I've been so bad about posting. I can't seem to manage my time.
I am trying very hard, to get a workable system down,
so that I will have more time here and over at A Tail of 2 Doggies.
Yeah - we won't even talk about Facebook
(I blame it all on Tater...She keeps finding new games and gosh,
I don't want to hurt her feelings, so I start playing and then I get
all flumuxed trying to keep up with her.
Yep that's my story and I'm stick'n to it!!!)
But I have been pretty good on the dieting / eating plan.
I haven't had fast food in close to 2 months now.
Just the one Coke, when I had a major blood sugar plunge,
while out with Oscar Jr. several weeks ago.
I went shopping last Sunday - which is something I just don't ever do. We don't shop, or go out to eat on Sunday's (unless we are traveling, and have no other recourse). But, I was a little frustrated, and I saw this dress that I really wanted to try on. It was a little place - I know that none of you have ever been there. I ended up finding about 4 or 5 dresses, some pants and at least a half dozen shirts. Maybe one day I'll model a few of them for you - HA - ain't gonna happen.
And do you know how much I paid?
NOT ONE RED CENT!
That's right...zip, zilch, zero. How did I do it?

You see, I've been losing weight.
(I'm gonna whisper this to you now...cause I don't want to jinx myself.
I've lost about 20 lbs.)
But dang - you can't tell it by look'n at me.
No lie. I'm watching the numbers gone down, little by little,
but the mirror ain't cooperating:-(
I didn't do the wise thing, and write down my measurements,
when I stepped up and joined Raving Robynn's 30 Day Throw Down.
I can't claim that the loss is due to tremendous will power.
As of late, I'm honestly just not hungry most of the time.
That, and maybe my metabolism has kicked in now that
I'm on medication for my thyroid.
Top that off, with the fact that I'm having digestive problems.
(My immunologist, back home in Florida, told me
that a lot of my stomach problems are classic signs of
eating foods that I have a serious intolerance / allergy to.
I have +2 and +3 reactions to so many foods, that if I cut them
all out of my diet, I would only be eating broccoli, meat and carrots and
bread. Yes I'm weird. I'm allergic to just about everything but wheat!)
I have to eat little meals, and eat almost NO fat, or else I pay dearly.
Okay - back to the closet - I decided to see if maybe I could force
myself into some things that I haven't been able to wear for a long time now.
Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit.
Not only have I been able to squeeze myself in... but they fit nicely.
Who would have thunk it?
Well, I've bored you all to tears at this point, so I'll say adios for now.
But (said in a really bad impersonation of Arnold),
I'll be back!

Libby, I'm happy for you and jealous all at the same time! :-) I've lost weight too, but not even half what you've lost! You go girl! And I hope to be catching up with you soon!
Well, I've been patiently waiting to hear from YOU. :-) Good to 'hear' you and CONGRATS on being healthier. Stay well and don't spread yourself too thin with this computer stuff! We'll see you again when we do.
Oooh wow, that's wnderful news! Way to go Libby!! I was wondering about the throwdown and all the excercising. I thought this would have SOME effect, and there you are! What a blast!!
Butter my butt and call me a biscuit. I must remember that. LOVE it!
Butter my butt and call me a biscuit!! Oh, I love that... giggling my way round the keys trying to write this... FAB!

First..let me congratulate you on the weight loss..no wonder you wanted to stay away from "my place", but not all the recipes are a weight gain..thank goodness. I've managed to lose 14lb since the summer..yay!!
My friend bought me Dan Brown's new book last month, I'm deperate to get past the first chapter...not enough hours in the day lol...if you want to pop over, please do..I'll leave the light on for you :o)
Libby;
We are on some of the same journeys. Good luck and I wish you the best with it. I hope to reach my goal by my birthday in February.
Facebook.....grr. They have a Facebook Lite now I may give a whirl. But having my hand in so many things gets my perimenopausal mind even more confused than it already it....lol.
I admire anyone who can lose 20 pounds!! Now, if only I could!
I've been lax blogging as well.
Congrats on the weight loss! The funny thing about loosing weight is you will all of sudden see it one day when the day before you didn't. Keep up the good work!
MOM!!! Congratulations on your amazing weight loss!!! I had no idea. I guess it's been a couple weeks since we've really talked. Who cares what the mirror is showing if you can fit into smaller clothes. Doesn't that feel awesome?!??! I am so happy for you! I almost started cheering at the computer, then realized that Barry has fallen asleep on the recliner. Don't want to wake him up. =) You go girl!!!
Libby!!! 20 pounds?!!! I CAN tell! You look mahvelous, dahling! Wow, shoppin in your own closet. You caught me off guard with that one and I bet you can tell. But I know what you mean. I'm down 17 and honestly, I don't think anyone will notice until it's 40-50. But WE notice, Libby. And your CLOTHES definitely noticed!!
I'm so happy for you and glad to have you encouraging me because IT DOES!! Even a few tears right now, friend. Is that so dumb?! WHAT is THAT all about?!
