Bad news and THE BIGGEST LOSER...

Oh my, well I’m not in a good place right now. My grandfather is dying. He got the news this weekend that he has cognitive heart failure. I know he’s upset, very upset. I can see it in his face. He’s not ready yet…I’m not ready yet. I’m not ready to let him go….seeing him like that, hearing him say that he’s the same age that his father was when he died is devastating. No one knows exactly how long he has. In speaking with my father he said it could be days, weeks, months or in some cases years. All I know is that I feel a great urgency to spend as much time with him as possible. I spent time with him this weekend and I will be stopping by this week as well. I just hope he knows how much we all love him.

All this has curtailed my diet AND my running. Something was bound to ruin my numerous months of working out, and well there you have it...but alas, I’m not discouraged. I am currently taking part in THE BIGGEST LOSER at work. We will all weigh ourselves today as the start of our weight. Then the end will be on August 11th when we will weigh ourselves again and calculate our total weight loss percentage. It’s going to be awesome! I will win. Well, I will lose weight at least because I know myself and my competitive spirit. Plus, whoever wins gets 80 dollars! Hazzah! If I win I’m buying myself new clothes for my new weight loss BODY! See, I’m already distracting myself from my distraught news.:)
