Life Marches On

Mar 07, 2009

This week Jamie's children have birthdays to mark.  I brought over presents and got to spend some time with her son.  He turned 4 years old this week.  He is such a living doll and definitely has Jamie's warm smile in his eyes.  He asked me if I had heard what happened to his mom.  I told him yes, but we didn't talk about it.  It's so sad that he is so young and won't have many memories of her.  Patti is still struggling, but that is to be expected of course.  I have so many good, caring people around me.....it's amazing and I really am thankful.

The scale has NOT loved me this week.....I went back up to almost 182 but was back down to 180 this morning.  UGH.  I am pretty sure that I am PMSing, as I am craving food a lot right now.  I have TRIED to be good, but that doesn't always happen.  I am also wondering if it's finally time for a SMALL fill.  I am still not able to eat a huge amount of food at one time, but I have noticed that I am not having to take very small bites and not having to chew as much lately.  I think I will monitor and see after my period if my band might need a little tweaking.  

A co-worker who has been trying to lose weight was keeping a log of our weights and measurements.  She was doing this while she was PREGNANT.  LOL  Anyway, she is back from maternity leave and wanted to know if I wanted to put down my latest numbers.  I agreed and when I looked at her log my last entry was from September.  I weighed in at 195 back then and when I measured I have lost 2 inches in my arms and waist since that time.  I am averaging a steady 5 lb a month weight loss.  I can live with that.  If that continues then I WILL be at goal by July some time.  That will be great!!!
