Light snow falling this morning ... unlikely that there will be any accumulation of the white stuff. Only woke up once at 2 am this morning which was nice. Another busy day ahead of me ... I've already seen one family and have three more lined up ... the last appointment an hour's drive away.
Overall ... I'm feeling okay. Celebrating my squishiness, reminding myself to stop comparing myself to others and be less concerned about the "number" so that it doesn't drive my feelings. Hubby is feeling quite poorly which is difficult. He's a trooper ... continues to work everyday. I guess he figures if he is going to feel lousy he might as well get paid to feel lousy. I trust he will stay home when he needs to. We will both be very glad to see the end of the radiation therapy on February 26th.
Five things I am grateful for today ...
1. Assessing two little ones yesterday (8 months and 2 yrs 3 months) that are doing so well they do NOT qualify for our program!! 2. Waking only one time to use the bathroom and feeling somewhat rested this morning. 3. Counting down the days with my hubby to MEXICO ... 4. Realizing and accepting that I am just going to be "behind" in paperwork for quite a while longer ... just not enough hours in the day 5. Planning on taking time off from work, even though I am behind, because I want to take care of myself.
Have a wonderful day ... wherever your day may lead you. Don't slip on the snow, mud, ice, or dry pavement (for those of you like me who have that particular talent!). Appreciate the NOW as much as you can while still aiming for the goals you have for yourself. Take care buddies!!

February 26th is coming right up! When are you going back to Mexico? You will have a wonderful time. I know what you mean about comparing yourself to others and feeling squishy. I am feeling pretty good about myself, although not yet where I want to be, and I am SO MUCH heavier than so many of my buddies on here. It makes me feel ginormous sometimes. We each have our own "good weight" though, right? You are even taller than me, so I am sure that where you are is a very good place for you. And, even more importantly, you can maintain where you are through stress and tribulation without going to extraordinary lengths. That is victory, my friend. Have a good day!

Erika ... you are so right. When I look at how much my other buddies weigh I do feel ginormous ... perfect word. But then ... you are right. I am 5'10" tall and I KNOW that I am good at this weight. Weight charts be damned!!! I know how I feel in my body. And I figure the loose skin must weigh at least 5 lbs or so ... maybe more!! LOL!!! I'll tell you though ... losing the weight in some ways was a much easier task than learning how to be "okay" and "content." Oh well ... at least we're not bored!! We'll be heading to Mexico on April 10th ... celebrating our 20th year of marriage and my 52nd birthday!!! We spend A LOT of time talking about it ... I already know where we'll eat the first night and what I'm ordering off the menu!! LOL!!! Shrimp Burrito, freshly made guacamole, and a GRANDE margarita ... on the rocks por favor!!

Oh wow. That sounds so fantastic right about now! And hopefully Bob will be feeling good again by then, right? Sounds like you will have a lot to celebrate! Do you go to the same place on every visit? I think your range sounds just about right for 5'10"--you are even taller than I thought you were! Be okay, be content, be MOOSE!

I'm counting down the days till your trip, too. I'll be living vicariously through you, if you don't mind. Also, I hope you don't mind what I wrote about a Moose-like challenge. I do think of you as guide to the existential side of all of this. OMG--beach, shrimps, guacamole, margarita. I am so THERE in my mind! So happy for you and your husband. A WELL DESERVED trip! And thanks for reminding me that being a mom is a full time job. Sometimes I doubt the contributions I'm making to my family. I know what you mean about the numbers. Mine might be smaller but I could never be in the teens or even the 20s. You are a tall woman! 5'10" and a size 10 is definitely nothing to feel bad about! I'm 5'7" ish and I thought I looked pretty good in size 10s. I think just a weight number is no way AT ALL to judge how someone looks-least of all ourselves. We all have different muscles and body types. Even two women of the same height will look very different at the same nubmer of pounds.

I'm pretty sure that my butt weighs at least 7 lbs all by itself. I'm thinking of it like a rump roast. LOL. Obsessed today with the butts I am.

OMG..is it seriously time for a return trip to Mexico already???!! This is one instance where it's great that the time flies. Sorry I haven't been keeping in touch (my life is a mess right now!) but I think of you often and in peeking at your journal today it appears you're doing well. When does hubby finish his treatments? Or is he already finished with that ordeal? Hope so. Now get ready for some much needed and well-deserved R&R.

Moose so sorry your husband is under the weather today. Hope he will be feeling better soon. I love your 5 today and you are right you guys need to have a trip together. You are going to have a great time. Reading about that food is making me hungry! You guys are funny butts and boobs today. I am obsessed with flappy arms myself. lol

It's nice to have an obsession or two I think!!! Such colorful characters we all are!! Doit2it ... radiation isn't done until February 26th. I think Bob will be feeling pretty puny for the rest of this ride ... but at least the end is in sight. When he starts to recuperate he's going to feel GREAT!! Nothing like feeling awful to support appreciation of feeling better.

Celebrating my squishiness - LOVE IT. I'm so sorry for you and your husband, such a hard thing to go through. I know as you said your husband is, you are a trooper too, and will get through it stronger. Much love for you! Sarah

You're right. Nothing like feeling like hell to make you appreciate "normal."
