
