FUN

Last night was fun, guys! Maybe next time we can have everybody there and find somewhere that won't kick us out 5 minutes before closing!
Yay for all of us losers!

Back on track!

I finally found my way back to the gym (and watched part of "When a Stranger Calls")
and walked 2 miles with a 3% incline at 3.8 mph. That's up from no incline and 3.5 mph. I'm getting there! Then i biked 6 miles, which was easy with the stunning suspense (?) of the movie. I used my adrenaline for that!
This morning I had a sports drink with my work-out, a protein drink when I got home, and for brunch (lunch) I had an egg with peppers, some cheese and a teaspoon of chili sauce. Late lunch will be a Lean Cuisine. More later!

OOPS- I DID IT AGAIN.......

Well, it happened again. Cam's ex-wife is suing us for the umpteenth time and I totally freaked out on my diet. We have been paying child support, sometimes late, but always paid. She kept "records" of when we paid late, and after 15 years is demanding we pay interest on the late payments. That, being compounded at 9%, adds up to almost $4000. Then Oregon Recovery Services is trying to make us pay 5 more months of child support from last year. It says right on their paper if you receive SSI (disability) it is assumed that you can't pay. Well, they don't give a rip and want us to pay up. If that weren't bad enough, she didn't even have the children we were paying for living with her! One was living with us, and has been for 21 months, and the other was living in Idaho on her own. So, I lost it. Fudge found a way to comfort me until I came to my senses. Now I'm not only bummed about all the money they want to steal from us, but I lost control again. I found out my dear friend has slow-growing ovarian cancer, and had surgery today. And then the news about Alan (my son). I'm feeling a little down, but my pity party must end.
Thanks for letting me vent. I think I burned up a lot of calories the last few minutes!
