Loathing Loss

Not weight loss of course - loss of any other kind. Loss of my youth, loss of  my kids now that they are older, and mostly I loathe the loss of my mind.

I've done remarkably well this week, and managed to drop 5 lbs without even trying, Isn't stress a strange thing that way?  I have also done very well with my food, Tonight was about 3 Oz of salmon, spinach, 1/2 of a gold sweet potato, and a huge salad.  Later Nehemiah and I had air popped popcorn with ranch seasoning and then a fat free sugar free Jell-O.  Yum!

My insomnia last night made me come in my office and find my last Turtle though, and eat it at 2 AM.  Which led to about 5 Milk Duds! Love chocolate and caramel!

I have been doing tons of work around the house still, and I am using that to compensate for the exercise I'm not getting in. I put the second coat in bathroom today, it looks great, like a creamy latte brown - purdy!  Then switched two closets and went through all of Nehemiah's clothes again to make sure his pants weren't butt huggers super tight, because if he can get them on ~ "they fit"!  I was down to my last load of laundry until we began this expedition. You'd be surprised at the amount of dirty clothes a boy can keep in his closet!

I also finally finished my ACE Personal Trainer Course Book -  Now I have a TON of review to do. I'd like to take my exam right around the new year - just start it off with a bang and set it up to be WAY better than this one has turned out!

Tomorrow will be starting laundry over again - But I think I might take a guest pass to Bally's and see how I like it.  I guess I should go to sleep if I have such lofty plans! :-)

Everyone have a great one and keep on trying!  Baby Steps :-)

  1. Did you make it to Bally's? I haven't ran in a few days. It's rainy and cold right now... a night fit to snuggle in and eat... I mean read. ;)
    Love you... And I don't like loss or change... ;)

  2. Well, today is the 22nd. I tried to right a comment on here on Friday night, but the darn thing wasn't cooperating with me...so, I actually walked two times around the Mall Friday night! If my memory serves me correctly, I think that is a mile. Man were my hips sore! Saturday I walked all day shopping for Christmas presents at Bronner's and the River Place in Frankenmuth. What a great time. Jacob met mom and I and my friend Betty at Denn's mom's and then we all went to Zender's for lunch. Had a wonderful time.
