I was a supply teacher and I went mall shopping with my daughter…

Sleep, Sun, Play, and Use Your Brain
Bed at midnight. Lily woke me up at 6, she wanted to go outside and make sure her deer was still on the deck I stayed up and got ready for a supply-teaching job. I left at 7am. 45 min drive to the school. Finished at 2:15, flew to my daughter’s school, picked her up and drove an hour into the city for her surgeon’s appointment.

Her mobility is improving. Her flexion is 130 degrees (good leg is 150) and her extension is 178 degrees ( her good leg is +8)
But he said no Phys Ed next semester

We went to Chapters and $tarbucks and then to the mall for Chinese and a bit of shopping.
I bought a belt. At Garage. I haven’t used a belt in a few years. (Since I out grew my last one)
I’m fussy about belts, the buckle can’t be too big or it catches on my belly bar.
And I don’t like the tiny thin ones, or bling, or elastic at the back and of course it had to be black.
Bonus – it was on sale

Home by 9. Parked my ass on the couch.

Oooh...seeing those bones makes me think of making stock! Been years since I've had deer, I spent one winter when living at home in northern BC eating no other meat than moose...good but gets old when that's all there is.

I have to chuckle at the starbucks chai latte...that's hubby's fave whenever we stop in there, despite my regular comments on the amount of sugar. I find it far too sweet these days. Then again, 20% and all...

And one of Lily and the rib cage:

Good grief, talk about biting off more than you can chew!

Stock! Why didn't I think of that? Too late now.

And yeah, its a good thing $tarbucks is an hour away...

That's the smaller rib cage. Here's Josie with the bigger one:



Sorry for the REALLY poor quality image.

Love them carcass pix!

Sorry your daughter isn't 100% yet, but I'm glad she's improving.

Thanks.
She's getting there - it's only been 4.5 months since surgery. She's gained 30 degrees flexion in the last six weeks.

I like this!

nice deer pics too

Why thank you 216

(I almost didn't post the deer photos because the quality isn't as good as I like/expect/demand of myself)

You've got to admire their tenacity

[winencandy]

I read Mark's post today, the two success stories, and it depressed me.
Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled for the two successul women.
BUT I can't help thinking "What about ME?"

What's wrong with me?
Why can't I loose?

Lindsey lost 20 lbs since Sept 1.
I've lost 2.

And Malika.
WOW!

I'm just SO frustrated....

[NourishedEm]

I hear ya sister! I know you've been at it longer than me, but after 2 and a half months I am exactly 1kg heavier than when I started and I don't cheat. I have a drink from time to time, but nothing like I used to, I haven't touched a grain of any description and have cut dairy (except butter) to an occasional indulgence. I really don't know what else to do, but will keep plugging away, I guess that's all we can do eh?
