I was ridiculously tired!

I actually had to look at yesterday's post to make sure I didn't say anything ridiculous, at least not more riciculous than usual. I fell asleep 3 more times before I finally just hit "publish" and hoped for the best. I meant to tell you that I weighed in at the Y yesterday at 213 lbs, for a total loss of 81 lbs and 13 more to my next goal. I have a busy day planned today; good workout this morning, although my knee is still acting up a little since our beach walk. It still feels way better than it has for years though! I'm taking the van in this morning for a check on the electrical, getting a haircut at 12:30, walking with Jay, Anne and girls and then the girls are coming for a sleepover. I figured I better post now, unless I wanted a repeat of last night's ridiculousness. I continue to feel good having the shakes. Sometimes I have some broth or veggies and sometimes not. When I do, it's more because I want to actually eat something and not because I'm having cravings or am hungry. I have been finding that something crunchy really satisfies that need very well. Celery and cucumbers are my friends! I'm also settling into the process of becoming single. Changing a few things around the house is helping. It will be a long road, but I am determined not to blame either one of us and do my best to be kind. That's it for today, other than to wish each one of you a Happy New Year (especially Jay!) and safe festivities this evening, elly "Anyone who takes himself too seriously always runs the risk of looking ridiculous; anyone who can consistently laugh at himself does not."

  1. You snuck a very poignant little comment amongst that other routine stuff.--- "determined not to blame either one of us"!!!--- I think that is a tremendous condition to aspire to. How often, when things go differently than we expect, do we waffle back and forth between blaming others, and blaming ourselves, neither of which adds any value. Good on you Elly!! One of my favourite expressions is "the search for someone to blame will always be successful".
    Oh and the same from me to Jay. I well remember that New Years day!! ...38 years ago??

    Love
