Just heard that we have a guy on one of the other wings of the hospital where I work that was swimming with his dog to safety and was attacked by an alligator! Needless to say, that dog is no longer!
Also, prayers please for my father in law Steve. He works as an insurance adjuster for a private claims company and was called yesterday as he was in Walmart enjoying his Sunday afternoon that on Tuesday he will be shipped to New Orleans. They don’t know how long he’ll be there, maybe up to 2 weeks but he was told to bring along a gun. Prayers please for his safety as he sees first hand the horror of this hurricane! Prayers also for my mother in law as she is left here alone not knowing if her new husband will be safe or not.
For those that are keeping me honest about this weight loss mission, here goes. I got on the scale yesterday morning and didn’t lose any, didn’t gain any so that is good I suppose. My lovely co-workers decided to have a food day (they promise me this isn’t an every weekend thing) and I decided to have a day off. I ate cajun crab dip with crackers, cheese cake, chocolate cake, muffins, sausage, pb & j sandwich, rice/hamb/bean/cheese casserole. I for surely went over my points but funny thing is? I weighed this morning and I had lost 3 pounds!! Don’t know how that happened but I”ll take as it has me meeting my first goal!!! YIPPEE! I’m down now 9 lbs! We actually splurged alot last week and bought an elliptical machine so this week, I am getting on that thing every day I have off (Tue-Thurs) and I’m going to do my darnest NOT to use any of the weekly allowance points. I figure I’ll make up for my bad eating binge yesterday in terms of points by next Christmas this way!! MMMM! Chocolate CAKE! My favorite!
