just got home from my reunion- on top of having a thanksgiving dinner earlier, this was a loooong day! i just have to say that for the first time in about 15 years i actually feel like i looked NICE all dressed up- i didn't feel fat! i had a number of people tell me that i looked great and hadn't changed a bit since high school- given that i weighed 133# then, i took that as a compliment....
i did get pretty tired during the day today and ended up taking some ritalin in the afternoon, but my energy held up quite well tonight. and i want to say thanks so much for all of you who prayed for my energy today. the event was not organized as well as it could have been which was frustrating when it came to some things, but overall i had a great time. time to try and wind down- have to get up in 6 hrs! -m
I saw my youngest brother last night and he kept saying, "You look freaking unbelievable!" LOL He kept saying I looked 20 years younger as well. THAT was nice to hear too. :-) Colleen
finally back home tonight- and royally tired! another big week coming up with new carpet going down on the entire first floor- i have to move all the small stuff and light furniture myself, as well as get everything off all the closet floors and put away anything that is breakable. should be an interesting few days. then time to get out all the christmas stuff- don't you just love the holidaze? i feel like i could sleep for at least 3 days.
my weight is up, but not as bad as it could have been. i'm retaining a lot of water so i'm hoping a couple of high-protein days will limit the damage. if i could stabilize at 2-3# over my liw i'd be content.
i've been on the go pretty much the entire weekend, and can't get nearly enough water in when that happens. as it was, i had to stop 3x on the trip home just to use the bathroom!
