NanaKP's Journal, 12 December 2017

Things are still up in the air with us. Ernie's pain is making him hard to live with. At least that is the excuse I'm using. Also , we are moving again. Don't know if I mentioned that before . I've not been happy here since we moved in. We are going to the place I wanted to go from the beginning. Dec 31st (yep - New Year's eve). Got a rate lock if signed paper by then.
It should be much easier for my carbs because I will have the ability to choose from a largrr, better menu. I'm very happy with myself because I'm still losing even with the limited choices and the daily turmoil of MEDICAL and other influences . The last two days all I have wanted to do is pig out on carbs. I reminded myself the struggle to lose these 80 lbs,the fact that my A1C is below 7, and I am going to need to buy a bathing suit for the pool. Today I wore an OLD denim dress that I haven't worn in OVER 20 years. At least three people in the dining room told me how nice I looked and they weren't all at the same table. I need this kind of re enforcement when my brain (never my stomach) tells me I deserve that bag of cookies. Look at me. Not quite svelte at 253 lbs., but not 335 anymore either. Wanted to be in the 240s by Christmas, but I'll shoot for Jan 1. Eggnog and fruitcake are strictly rationed this year. No idea what we are doing for Christmas. I don't need a big day. Thanksgiving has always been my big feasting day. All I need is to see the kids for an hour or so and I'm happy. We don't even have a tree. Most of our Christmas stuff didn't make the move and we usually keep things up until the 6th and we will hopefully tucked in at our new place, or in the pool. Last week was also stressful because of all the fires. We were not evacuated this time but the other parts of our family were. My daughter in law said she was at her brother's and she and her mom took a walk on the beach and went to lunch while her dad fretted about their home. Nice weather for everything but fires. I actually sat out on the patio for an hour today and soaked up some of the sun. Felt good especially since I spent the morning in bed threatening to get a migraine . Doing OK now. Hope everyone is getting their shopping out of the way and looking forward to Ssnta's arrival.
