Girl I am 6 pounds behind you and we can do this all the way!

Hello Bellaryna, I am sorry to hear about your friend's passing, I just had a relative pass away at the beginning of this week. My heart goes out to you.

I've only been to one baseball game in my life, I must've been about 6, we had hotdogs & peanuts. Now our city no longer has a baseball team, er we do but it's not the big leagues. Your trip looked like you had a total blast!!

Vanilla Custard ice Cream...hmm.. different. Have you ever tried Green Tea Ice Cream?, that stuff is also rather interesting.... I really like cherry chocolate chunk. Yum.

Wow, this is great! I'm sorry to hear about your friend passing.

I'm glad other things are going well.

I have tried green tea ice cream, but it wasn't for me. Now the vanilla custard, it's delish!

Cherry chocolate chunk sounds yummy.

Thanks for the link, sis.

I am saying prayers, you know that. Luv ya!

Wow was yesterday a mixed up day emotionally.
I would go from one extreme to the other.
I didn't eat well. Not that I ate badly just didn't do it in proper form.
I skipped breakfast all together.
Didn't eat until noon and then I over ate 'cuz I was so hungry.
Then since I didn't feel hungry I didn't pack any lunch for work. Though I did have 3 Fiber One chewy bars in the car. I ended up eating those instead of a real meal.
They were giving us Rootbeer Floats at work for something good we did last week.
At first I wasn't going to have one but when I am tired and have started my day out badly when it comes to eating I generally continue the trend thru-out the rest of the day.
So yeppers I had a float. Only 1 scoop of ice cream but one whole can of rootbeer.
I haven't had anything that sweet in a looooooong time.
I did grab a large chili from Wendy's somewhere along the way.
So you can see.........not such a good day.
Yesterday when I got up I had a new low of 204.8, which was a .6 drop.
Today the scale said I weighed 206.6, which I know is not true.
As well as eating badly yesterday I also didn't drink any water. Bad, bad, bad!
So though the scale was up today I know it isn't a true weight gain.
'Cuz even though I ate badly I certainly did not overeat enough calories to warrent a 2 pound gain. So hopefully tomorrow's weigh in will reflect better.

I also found out I won't be able to compete in the 5k in June. The start time is at 7:15 in the morning and they won't give out any of the participant packets until the night before.
Since I work the shift that I do that will make it nearly impossible for me.
So I am looking around to see what other kind of opportunites are in my area.
Though I had better get back to the program of running if I hope to be in one of these races. lol
There is always Monday.

Update on my birthdaughter-
She has invited me to come to her Graduation Party in June. I told her I wouldn't miss it for the world.
I really would like to see her before then but I am leaving that all up to her. I don't want her to feel overwhelmed by the whole situation.

Hey Bella! I think we alllll do the same.. one bad choice makes a trend for the rest of the day. BUT today IS a new day. Im totally starving right now! I just got to work and im only here for 4 hours but all I have is 2 apples!!! I could eat a cow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think your weight will taper back down. Maybe salt?? I know that chili is loaded. Dang, that sounds good right now too..

That is some amazing news about your birth daughter.. I havent read in your prev posts about her.. but WOW.. sounds great. Baby steps, ya know.

Sorry to hear about your friend at church.. but praise God because we KNOW that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.. AMEN to that! Still very sad I know. So my thoughts and prayers are definately with you.

Hey you

Thanx for being in my diary and being such an awesome support

Im sorry I havent been by lately. I havent even been in my diary, just a bit pre occupied and a bit crazy busy lately.

Ive still being doing all i need to do and such.

Im sorry for all that has been going onLosing a friend is hard and sucks

But you have alot of good going on too

I will be back soon!

Well this always happens. At least lately it does. I do well for about 2-3 weeks and then I start to slip up.
I was doing really well up until last Friday (the day I found out about Marcia) when I didn't eat breakfast. I ended up not eating until nearly 12 noon.
Between the wonderful news of my birthdaughter contacting me and the sad news of my friend losing her battle with cancer I have been on an emotional roller coaster for the better part of 4 days.
And with that came all those old comfort food issues.
I know all I need to do is just get right back to it but saying it and doing it are 2 very different things.
Tomorrow is the funeral and I am hoping that once that is behind me I will be able to get back into the swing of things. Right now I don't even feel like running let alone exercising. Just don't have the heart for it. And even if I wanted to hubby is up at the church with Marcia's family so there is no one to watch the kids.
So like I said hopefully after tomorrow I will feel better able to get back into the game.

I'm sorry you've hit a hard place in your life! Just remember, you are superwoman!

You can get right back up and continue on. I'm sorry about the loss of your friend. I'm sure the funeral will be beautiful. Keep your chin up!

it always seems for me that when something good happens in my life, something bad comes along with it...which seems to be the case here too, unfortunately.

i'm happy to hear about you talking to your birth daughter and the invitation to her graduation party in june. that's so exciting...i'm excited for you--i bet june can't come soon enough!!

on the other hand, i'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. you're in my thoughts and prayers.

once all the commotion and the funeral is behind you, i'm positive you'll be able to get back on track. we all have a little set back every now and then. like kimmy said, you are superwoman...so dig out that cape!!

Thanks for poppin' in today and giving me some love. I sure need/ed it. I know the funeral will be beautiful. Since Marcia was fully aware that she was dying she helped to plan the whole thing. *sniff*
The hard thing is I haven't let myself cry yet. So I know tomorrow I am going to be bawling buckets! *note to self to not forget the kleenex's*
I'm sure I will find that cape lying around here somewhere. Most likely under a large pile of clothes! hahaha
I too think that I will have no problem getting back on track after tomorrow. Just for now I need to put all my energy into helping Marcia's family.
Sometimes our priorities need to be rearranged, even if only for a few days.
Thanks again girls.
I really appreciate the uplifting and encouraging thoughts.

I got to talk/chat with my birthdaughter again.
It sounds like her parents have raised her well. She seems to be a very nice and caring young lady.
We decided that it would probably be best for us to meet before the Graduation Party. So I left it up to her and she decided that next Tuesday would be a good day for her. So I will be heading up into Michigan next week.
I will hopefully be able to visit with Kimberly aka BikiniBound and see that beautiful baby of hers during the day and then once school lets out (Laura only has 13 days left as of tomorrow) I will spend the rest of the evening with Laura.
I am soooo looking forward to seeing her.
The new avatar that I put up (me in the red shirt) was taken yesterday just before church. I wanted her to see an up to date picture of me.
It is funny because she looked at it and then proclaimed,
"You look like me. Especially now that I cut my hair short........or maybe rather I look like you!"
I got a real kick out of that.

i hope everything went well today.

Hi Dawn, dear.

So sorry to hear about Marcia's passing. How old is her daughter? I'm sure that she is looking down on you from heaven and is thrilled for you and Laura finally getting together.

It was great to talk to you on the phone this afternoon, and I can't wait to see you next week--and hear all about your afternoon with Laura.

Oh, and I'm loving the new avi! That is a great pic of you. I wish I was as photogenic as you.

And that sucks that the Whitecaps were the team that lost.
