abbadabba's Journal, 03 May 10

Monday, Monday. What a day! Pipe burst west of here and all the water was shut down across this end of the state - BIG pipe burst!

So, my town did alright, they have a diverter that gets water from a second non-MWRA source - but my office was shut down! We were not allowed to drink the water unless it was boiled - I brought some water from home so we had coffee and drinking water for ourselves, but people had to use hand sanitizer all day instead of soap and water, and we couldn't wash our dishes. Our office just switched to a filtered tap system so we aren't buying bottled water all the time and then the manager had to go and get some bottled water for today anyway! Haha!

Anyway, I did well with eating - focused on sticking to what I brought to eat and no snacks from the machine! I have been on a plataeu FOREVER! Totally due to lack of discipline, I admit. But I haven't gone up other than fluctuating a little up and down so that's a plus.

Honestly, I am hoping to suddenly wake up about 10 pounds lighter without having to do anything specific, like counting calories, exercising, adding vegetables or anything. I will let you know if my plan works - I'll write a book and make a million bucks!

I spent a really lovely Saturday hanging out with my mom, her friend, and my aunt (and a little with aunt's boyfriend but he was cooking dinner most of the time) - very nice. They reassured me that my life will get better after my divorce, if I just maintain my positive attitude!

Hope you all had a good Monday!

You always seem to have a positive attitude so you should be just fine! :) Don't worry about the weight loss. It will come, just keep plowing forward in this plateau.

You do have a positive attitude and you are doing well. Sounds like you had a nice weekend other than those pipes. HOw nice having a man cook dinner for you. If you find another one send him over. lol I just got home from work very hungry and very lazy. Definitely do not feel like cooking. Have a great evening!

Holy smokes Abba!!! That must have been quite the pipe!! Doesn't really sound like much fun at all!! If only. If only we could simply wake up ten lbs lighter ... that would be wonderful. And if we had more than 10 lbs to lose we simply would need to wake up more than once!! Your migraine found its way to me. But fortunately it is gone now. I'm happy you enjoyed a pleasant evening ... life will get better ... and sometimes worse ... there are always good things around, even in difficult times ... which I know you already know!! Take care my friend!!

Ten pounds isn't really that much abba, a minor tweak should do the job for you.
