I’m sorry I missed your anniversary! You are right, every woman deserves to have someone like that in her corner, you are fortunate.

I, too, look back at my ’skinnier’ pictures and wonder how I ever complained to have been at that weight. Truth is, at the time I hated myself even though I was much smaller.

What a beautiful picture of the two of you. I didn’t appreciate my smaller size when I was there. It’s hard to keep up the momentum day after day, especially with life’s stresses.

Thinking of you Robin.

@Robin, That’s the only way we watch shows, unless we spend a buck and get a RedBox. We use a lap top in between our feet on the ottoman, a chair would work. We plug our computer speakers into the headphone jack for excellent sound. It’s a little rough until you figure out what works best for both of you. We’re tight and don’t have the $$ for cable.

Maybe you can keep fruit at work for your snacks. Then Gwen can get you the fruit whenever you need some.

We don’t eat out much, but we get delivery and take-out a LOT. We’re trying to cut back on that, not just to save money but so Brian can cook healthier meals. And it’s true — when I was much more active, I needed more calories because I burned so many. What matters is the type of food you’re eating.

Also, after a while, I learned what it feels like to be full. It’s hard sometimes, because if I especially like whatever it is I’m eating and there’s plenty left, I have to struggle not to overeat.

Sounds like you have some good work-out DVDs that you mentioned a couple of posts ago. I hope all this will work out for you. And remember — when that thyroid medication reaches a therapeutic level, you’ll have more energy and you’ll see the results of all the work you’re doing.

Robin, I struggle with being very hungry when I get home in the evening too. You are making me stop and think about that. Perhaps I need to add a mid-afternoon snack.

the internet is sooooo full of workouts and great budget friendly, waist friendly recipes! you’re doing great but I agree with the other commenter – you could up the caloric intack a smidge (if you workout) you just don’t want to burn out, or slow down your metablism…I don’t know, I’m no expert – just a thought

I can so understand this post. We have had many, many times of cutting cable, getting rid of extras, and second jobs. It’s so hard in this economy. I hope you don’t have to get rid of your DVR since you really like it.

I do a lot of couponing for food. It really helps, although a lot of the coupons in the paper are for processed stuff we don’t eat.

@Krystal, I have a question, how do you watch on the computer together? We do it occasionally but it’s always kind of awkward trying to get it so we can hear it well and it’s at the right eye level and where to sit.

@Chibi Jeebs, I know, I’m probably going to be eating more cereal, which I don’t mind really.
