December 22nd!! Everyday the days get longer now!! YAY!!! I am so thrilled. I survived the shortest day of the year!!!
My spirits are a bit brighter today too because I finally have a "new" low. geesh. I will be interested to see if I follow the same pattern this week. I hope not. I'm only down 8 tenths from my low last week but at least I am down so I'm not going to belly ache about it too much. Still 33 lbs to go. I like the theory of fluctuating caloric intake but I've yet to see a super duper result from it other than fluctuating wildly up when I feast!! In the midst of this experiment thought I am learning once again to pay attention to my body's cues. When am I thirsty? When am I hungry? Learning to respond appropriately to the cues and if indeed I am hungry give it fuel!!! I tend to lean towards the "all or nothing" club which I need to resist.
Exercise has been virtually non-existent this week. When things start to go caddy-wampus I lose my routine. If I don't do it first thing in the morning I tend not to do it at all. I'm not stressing about it though because soon the holidays will be over and I am hoping to get back to some routine.
DH has decided to juice. Which means Moose is making juice!! He is so tired ... 12 hour shifts all this week ... lots of snow ... but he is really trying to change how he eats so I of course am juicing. The juicer I have is fairly easy to use (Champion) but it is one more thing for me to do. Love. The things we do for love.
Today? Well Mom wants to do a little more shopping and so I am ferrying her to town. With the warm temps (in the 30's) and the amount of snow we've had the roads are questionable in places. At 73 she isn't as adventurous about driving as she was in her youth ... enter Moose. I need to go to the dump anyway and get rid of some trash before company arrives so it will work out fine. Thinking we might bring Subway sandwiches home for a treat.
So she's showering now ... I'm next ... DH is sleeping and for the most part all is well in our abode. Batteries still failing but we are doing our best to nurse them along until we can afford to replace them.
Grateful today ...
Wrapped some gifts last night and listened to Joe Diffie's CD, Mr. Christmas, one of my favorites!
A drop in the scale. Oh how I needed to see that!!
DH getting safely home to me yet another night.
4 consecutive days off in a row from work.
Being able to eat just 1/2 of a cookie and not raiding the kitchen last night!!!
A work in process am I. Ever needing to practice kindness to myself and to take care of me. Very grateful for Fatsecret ...
