Feeling down today?

I am, I think because I'm overwhelmed and busy with end-of-school-year stuff, my kids keep getting older and there's nothing I can do about that, and the scale is refusing to budge, denying me the right to say I now weigh what I weighed when I graduated from high school (damned scale). 

SO, join me, won't you, in making a list of GOOD things to try to break the grumpy mood!

• No matter what the scale says, I look much better than ever in my adult life. 
• Today another mom at school said she was going to nickname me "shrinky dink" because every time she sees me I am smaller. :)
• It is the last day of school!  Vacation is almost here!
• We are going to San Diego for an event this weekend, and it should be fun.
• My husband is home from a business trip, so we can firm up our vacation plans for later this summer.
• My housekeeper is coming tomorrow.  I get to have a housekeeper. 
• I am almost finished with week 3 of Zombie Couch to 5K.  Even though I'm not convinced I enjoy running, I do feel accomplished for sticking with it (and since I signed up for a 5K in Sept., I kind of have to).
• I cut out cheese for a week and it did not impact my weight loss, so I guess I can add it back in!
• I get a mom's night out tonight at a nail salon with great friends, and am trying gel nails for the first time.

Seriously, why am I grumpy.  All this stuff is awesome, and just because I'm busy and the scale is not cooperating I get all upset?  I will now go get a life!!

Post your NSVs, good things, etc. here!!!

Boy do I need this thread today.  I am super grumpy.

I now fit in my wedding rings for the first time in 7 or 8 years

My beautiful 18 year old daughter is graduating from hs Saturday, and got a really good summer job.

My middle daughter brought home a guy WHO HAS A JOB!!!   LOL

My hubby has lost so much weight since I had surgery that he has had to get all new clothes.

Half of  my town is without electric today, but we have electric at my house

I now wear 14 petite pants!!!

I didn't eat any of the cookies at work today.

Wow, you both have such nice lists of good things in your life!  I'll add a few.

My kids are grown and thriving.

My grand-kids are healthy.

Today I was able to eat 3 oz of protein at one meal - signaling the tummy is healing. I can  see the light at the end of the tunnel in terms of returning to normal eating.

It was a beautiful day here and I got to spend some time with my best friend. 

My exercise regimen is getting easier -  I'm getting stronger and healthier every day.  

Who could ask for anything more!
