My mother is wearing me out!!! I took her to the grocery store and bank on Tuesday. Wednesday morning, when I'm dealing with the septic tank guy, Mom phones and asks me to take her to the bank. She said she had just gotten a check in the mail and wanted to deposit it. I tell her that I can't but I will get her to the bank by the end of the week. Today I took her to the bank. Afterwards I asked if she wanted to go grocery shopping - she said she did not. I took her instead to a discount store. Afterwards, at her house, she was talking to my brother on the phone. I hear her make plans with him to eat out. As I'm leaving she hangs up the phone & then said to me, "What I"m telling YOU is that I need to go grocery shopping." What the heck? I had just offered to take her - she had refused & now she's demanding to go. She didn't want to go today though - but tomorrow. I really can't take her out every single day. We had it worked out where I take her out two times a week and my brother takes her out 2 times a week. - Apparently, its not enough!
Oh Well, enough of my complaining....now I feel bad... but not bad enough to delete it...
The dr on Oprah said if you can cut 100 calories a day you can lose weight. If you cut too many calories you'll mess up your metabolism. Ok thats for me - I should be able to subtract 100 calories a day, but NOT when my neighbor brings over a Greek pizza to help watch me watch Oprah! Can you believe we watched a weightloss show while eating?!? The show was supermotivating. One lady weighed 165 and I think she lost 25lbs in 4 mos. She went from a 14 to an 8. Thats exactly what I want to do! I've tivoed it so I'm going to rewatch it. The same dr will be on Discovery Health tomorrow night with an hour long program.
Amy, you're right - the choc almonds were gone & I bought MORE!!
(I use this clippie alot more than the others for some reason.) I was hoping you wouldn't notice! Dh could take the Halloween candy to work but since he's self employed it wouldn't get very far. I see that you did a great job of deleting your candy files. Wow, your kids did awesome - 76 pieces of candy for just one kid - I'm impressed. Seriously, thanks for your support and I will get back on track.
Anna, dh really made me mad last night. I asked him to get out the candy because our older son and his wife were over. Our younger son was also home and I thought that it would be a great time to get rid of some of the candy. Dh about had a fit - he wanted to save it for HIMSELF!!!
However, I shouldn't tease him because he's 165 and thats pretty good for 5'10". Yikes! I better watch it or I'll end up weighing more than he does! Now thats motivation. And I'm a bad influence because my daughter in law brought over fresh fruit for us to snack on and I get out the Halloween candy.
There I am with the guilty siggie again!
