We rented My Date With Drew - really funny and charming documentary about an aspiring filmmaker trying to get a date with Drew Barrymore. I recommend it.
I am glad for you and your H and the patient of course - all's well that ends well.
Had a big cook up again last evening, and what with my "time of the month" not turning up yet but sending the bloating on as the advance party, I dread getting on the scale on Monday.
Oh well, having a house full of people and music sure boosts my mood!

PS Earlier today, D called me a genius (in all seriousness) so I explained the true meaning of genius, using the example of Mozart and tonight we are going to watch Amadeus together on a DVD. I really love that film! Love the music that's been used for the soundtrack too.

I am back at zero - 68 kilos this morning, partly due to bloating (still no sign of that time of the month ), partly to overeating and entertaining and partly due to stress that I DON'T need. GRRRRRRRRRRR!
Will have to pick myself up and hope it was only a temporary blip.

I did pretty well over Thanksgiving, and took a walk after dinner (on the beach) to work some calories off. I ate more turkey than sides, since it is so much healthier.
The scale did show a tiny bit of an uptick - by a pound, but I didn't eat that much, so I expect it will be back to 169 in the next day or so. I went for a little longer walk this morning, with a few spurts of jogging. I will have a great opportunity for walking/exercise for about a week coming up later this week - I expect to give my metabolism a boost during that time, and I'm looking forward to it.
Okay, shall we all just ignore our scales this morning? Mine shows me back to my starting weight! Although I'll admit to missing a few days walking due to hip pain, and a bit of social eating over the weekend, I also know there is NO WAY that I ate 16,000 excess calories over the last week!!! So I trust that things will look better at next week's weigh-in, if I just recommit today to my diet and exercise plan.
I don't mind looking at the scale, I know I've done really well and I had to even get rid of my favorite pair of jeans because they keep falling down (not all the way, but I like to have them sit on my hips, not down my hips). When I first bought those jeans, they didn't fit me at all - i.e., I was too fat for them. I remember being so excited when they first could fit, and now they are too loose. How awful,right?
I wore a different pair of jeans to T-giving, one that my mom had passed to me a couple of years ago, and didn't fit me at that time. I got a couple of compliments about my weight on T-giving. But more than the weight itself, I feel really healthy with my exercise and eating - and that is definitely the most important thing. That other 30 pounds off would be nice, though, and it's coming off slowly. I would love to have thighs that don't shake so much when I walk.
Thanks LivnLearn! I went to the doctors a while ago for asthma tests, and they checked my blood pressure (90/60) and I had a good oxygen level, like 99%. When the scale doesn't budge, good health numbers make me as happy (or more happy).
I've been thinking for quite some time about eventually becoming a personal trainer. I finally am contacting the Y to see what their qualifications would be. I don't want to do a diploma mill type thing, I really want to be great at it.
I don't plan to jump right in, but at least to get the information I need to get started sometime next year, likely. I really enjoy talking fitness, and helping others - it's something I am passionate about. So, we'll see!
