Weight Loss Challange Oct. 20 - 27th(?)

New thread for the week, folks. I have so many posts to go back and read or reread to make sure I actually do know what is going on with everyone. As I said in the last post I made on the other WLC thread, I have been so busy that by the time I am in the house I just vegetate in a chair. Sometimes I listened to some TV, sometimes not.

I'm going to go to the cafe' in just a bit and work a double shift today. Their church is having a fish fry tomorrow and they are all busy working on it so I'm needed to keep the cafe' part going. I don't think there are many dishes left to do thanks to Dennis. He is such a sweet person. If I was looking for a man he would be way up on the list, but I'm not looking for a man in any way shape or form. I have decided the only person I am truely compatable with is myself. I see those ads about online mate searching and one asked if you would like to see who you are compatable with. My immediate answer was "No, because I'm only compatible with myself and sometimes not even myself". No one could ever come into my life after all those years with Jack. Not even as a friend. I feel so uncomfortable and like a trapped aniamal when I am alone with a man even in public places. I just want to go find Jack and get away from them. Of course he wouldn't notice a man coming on to me because he never did that kind of thing. I would sometimes tell him that someone had done it right in front of him and he hadn't even noticed! He just was incapable of thinking like that.

Anna, there was a woman on TV yesterday(we watch TV when we eat lunch at the cafe')who is a power lifter. She is 68 years old and lifted 225#! Then said that ANYONE can do that if they just really believe they can and train for it. I think that is a rather broad and not well thought out statement because it just is NOT true. Not EVERYONE is physically capable of that kind of thing, including yours truely. I can believe all day but it won't make my body do that kind of lifting anymore. I don't think I could even in my best days. 150# of feed at a time was my vey top weight load as far as I can remember. There are days now when 5# is almost too much for one hand.

Something else, Anna, has the price of raw milk gone up much lately? The prices in the store for milk products has really skyrocketed so I just wondered. The cafe' has had to stop putting out much cottage cheese and no shredded cheese at all on the salad bar because the prices have gone up by 50% even at Sam's club & Aldis. I have noticed it but buy so little that it hasn't affected my shopping a great deal. I may have to start buying blocks of cheese and shred them myself. I know that is less expensive.

I need to leave and go to the cafe' now. Waving to everyone, praying for all of you and cheering you on. GOD bless and keep each and all of you.
