laura: I'm too long winded, too! Anyway, sometimes success can be scarey and we think we don't deserve to be happy...that's a bunch of b.s.! You DO derserve this major milestone/success in your life! Lots of love & encouragement to you, my friend...!
Laura: Tommy----I think everyone has binged in some sort of fashion....ie: drinking, shopping, and something else I probably shouldn't mention! ;-) We sometimes fall off our convictions, but then have to get right back on and start fresh without guilt and without remorse. Those two feelings can push a person back into the binging stage. Just keep sight of your goal and don't let anything stand in your way! You're almost there!!! You can see the light at the end of the tunnel and sometimes success c
Paula (again): See...I'm always too long-winded - My last sentence got cut off. What I wanted to say was - thanks for sharing all this with perfect strangers. I'm sure you'll never know the full extent of the positive impact you've made on many people's lives!
Paula: Wow Tommy...how inspiring. You and I actually started weight loss journeys at the same time and then we crossed paths right around the time I hit my goal weight - last July when we both performed with Party Patrol. (Yeah, that Paula.) Even though I have not had as much of a weight loss as you, I can still totally relate to so much of what you've written in your blog. There's no Skinny Cows at my house either! Thanks for your courage in being able to share such a personal journey with perfec

I try to walk everyday, but it's hard to get motivated at times. The way you are losing weight is the best way and you will be successful.

If you keep involving pe

The good, the bad, and the ugly

  • Mood: OK
  • Music: The sound of the Dryer whirring

Hmmph.  It'salwaysomething isn't it?!

1.  I weighed in today - the scale read 279!! I thought fo sho that it was going to be a gain, but I'll take a 9 pound loss in 2 weeks.    I guess the food accountability journal and doing a ton of cardio is doing the trick.  It feels good to be past the last (ha hah...that rhymed) plateau.

2.  I got a letter back from my insurance company about my body sculpturing surgery (skin removal) that I was denied for and wrote an appeal letter for.  I had documentation from my Doctors, a letter from Fitness together and a 3 page letter from me.  Well, I have been DENIED again.  F*ckers.  I guess I go into 2nd level appeals now.  Time to get out the 'ol pen and write another letter.  I haven't even begun to fight, so they better watch out if they know what's good for 'em. 

3.  I have to go to a funeral tomorrow and Internment on Saturday up north.  My mom passed away after a short battle with cancer.  She went peacefully, and that is a blessing considering all of the pain she was in.  I'm thinking she's up in heaven with my Grandma looking down on all of us....I'm glad I was able to mend some fences with her in the past years.  When I went to see her in the hospital last time she was down here, she had just been diagnosed with the big "C".  We talked for a bit, and I think I helped to put her mind at ease about some perphial issues that she was dealing with.  I am happy that I was able to make her happy that way before she passed away. 

I don't know....maybe I'll write more next week, but for now, I think I'm going to go get cleaned up, head over to Templeton Middle School for Emily's completion ceremony, and try to have some fun.

Try and have a great weekend - Make it a great day - all the other options other than that just kinda suck.

love and stuff,

Tommy

So sorry to hear about your Mom. I think you're right...she's probably up there with your Grandma watching over all of us.:)

On a much brighter note, congrats on the 279! Good Lord that's amazing! Keep it up, yer almost there!
