I think I will have to diet for the rest of my life, I keep yo yoing which is very bad from what I understand.
Jeff gets back on tuesday...I have been on the computer for hours! I bought some ready made food from sandras health food store: chicken salad, veggie soup, quinoa soup, tabouli salad, lentil rice which is a high carb food though that I love!
I survived trivia drinking only water. and eating fairly healthy too. so that was good. Fun but we were horrible!
One of my 88 year old clients who lives on the street behind us. Had all four tires and rims stolen off her car on last sunday. The car was on blocks when I saw her yesterday. Can't believed that happened. She has a malibu with fancy rims(why I don't know), $2,200 for them to be replaced. They are looking for replacements. My husband has fancy rims and now I worry that I will come out to the same thing on his car. Maybe we should convert our car port to a garage???? Our neighbor hood is one of the safest neighborhoods (from what police told me months ago when our neighbors moved because their cars kept getting broken into them, they left their doors unlocked though. same thing happened to my car several years ago. I just make sure my car door is locked every night now.
Obviously there is crime everywhere.
I work today so that is good.
Am going to meet a friend at planet fitness tonight, show her around, hoping that she joins so that I can have a walk buddy.
She too has sleep issues and can't seem to find the right medication to help her sleep.
I feel so sorry for people who can't get enough sleep.
I need to do laundry tomorrow and maybe I will clean a little.
The house is full of cat hair and my bath room floor is sticky again.
I hope yall have a good weekend.

A lot of people end up on the yo-yo dieting. It's so hard to lose weight and keep it off. The two weeks I did my South Beach Diet was my 1st diet ever. I was very disciplined while on it, but have had zero willpower since. If that's any indication of how things will go, I will end up with a yo-yo of my own.

You're buying prepared food, but think of it this way: you're buying it from a health food store, so it doesn't have all the sodium and preservatives you would be getting from items off the regular grocery store shelves or freezer.

A couple of months ago, we got a prerecorded message from our local police department warning us that there were a lot of break-ins in our neighborhood. I think it was pretty great that they went out of their way to warn us. There's not much you can do if you have expensive rims though. If your neighborhood is going south, and you can afford to convert your carport to a garage it may be worth it.

I hope you have your walking buddy tonight

I thought that everyone diets their whole life.

That is what my Mom does. She is always conscious of what she is eating.

(Of course, in my mind, I see her as having something close to an eating
disorder -- not hard to see patterns of disordered eating and thinking among
her siblings.)

Had a client cancel this afternoon because she is sick, she will call me to reschedule when she is feeling better. She was to be a new client.
So that means I have a 2 hour window of time to do my laundry.
Get that out of the way today instead of tomorrow.
Other than brunch at the diner that jeff and I frequent, tomorrow I don't have any plans. I will have to face cleaning my house or working on the yard....there is no excuse to keep me from doing some work around the house even though I avoid it like the plague.
I have a client at 3 and then 4;30 for a friend of mine.
My friend has been being treated for cancer for a year now I think....Her cancer has had a turn of events. She is on a feeding tube now.
Today is her birthday and her husband contacted me to come to the hospital to give her a pedicure. So I will go around 4:30 since her feedings are continuous and meal time is not an issue.
AT 2pm He has arranged to have some other friends of hers to play flute for her...That is her instrument...she will have time to rest before I get there. They are well respected in the community and are lovely people have a wonderfully full family who have been so supportive. She has been hospitalized since july 19th which I was unaware of until today.
There are many happy birthday wishes on facebook today for her.
I am not going to charge them for my services because she is a friend and because I believe it is time for hospice and I volunteer for hospice patients.
I will have plenty of time to comfort and pamper her before running home for a bite to eat and then meeting stephanie at 7pm at planet fitness.
It will be hard because she is a friend.....

The cats are doing ok on their new food and limited amounts. Hazel finished her bowl last night early before I went to bed so I added some more to her dish but not to hatties. Hattie is the one on the diet not hazel who is very petite and thin, I have not given them any treats and they don't seem to mind...hattie only cried a couple of times. Jeff feeds hattie too many treats and I am not sure if he can get away with not giving in when he gets home. They are such creatures of routine. Treat time was twice a day, hattie would cry and wake us up early in the morning begging for treats. They have been silent for the most part since jeff has been away.
They are really his cats.
Our regular pet sitter will be on vacation next weekend so will be unable to take care of the cats so I asked my friend stephanie if she would be able to do that and she said yes. I insisted that I pay her...it is a lot to ask some one to come twice a day.
One load in the washer, one load drying. one hour left before my next appointment...think I timed it right. All I have to do is hang my scrubs up and not iron them! Have saved alot on dry cleaning bills since last november...that is when I bought these new scrubs at my lowest weight.
So now they are all too tight. Sigh
I will properly fit into them in time.

I just got back from planet fitness and walked on the tred mill for
5K(3.1 miles) first time in a while. I was jogging a year ago and injured my thigh so I stopped. I actually jogged a 10k in november that about killed me I was not prepared for it, I hurt for days afterward.
I met my girl friend and we talked and walked, it was great. She is thinking about joining. Though she has another place to check out which offers more things for her like classes, yoga and has a pool to swim. But costs more....
I hope she joins Planet fitness but that is being selfish of me.
I WANT A WALKING BUDDY!

I am a bit hypo and have been on the internet far too long......

That is cute about the cats being quiet in the mornings when he is away.


They are creatures of habit.

My friend in the hospital is doing much better than I thought. she is healing and has a great attitude. Maybe she is not a candidate for hospice yet?

I'm sorry that your friend is in hospice. I'm glad that you're going to be pampering her today. It will be a nice bonding experience for the two of you as well. It sounds like she has an excellent support system, and I'm happy to hear that

I wish your friend would join up at your gym. It's good to have a buddy to help motivate you.

It's so hard to feed two cats separately when they have separate needs. They may be creatures of habit, but they also may end up sneaking food from one another despite those habits. Hazel will get what she needs.
I spoil out cats, but not everyday. My husband likes to play with them, and usually chooses the day I vacuum to dump piles of catnip all over them, and the floor

That is wonderful news!

Obviously, if she stays in the hospital much longer, it's likely she's not ready for hospice.
