Monday

Okay I lost 1.4 lbs and I think it said I had lost total, to date, 4.5 lbs, but I lost more and gained half back so guess that don't count as a loss, right?

At least I am trying. I feel awful and only want to eat ice cream and soup. But I will eat the soup instead.

You girls are so funny. I am still using wt watcher on line. I think I need some more new scales. I bought some and they are 5 lbs over the old ones. It doesn't take much to confuse me. then kathryn wanted me to diet with her and her friend but I can't count the wt. I already lost so with them I've lost 3 lbs and with you all I have lost 14. And then It depends which scales I weighed on. Just kidding. Lets really do good this week. OK ? OK

Latest Confession

It has been at least a week since my last confession. I am not getting on the scale. What I don't know won't make me mad!! I have got to get back to eating like I used to.

Gene and I went to a "green" baby shower today for a dear friend. Lots of cloth diapers, glass baby bottles and no plastic. We were all given the go ahead to think ecologically minded~~shop at Goodwill, bring hand-me-downs, be creative and make your cards, wrap the presents in newspaper, give gift cards. So, I gave a used rocking chair a friend had given me (and Gene fixed) and I bought a huge cuddly bunny for $2.50 at the thrift store. I did my part to not make a big carbon footprint. Quite an interesting day. It didn't save me from eating all the great, fattening organic food so I am bloated like a toad. Back to the soups, no bread, no dairy (or cake) and lots of water.

I have worked myself tired several days in a row working on my new flower beds. I don't mind shoveling the dirt and planting but I have to give up the wheelbarrow hauling. If you are in the neighborhood come and see my pretty flowers.

Holley's coming so I have to get ready to try to keep up with her. She has been working out. I think I am in trouble.

Hello Lou-nies

Well, today was sort of bittersweet. As you know it would have been my 33rd Anniversary and I sure miss Bud. But I spent it with friends and we are going out again in a bit to eat dinner. Don't know what I would do without all my friends out here.

I think I may have lost this week, but don't weigh until Monday so will just have to see if I lost more than I gained last week. I think this is called Yo Yo dieting, right? Oh well, at least we are trying to hold our own and not gain too much and that is working.

Pat, I love you and am praying for you. Lou, have you heard anything back yet from your tests? I haven't heard a word on the oxygen monitor test they did. Guess I'll have to wait a week and the doctor will tell me about it.

Well, have a happy weekend.

Love,
Lydia

Saturday check in time

It's Saturday and I don't want to talk about weight-loss or weight-gain at all. Get me!!!! I talked to Pat this morning and she is doing so much better. I talked to John around 9:45 last night and he was a basket case. He sang me a long song while he was trying to keep Pat breathing. He would say, "Pat, please quit taking your mask off. Pat, breath now breath. I don't want you to have a stroke." Anyway I was glad to talk to Pat and know she is better. We did not get to start the WW diet yet, but this week will be the week. Love you all

This is to Norma

Norma, I commented on your blog about WW but I think I put it under Lou's blog instead of yours. So, go there to read it if it isn't under your blog.

Love,
Lydia

Here I am. I decided even if I am all puffed up with steroids, that is no reason not to blog. Now Pat is saying she didn't call me fatty, so who in the heck called me fatty? I still think it was Pat. I'll bet no one will admit to it though, am I right?

Today would have been mine and Bud's 33rd wedding anniversary. I just knew I would be depessed, but I swear this morning I was sound asleep and he said as clear as a bell, "Lydia Fay" and I woke myself up saying "what?" I think God let him do that so I wouldn't be depessed. It brightened my day and I feel at peace.

I am still on the steroids and still sick. So maybe I'll lose weight from just being sick and not feeling like eating. Does anyone believe that?

Well, I love all you guys.

Love,
Lyd
