Back From New York

I'm baaaaack,I had fun, did you?

Got back really late last night, so I was basically packing your cooler while half asleep this morning, then went right back to bed when R took it to ups. It should be there Friday at the latest.

The below list may or may not be complete. I thought I put in a Thanksgiving dinner but didn't see it in Randy's list (he writes while I pack, then I type up his list & include in cooler). Now that I am awake, I can't find his list anywhere.

Did you get the package of dry goods with the green stuff?

News Flash!!!!! Do not EVER take Beano. I took it before my flight to avoid problems on the long plane ride...didn't sh... for a complete week. Usually I gain 10 lbs on my "New York Eat 'till I Bust" trip, but I'm sure it was more this year. Will never take that again/

Love S


Hey,
Are you there? Did you have a wonderful time in NYC? Gain lots??????

I gained 2 lbs. Most of it was on the trip back (eating to keep awake) and after I got back. I was very depressed and have been comforting myself with food.

xxx.x this am.

I'm feeling better now and will get back on the routine.

Can we change the time we talk? To 6:00 pm????? I'm almost always home at that time and it's just befofre you go to bed right??? I'd still weigh in the am when I get up and report that weight to you and what I had to eat that day.

Can we try that time for a while and see how it does? I'll sign on at 6:00 pm tonight to see if you're there.

Signing off now.

Love B.



6 your time is ok for me. See you tonight then.

It looks like you've hit a plateau. It's time you start exercising for real...not just walking. You will not make it if you don't

Am going to the grocery store to weigh myself. Then I will be dieting and exercising along with you until I get off my 'trip' weight'

Love S



Hey,
I'm not better emotionally. Really lonely. while the visit wit C was good, I'm really missing the girls and my friends in Calif. I went riding all day yesterday to de-depress and felt better this am but not now. I'm going to S this afternoon and into the night. So I won't be here at 6:00 pm for our first chat. You can call me on my cell phone if I get coverage over there.

I haven't hit a plateau, I'm really not eating well. I can't start exercising for real. I discovered at C's that the damn doc didn't fix my knee. I walked 2 miles, some down hill, with C and it's hurting again. I'm so mad at him I could sue or kill. I'm going back to the doc in PA that I really liked first but I chose the one in F because it was more convenient and he had done a friend's knee.

There's plenty to do around the yard and house for work and fun but I just don't feel like doing it. Haven't been like this in years. It's ironic - I get rid of Mom and now I'm lonely.

OK. I'm gone now. Call me if you want. I'm really in a bad mood tho'.

Love B.



go figure on the loneliness

don't know what to suggest then

S


Hey
I'm here. Didn't go to S. went to PA, had a cheeseburger and came home.

B


You are setting yourself up for more depression
S


Thanks for those encouraging words.
B


I am exhausted
S


OK. Just tell me you love me.

Love B.


I love you. I'll do better tomorrow
Love S


Hey,
Thanks. I'M DOING BETTER TODAY. When you said I was setting myself up for more depression I started tthinking about what I had eaten in the last several days. 6 Bit O Honey bars on the way back from C's over 2 days and then 6 (yes 6) more on Monday. Tuesday was the day I was the most depressed. It's amazing ! ! ! I was questioning everything ! ! ! this little hick town, did I want to live here, I needed a companion, etc, etc, etc. Although I did have a cheeseburger yesterday, I did not have any candy and today I feel much better. Will lots of sugar do that to you?

I have discovered that raisin bran cereal works better for me than prunes. I have had a bm everyday since 3 July, my first day at C's. As soon as I got back here I bought some. I either eat it for bkfst or as a night time snack before bed.

I'll see you tonight at 6:00.

Love B.


Yes, sugar can do that to you. It can really screw up your moods. Also you might me craving sweets for a week now.

Sorry, but my sleep pattern is really screwed up. I slept like a rock in NY. But I was doing a lot of walking in sunshine and had a set routine each night after a show. Sunshine does wonders for your metabolisim and sleep patterns. So I'm going to start doing that at home.

How is your knee? You know you can do upper body exercises as we discussed before.
See you tonight at 6 your time.

Love S


Hey
xxx today. Back to my old self today. Having meatloaf tonight.

Love B.



Well, that is good to hear.

Are you going to do upper body workouts? Whatever happened to the soup can shopping bag lifting?

Can we switch to 4:30 your time?

Going back to bed...existing on almost no sleep..

Love S



xxx this am. Hot here. I'm having a salad tonight.

The box just came. I'll wait to open until after we've finished. It's almost like xmas. Wonder what's inside this time?

Love B.


Whoa. Everything was thawed in this box. A few had ice crystals and all were cold but all were thawed. I just threw it all in the freezer. It will be OK I'm sure. This is about the last box anyway right? This box will take me down below 200.

Thanks,
Love B.



Yes, everything should be fine. I've got about 3 more months frozen. I wanted to get you to at least 160. That cooler is smaller, so there may not have been enough frozen mass to make the whole trip frozen. There should be about exactly 30 dalys of food for one.

Are you doing the upper body exercises?

You're back to not telling me anything about food, water, exercise, tea, etc. ecept weight.

Ok back to 9:30 your time

At least I know I will be awake at 12:30 my time :)) or should be

If you call and hang up after 2 rings, then I know I will be online at least within 3 min.

Love S



Yes I got the green stuff. Thank you very much. I'm going to use it for extra necessities & luxuries.

xxx.x this am. Can't understand it.

Bkfst: 1/2 pbj sandwich, coffee
Lunch: turkey, soy cheese, ff mayo sandwich.
Dinner: shrimp kabobs, brown rice. very good.
Snacks: cereal & yogurt
10 glasses water, 1 bm

I'm cutting the grass today so the exercise should do me good.

I did exercises this am:
10 leg lifts each leg
20 sit ups
10 wall push ups

I'll add to that every week.

Love B.



OK. I may be a little late some mornings when I walk with cat.



GOOOOOOD
Just keep focused and you'll get thru this

Just call lme and let it ring twice and then hang up
it will not cost you anything
if it rings 4 times i will pick up
that way we won't keep missing ea other

Love S
This time works best for m


xxx.4 this am. Shit or no shit yesterday I mean. Also, I slipped cutting grass and my knee and ankles are swollen. I have a sore throat. taking some Nyquil and excedrin and going back to bed.

Bkfst: yogurt & fruit
Lunch: 1 1/2 pbj
Dinner: rest of shsrimp kabobs w/extra shrimp
Snack: 2 pieces of cin toasts

Not enough water. Forgot to eat cereal yesterday. No bm. I'm eating cereal now and will go back to bed.

No I don't swing my arms. Our walk is a very very slow amble. Kathleen is much heavier han I am and has pulmonary problems. I go with her just to be with a friend and visit and talk. Maybe I'll start walking a brisk mile after I get home if my knee will allow it. My stomach and shoulders hurt from the exercises yesterday. I'll have to add some arm exercises because the pushups works my shoulders not my arms.

Bye for today.
Love B.
