hi there lady!
I am also so very sad to read about the suicides among those young people in your area…it would have made me feel awful, too. I’m sure you do talk to A. about all that pressure she’s putting herself through. Hopefully as long as she is able to articulate her feelings about why she wants this, and can let off steam, she’ll be okay and the stronger for it.
Thank you for your kind comments on my blog - it’s nice to receive a kindness, and I needed it today!
As always, you do good work on the eating and exercising front - once in a while a splurge on choccy’s is allowed!

What a heart renching day for you ((hugs)). Sad stories like that really make you put things into perspective. Good thing you took the workout easier today with your calf, sometimes the body has to force us to slow down. Hope tomorrow is better

Careful with that calf, it can be a sign of a clot.
I am sorry about the kids, I see no reason for suicide, it is not the answer, but it is the heartache it leaves behind that angers me.
Watch that calf, and see a doctor….

so sad about those kids… it’s so complicated sometimes and yet it can also be so mindlessly simple.

poor a and the homework…. she has high expectations but she’s lucky to have you to fall back on. give her a bit of love when she needs it.

worried about the calf issue ms. soclose. weird… pulled muscle? if it doesn’t feel better you know you need to go to the MD.

please give A an extra tight hug from me for two reasons -
one that she has a mother who is so devoted to her
two that she is a loved child….

Hey I am getting caught up on blog-reading so I just read your past three entries… Welcome back! Good for you for “getting back on the horse” (really bad pun intended) with your weight loss plan. I think logging the food you eat is a really good idea - I fill out my fitday every day or I’d just be eating out of control, I know it!

“Making memories” - that was a cool way to define what kind of day it was… I love stuff like that!

Hugs,
Z

Okay, the horse thing is starting to scare me. Please be careful…I know you are, of course, but it sounds pretty intimidating you and A in the stall with that huge & hugely sad, I suspect, animal. Poor Rachel. I hope her owner steps up to the plate this week for a change.

So of course I want you to be here forever (very selfish), but every time I come to your site to catch up, I’m reminded that you’re a short-timer here. It might not seem like it to you, but that goal of yours really is within your reach. It is still so close! Geez! Look at all you accomplish in a week. Half the time I leave your site exhausted just from reading about all that you pack into the same 7 days I have…although, in all fairness, I think your days must have many, many more hours than mine. You can do this!

Okay girl, none of us wants to yo-you our way through life, so tell us what you’ve learned about losing those last pounds & about maintaining. What’s next? What’s the hardest thing about it that makes the “foreverness” suck so much? I hope to be soclose one day myself, so I’m hoping you can tell what it’s like to be there. If the path were clearly marked, I think we’d all be at goal and happily & easily maintaining. But it isn’t, so we need some pioneering souls to help us find the way & you know the terrain.

So, it’s back in the saddle for you…& when you’ve gotten to goal, we’ll all know better how to get there.

Don’t ever forget who you are. You are “Soooo Close!” I know it must be depressing to see those pounds slowly piling on but you’re right on track to catch it now and address it before it gets totally out of control. It really sucks that we have the genetics, metabolism, mind-set, or whatever the Hell it is that makes us have to be constantly on guard and it’s because you’re so dedicated that you remain “Soooo Close”. Stay on it!

(((Hugs!)))
