I admit that it's been a rough few months. bo's mother fell and broke her hip, needing surgery, then bo needed two surgeries. I admit I needed to lose three pounds (not telling why, lol), and went on a "normal" diet to see if for once it would work for me. Low fat, low sugar, less calories...and within several weeks I had put on seven more pounds. I admit I went back to Atkins Diet for around a month. The old fashioned way, from the seventies, not the new version that came out since he died that says low fat, lotsa veggies, and that if you're not exercising then you're not doing Atkins. After a month, I'm taking two days off...and after day one, I got on the scales... I admit that I lost 16 lbs. I admit that after tomorrow (am going to have some strawberry banana Yoplait for breakfast, and for lunch, a slice of PIZZA!!!), I'll be going back on Atkins for another month...then have another 2-3 day break, then do Atkins for another month... I admit that if I had to do exercise right now, with my messed up knees and messed up sacrum and coccyx, then I'd need to be shot and taken to the glue factory. When more weight comes off...and I won't incapacitate myself with pain so that nothing gets done in the house or in the yard, then I'll resume exercising. I admit that I'm going to a friend's birthday party this coming weekend. bo will be recovered enough by then. I'm still looking for a nice, reasonably priced, stock pot (I know she wants this), but I can't find the right one. :( As her house warming present last year I bought her a lot of red stuff for her kitchen...and I cannot find a red stock pot, grrrrr. My condolences for those who have lost loved ones. There is never a right time to lose someone you love...and please don't do to yourself what I usually do to myself...beat myself to death over all the "if onlies" and "I should haves". What was a sudden goodbye for me...was a very gradual letting go for her. Take care of yourself while you are grieving. (I still have some of my beloved great grandmother's letters...and she passed away over twenty years ago. The pain fades...and the love remains.) I admit that it's time to get offline soon (after writing a letter to a friend) so that I can play some Pokemon Rumble Blast before going to bed.
