The most fun I’ve had in the past couple of days is listening to a new CD and reading a new book. Yes, I know I live a sheltered life. So, I thought I’d share the things I’ve been enjoying.

The CD is the new one, “Waking Up,” by OneRepublic. OneRepublic is one of my favorite bands. It’s not my favorite -- that would be Matchbox Twenty -- but it’s up there on the list. In fact, I was lucky enough to see them in concert a couple of years ago. It was an incredible concert that not only [ ... ]

Unfortunately, my “Just Do It” plan didn’t go so well. In fact, I didn’t even make it through the next day. In fact, the whole weekend kind of went up in smoke.
BUT.
I DID do better than I had been. I did make some better choices. And I did get back on track the past two days. I even counted! And somehow it all payed off.
I LOST THREE POUNDS this week! Granted, I’m still way, way, way, way, way, way up from where I was, but it’s encouragement that I needed.
Lots of thoughts have been going through my head lately. I [ ... ]

I’ve taken a few pictures over the past couple of months that I wanted to share with you.
First, I took this pic at Wal-Mart. I love white tigers. I collect them. I think they’re beautiful. I want a kid so that I can put this on it. And I’m not normally into the whole dressing your kid up like animals when it’s not halloween thing. I thought about buying it and sticking it on a stuffed animal or something, but restrained myself. And yes, it has a tail!
My mom and I went to the botanical gardens a [ ... ]

I had a bit of a sad moment earlier when I was upgrading my WordPress and otherwise tweaking my blog a bit. I stumbled across my “Photos” page and forced myself to look at it. The sad part was when I saw my pics from my lowest weight. Ah, kind of depressing. But I know I can get there again.
I’ve been doing better the past few days. Been feeling a bit better physically (finally getting rid of the aftereffects of the swine flu). Been feeling a bit better mentally. So have been eating a bit better. No serious counting yet, [ ... ]

And a partridge in a pear tree. No seriously, I didn’t know what to name today’s post, so why not call it like it is?
First, the plus to my weight gain. Yes, there IS a plus to the fact that over the last year, I’ve regained 63 pounds!! ACK!! Seeing it in print like that is really scary. But it’s out there. We all know I’ve been struggling for a long time…and when you’ve been struggling for a long time and the weight keeps creeping up…well, it keeps creeping up.
So what in the world could be a good thing about [ ... ]

Thank you for all the get well wishes! They meant a lot!
As you can see, I am still alive! I made it through the swine flu. It took me about a week to get through the worst of it, but even now, a couple of weeks later, I’m still not feeling 100%. My cough is gradually disappearing – it’s practically nothing now – but I still get tired extremely easily and I’ve been fighting a sore throat this week. I have so much drainage (TMI, I know) in my throat that that might be the cause of the soreness. If [ ... ]
