I'm still here and surfing the forum, putting in my 2 cents when I can get a few minutes.

But it's planting season, time to open the camp up, work is kicking into high gear and lots of grad parties, weddings etc coming up.

So, I don't have nearly as much time to be on the computer as I used to.

7 more pounds till goal for me and I'm taking the time to exersize more to try and get there but it's going slow. Mostly because I've lost the dicipline needed to get there quickly but I keep trying. I get it back for a week and lose another pound then something comes up and I eat too much/too often or wrong foods. oh well, I keep trying. I'll get there one pound at a time.

I just wanted you all to know I have not abandoned you.
If you have any questions or I can help in some way, feel free to PM me.

Cheers,
Donna

Hey Donna,

I was just thinking about you and hoping it wasn't a toothache or some problem that was keeping you away.  I'm gonna take a bit of a break myself.  I'm on the other side of the world and i notice that lately i use OH to avoid any of the myriad of things i should be doing.  I'm irritating myself, i have to knuckle down. The universe just banged me upside the head to remind me. 

I dropped into the twenties and popped back into the 30's again, just because my body hates when I'm happy but I'm trying not to get invested.  Life is long it will take what it takes since I'm being a good girl.  Of course not getting the credit for being a good girl makes me want to be bad.  ****tail bad, which is the thing i miss most about this journey.  The food thing is a breeze but my social life is suffering and i love being social so i have to find a way.  Alcohol also has changed for me.  I don't get affected any differently, can still drink a ton but it kicks my ass, with sleep and headaches and hangovers (pretty new to me) even one will do it, so i have to see if i can find something i can live with but i think wine is in the past, which i hate.

Anyhow i know you love planting, so have a ball and slather on the sun screen, those seven little pounds will take care of themselves over the summer. 

The ****tails are what's holding me back too. If I could just stop being social for 1 week or 2...Oh well.

I am a BIG wine lover. But since the surgery I really have a hard time with the reds. Taste and how it sets in my stomach. Some are ok. But I've been leaning towards more whites lately.

I found my new favorite ****tail...A Cosmo martini! It's not too heavy, I make it with a little less vodka and a little more Gran Marnier than the recipies call for and a little more sugar free cranberry juice. AND it freaking PINK! Win - Win!

I've learned to pace myself with the ****tails because of the BAM affect they can have. Fast to get drunk and just as fast to get sober. Do that enough in a 5 hour period and you got yourself a hell of a headache. ( My liver probably has issues too but my head talks louder).

Hope all goes well with you and you get your **** done.

Cheers,
donna
