A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song! - Maya Angelou

We ended up going to the casino last night to escape the heat and of course empty our wallets!! We did have fun ... but of course I ended up eating more than I would have on a typical day. Oh well.

Good news!!! Bob and I were able to chat in the car on the way to the casino and now I understand his concern about my 175 goal. In the past I have had a tendency to "beat up" on myself. He was concerned that if I did not reach 175 or was not able to maintain at that weight that I would think that I had failed! His concern has been about supporting me to feel good about where I am ... not a way to keep me from making more progress. WOW. I would have not guessed that in a zillion years. I was totally mis-reading his comments. So we talked about my goal and I reassured him that I have no plans to do anything drastic simply just to get my numbers down. That actually I am looking at maintaining within a "range" not at a specific number and that I trust, if I continue to do what I have been doing that my body will naturally find a weight that works for me. We even discussed the possibility that I might go below 175 ... and he was okay with that.

I have to brag about my mother today, judibird here on fatsecret. Today she turned BLUE!!! She is just a few pounds from her fatsecret goal and has done so well!! She is so excited ... feeling positive about herself ... and my goodness ... she's a mere shadow of her former physical self!! I am so VERY PROUD of her. As I commented on her journal ... she is living proof that one is never "too old" or "too sedentary" to make changes!! She ROCKS!!!!

It is after noon and I've done some ironing and now it is time to sweat!! A little slower start to this Sunday as we didn't arrive home until the wee hours of this morning!! So time for my elliptical ... and finishing up Smart People ... a movie I'm still not sure if I like but I have it here from Netflix ... I might as well finish watching it!!

Thanks so much for all the great feedback and comments on my journal yesterday!! I never expected so many!! I LOVE this community!! I LOVE not feeling so alone and isolated in my journey. You all ROCK!!!!

I have heard and read therapists say couples cannot read one another's minds and should never assume they know what the other is thinking. Which is good and true advice. You and Bob had a chance to really talk about your weight loss efforts and he is now comfortable with how much you lose regardless what it is. Now you do not have to worry anymore about how you think he is feeling about it. What a relief that must be. I am also running slow today and need to get upstairs to the treadmill. Have fun on your elliptical.

Thanks for telling us about the Blue-judibird of Happiness! :) Congratulations judibird! I am so happy that you and your hubby had a meeting of the minds. In-synch communication is not always easy - but so rewarding when it happens! Glad you had a good time at the casino (except for the empty-wallet part)!

Aren't you glad you and your spouse had that little car chat! Aren't car chats the best! Lots of good things have happened in the car - have they not? Yes. My ambiguity is deliberate! Congratulations for becoming a member of - yes - you said it - THE BLUE MAN GROUP! Ta da! You are soooooooo there - Kid!

You are so lucky to have a supportive spouse. It is so important to feel that we are not alone in our goals. Congrats to your Mom that is wonderful for her. Sorry youdidn't win at the casino. I live a few minutes from the casino but I have to stay away from that place....but it sure is fun. Glad you enjoyed yourself and have fun sweating.
