Thursday Already

Well my good choices this week paid off, I'm back down to 211.6. So I lost exactly what I gained last week, 3.2 lbs. It feels good to be back to my low weight. Now to get moving down again, 199 here I come.

The TOPS meeting was good last night it was about exercise and how important it is. But we also talked about how a right balance of exercise and food is key too, both to maintenance and also losing weight.

Yesterday I was talking about feeling a bit down about not talking to my sisters and niece. I had sent an email to my niece, well last night she called. It was really good to talk to her, it's been several months. I felt like we cleared some stuff up that had been unsaid. I think it was probably good for both of us. Then her and my nephew (her brother) talked too and I'm sure that made both of them feel better. I almost called my sister after I talked to my niece but I thought one call in a day was enough lol. Maybe I'll call my sister tomorrow.

Today is my best friend's Birthday. I got to talk to her for a few minutes. She's in Ocean City, I'm envious. I miss having a beach vacation. I'm feeling kind of lonely for our long phone conversations too. We use to spend hours on the phone sometimes. We haven't seen each other since Christmas either so I would really like to see her soon too. I really need to put some work into real life friendships.

Next week is the TOPS IRD and I'm really going to make an effort to connect with some people. I think it will do me worlds of good to be around people in a social setting. Plus I think the workshops are going to be good too, very motivational.

Well I'm still having abdominal pain, what the heck? I just don't get it. Yesterday and today it came on me about a hour after eating my lunch and lasts all through the evening. But I don't have it in the morning. I keep wondering if it isn't related to eating a larger meal since lunch and dinner are my two larger meals. I do think it's muscle related but maybe having a fuller belly rubs on the muscles that are hurting or something. I don't know I'm reaching here, I just want to be back to normal again lol. Anyway, I sure hope it goes away soon. I really missed going to the gym tonight. I think that's part of my moodiness too.

Anyway, tomorrow is Friday and I'm looking forward to the weekend, it seemed like it came up super quick which was nice. Sad thing is the summer is flying by, before I know it the kids will be back in school and I'll be back to a busier schedule.

I'm a whiner tonight lol. Not sure what my deal is.

Well till tomorrow...
