I was a bad girl last night – we went out for Pizza at a place we haven’t been to since we got back from Mazatlan in May. They have such yummy pizza and if it is your birthday, the send you a coupon for a free pizza. And I wanted a Pizza so we went. :) It was nice to go as we know most of the waitresses there and it was like a home coming and all of them noticed the changes in my body and kept telling me how good I look. BF just looked at me and said “see I’ve been telling you this all along”. Me of course said “but they/you don’t see the number on the scale” so I don’t notice the changes as much.
That scale can be so demoralizing, so hard on your focus. I have let it control my own personal self impression for way too long. But it was nice to get those compliments last night and all from ladies who truly meant them and weren’t being “catty”.
Today is a weird day for me all around for several reasons. One is the date – I hate this date along with millions of Americans only my reason is purely selfish. I buried my mother on this date, 8 years ago and although I fully sympathize with all of America and the World for their loss on this date 8 years ago, mine was close to me and it totally sucked that it was the same day because for every year since, it has been a yearly reminder. Kind of selfish aren't I? If any of you have lost loves ones due to that terrible day, my thoughts are with you and I do apologize for thinking about only myself and my family during that time.
And then today of all days, my company has laid off several folks in my department and today is
their last day. We are going out for lunch (to a Pizza place of all places) and it will be kind of sad to say good-bye. However, most that are leaving feel more sorry for us that are left than about themselves. My team alone went from 13 to 5 people and the darn workload isn’t any less…. Interesting times ahead I say…..
So enough blah blah mood - I'm off camping again for the weekend and although I can't physically do much because of the state of my hip, I am planning on walking the dog and doing lots of stretches (if I can) to start the regaining flexibility process. I went to my regular Chiro yesterday and although I like the "bed side manner" of the young lady that treated me on Tues/Weds, my normal guy is much more aggressive and I actually felt some relief last night. It is short lived but it is a step forward. I think I'll have to stick with him through this until we can get my hips to release.
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend, make good choices and I'll catch up with you on Monday!

I hope you have a good weekend camping trip, even with your hip.
ReplyDeleteThe scale can be demoralizing sometimes. I know exactly what you mean when you say that. It's great that people notice the change in you. That's got to make you feel great!
