One of my oldest friends of 30 years who is like a brother to me stopped by. Last time i saw him was 4 months ago when taking in for his colonoscopy. At that time he told me his A1C was 13 and his doc prescribed mounjaro. He has had a significant weight problem for all 30 years I have known him. He has a fantastically handsome movie star face even now at 58 and is large boned but always about 80-100 pounds overweight. Well he had lost about 20 pounds prior to seeing him in February and today i was gob smacked. He is wearing size 34 jeans!!!! He looks like he lost about 15 years of age in his face as well. He had lost another 40 pounds. He is 6’2 and 204 pounds today. The biggest takeaway from our lovely visit was something profound he said. We were talking about stress at work relating to diet and exercise and he said something like, i am very strong willed and stubborn and i just kept going no matter how bad i felt. I didnt know i could feel this good. He left our industry in January. Money isn’t everything if one feels too ill to slow down and enjoy life and movement. His A1c is now 6. Almost out of danger zone. Ive said it before, i miss my paycheck so much. I do. I can afford to be retired but if I hadn’t been forced to take a time out i would have worked till 65 im sure (if i lived that long which was questionable). But at what cost? More zero’s in the bank account, more illness, more immobility, more stress. I wish i would have at least slowed down 10 years ago when first starting on prednisone and fought harder to stay fit. Feeling fit feels much better than feeling fat. Or sick. Or exhausted. It really does. Im very grateful. Grateful for my returning health. Grateful for my friends return to a health I have never seen in him before.

Well distribution happened yesterday and they were nastier than even i thought they would be. What is wrong with people? Hubs cut them out of his life 2 years prior to MIL passing due to their ugly toxic behavior. They put his mom in such a terrible position saying they wanted reconciliation but how do you reconcile with a person who lies, manipulates, demeans and brings up things from over 20 years ago (hubs alcoholism in which he has been sober 23 years from) in order to just provoke pain. I dont understand. Yes, yes, this is not the forum for this post i get it it’s probably more of a journal for me to see what was happening in my/our life. Hubs came home upset, hurt again and angry. He kept calm and attempted to diffuse the mean things that were being said to him which probably infuriated one of them even more. It’s done. Estate distributed. Toxic people gone for now. They are his family so if he chooses to reconcile i will be civil as i have managed to for near 18 years but i think there is a special place for greedy, manipulative mean people and it is not in or lives. I know there is some jealousy over the great love between his dad and himself as there was jealousy over the relationship i had with their dad. One of them flat out told me so 9 years ago. Stupid. They could have worked on a better relationship but didnt. Just because one is related by blood does not a family always make. Big sigh here. He deserves so much better. It seems that we are the ones who have always picked up the freight when anyone in the family needed help but i am done as is he. Thank God.

Had a bad day yesterday. Bought one of those smaller size lays bags (didnt they used to be 99 cents?) now 2.69. Should have been my first warning. Ate the whole bag and 1/2 bag of chocolate chips which are the only sugar item in the house (use in protein muffins). 2 protein bars (homemade good ingredients) and oatmeal with blueberries. Super unhealthy day and feel sick today. I knew what i was doing. My child is in a lot of emotional pain and i was taking to the airport where, once landed, more pain awaits and today is the estate distribution with some really disgusting people that have challenged my patience and ability to keep my thoughts to myself for years. (Hard to do when im not shy by any means but love of hubs prevailed) Been up since 3 am so 3 hours of sleep. So im sick from the sugar and fat and grease im not used to or the lack of sleep or both. Bad food behavior. At 60 for Pete’s sakes. So annoyed with myself. I have been giving myself 1-2 pieces of chocolate here and there and been fine but nope, cannot have in the house must only buy 1 small piece if thats where my stupid, sabotaging food brain wants to live. Damn. Bad food is not the answer. I KNOW this.

Taco time fit hit bowl (veggie) and small mexi fries with guacamole im guessing. Couldnt figure out how to input in food diary yesterday. Prob the mexi fries right. Indulged myself, told hubs and he reminded me not so great for LDL and clogged arteries (mexi fries). I hadn’t even thought about that i just thought i had room in my calories yesterday. More to remember these days than just CICO
