This Trucker Fights Back

Not open for further replies.
I shoveled in 4 segments yesterday to keep the burden off my back and heart but now comes the true test, the plow finally came and buried the front of my car (standard) so I'm off to go out and undo that mess - even though it's suppose to snow another 6 inches here today. The old me woulda never shoveled the driveway, just rocked my car back and forth until I got out of the driveway or wait till April when the snow melted - whichever came first.

I have a dentist appt. for my final impressions today and I don't want to miss it if at all possible.

I agree with the 'incentive' part too DQ. I almost added if anyone had leaks in their diet, a trip like this would probably fine-tune it. I rarely, if ever worry about Debi though so I didn't write it.

My personal take on my own confidence is 'iffy' at times - it's just the nature of this beast. Some days I just have to look at my obese pics and gauge myself for reality reasons. I know this time off hasn't hurt my waistline at all but mentally it's killing me. Like I posted earlier, sometimes the mental state of this journey can get askewed for various reasons and I'm not exempt from the confident swings anymore than any other morbidly obese (former) person.

I hear ya T, I seem to have a slight case of the mid-winter blues here. Nothing too bad, just kinda bla...Oh well, onward we march, right?

Hope you are doing Ok with all the snow T, I shoveled last night and used the snow blower this morning and now there is another 6" again. Not sure what our total for the past 24 hours have been but it is a lot.:(

hi,
sorry I haven't been around much. Just been trying to tweak recipes that'll actually work with my restrictions. You know I think sometimes I'm too much of a perfectionist and I'm not able to post things I make that aren't perfect. :) I think last night's dinner went well though. :)
Looks like you're doing great as usual. What kind of soup?
Oh, and awesome on the fast food thing. I'm thinking that's probably going to be me here too.
 
Happychubette: That was an awesome compliment and you deserve it. Also for avoiding the fast food places.

Thank you Happy :) I will make that one year mark on the fast food free come hell or high water. It is written :D

Same here bro, totally winter blues. The spine on my 'snow blower' is a lil sore today but we got it all done. Speaking of done, keeping my fingers crossed the snow is done too. I measured ours, 13" all told - that's enough for one winter in my opinion. I totally pwned my shoveling duties, it felt great to feel like a man again instead of being some fat fucking slob too helpless to take care of such a chore. Oh yeah, onward we march - make book on that ;)

I just want my walking weather back !!


Iwan naloseit: Couldn't agree with you more here. Happy V Day, love!

No need to apologize, not all of us are professional forumers LoL !! *raises hand in guilt*

*also raises hand in guilt over the perfection thing* yeah I wanted the perfect trip on this journey but found out it just doesn't happen that way, in return I've learned to be a lil kinder to myself (haha, not really) and to others on here (judge accordingly).

Ugh - the soup !! frig, it would probably take me 3 days to find it in here now, Pequin dubbed it the "Truckers Stew" (complete with pictures and nutritional breakdown). It's a family hand-down recipe from the depression era basically a tomato soup with a pork base and all things good from the garden.

M2M: And Megan liked your avatar - but then, she LOVES Calvin

Good Morning Debi :) I'm not surprised she LOVES Calvin, it's a reflection of great parenting !!

It's a shame Watterson gave up on his strip over the reason he did, I think he robbed many-a-generations of good laughter but I do see his point - kinda..

Yeah, she must have every Calvin book out there.
She has a warped idea of what a babysitter is like ;)

And I know I can google it, but it's still too damn early - why did he give up the strip?
 
His merchandise was ripped off extensively and he didn't set well with the pee'n thing so he took a stance on the matter and banished the toon :(
