Let's Get Physical
In the last set of comments, Deanna mentioned my weight loss. For those of you who are curious, Kevin and I have been trying to lose weight all summer. Kevin has lost more than me, but I have been told that is normal since most men weigh more than women. I only wish I had already lost as much as he has!
You know, all women have a magic number they think they would be happy weighing. I have had a number in mind from the very beginning of this “diet” (it's really a life change, not a diet) and when I reach it or even near it, I’ll let you know. It may take me another month or so. We’ll see.
When I do reach that magic number, I also plan to show you before and after pictures, have a photo gallery of what we’ve been eating, and give you a few recipes that are tasty even if you’re not dieting. For the record, we did not take any “before” photos. I don’t know why because I take pictures of everything else. Honestly the thought never crossed my mind. However, I do have pictures of Kevin and myself that will suffice. Trust me, they will show you where we began.

I spoke with Jennifer today while she was on her lunch break. She is in Lexington today for training, but they have told her she will be away an entire week for training in Owensboro or someplace like that. She has a job at night cleaning, so she will have to arrange for someone to do that, plus she has other arranging that will have to be accomplished with the kids and so on. She lives a life that is way too hectic for me. I couldn’t handle the constant changes.
Kevin and I live a very sedate life. We read, he knits, and we walk, watch some TV, and play on the computer and so on. We’re happy this way. We like order and schedules. We like to plan things. We’re not “fly by the seat of our pants” people. To me, this is a good thing.
Jennifer said a man took one of the rabbits to keep for himself. And then there were three ...

I received a document in this afternoon’s mail stating that Guido’s tumor was not cancerous. Yea!

Mom has a hard, round place on her arm. The doctor told her it is Phlebitis and she has to take an antibiotic called cefdinir (Omnicef) to rid herself of it. She has had this place for three weeks – ever since someone came into her hospital room one night to draw blood. She believes this was the second person to try to draw her blood that night. There is still no word on her chest x-ray.

Hey, Tami. :) I've been faithfully reading your blog every night, but it's been on my phone's browser and it's not always possible to leave comments using it (not easily at least). Hooray for Guido's negative pathology report! I know how nerve-wracking it is waiting for your mom's results. You're all in my prayers.
Howie and I really need to get back to our good lifestyle again. I've been eating terribly and feeling depressed -- largely because of eating badly, I think, feeling guilty, out of control, sluggish from a bad diet, etc.
I think we'll do great if we stick to making meals at home. The doggoned fast food joints are my nemesis!
