THE RACE ON THE LOOSE CABOOSE

[LINDA RN]

I think I forgot to check in last week. I maintained and am happy that today I still maintained at 179. Started exercising on the trampoline, so hoping to push it down some more.

It could be that I have lost another pound making it 162 but my weight has been fluctuating .... I was hoping to loose another 10 by the time I pick up my son at the airport Wed. Dec. 1 (he is flying in from Korea for a month holiday). He hasn't seen me for a year!  He should notice the weight loss!

We did not get any answers to our question.... Guess they jumped off the train!
Maybe we aren't traveling anymore. Hope the train is not stuck in the desert somewhere.

Have a wonderful time with your son.  You know how our sons are, they just love us no matter what.  I am sure he will notice that you are shrinking so don't worry about that 10 extra lbs.

Hi Kathie, glad you are here, we missed you. How are you anyway?  Wither

[Kathie]

HI Wither..I am ok.  Mom is now in Hospice Home mostly.  Still declining with cancer riddleing her frail body, dementia setting in much more now, not eating, but still drinking insure.  Not much pain at this time. Keeping her comfy mostly.  Its been rough and I have no excuses to have gained as I can still do LDL no matter what is happening in my life. I just need to do what I have to do and really push that button in my head.. Will try again today.  I feel so much better when pure LDL. Atleast I have learned that much and it will always stay with me. I am here daily altho I dont report in and that is probably one of my problems or key to my successes.. oh please Lord here my prayers.  I need to do this. Bless Mom and keep her safe and pain free.  Thanks for asking Wither and all of those that have continued prayer and are interested in my journey, thank you also.
Hugs.. Kathie in Fl.

I know how hard and stressful it can be with your mom.  We went thru that with my dad with his cancer. 
I will be praying with you that you will treat you body right and eat what will nourish and build you up.  Stress
is so harsh on our bodies that eating wrong only adds to the problem.
We are here to support you so keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.

[Bethann]

Thanks Wendy!  Your right .... they love us just the way we are!
I found it difficult the days in Winnipeg. Every where I went there was difficult choices to make. I'm up a bit in weight right now but getting back into it .... My son wants me to cook LDL for him so I will try. It should encourage me to stick to it anyway.
I haven't been on the Loose Caboose before ..... but lately have been riding along....

I forgot to report in yesterday, am the same no gain, no loss. 

[Kathie]

I am going to get back on the caboose till I stop falling off.  Shame on me but I am determined to make this work for me and get to my final goal.
I am 148 today.  Looking forward to Monday, my usual weigh in day.
Had a smoothie this morning to start things off..
Hugs.. Kathie in Fl.. waving to Jennie and Karen... you go girls!

Kathie, (and everybody) -- Isn't it weird how stress can totally undermine good eating?  It's almost like your body wants something bad for you, because of all the other bad stuff happening around you.  Actually, it is probably due to a lack of rest and how when we are tired our resolve isn't as strong to make right choices. 

So sorry about your mom, Kathie.  I know you've been a good daughter to her and she's blessed to have you.  Your weight will even out again.  You know what to do and have experienced such success.  It'll work out for you.

[Joyful Friend]

Kathie, I can empathize with you.  It is so difficult to see the ones we love so much leave us little by little.  God is your source of comfort, but we also will hold you up in prayer.  Crick's  comments make so much sense.  and    JF

[witheraway1]

Kathie, you can and you will do it. I have faith in you. Keep hanging in there you will succeed. We are all here to encourage you. Keep us posted.

[witheraway1]

I wish I could report a loss.....But I am the same. My body must like it here, but I don't. I will keep on. Maybe our train is lost haven't heard from the conducter. I wish I knew where we are.
