hateful scale
I finally got on it yesterday; this blog is now unofficially renamed “just 17 more”UGH!!! It’s depressing, if I lose 5 by the end of Nov. and I’m still 12 from the always evasive goal; but whatcha gonna do—gain 10 more in protest???—it’s fixed, I tell ya. OK I’m still on board for the 5 by the end of Nov. movement.
Yesterday we went to Lexington to a horse show–that’s a 4 to 5 hr. drive each way sharing the road with a huge bunch of Hokies heading to Blacksburg for the game……and I think some of them were celebrating a mite early. We didn’t have their company on the way back; I think we were a bit in front of them. Of course, THEN we had to contend with deer all over the interstate.
Anyway, food for yesterday was as follows: 1 pkt. oatmeal w/skim, V8, decaf tea w/skim………………snack (in car): 2/3 peach yogurt, 6 walnut haves, 1/2 piece string cheese……………lunch: Wendy’s–a single w/lettuce and tomato, sm. chili…………snack: almonds and a couple prunes…………dinner: Chik-Fil-A–sm. chicken noodle soup, 2 waffle fries……
Yesterday had almost no exercise with all the sitting; my pedometer registered only about 3,000 steps by the time I went to bed which is awful.
Today (Sun.) bfsk: 1 pkt. oatmeal w/ skim, V8, rinsed canned mandrin oranges, decaf tea w/skim…………..snack: f.f. cottage cheese, 1/2 multigrain wasa w/ peanut butter, 2 prunes…….
I’ve done 40 wall push-aways, 25 chair dips, 5 push-ups, and 25 sit-ups……………..will edit later to add rest of food and any more exercise
I had the strangest dream just before I got up this morning; I was driving through an intersection that I drive through frequently, my daughter was in the car w/ me, and partway through it the steering wheel came off in my hands. I was going slowly and threw the car in reverse and s-l-o-w-l-y backed in a curve till I hit another car with three VERY tall people in it 1 man and 2 women……the man was calling someone (police, tripple A, insurance????) when I woke up. How strange….and it was super real, one of those dreams that stays with you—the mood from it , anyway. Am I going to lose control of my life? or some aspect of it?—it’s just a myth that we have any real control anyway; it can all change in the blink of an eye.
Strange, chickadees, strange….

My first thought when reading your dream was about…control, or the feeling of losing it, and then of course, I read your comments about control. But the tall people? That’s interesting; wonder what they signify? Maybe your dream is a reminder for you to slow down (don’t know if you need to slow down, but most people seem to need to) and savour what you have? I believe (deeply, in fact) we, each of us, knows (on some level) exactly what’s going on, and what really needs to be done in our lives and, sometimes it comes through in our dreams?????
By the way, your exercises are inspiring.

Hon don’t worry about the weight - it’ll come off.
The driving dream is weird - it happens to me too - collisions that actually wake me up. I don’t think about it because if you focus on it too much you’ll freak yourself out. You know sometimes I have dreams where yogurt gets up and dances - so you know sometimes our brains go crazy.
