TGIF? maybe not

By dylanmiles23

Hello everyone. I haven't been writing lately but I have been reading. Sorry, just been busy with life.

Today I go for a 3 month check up and I failed. How did I fail? I didn't lose any weight but stayed within 3-5 pounds of my last visit. When I go and get a fill it is very tiny under .4cc. My doctor goes slow.

 

I have not been to the gym since November but I pay every month.

Joke of the day: What do gyms call people like me, who pay and don't go? Profit!!

 

I had an ugly thing on my forehead and had it removed the other day and have 2 blue stitches. So right now bending over makes me a little dizzy. But I have gym clothes on. I bought a new 'outfit' yesterday. The real Arlene likes outfits not separates. I am nuts. When I skied many moons ago (I learned at 40) my skis, boots, poles and my ski outfits all matched and had the same colors. I am nuts. I am so nutty that I have sox to match sweaters. Orange stripes. I buy men's sox because I wear a size 12 shoe.

 

So soon I will be at the doctor's and he won't be pleased with my weight not being down. Everyone have a great weekend.

Please cheer for the NE Patriots!!!! We need a super bowl, because we are Boston Strong. Speaking of Boston Strong, that came after the marathon bombings, the RMV just approved a new license plate with Boston Strong on it! Some of the money will go to the marathon survivors.

Enjoy your weekend.

Arlene

    I don't know if I could be so patient with the tiny fills. At least you didn't gain!

    My hubby joined us up to a gym down the road. I went for a tour for the first time earlier this week. I don't think I'll be going back. It's the kind of place that just makes me feel bad about myself. I was by far the fattest person there and everyone was really....bouncy. I think I'm gonna stick to the treadmill and the park. Lol.

    I don't mind the tiny fills. I did gain 3 pounds and got no fill today. Ont eh bright side, my doctor would be fine if I stayed where I am for life. I would like to lose 40-50 more, though but then it has been over 40 years since I was that weight.

    As far as gyms go, I go around 1-2 and maybe there are 10 people there. All shapes and sizes and mostly older people. They do have a senior class but I am too lazy to get there at noon, M-W-F. I am a late sleeper. The weight room with the studs, is in the back and they walk through only and don't look at anyone but themselves.
