scale was under the bed.... Speaking of Which


A new excuse for not weighing myself this morning? No, honest, it's the truth. The scale is not just under the bed, it is way under the bed which has a big dresser with a mirror attached to it pushed up against it. The guest room is being painted (no more yucky yellow), and so everything is in a state of total chaos here. But it's exciting. The master bath is almost done and looks so much better. This is fun, except for the mess. I think I will be able to get to the scale tomorrow morning so that will be my next adventure on the scale.

Speaking of which, I hope you all read the comments as well as my blog. Some of them are very witty, others very helpful and supportive, and others, let's say, challenging! Rarely have I not posted readers' comments. I did get one about the joys of viagra that I didn't bother to post ;). I do see them and read them and love getting them, so keep the comments coming.

Today I had breakfast with three of my good friends from my neighborhood, and we exchanged gifts. I have to admit I gave them candy, but none are on the weight loss adventure! One of my friends is the most wonderful baker, candy maker, extraordinare and, besides a Christmas cinnamon "flavored" candle for me, she gave me 3 bags of goodies designated for Jeff. I am not sure he is going to see any of it as I have decided, probably in my wisdumb, to regift and give them to the relatives that are coming for dinner next Wednesday. As I am writing this it is becoming clear to me that maybe I should let him make that decision. Maybe wisdom is reigning over wisdumb? And, today he brought home a copy of the Bocelli Christmas CD I had wanted. Yep, the decision is his, but I hope he hides it well if he keeps it.

Yesterday I threw out a bunch of sweets we'd received for Christmas. (Regifting was not an option.) I can't tell you how GOOD it feels to toss out thousands of calories!!

Dear Author susanlosingaweightlossadventure.blogspot.com !
I apologise, but, in my opinion, you are not right. Let's discuss. Write to me in PM, we will talk.

You will see my email address when you click on the comment form. I can't write you back because I can't see email addresses on any of the comments.

So, either write me at my email address or explain your disagreement with my most recent blog in the comment format. I would love to chat with you about it.

With you as inspiration I am now officially a member of your journey. I am too old to be fat. How about a drum roll and a little respect? I love throwing away calories but I usually throw them in my waiting maw. Onward and downward!

I think that other comment was Spam. I admire you for being able to throw out or not enjoy gifts. I have a terrible willpower problem. It's a miracle the chocolate Santas are still intact.

As one of the mentioned relatives arriving on Wednesday, let's just say re-gifting is not just a one-time option! :-) See you soon!
