In other words, it doesn't ever end -- he will need to do that the rest of his life.
For me, I failed at that last part, which is why I have to lose a good portion of it all over again.
I swear maintaining is way harder than losing. I gained about 3-4 over Easter, a few more in late summer and a few more over the holidays, instead of buckling down in between. I know what to do, and am back at it. It's just weird. You think you can relax a little but finding that balance.... it's HARD. I guess I need to keep going more often, but I needed a break. Not really from the meetings or leader but from some people.

So she gave me her UM set!!!! I made a couple of the cards I cut for her classes--really fun design!
Didn't get home till 9:30--the pups come with me and romp outside with her dogs--Molly usually bails early and barks by the door of the craft room to come in, and she sits under the stamping table near my feet.
Oh that's awesome! I plan to get it too. So I can, you know, make weird b'day cards for friends....

Lost 2 lbs at WW this morning! Back to my pre-Christmas weight.
Fantastic! We're trying to cut down again, too. PT test for DH in a few weeks and as long as he passes it will be his last ever in the Air Force! He needs to pass.

What happens if he doesn't pass?

E, one of the things that might help Pippin's constipation is milk, like 1/8 cup. I read that just a little, twice a day, might help. He still hasn't gone.
The book also said Grape Nuts or oat bran are good. Don't know if you have either of those. Poor puppy.
She said he shivered for 20 mins. after the left this morning. It was 12°. That's like, almost no degrees at all!!!!!!!!

She was "a while" past Ft. Stockton at a rest stop when we had a quick chat. Her phone was apparently telling her seven more hours, that was at noon here. Which would put her arrival around 9 p.m.! But we'll see, she tends to have a bit of a lead foot.
You're two hours ahead of me, right?

She's refueling near where bill goes hunting. We sent a shortcut suggestion around San Antonio to save about 30 minutes. It's a good 4 lane past Randolph afb.

I guess I need to keep going more often, but I needed a break. Not really from the meetings or leader but from some people.
LOL...so at my meeting is this quite large lady -- maybe around 38-40 years old with probably 175 lbs to lose. Lives with her mother. She said she was teased so mercilessly in HS that she almost committed suicide. She is seeing a psychiatrist - she shares too much publically - everything (I mean everything) out of her mouth in meetings is negative.
I always try to sit way on the other side of the room. Today she was deriding all the New Year's resolution people who just signed up. She changed her seat to come sit next to me and another lady -- said "us regulars" need to stick together. How stupid, you should encourage the newbies, don't put them down...
So then she started yakking about this scene she had at her bank where somebody cut her off at the drive-up window and she started calling her the b word and wanted the bank to give her the other lady's name so she could file a police report...the bank said no, customer privacy, but if the police contacted them they would talk to the police directly but they wouldn't give WW attendee the person's name. Good for the bank.
Anyway I do not need her strident negativity at 8am in the morning. So I started stitching on my Xmas tags (I carry around a baggie of cut ones to do the blanket stitching on) and kept my eyes down so she couldn't engage me in her poison.

She made good time. She's on the 85 mph stretch, too so that helps.

Gah. That would definitely drive me nuts.
Some people think "their way" is the only way or the best way for everyone. I tend to think my way is the best way for *me*, but I'm open to suggestions and/or improvements. But I sure don't think it's necessarily the best for everyone. The whole point of the meetings is to get other people's input and support. She should just do it online! Spare the rest of you! lol

and then we go to chalk bluff park in uvalde which is just south of there off 90.
I know Junction. We'd go via Eden to get to Menard then down 87 to Junction when we went to San Antonio. And our little airport at San Angelo was always busy in hunting season.
