Sunday Fun

What was the last... [taken from To Whom It May Concern] Please put your answers in the comment section.

1) ... gift that someone gave you? Was it for a special occasion or just out of the blue? What's the last gift that you have given to someone else, and why? Did they like it?

The last gift that I was given was a framed set of butterfly fossils. It was part of a trio of gifts my lovely man gave me for my 30th birthday. The last gift I gave someone else was a necklace I made for her birthday. From what I could see, she liked it. But she hasn't worn it yet...


2) ... time that you took a walk? Where did you go? Did you walk with someone or go alone? Did you see anything interesting along the way? Do you enjoy walking as a form of exercise?

The last walk I took was Friday morning. I was by myself because the man slept in, but I walked around our neighborhood for exercise. I enjoy walking for exercise because you can do it anywhere, anytime, and it is free.

3) ... thing that you thought of before going to bed last night? Why was it on your mind? Did you sleep well last night? Did you have any dreams?

I was thinking about some drama that happened between two of my friends on Friday night. They are sisters and I was worried because neither of them have rung me to tell me how they are doing. I slept well and remember dreaming about my cat for some reason.

4) ... day of high school like for you? What were your feelings on that day? Do you still keep in touch with any high school friends?

The last day of high school is a bit blurry in my memory, but I remember feeling very strange to be leaving the place I had spent so much time at. I don't have any contact with anyone that was in the same class as me because I had always moved around and none of them were that close to me. I do have contact with others that are older than me.

5) ... phone call you made? To whom, and how long did you talk? Are you on the phone often? How many phones do you have at home?

The last call I made was just an hour ago to my mother in the US. She had rung me last night so I was calling her back. We try to catch up at least once a week or every other week on the weekend. We talked for about half an hour. The rates are expensive but we talk often enough that we don't have lots to say. We have 2 land line phones and 2 mobile phones. I don't usually talk on the phone a lot.

ooh! just signed in after a hectic fortnight at school and you are going for slimmer of the year?? awesome work gorgeous girl! now where do I start:

i think bek should win slimmer of the year because the weight loss journey is a long and hard one. All your readers know that or they wouldn't be spending money on your magazine. The difference bewteen bek and everyone else is that although losing weight can take every waking moment, every available muscle, every calorie counted and bek needs this too but she still finds time to lead and support others. She gives constant help and support and leaves invaluable comments on the weight loss sites of others. She is a successful, strong, intelligent woman who we all love.

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...

Life happens

I wish I could tell you guys that everything is on track and that the reason I have not been writing is because life has just been too good. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Winter is generally a crap time of year for me. I thought that this one I could get a handle on it and not have it get the best of me. I was wrong. Exercise? Who me? Eat healthy? Um no. Last night I wanted chips so mr. ralph went out at midnight and got us chips and dip and we sat in our pj's watching the England and Portugal quarter final stuffing our faces. Am I painting a pretty picture? For the most part I eat well. I do. I do not stock my house with these kinds of foods. I have learned that because I am an emotional eater, it is better if I don't. But mr. ralph is too easy. Where I won't go out and buy something at midnight, if I ask him too he will go for me. Yes, I do believe we are in a co-dependent relationship, even where food is concerned. We both eat when we feel emotional....

Unbelievable results

You may have noticed that I changed the 70 to the left to 71. I don't know how it happened, but I actually gained weight this week. What is happening to me? I don't know what is going on, but the scale did say 71 two days in a row. Yes, I am at the end of my TOM and that could contribute to some of it, but a whole kilo? I looked at my calorie count from this week and I went over 1500 only 2 days, Friday and Saturday. Although I did much better this weekend than last, I still struggled with eating more on my off days than during the week. Another reason I had a horrific week was the heat. We had 4 days of over 40C in a row. Now that is just wrong. I can't handle heat very well. I did go for a walk on Saturday and when I came home thought I was going to die from heat exhaustion. Not good at all. I almost declared this week a no-weigh week due to my TOM but have decided to take it as it comes. So I weigh 71 today. Excuse my language but that number really scares the ...
