OMG!! I'm so happy today! i'm back to my usual self around here, so you can all breathe easier now! Stop holding your breath and tip-toeing around me! LOL

One thing I am REALLY GOOD at, is recovering from a fall! 'nough 'bout that!

Guess what?! I received some great news regarding the biopsy I had done before our vacation. BTW, have you ever had one?? they're quite traumatic, aren't they?? LOL Anyway, I do NOT have any type of autoimmune disease or anything else worth worrying about either!! The biopsy results suggested that I was in the "recovery phase"...so my family is taking me out to dinner tonight to celebrate! During the party, I won a gift certificate to the Olive Garden Restaurant, so guess where we're going?? LOL

Today I have to make a few rows and waterlines available for about 500 new bushes and perennials so I'm sure I'll get my workout!! Right now they're all lined up according to their varieties, waiting patiently for me to give them a home! Also, We bought several colors of the iris', so each container has to be given a color stick to match their flower, for identification purposes! I'm excited!!! I should be getting home about 9:30 tonight. I'll be dirty, hungry and TIRED! BUT!!! I'll still check up on you all after I grab a bite to eat!!
HUGS!!

Add Comment Gaining 1.6 kg a Week

07 August 2008

Well, the first week of our challenge is almost over! I'm very happy to say that I'm thoroughly kicking my group's butt, too! (they say it's because they're LETTING me win! LOL) Seriously though, I love every one of my buddies on this site! It's just not a normal day unless I begin it with a cup of coffee and all of YOU!

I'm beaming from one side of my mouth to the other, today!

Why? (why not?) this is why:

I gained 4 pounds on my family vacation! We've been back now for 7 days, and this morning when I weighed in, I have found that all 4 of those pounds are gone, plus 1/2 pound on top of that! I'm sure it was almost all water retention from lack of real exercise, and drinking lots of water. I quickly remedied that situation when I found a mountain of back-breaking work waiting for me in the nursery!
Welp! All that is behind me now!

I'm feeling soooo good. It's funny how subtle changes take place within your body when you gain weight. For me, I feel sluggish and bloated and heavy-headed. I have identified those symptoms so many times when the scale goes up, that I don't even have to weigh myself to know I've gained any more!

On the yackity gossip side of the fence; I'm looking forward to this Saturday, when I get to come face to face with my arch enemy yet again! (if you're wondering what I'm talking about, see journal from a few days ago). The funny part to me is the feeling I get once she arrives. Even though I am already expecting the confrontation that I've come to realize will always be there, it still catches me offguard. It still bothers and hurts me! I joke around about how I'm gonna have fun making her jealous and all that, and perversely, I do once the games are underway! But honestly...that kind of negative energy affects my whole aura and inner harmony with a heavy impact once she enters my life again. Every few months when she and I come into contact with each other, I put myself in attack/retreat mode. ATTACK MODE is where I spend part of the evening feeling brave, where I'll either enter/or allow her to enter, the conversation going on. IF she's particularly cat-womanish toward me, I CAN dig down deep for the CAPITAL *B* in me, and get onry (tom boy in me) and start messing with her, by stealing her thunder, steering conversations away from her, or since she's single and flirts alot with the guys, I like to steal the guy's attention from her too! LOL (that part is a blast and definitely NOT HARD TO DO!) It takes a few drinks for me to get that type of bravado and pull off that deed, but talk about hilarious!!!

and then there's the other part of the evening, where I have to step away (retreat) into the cool night air, to gather my strength again! Part of the reason is that I get so angry at how I can let her get to me. It feels like a weakness! It's not like I'm treating her terribly at HER home! THIS IS MY HOME, for heaven's sake! She's quite ruthless, and the audacity...Good grief!

So...I'm gearing up for the "fight" people. I refuse to back down and cower under her piercing, penetrating up-and-down stares! Chin up Bad Andee! We're gonna kick some A$$ in a couple of days! :) (not literally, of course! Just figuratively speaking!)
