I am logging today's weight - it was not bad after all, a new low! It's stopped raining, and the damage to the car is not so bad - and maybe my daughter will come home and paint the garage, too!
Dividing up our stuff, hubby decided he won't need the treadmill he never let me use - he put it in his weight room and then felt that I was not using it right so wouldn't let me in there (really). Now, I am getting it all for my own! First thing I am going to do is put it in the tv room so I can run while I watch tv and/or use my laptop - front and center in the big-butt-forming rec room! I am so excited - I watch tv for an hour every night after my daughter goes to bed, and now I can exercise at the same time which DH didn't want to listen to!
I have my gym membership still, but my friend is a teacher and she has been pooped with the start of school, so we haven't gone in two weeks - we'll get that going this week again though, so I won't be wasting my membership. She really has to go with me or else I don't go.
I'm sad over my break-up here, but change is always hard and I do want both me and hubby to be happy so if he has to go for him to be happy, then that is what will have to be and he'll stop complaining about how this isn't what he wants out of life. We are moving forward and it looks better and better as we go along.
I have a lot less stress today - DH thinks the car is still pretty driveable it just looks like heck. Gotta get my lunch situation in order for tomorrow and put my veggies in measured containers. I am really loving the Fresh Express salad kit and it's got a low calorie version too!

Don't be afraid of change abba, it's inevitable. I can see wonderful things coming into your life (and they say I'm clairvoyant ;-) ). There certainly are a lot of things going on at the moment (when it rains, it pours). In the case of the car, just think of how much worse that could have been. In the case of the separation, try to look at life differently and follow what your own heart really tells you. By all means do not just run out and try to find another similar situation. Try to view everything that happens as eventually leading you to a better place. Hang in there my friend.

I'm glad you are getting the treadmill out of this difficult situation! I love your attitude - about if this is what it takes for you both to be happy, so be it. I can see you will be more than fine!

I know things have been shaky between you and husband ... didn't realize that there had been a decision to go your separate ways. Change is really the only thing predictable in this life. Some changes are more welcome than others. All change brings new opportunities. I agree with Info (who really is clairvoyant ... LOL!!)that wonderful things are coming into your life. So interesting about the treadmill and I'm so delighted you are getting it!!! I almost always watch "TV" when I work out on my elliptical (once in a blue moon I'll listen to music instead). It really helps to distract me ... and keep me motivated to stay on longer. I bet you do have a lot of stress. Just take each moment as it comes ... and DO focus on doing things good for you. I'm saddened by your loss but at the same time happy that good things will be coming your way. You deserve to feel accepted, loved, supported and be able to give the same.

You know I am here for you abba. You are doing great through all this stress and you know you will be happier in the long run. Change is hard. Filling our lives with new things and letting go of the old. Take your time and it's okay to be sad. Get it all out of your system and start doing one new thing everyday that is only your own. Before you know it you will have a whole new life and you sure deserve it. It's great you are getting the treadmill. I always watch the news in the morning while I exercise. It really helps to keep my mind from looking at the time every few minutes. I'm glad the car is drivable.
