Thanks
Thank-you all for your kind words, suggestions, and support yesterday when I was so terribly down. Yes, that was past tense. This am was still rocky but now (early evening) getting back to normal. I didn’t go to the gym today; took the day off–and slept again after getting A. to the bus.
Saw my gyn for pap today; the man (who delivered A., so you all know I’ve known him a long time) is cautiously pleased with me . That helped lift my spirits. I didn’t point out to him that I still weigh more than I did at 9 months pregnant. Quit while you’re ahead. He did say not to dare give up on the exercise and wasn’t as pleased as I thought he would be with the cholesterol results; apparently normal isn’t good enough; it’s TOO CLOSE to the upper limits of normal to suit him……pshaw!!!!! Well, it’s good enough for me. Had my blood drawn for the ca-125 and sched. the trans-vag ultrasound—yearly follow up stuff because mom took DES trying to get pg. So I’ll be going back in a few weeks.
Went to T. J. Maxx after appt. and before picking up A.; all the jeans left my butt hanging out and every dress I tried on had my boobs exploding like popcorn out the top—no thanks. Seemed terribly low cut, maybe it was the bra I had on. Did find a nice warm way, way marked down jacket for A., bought that. A miracle—she likes it!!!!
Food: bfsk: peach yogurt, walnuts, turkey, decaf tea w/skim…….lunch: 1/2 can tomato soup w/ skim, 1 hotdog (almost f.f.), 1piece whole wheat white bread, mustard……….dinner: end of the turkey shepherds pie, vanilla yogurt w/blueberries………….have a cantaloupe I may cut yet tonight
See ya’ll, chickadees! G’nite!

Glad to see that thingas are better. We all have those days babe. Just hang in there. Don’t feel bad…with the “Winter weight” Ihave gained back I am only 1 pound over my 9 month pregnancy weight with the last one. You wanna hear somthing sickening.. I am about 60 pounds over DS1’s 9th month pregnancy weight….I weighed 151 2 days before I had him…now that is depressing! (((HUGS)))

I am go glad to see that your spirits have lifted. I don’t try shopping for anything right now unless I HAVE to have it. I still don’t like the way things look. The only things I will buy are purses and shoes.
I too would be thrilled with the cholesterol results. Doctors - they are too serious some times!
Give yourself credit for the weight you have lost. You have done a fabulous job! Kudos to you!

Great to read that you’re feeling better. I know what you mean about it being a miracle that your daughter liked something 1) YOU found and 2) was marked down! That really is a miracle, judging by my own experiences. Me and the girls haven’t been on the same wavelength since their leggings were adorned with teddy bears.
Also, terrific about your cholesterol number being within the normal range. I think you are doing beautifully.

And don’t think it stops with finding things for your daughter instead of you! I went through that phase, and now it’s my daughter, her daughter, my other daughter(s), my other granddaughter, my two grandsons….auuurrrgh! I have to say that I really do well from the end of January right up to about now for bargains, though. I SHOULD do my Christmas shopping now, but never do. I’m worse than the kids when it comes to pulling out new stuff. If it’s new, I want to wear it (or see them wearing it). Also, one thing being old as dirt (me) has going for it is that your kids are finally old enough to appreciate your taste in clothes and furnishings. I remember well the teen and young adult years when anything I liked was “awful”. The feelins, of course, were mutual. I thought their choices were awful, too. Anyway, I’m delighted to see you feeling better…think spring! (I would, but we have a snow storm coming again tonight. This is just getting TOO ridiculous if you ask me - which obviously, nobody’s doing. Nobody who has any influence over the weather, anyway. Have a great weekend!

Your doc’s appointment makes me wince. Probably because I need to get my pap and stuff done. *shudder*
Clothes shopping can be a definite pain!
