So many things

Well it's another Monday and I still haven't made my Friday blog post...busy, busy!  I'd planned on getting it posted today (and might just have to switch my posting day to Monday and maybe Wednesday or Thursday, but then today took a turn again.

My aunt passed away on Saturday evening and since she lives in another province (an 18-hour drive), there were all sorts of details regarding attending her funeral.  Long story short, after making arrangements with my husband's work and a few of my own obligations here, doing some shopping for the trip and sorting through some jobs here, the family decided to not hold a funeral!  I'd sort of gone over the scenarios in my mind, didn't sleep much last night due to all of the plans floating through my head, being anxious about the costs of such an unplanned trip -- and here I sit with all that planning not going ahead!  Oh well.  I'm okay with it.

So I'm back into my "regularly-scheduled-programming" except for a few extra emails to and from my cousins and needing to purchase some sympathy cards to send their way.

I'm happy to say that I DIDN'T EAT MY ANXIETIES! :)  I was tempted, but I kept on track.  Another non-scale victory!

I'm annoyed that I still can't upload new pics to my blog ... anyone else have this issue?

We lost all of our snow over the weekend and oh, our weekend weather was heavenly! It felt like SPRING!  We slept with the windows opened a crack and the air smelled so great... The only thing that didn't sound like spring was the absence of all the spring birds.

Of course the lack of snow = clear roads and sidewalks for walking!  Yah.  I took some pics this morning on my phone but I can't post them - BLOGGER YOU ANNOY ME RIGHT NOW!

Weight.  Well, it's not good.  I lost my oomph last week - it all happened when I stepped on the scale mid-week and thought I'd see a better number but saw a worse number (TOM was the issue).  THEN I began to think "who cares?" and I started to eat CHOCOLATE CHIPS, even though my conscience was telling me that chocolate chips are NOT the answer.  Ever. 

BUT I got back on track over the weekend - but not early enough to salvage my official TOPS WI.  Today I weighed 200.8.  Not good, but moving ahead...yet again!

Last time I couldn't upload photo's I went to Picasa and found out I was at my limit and had to pay for more space. Just a thought.
So sorry to hear about your Aunt.
Good for you on not over eating during your stress.

I found out that my Picasa Web Albumn was full also. I didn't pay for more space. I deleted everything and restarted. Lol Good thought, Suzi! Wow about the aunt situation. :/ Great job not eating the stress away, though! Chocolate chips are cruel things to have around, I know personally! LOL

I am sorry for your loss. We have had two in our circle of friends just this year. Yesterday, I learned of another friend that has been put in hospice.

Congratulations on not eating those issues, now if you could just conquer the scales. Don't let them control you. Even as I say that I know I've done the exact same thing a million times. We'll try together, OK?

You're almost in ONEderland. That will be a great feeling.

Oh Dawn, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm very proud of you though for not eating through the stress.

Glad the snow is gone and you can enjoy your walks.

Hang in there girl, wait...you always do!!!
