Gloria's Diary

Talking to my friend this morning on the phone, I've agreed to do something mad – go swimming with her a week next Friday. Now, for one, I can’t actually swim. And secondly, I don’t own a cossie, so it’s a trip down to Evans on Monday I think. God knows how I’m going to look with my baggy and stretch-marked thighs – they are a real embarrassment to me. I really don’t know anyone who has them quite so bad. The rest of the body, I don’t mind though.

I had two busy days and I missed posting, so I’m doing it today instead. I only got one walk in yesterday as it was so cold and snowing. I slipped a bit on the diet and went for the junk, so I’m not looking forward to my weigh-in tomorrow.

Still trying to get stress-free, as that’s what knocks me every time and makes me reach for the bread and sandwiches. But I think the hubby will have to go before I’m free of that! I’m going to drag myself out in the snow for a walk now, and I’m not looking forward to it one bit, but I know it has to be done.

Hiya all. I came on to check my mail today and was stunned to have heard from so many of you at my e-mail address. It was such a pick-me-up that I decided it was time to come back in here and see what’s been going on.

I haven’t even had the nerve to weigh-in the last two weeks because I know it’s going to be bad and I don’t want to see that. I also feel a real let-down to you all. My friend has promised to get me out starting Monday whether I like it or not, and I think that’s what I need.

I’m so glad you all remember me. I’m going to try and log in every day, because it’s a wonderful feeling to know people out there do care, even if we don’t really know each other. Thank you so much. I'll be back tomorrow.
