What's that in the ???

What's that? In the where? Oh NO it isn't!!!! Yes it was. Okay so far so good.
Yes it's that kind of a day around here so far. I have found spiders, mind you they don't bother me as long as they are allllllll outside! But there is one living in my living room (okay so his brothers & sisters, aunts & uncles are all in hiding, and he is the only one I can "SEE") ... and one of these days he will be no more because I will be brave enough ~ or I will give in & call my hubby in to do the dirty deed. As long as he seems content to stay put I think I can arrange to ignore him... but the minute I have to wonder where he's gotten off to then I will not be able to stand it any longer.

I will let you know besides the uncharacteristic humane side of me showing up on behalf of the spider (and yes it's a rather small one or else it would have been history long before now) ... I have been under the weather. Oh it really didn't seem like such a big deal at first ... just came across as something that disagreed with me (no gall bladder = lots of times when food doesn't agree with me) ... but then one day became two and before I knew it an entire week of "running" wasn't so much fun. In fact I had actually stopped eating as much as I could in order to see if I could get things back under control. It didn't work. It had gotten to the point where even just water made me "run". But as of a couple of hours ago I have to say I feel the best I have in just a little over a week. I think perhaps (*& I hope I'm not jumping the gun a bit here in stating this) that it is finally under control. In the meantime I have lost an incredible amount of weight during this past week. Not the way I wanted to see it go but if it decides to stay gone I certainly won't be complaining!

So far I've managed to remain focused on my goals ~ the food has been great until this past week's episodes... but I know I can & will remain steady on this course now that my stomach seems to be feeling better. I am very close to having lost 10% of my weight. Which simply means I will reset my goal to lose the next 10%. I'm going to see this through even when it is hard. My ultimate goal hasn't been determined yet (weight wise) but I do know I have a very long slow journey ahead of me, and I'm ready and willing to reach the end of this journey no matter how long it takes.
