Wow, stuff to comment on

First, weight gain-Before fibro I weighed about 130(I was a

muscular size 10/12-Thats a ten on top and a twelve on the bottom)

I am now 175lbs from a high of 182lbs in January. I wear a 14/16

(fourteen dress size but sixteen pant size) Now my husband would

prefer me smaller, but he NEVER says anything negative about my

weight and it does not affect his interest in me sexually. I am

trying to lose at least down to 150lbs for health and mobility

reasons. You know it is time to lose weight when you mention to your

girlfriends that you are cutting back and trying to lose a few

pounds and they say, " Good for you. " Oh, I slowly gained my weight

in the last 7 years, you know a few pounds a year and it was a

combination of inactivity and carb cravings.

Second, exercise-I believe that we should at least give it a

try. My knee has made me pretty careful, but I am walking daily.

Sleep, very important for me-I generally get at least six

hours a night-last night I slept almost 7, I generally do not nap as

if I do, I do not sleep at night. A few times a month, I have to. I

do rest my body a few hours a day. I checkout movies from the

libraries and watch them or just sit outside and watch birds or

read.

My fourteen year olds boyfriend-crush is coming over for a few

hours tonight. He is a seventh grader and they just goof around.

Yes, I will be watching them like a hawk. She knows that this

boyfriend thing will move very very slow or there will be no rides

to Elkhorn(12 miles away-where he lives), and we will put the cabash

on this boyfriend thing. He plans on biking over to see her in the

summer. Another reason for me to keep an eye on her.

My husband and I had a serious conversation and we have decided

that other than some temporary work-working for the fair or some

demo stuff, I will not get an addition job this summer. I have

learnt how to live pretty cheap, plus the man has three weeks of

vacation this summmer and he wants me to be able to take off with

him and . I am tightening the financial belt a bit tighter now.

Well, time to get going. Blessings to all-PennyGruetz
