Sunday afternoon. Been busy today. Made a garlicky white bean soup that was delicious. Sorted through the pantry shelves to get rid of outdated items, put a few things aside to donate, did the same with the chest freezer, loaded up MORE trash for the dump in the car to take care of tomorrow on my way to work, juiced this morning, did an hour of clinical supervision by phone ... I'm tired!
Haven't felt as good today. Started sneezing in the wee hours of the morning. I feel like my cold is trying to return. Oh well. Can't feel great everyday, right? Scale was an even 213 this morning. Down .2 lbs. I'm not far from being in the single digits on my way back below 200. Looking forward to continued losses on the scale. Starting to feel differently in my body too. The silliest things feel different, my legs (easier to cross and pull up in the chair)' my feet, my wrists.
Enjoyed a chat on Facebook with Stephanie. She's not been around here for a while and I really miss her. It was so nice to talk for just a bit. Over the years I've made some friendships here. They extend beyond weight loss talk. Even though I've not met any of them face to face they ( you all know who you are) have become woven into the fabric of my life. Who would have thunk it ... Not me!
Plans for the rest of Sunday are kicking back and relaxing. The week to come is busy enough. My last week with Mom. She heads down to California for a few months this Saturday. It's a gray and overcast day here. Some light snow and downright dreary.
Grateful today for ...
The friendships I've made here on Fatsecret. Getting things cleaned up and organized at home, one little step at a time. Mom getting home safely from her visit with friends, negotiating the drive with few challenges Weekends. Oh how I love weekends. My iPad which means I can lay in bed and write this journal!
Taking care of myself by remembering to be grateful, practicing kindness towards myself and reminding myself frequently that this is a journey, not a destination. Hope y'all are well and taking care of yourselves too!

What a wonderful journal, Mad! You sound positive and your head is on straight... and your soup sounds divine! I really know what you mean about the friendships we have developed here on FS. I miss Stephanie too. I hope she is doing okay. I am glad we are all connected on FS as I see her posts and it's nice to keep in touch that way too even though we aren't talking. It is a journey and we have each other to keep company and to share with along the way. Hugs!

Morning Carol, hope your cold doesn't blossom and that today is an awesome day for you. I recorded a journal entry, thanks for telling me you miss me. I miss Steph too she has been gone a while, I know she is struggling with lots of personal issues. Wish her world was easier but that's not her path right now. Sigh. All His plans will be revealed in time I suppose but sometimes its hard to put that one foot in front of the other. Hopefully catch you around sometime this week :)
