Slipping into another hot day. Summer is definitely here, and has me longing for fall. I don’t like extreme weather, one way or the other. And right now, its the heat and humidity I’m not liking. But. I am blessed that I work in an airconditioned office (both places) and my home has decent air conditioning. So, I’m comfortable — and blessed, so should curtailed my whining here. I can’t believe, though, its almost the end of July. The days are whizzing by way too fast. School will be starting before we know it. And then it will be Christmas. We should start now, with Christmas shopping. But, it never seems to happen that way. I do know a few that are on top of their game and are gearing up to do Christmas shopping — yes — in July. Smart. People. I can’t seem to live beyond today. Just get through it. Physically. Emotionally. Spiritually. I’m working really hard again to stay focused on the weight loss program. I am ready to gear back up and seem some substantial losses here!

I didn’t do as bad as I expected with my weigh-in. I “only” gained 6 lbs from the last time I was there, which was a month or more ago. Knowing how “so-not-with-the-program” I was this past month.. and even beyond not being on the program, just some of the “I fell back into bad eating habits” from time to time … yes, I am counting my blessings here — it encourages me that I only have a short course to take to get back to where I was, instead of virtually having to start all over.

I’m not still not sure what David has decided. He did. not. make an appointment. The $350 for all the medical stuff and the initial appointment kinda stopped him in his tracks — even though he KNEW that going in there. So, he continues to raid my food supply, and we’ll see how he does this week. I’m not going to let him continue to eat my food supply and NOT be on board with them all the way, but maybe if he gets a taste of what its like to be on the program, he’ll understand the sensibility of being monitored medically very close by them. Either way though, he hasn’t brought home chips or pop like he normally does, so that is a good thing. I would still like for us to do this together; but I will honor his wishes and back off if he chooses not to. Its a personal decision, and not one for me to make for him.
