This has been a very sad week.   On the good side, we’re healthy and well.  Hubby made it back safe and sound from the senior class trip to Disney on Monday night with only about an hour or so delay.  Angelgirl and I were very happy to have him home. 

Now for the sad news, our dog, Murphy, passed away early Wednesday morning.  She had been failing for a few weeks – not eating much (only a little bit of thin sliced turkey if we hand fed it to her) and she was not able to walk much – we carried in and out and kept her water dish near her.  She was very old, 15 and half years old.  She was half beagle and half miniature collie, with the sweetest, gentlest nature.  She passed quietly in her sleep.  We will miss her a lot. 

 The so so, general news – I’m still enjoying Entrecard, but trying to find the time to keep up with blogging and dropping is tough since I have two main blogs that I try to update daily and two others that  I co-author and try to post on at least twice a week (I’d like to do more – there just isn’t enough time, energy, or creative energy in my brain for daily on all 4).

My food intake has been eratic this week, not only has it been hectic, but physically I was exhausted from the time hubby wasn’t here and all the running around I had to do, and emotionally it was a hard week, so I know the weighin tomorrow is going to be a disaster (again).

One of my favorite bloggers and a great artist too, Lizzy (blog FatLadySingz) is giving Ultra Lite (a diet program) a try.  I’m will be interested to see how it goes for her.  I need to find something new and get back on track and get very structured again.  The inflammation and water gain has been discouraging since January, and I have slowly found myself slipping a bit more and then a little more – which is a dangerous slope to be on.  No matter the weight gain from heart failure, water retention, chronic inflammation – I can NOT let that distract me from keeping on track and eating healthy no matter what the scale says.
