Patricia, there’s no doubt about it. Your mindset is a great one. You acknowledge the issues but you refuse to let them own you. I feel inspired reading what you’ve written here.

The lack of laughter is something you can remedy by reading our shenanigans here.

Thanks for sharing.

Happy Birthday Tara
I just saw someone riding nude at Golden Gate Park…worse than the picture

Answer questions: after surgery and chemo for Ovarian Cancer in 1994 my own body just disappeared and this strangely formed body evolved.
in 1997 I had to had surgery to removed hanging skin (11pounds) repair the damage to my intestines and other internal organs because the Hysterectomy was done so incompetently – The second surgeon said he had seen shrapnel wounds as awful in Viet Nam. I ate my way 3 years of 24/7 care of my dying mum -eating and reading for find space for myself – I would have been better off if I had been writing a blog – Now I am 18 months and 2 more surgeries into re-location efforts on finding my body again – one that serves me well.
I have been working out 17.5 hours per week and have lost 9 pounds…but getting pneumonia in October has really cramped my efforts.
I think lack of laughter contributed to my biggest weight gain

I think I found a good motivational tool. If I can somehow find a way for the photo to appear on weeks that people post weight gains rather than losses, we could have something going here!

My friend joined the Navy. He was always skinny, but given the mandatory steady Navy diet of beer, beer and more beer, he packed on a few pounds pretty quickly.

Ah man. I weighed in at home this week but bloggy activity and blog reading got massively away from me this week.

Happy Birthday Tara! And I’m so sorry that the boys saw fit to get you that disturbing photo for your birthday. You may not want to tell them it’s your birthday next year.

I’ve gone back and read all the stuff I missed and I really enjoyed this first week. It’s been very entertaining and motivating and I’m looking forward to participating in next weeks wednesday weigh in.

You guys. I am indeed walking. Fell walking. In the Lake District of England. And it is BEAUTIFUL and I am thinking of you all every weary step I take up the side of a rocky hill!
Have just been dragged back to the hotel because hubby wants to watch the rugby and eat a very large beefburger!

I too am suspicious of the “walking”. I dare not question Tara about it through fear of unleashing her terrible wrath. The Wrath of Cain, is not something I’m keen to endure.

The hour in the gym is probably fine of you’re in serious training for something but for those of us who wish to lose a few pounds and get in reasonable shape, it’s probably too long – I gotta agree with you there. I’ve been there and done that.

I haven’t seen Five Factor Fitness. I’ll look it up.

LMAO

I agree it’s a bit wretched having to see Borat on your 40th.
