Hello everyone! I'm in the middle of week 3 and I thought I better start one of these journals to keep myself in line. I tried to start one a few weeks ago and I screwed it up somehow so I'm starting over! Here's a little info on me. My name is Mary Rose, age 50. My husband and I are doing this together. We both have hit a 50 age crisis! Him more than myself. Ha! Sleep apnea, HBP, family diabetes, etc. I've had HBP for 23 years and I don't think that will change much. We had a major loss in our life 26 months ago when we lost our 20 year old son. He was in an auto accident and he died from injuries he sustained in that accident. I'd say we started the uncontrollable eating, eating out..I'm sure you know what I mean. SO..here we are. Thank God we're doing this together! It's so much easier. My goal is 54 lbs. and his 80 lbs. A NEW LIFE!
Memorial weekend was very hard on us. I did okay but it was hard! He didn't fair as well. He was the cook at our nephew's graduation party and you can only imagine how that went. He's been a snacker while he cooks from way back. He's definitely paying for it now. We weigh in tonight and he's not thinking it's going to go well. I don't think I've lost my 2 lbs but I don't think I've gained either. We'll see.
I'll be back because I've got a long way to go!!

Rough weekend, eating wise and emotionally.
hey, rosie! sorry it was such an emotional weekend, but sounds fitting given the circumstances. sounds like a beautiful service.
good for you hitting the treadmill this a.m. what a great way to offset those cookies. a few cookies don't stand a chance if you keep up your consistent exercise, mary rose.
you are an inspiration!

Mary Rose,
Hope take off is going well for you.
Glad you had a chance to be with your berevement group sounds like a nice service -- my sister's town does a memory tree and lighting.
Way to go on getting on the treadmill -- I agree Monday mornings are always a bit rough -- I was happy to get in a 15 min walk -- though on the weekend was able to make time for an hour each day.
Time to take the puppy for his before dinner walk -- then off to shopping mall -- would like to get
MARG
I Mel!
Good morning Marg!
How did the shopping go?
Completed TO...it's just not normal!
sorry you haven't seen results from TO yet. but sometimes it lags a little for many of us.
whoa, big car repairs you're facing there, too. bad time of year for such an expense, but unavoidable. ahhh, cars. can't live with 'em; can't live without 'em.
hope you're having a great wednesday despite the car troubles . .. .
