A Gain and a Painful Loss

It's with a heavy heart that I write to let you know that my baby girl, my sweet friend Mia is gone.  We had her put to sleep on Thursday and I just got up enough strength now to write about her.  I wont go on and on, but I miss her terribly.  I don't want to make everyone sad so I will just say that.

So, with the stress of this loss, I have not made very smart choices with my food the past few days.  I kept telling myself, that Mia would be pissed at me for eating this or that, but it didn't stop me.  I needed comfort and it came from my other old friend......food.  In the end, I only felt worse and today have been doing well, and I think Mia would be proud of me for pulling myself together!  

Oh,  I did go out and buy myself a purse and matching wallet, which made me feel better too.  I'll try to continue the shopping binge instead of food from now on, if I feel the need :) 

I bought this beautiful almost new Vera set on a site called Varage Sale.  It's a virtual garage sale site in my area!  I "bought" in on Friday, and paid for it and picked it up this morning.  Well, Greg actually bought it, he said Mia wanted me to have it :)    He is the best! 

So, anyway, today is my weigh in day, and here is the result..............

Since I do not recognize the points on my weigh ins,  this is a 1 pound gain.  It could have been worse, it could have been better, no excuses, just a gain.  I'll do better this week!  Mia says I will :)
