Day 8
Grateful for: my daughters who are happy girls in their ways! Younger drove to college today - couldn't understand, wouldn't understand, why I was not willing to make the 4 hour trip again on Thursday to move her from one side of campus to the other - she is there for Band Camp this week in a temporary spot - her roommate actually took the bus to get there so her parents wouldn't have to drive twice...Younger talked the whole way there.
Older one came with us, and drove back with me - maybe I got her to speak 20 words? Ok, maybe she is too deep a thinker or too deep into her own thing to share.
Night and Day, my daughters.
Grateful for: being able to cry and think and consider. Now that the girls will be gone, I can get my house into shape starting Wednesday, and there is no excuse to stall setting up the treadmill either.
Just a couple more weeks of night shift. OMG I don't know if I will be able to get through it. But I can't quit my job, and that is the only alternative! Argh. Realized Friday that what makes the job so bad now is that my next door neighbor has a deep excavation going on and the backhoe runs full throttle from 7 am to 3 pm, when I am trying to sleep. Earplugs are not keeping the sound out at all. Now that younger daughter is gone, I will move into her room and run the AC when I am sleeping - her room is on the opposite side of the house from the neighbor. Might even try moving to a friend's house for a couple of weeks. Arrgh.
Grateful for friends.
I am not losing any weight - I think the only way to do it will be to get back on the calorie-counting - last year when I was counting daily was the only time I actually lost. Ok, gearing up - maybe by Friday I'll get back to it?
Hope all of you had a great Saturday! It is gorgeous here, so I am going to get outside!

Yes ... return to calorie counting. It works. Still, even though you are not losing, you are on the journey Abba. It encompasses everything you are traversing. You'll make it through the nights ... I know you will!!! Take care of yourself ... keep writing ... keep practicing being kind to yourself.

You have been quite busy lately I see from your journals. You seem a bit happier with yourself also so I hope that means you are starting to "recover", so to say. I have never been able to successfully lose weight long term without the counting. For me it is the only way. I record everything and then I know where I am. Hope it works for you. Have a wonderful weekend.

Yes I think the counting will really help you stay on track better than anything else. This way through out the day you have a general idea of where you are. Sounds like you have been a busy lady.

Never a dull moment, huh Abba?? Lol, can you imagine the scenarios we have with the middle boys, a year apart, even in the church pew!!!...ever so quietly and looking like angels the whole time. ;) I try not to smile. Youth are full of life and plans and trust. Delightful!...Good grief with all that racket in the day!!! What sort of work do you do Abba?? BTW, your chart looks just fine to me.;) A week or two does not a lifetime make...that's what my WW leader always says. ;)
