Hi, Janie! So glad to see you again!

Enjoy your friend's visit, and be as good to yourself as you would be to her!

Hey Buttercream! Thanks for dropping in! It'll be a great visit with my sweet friend....it does my heart good to see her!


Yesterday was a fine & dandy shade of YELLOW. I should have been thinking about the fact that today is one of my son's birthdays though...I'd love to have strawberry shortcake for dinner tonight. I haven't had a great month so I was not planning to make today yellow...but we'll see. I might have a small one....but the rest of the day will be green. I'm just not gonna stress about it!

Okay...the rest of October was not worth dwelling on. Our friends' son finally passed away from Batten's disease - awful disease - always fatal before 25...and I had gallbladder surgery last week. I didn't think that food was a big issue last month so I just stopped being concerned about it. I started over yesterday & I'll take each day as it comes. Today will be green & that will feel great....

I am climbing back on the wagon myself. Things went downhill when I quit checking in daily. Even if no one read it, just the process has value. But I'm more committed than ever to this being a lifestyle, not just a diet for the moment...so here we go again.
Green days, here we come!
Appreciate your posts.

I'm sorry to hear about all your troubles. I'd consider all those days you were reaching out to friends, and certainly any days surrounding surgery as S days.

Kevin...I didn't think about Surgery being an "S"! LOL! What a way to get a few treats though!!! Thanks for stopping in...

Pam...Thanks for dropping in...and congrats on just climbing back on the wagon again. I've lost track of how many times I've done that...but every time we do, we're changing our life one bite at a time. It might take a lot of bites, but we'll get there...I just know it.

Thanks again!

Yesterday was GREEN and it certainly felt good. I'm still not 100% from surgery, but I'm trying to get my eating back on a regular schedule. Some foods are giving me a hard time so I'm eating light, but since I'm not doing much physical activity, it seems to be fine.

I see my dr. next week & hopefully after that I can go back to the "Y". I'm looking forward to feeling good again.

Three GREENS in a row so far this week & that feels good. I'm feeling better & better every day from the surgery & eating on track certainly helps emotionally too. Certain foods really bother me so I have to be careful anyway. I'm just very, very thankful to have that surgery behind me.

I'm off to a ton of errands with my little girl...and a green day here I come!

I love looking back on a GREEN week. It's the first one in a month so it's especially comforting.

I'm still having digestion issues after my surgery so finding things to eat & have them not give me grief is a challenge, but I'll get there. I might have some ice cream tonight because I've been wanting some for a week, but I'll have just a bit & see how I do. It's just so nice to feel good again!

I've had a green week also. Kind of neat to think about our being on opposite sides of the country but stepping each day into better health and habits!
Enjoy the weekend!
