Weight Dec. 31, 2023

 It's New Year's Eve day - December 31, 2023.

My weight in clothes this morning was 229.8 pounds.

My goal is to lose 100 pounds this year.

My New Year's resolution is to write down what I eat every day during 2024.

Goals for 2024

main goal is to lose weight

second goal is to paint Mustang hood

third goal is to write autobiography 

Hacked?

 A few days ago, somebody -- not me --- tagged some of my FB friends to go to a link I did not share.

So Tired of Edema

I have had edema since my cancer treatment started over two years ago.  My feet and legs are so swollen and ugly. 

At first I thought that the swelling would go away in time, but no such luck!

Did My 'Before' Fat Picture Get Blog Labeled 'Adult Content'?

Just noticed that my ten-year-old blog was designated by Google as "adult content."

WTF?  It must have been my "before" fat pictures I put on here two years ago.

 

It's Always Something

I tried to change a few things on this blog, and it screwed up.

It's always something, isn't it?

Mammogram Scheduled--Finally

 Since my diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer two years ago, I have to have a mammogram every year.

Last year in September of 2022, the doctors found an "area of concern"; but the cancer doctor (AKA the oncologist) said that the area was probably caused by scar tissue where my tumor had been surgically removed on September 27, 2021.

My next mammogram is scheduled for October 19, 2023 at 2:15 PM.

Mammograms are painful, but so is dying of cancer.

Spam and Ritz Crackers

 We managed to run this rv out of propane.

So breakfast for me was Ritz crackers and a Slim Fast shake.

Lunch was Spam and more Ritz crackers.

Weigh Every Day and Log My Intake

 So I weighed 235.8 this morning.

All went well until we saw a pizza commercial and ordered pizza.

Got 80 Bags of Chips in the Mail Yesterday

 So

August 23, 2023

 I took my Fosamax this morning.

For brealfast I ate a Hershey's cake and a cookie, for a total of 380 calories.

Fifty three years ago, I did something that changed my life forever.

I caught a plane from Dallas. Tx. to Denver, Colorado, to meet the man who would become my second husband the following spring.

Grocery Shopping: What to Not Buy

So whenever I go grocery shopping, I will not buy cookies, sweet cakes, pies, candy, ice cream, or chips. 

If I do nott have these things in the house, I will not eat them, unless I go out.

I should lose weight. 

Moving On To Bucket List

 Since I was diagnosed with and treated for breast cancer two years ago, I have watched a lot of cancer patients on youtube, many of whom are dying from the disease.

To the best of my knowledge, I remain cancer free.  Hopefully, things will stay that way.

Now I need to progress to checking off things on my bucket list.

Losing weight is always number one on that list.

I am not doing so well in that endeavor.

Sewing and crocheting probably are easy to accomplish, so I will proceed with some projects.

Painting the hood of the Mustang needs to be put on the priority list, as does building a portable building for Ore City and remodeling the apartment in Gary's shop.

That's enough for now.

75 Day Diet

 I have my next appointment with the cancer doctor on August 31st.

That date is around 75 days from now.. 

 So I will write down what I eat until then.

And I will try to exercise some self control.

Planning Trips

We have not traveled since before the pandemic.

But today we are making plans. 

Birthday Number 75 Coming Up

 B-Day minus eleven days.

So tired of swollen feet.

Picture Book Still Has Not Arrived

So my new book of picurews was shipped April 11, but it still has not arrived.

I accidentally deleted the email with the order number and customer service phone number.

Double crap.

Passwords Not Working

i have been trying to pay bills for hours, but my passwords are not working.

i Must Organize

 I cannot find the cellphone that is connected to my larger Facebook account/

I cannot find the password to the credit card account that is due in three days.

Leaving Number One

I left Number 1 fifty three years ago today.

 

Daily Diary

 Instead of making weird Facebook posts, I am thinking I should use this blog as a daily diary, or as draft chapters of my autobiography.

Finally Down to 219 Pounds
