Camille! Leslie! How great to go to Sisterland and see posts from both of you.

Camille--Don't be "scared," sis. "Starting over on Monday" is, no doubt, putting it extremely. A few days of laxity definitely isn't a slip back to the beginning. Maybe it's not a slip at all. Maybe your body needed the joy of being with the double A's. 

Leslie, the bridge over the bay. How great that sounds to me. Wish I were walking it with you. In September, I hope!

As for me, I recall writing something like this 3 years ago--I still can't believe it's been 3 years. Who needs a scale when you have one inorganic breast side-by-side with an alive one? Not until they match, not until the "real" one shrinks, will I be where I want to be. (A big compensation for receiving a second cancer diagnosis and having 7 hours of surgery is that the reconstructive surgeon asked me if I'd like to change my breast size. That was a surprise. Didn't know I had a choice. The reconstructed breast won't be able to gain or lose weight, he told me. So I said, "Yes, B-cup, please.") 

The bulge of my upper stomach--the one above my waist-is my other "scale." Not until it's gone, will I be at the leanness I want. As for the lower stomach--the one below my waist? Hopeless. My stern teacher in acceptance. 

Kim? Hello? Are you there?

SCARED

So, it's Saturday night.  Both babies are sound asleep upstairs.  I have really been off my program since they arrived on Monday.  Taking them to the Ferry tomorrow to meet Ashley and Chris who are ferrying to Cape May to pick them up.  I WILL weigh in Monday morning.

Day 2 and feeling some momentum

So, my baa baa sheep post was really entered the other day but I did not publish it? I am off to another day walking the first bridge - going to go for twice today. Really looking forward to the Adirondacks and a road trip.
Keep up the good work sisters and thank you for continuing the blog. I cleaned out my files for the beginning of the year. It feels so good when I lighten the load. My closet could stand some help too!

Baaaaah Baaaah Baaaah!

Heading for the bridge in 15. I know I've claimed this before. I'm sure today is the day!

Still working on New Post technique

Hello, Sisters.  Hanging tough.  I re-read your post, Mignon, and yes, I did misunderstand. Clarification is always good.  Chasing after, playing with, lifting, pool and ocean swimming with Adelaide and Abe starting Monday morning. That's got to count for something extra, I hope, I hope, I hope.

Last Sunday, July 5, marked TWO MONTHS since I've been back on my lean & green path, which means two months off sugar. I've got to say, for reasons I don't understand, it's really going well. I keep thinking a craving, like the Alien with gnashing teeth, is going to burst out of me and take over. But not yet. Camille, I think you misunderstood my last blog about getting rid of clothes. It's a beyond-belief good thing. I've emptied 100 hangars and many other things that weren't on hangars. What I was trying to say is that I'm not only losing body weight, I'm losing the weight of too many clothes stuffed into more than one closet. My place is still not back in order since the painters were here and everything, I mean everything, got turned upside down. But it will be. Closets and shelves have been my starting point. Just finishing up my afternoon green drink now. I guess it's getting boring for you to read that over and over. It still surprises me.

I'm not just losing weight. I'm losing the clothes I've been holding onto for you-never-know-I-might-need-this-someday. My conservative guestimate of empty hangars in my near future is 100. A more exact number will be forthcoming.
