While I was in Vegas I bought this key chain for a coworker.
I’m really scared to give this to her.
What if she doesn’t like?
What if she laughs?
What if she talks shit about it tomorrow?
But on the flip side….
What if she loves it?
What if it makes her really happy?
I’m still scared.
I think this kindness adventure is going to bring up a lot of emotion for me but it will be fun.
It’s probably going to push me out my comfort zone.
That scares me, too.
I’ll let you know how it goes tomorrow.
A couple of weeks ago I read about the Boys and Girls Club having September as Kindness month.
Every day you do one nice thing for someone.
I’m going to try this. It sounds random and fun.
I’ll tell you more about it tomorrow.
Got home from vacation around 3 am and now I am at work. Plane was late but it’s ok. We had a great time!!
Good morning from fabulous Las Vegas!
Below is the view from our hotel room at the Luxor.
My husband and I are spening a couple days here to celebrate our 13 years of marriage.
Yay us!
Have a great day!!
With toasted white bread that is.
My stomach hasn’t been feeling the best for the last couple of days. I think I have a stomach bug that is going around work.
White bread makes my stomach feel better so I have been eating it knowing full well that it is not good for my diabetes.
Not white bread but white hamburger buns that were leftover from our weekend at the trailer. Kind of the same just a different shape.
I love white bread. It’s a comfort food for me. If I had a bad day at work I would come home and have a piece or two with either just butter or butter and peanut butter on it.
And just the plain white bread. Piggly Wiggly white bread to be exact with Country Crock butter or Jiff peanut butter.
Picky aren’t I?
Lately I’ve been having it with butter on it.
I love white bread.
I love the way it tastes. I love how the butter soaks into the bread and I can taste the buttery flavor as soon as I bite into it. I live the way it smells. I love the way it looks as it waits for me to eat it.
I just love it.
But my cheating must come to an end.
My stomach isn’t better today but the white buns are gone and I’m not buying anymore.
I’m not going to lie. I’ve been cheating for a month or so but not every day. I hide a loaf where my husband can’t see it and eat it when I come home from work. Work has been stressful lately and that makes me feel better.
I need to learn how to deal with my work stress better. Without food. Without white bread.
This last week has helped me realize this.
Sometimes I feel guilty that I hide it. Almost like a alcoholic hiding a bottle of vodka. Sneaky.
Is there a 12 step group for white bread addiction?
I will still eat it occasionally at a restuarant or a party. I won’t give it up totally.
But for now I have to stop buying and eating it at home.
So good bye white bread.
I love you and will always lust after you.
I almost forgot to post today!
Mr. Tomato has one red cherry tomato.
I think I’m going to eat it tomorrow !
I don’t have a post for today.
I’m tired and crabby.
Work sucks because there is no work. I hate trying make 3 hours if work last 8. It’s mentally draining
My husband and I are fighting.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
My husband and I were at a small town hardware store last weekend.
I love small town stores. They have so many unique things to look at.
Usually I wander around the store while my husband shops. Today he was looking for an inner tube for my grandson’s bike.
While wandering I found this unique display of springs in a corner of the store.
Wow! I had no idea there were so many different kinds and sizes of springs.
I definately learned something new today.
I doubt if I will ever need a spring but at least I know where to go if I do. Lol
I didn’t toss my calendar pages.
I kept them.
I’m hoping to learn something.
I think I am looking for something in the words on the pages. The problem is that I don’t know what that something is.
After thinking about this for awhile I came up with a list if my my why’s. They are as follows:
Hope
Motivation
Inspiration
A solution to my problem(s).
A road map to help me get to where I want to be.
What I have been doing is reading 20 or 30 pages at a time and saving what speaks to me and tossing the rest.
Within the pages I think I’m looking for certain words or feelings. Maybe a pattern of something.
Or maybe I have no clue of what I am looking for at all.
I’ll let you know what I have found in an upcoming post.
I’m so happy with how big Mr. Tomato has grown.
He is wilty. I haven’t watered him as much as I should. Sometimes I forget after work.
Every day he grows bigger and bigger and the babies grow bigger and bigger and that makes me happy.
Its a good day!
Every Friday at work I weigh myself and write my weight down on a piece of paper. I’ve seen my weight go up, stay the same and sometimes go down.
Actually it went down a bit.
Last night at work I was showing my coworker my weight loss numbers and after she walked away I looked at the date I started.
July 22, 2021!
A whole year.
Wow!
It’s been a rollercoaster with more ups than downs. It was tough to learn I had diabetes. It was tough to give up white bread and pepsi but I made it through.
I lost 40 pounds in the last year.
From to 205 pounds to 165 pounds!
Yay me!!!
I took pictures of my weight loss numbers.
I’m really proud of myself. I’ve come a long way in the last year.
I look better. I feel better.
Life is good!
