Ok, well, not literally, But, in my mind, I am doin’ the Happy Dance. I cannot believe yesterday’s weigh in. As I said earlier, I just wasn’t “feeling it”. So, I was hoping at best a “stay the same”. I stuck to the plan and did well in that aspect, but..well, I dont’ know. I just. wasn’t. feeling. it.

So much for “feelings”. 7 lbs I lost this week. Whoohooo! That makes a grand total of 24. And I am phyche to continue doing what I’m doing. Having to do that 8 oz of “real food” protein is really helping. I’m not totally deprived of eating “real food”, and yet, I am able to do it in such a way that the weight is coming off, and I’m not starving to do it. And, I’m getting healthier as well as thinner. (I know, I know, I have zillions of miles to go before I’ll ever be thin. But, I have noticed in some areas, I am feeling better. The steps are getting a bit easier. Shopping — I can go for longer periods of time now. Not long periods of time, but longer than what I could, which just about nile. Baby steps, it’ll get better. And I am going to ask about incorporating some exercise into my days when I go next week.

Oh! Oh! OH! thats the other piece of good news. When she took my pulse yesterday — it was nice and steady. My heart is back in rhythm. Whoo hoo! Can you tell I was bouncing off the wall yesterday.

I just didn’t have a chance to get in here last night. Before leaving town, Ethan wanted McDonalds … and by using their Dollar menu, he can get supper pretty cheap. But, as we were driving through, I was hungry too….and sitting next to him, eating a hamburger and McDonald’s french fries … I just didnt’ want to subject myself to that. So, before placing his order, I threw out a suggestion… lets just wait and eat in “our” town. He was all for that, so we just ordered a drink and were on our way. I called David to see what he ended up do for supper. He had a couple of options. He stopped by his mom and dad’s, and just never got away. He said they were going to the Mexican food place. I asked him if they would wait for us (its an hour home) … but, it was also 7:00. So, I could understand why they didn’t really want to. He told me to call when we go closer, and he’d go ahead and order for us, and HE would wait for us, even if his mom and dad didn’t.

Thats what we did … and it was really nice. We walk in, sit down, and was served our food right away. And they were all still eating too, so it worked out all the way around. I had my wonderful shrimp salad, and was happy.

When we got home, one of David’s drivers was having truck trouble, and David needed the computer to look up some repair shops for him. I never did get on the computer. Whenthe news came on — thats usually when I get on the computer, I was ready to go to bed.

I had to do a ProTime check, so didn’t time to get on the computer this morning. *Sigh. But, I do have an hour — a whole hour — all to myself here a lunch time. My new work schedule starts next week. I need to decide how I am going to do my lunch hours, between the 2 jobs. Go home, and have a bit of down time just for me. Or go ahead and go out there, eat my lunch, and play on the computer, until 1:00. That way I know I am always there at 1:00 - on time. I’ll decide Monday which way I’ll do it:)

Can’t believe the weekend is here already. Or OCTOBER. Its flying by. I have some “goals” set that I would like to meet by the first of the year. So, in that respect, I don’t mind the days flying by.

Blessings to all.
