Moving
Well, I have had it with blogger. I have not been able to upgrade my account since June, and it is just not meeting my needs. The new journal is located here. I have also changed my sites name to "Lust for Life - not for food" since the Looking Glass thing was getting to be old hat. I have also revamped my site to match the blog, so if you get a chance, check it out.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Sick Again!
I am sick again. I went to the Milwaukee Christmas Parade on Satruday with my Dad and Jamie, and I started getting a sore thoat in the morning, and then we went to the Holiday Folk Fair, and I wasn't feeling hot then. Sunday I was feeling pretty ok, just a touch of a cold, and now today, it is a full blown cold. At least Jamie had it for one day last week and he seems to be feeling fine. Anyhow, we all had a really great time and I didn't eat too bad at the Folk Fair. I did have a piece of Marzipan cake, but the piece wasn't all that huge. It was so delicious, it wasn't even funny.
I'm pretty stressed. My Grandma had a stroke last Tuesday and after the CAT scan came back, it seems it was a mild stroke. My Mom spent the weekend up there helping out, and when she came back, she said that Grandma wasn't doing good, and that she doesn't think Grandma is going to be around for long. She is also recovering form Pneumonia so this recovery period will more than likely last longer than usual for her. I just hope and pray my Mom is wrong.

New Leaf in Looking Glass Land
This entire fall season so far, has been one big train wreck for me. Yes, I am still attempting to lose weight. Yes, I do manage, by the skin of me teeth, to keep the weight off, but I continue to bounce between two to three pounds each month. (As in up a pound, down two pounds, up three pounds, down thee pounds.) It is very frustrating, and I really do want to lose weight.
I have a motivation problem, (Like that wasn't obvious for the past year) and find that my one year anniversary with losing weight has come (and sadly gone) with out nary a glance from me. I think with the holidays coming up, that I really need to buckle down and get serious. I've been reading One Fat BitchyPoo and she and her husband have lost a combined 300 lbs and they are so motivated. If you get a chance, check her site out. (I am thinking of buying Fred's book and checking it out.) Way to go Robyn and Fred!
Last week I lost 3.5 pounds, and I know this week I ate terrible, so hopefully it all didn't pack back on. We'll see on Tuesday Night.
Thank you to Ashley in Kentucky for leaving a comment in my guest book. I had really been considering deleting my site and blog since I felt it was non-productive and not helping. Your positive comments really changed my mind and motivated me this morning. Thank you thank you! For a while I was feeling so alone out there, and just kind of blowing in the wind, but I can see that I'm not! Thank you!
