Onward and downward

Hallelujah! The scale moved and in the right direction for a change! Added chicken for dinner last night and got rice with goat cheese the night before, so it's no longer totally a bird food diet. Lyn-Genet and her able assistant Maggie are wonderfully responsive to questions, which is greatly appreciated. The Mr. said I look slimmer; I can't really see it but I do love that he said it. He's a smart man.

In other news ... one of my high school senior sons is flip-flopping like a hotcake on the griddle re: what kind of colleges he wants to apply to. It's exhausting and I'm trying to take a big step back and let him guide this ship from here on out.

Had a little chat with my stepson David who, as you may recall, is very social but doesn't really understand the boundaries of privacy. Complicated, because (despite this blog) I'm a pretty private person. David will tell anyone and everyone what's happening in our home -- when we go out, medical issues, new purchases, what I'm making for dinner. It's disconcerting when people I don't know repeat things about my life that they've learned through David. So, I told David that what happens in our home is only for those who live in it to know about. Fingers crossed that he "gets" it.

Until tomorrow, choose happy.

  1. Just found your blog by looking at Lyn-Genet info after a google search. I just finished day 4. It was nice to read of the thoughts of a fellow traveler on "the plan". I am down 2.9 for the 4 days and feel great. And, I actually made reference to eating like Big Bird after 2 days of seeds......I wish us both well! I hope you don't mind if I check in again..
