I bawled like a baby. Got sympathy card in mail yesterday from vet clinic. Called them today to thank them and see if she had returned from being cremated. Likely to have another round when I bring her home. When my Dad died there was some bawling and squalling but I was more pissed about him being taken like he was. Can laugh about it some now but if the trees at the cemetery and around my house could talk......I'd need an attorney!

Thank you Bob. I am doing well, better than I thought I might. I've had wonderful support from friends and family. I am also a Christian. I expected that I would be very angry at God by now, but I am not. I can truthfully say my faith has been getting me through each day.
I am going to write more about things in a separate thread, but it may be a bit before I have the time. I have your email. Thank you. Good for me that I got an email notification. For some reason I can't find your message here on the board anywhere.
In other news, my low weight the other day was not anomalous after all. I've dropped 6 lbs since Sunday. I was 266 lbs this morning. I am adding protein shakes back into my diet to keep from losing muscle mass.
I haven't had a lot of loss, but cried harder putting down my dog than anything else I can remember.
Thanks Bill, I appreciate it. But please take care of yourself first. I sent my email address via the friend request.

Bob, do not let it get the best of you. At the very least, find someone to talk to. Hell, talk to me. PM me. Anything. I'll give you my phone number. I just buried my Dad because he was depressed and would not talk about it. I'll deal with that forever. If I can help you or anyone else, it will help me too.
Bill

I am sorry to read about your dog. That is always a very hard thing for me. It is even harder when it is my dog.

I know what you mean John. It's hard to lose weight when there's so much stress, in ones life. I hope everything works out in the end. What is your goal weight exactly?
Last week: 186.4
This week: 187.0
Day late, Monday, and several dollars short.
Stress is common factor this week. Already have four reports to write when I get to office. Friday was a sum*****! Nothing like trying to run somebody's ID and get a reject message saying my certification to do so had expired. Unlike your driver's license no reminders that the certification(s) are no bueno. Got it worked out with Austin and have to retake an on-line test I failed Friday. Got past the other two but this one.
Did put my "baby girl" down last Monday. Was not getting any better and suspect she had a second stroke. Seventeen years with a peaceful end was a Hell of a run for a dog.
Nice gathering in Waco for a former member of the Texas OH board. She had died late last year so a lot of the former Texas board folks met in Waco for a memorial service, hang out, and get caught up. Regain is REAL!
Got to make like a banana and split!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!
320.2 to 316.0
-4.2 Feel good, not surprised, stayed on point Tue - Saturday with a diet of high protein, ~1,000 calories, and water or coffee only.
Sometimes we see what we look for, but yes, I'm seeing lots of stress. Testy customers, sick colleagues, busy friends and family.
Going to try to get some chores done today to help get in some activity and feel more organized/accomplished.
Have a great week!
