Day 35- Learning Patience
Nov 10 2009 16:26

Today's title pretty much says it all about where I am right now.  Still waiting for that next big drop on the scales.  Trend line is still going down slowly although its hard when those stupid weight fluctuations push you above for a day or two.   I always thought I was a patient person, but that is being tested. 

On Thursday, I'm getting on the train to visit my mom and then we are going on our annual Shop-O-Rama!  The shop-o-rama is a 3 or 4 day shopping get-away that all the ladies in my family do every year before the holidays.  Its always tons of fun, these ladies are some of the funniest people I know.  I'm a little worried about sticking to my eating plan but I will have my mom there to help.  I'm giving her permission to keep me in line because she's way ahead of me on the weightloss journey.  She's bringing healthy snacks for us. Also, unlike shop-o-ramas in the past, we are staying in a place with a kitchen, so we will take turns making healthy meals rather than eating in restaurants.  Plus, shopping burns calories haha!  So hopefully, I won't get off track.

I'm not going to have a whole lot of money for shopping this year (I don't know why we can't ever schedule them after a payday that doesn't include rent) but that's ok because buying stuff is kind of secondary to the spendng time together.

So wish me luck!!

In other news, the lady came to pick up the pirate painting today.  I kinda miss it now that its gone! Oh well, its going to brighten up someone else's home for a while, and the check is going to help me out on my shopping trip.

And note to self: Healthy Choice's Beef Merlot is way better than the Whiskey Steak.  I had them confused...cow +taters + liquor...you know...
