madaboutmoose's Journal, 27 January 2013

Good Sunday morning. Weight steady at 210.2. Eating well yesterday. Had a not quite yet ripe mango (how do you know when a mango is ripe?), a few nuts, tomato soup, sourdough bread, a scrambled egg sandwich and my juices. Didn't get to the shrimp. Hope we cook that today. Was hoping of course to see those coveted single digits but, no. Not yet. Patience? Yes. Patience.

DH did not sleep well. He was up about 4 this morning. Nightmares and indigestion. Apparently the bell peppers he put in the scrambled egg sandwich haunted him. I was able to stay in bed till 7. A rare thing for me. He's reading on his kindle and I'm checking in here while we sip our grapefruit juice and watch the snow fall. Yes. More snow.

We never left the house yesterday and watched all 3 Netflix movies we had. Total Recall, Get the Gringo, and Machine Gun Preacher. Total Recall was well done, a remake with Colin Farrell. Get the Gringo with Mel Gibson was so-so. Didn't really like Machine Gun Preacher. The acting was good, a well made movie but I had problems with the way they portrayed Christianity. It was more about hallelujahs and emotions driving decision making rather than thinking. While I feel for the orphans in the Sudan it troubled me that this man left his wife and child alone, and made big decisions without his wife in order to be in the Sudan. Based on a true story too.

Not sure what is on the horizon for today. We really ought to make a dump run. Will see what DH is up to. I can always entertain myself with something around here.

Grateful (I promise a shorter list today!)

A good nights sleep for me.
A good day of eating on a weekend for me.
Tangy grapefruit juice!
Ironing caught up (no longer draped over my elliptical machine providing now the possibility I could use it for exercise!)
Laundry done.

Another day, another opportunity for me to practice. Kindness towards myself, patience, being mindful, present in each moment life gives me. Hope your weekend is going splendidly. Take care!

Mmmm, grapefruit juice. Quick, I need to make a run to the Northwest :). Carol, your patience is going to make that single digit achievement that much sweeter. Go girl, go.  You keep doing what you're doing.

A mango is ripe when soft to the touch. You push with your finger on it and it will feel soft. if it's hard, it's not ripe...lol. If it feels super soft, then it's over ripe.

Your positive attitude is nice to hear. Just keep the light going inside you, and you will ease into the single digits in due time. You have made an amazing comeback. You are a true warrior. Have a great day... and stay warm. Hugs!

We didn't leave the house yesterday either. It felt good to just chill and relax. Going to pay for it big time over the next 2 days until company comes..Happy Monday..
