Yes, I’m still paving the road to hell with my good intentions. I have not had a good week in the food department. I’m not consistent. I start out really good, then by dinner time I’ve gone overboard in some way. I suppose I should be inspired by the people I saw on Oprah the other day. She had the Biggest Losers on. One of the guests said they exercised seven hours a day. Well no wonder they lose hundreds of pounds. I could never do that. Good grief! Still don’t want to and never will.
I did a fascinating thing yesterday. I went to a plastic surgeon my dermatologist recommended. I feel like a person on t.v. I went in for a consultation about some of my skin issues and zap, zing, the laser removed it all. It wasn’t terribly expensive either. I never dreamed I would do anything like that ever. I’m very glad I did. I think I will feel more feminine now.
I still find it interesting how vanity plays such a role in one’s mind. I’m accustomed to the big belly. It’s such a part of me. The other things that bug me, I face in the mirror every day. If I hold a hand mirror, I don’t see the belly. ha ha. The belly is leaving, albeit slowly. Slow change is is best. It will be lasting. Other parts of me have changed too. My waist is reappearing. I think these changes are mainly happening because I have so much more energy. I’m walking lots more and managing to squeeze in exercise at Fast Break. Fred keeps me busy on the week-ends now too, so I don’t sit around to snack.
I’m met Fred’s twin sons this morning. We met at Frisch’s for breakfast. I was nervous about meeting them. His daughter, Krista, her husband, Will ,and their eight-month-old daughter, Kylie came too. As usual, my fears were unfounded. His boys are great. They are just like him in so many ways. We had a nice time. I’m glad to have gotten over that hurdle. Now I’ve met most all of Fred’s family. Everyone seems o.k. with our pending nuptials. I will enjoy getting to know his kids more fully as time goes by.
I think Emily will like them alot. It’s weird if one thinks of them as “step-brothers and sisters.” Since they are all adults, I don’t think it really counts. I did kind of have fun with Steve and Hud Hock being my step-brothers. I have Steve for a brother, Steve for a brother-in-law, Steve for a step-brother and now Steve for a step-son. How cool is that. I can’t wait to introduce them all to each other. “Hello, Steve I’d like to introduce you to Steve, and this is Steve, and this is Steve and Steve.” Fun!
