I've had a rough couple of weeks... Overwhelming sense that I'm messing stuff up - at work and at home... no real proof in the pudding one way or the other... just insecurity I guess...

I guess I've just been focusing on the negative... the times I said or did the wrong thing... the bad food that I ate when I'm supposed to be sticking to my diet... and I haven't wanted to bring down the blogosphere with my mood... but if I can't be totally honest and real here... in this safe place where none of you even know who I 'really' am... where can I be?

I'm coming out of the funk... getting a better perspective... looking on the sunny side of life...

I guess we all have a let down after the holidays and that was mine... I'm disappointed I suppose. Copper was given a great schedule starting in January... 7am-5pm Tuesday-Friday... evenings and weekends off... then two people quit to go to the sheriff's office and now his got 11am-9pm Friday-Monday and is off Tuesday-Thursday... ick.

I know that next quarter it will shift again and it might be a new schedule but we are only 2 weeks into this one and I'm already sick of it! PRAY FOR ME!

I've also discovered that the main hinderance to my weight loss is that I'm a bored eater... and with no Copper around (and not a ton of money for going out and entertaining myself) I'm bored... a lot... I'm working this problem... thinking of cheap and entertaining things to do... for me and Tater-tot on the weekend. And I'm sticking to my weight loss program... attending my meetings... counting my points... and not cheating...

Identifying the problem is half the battle right?!?!? Now I'll be able to resist Cherry Sours (10 are 3 points) and Chex Mix (2/3 cup is 3 points) -my two latest cravings!

Better days are coming... brighter times are ahead... and we are all along for the ride!

So remember, friends, what the Monty Python boys always say...

Nobody expects a Spanish Inquisition...
