I have logged in 4 45 minute exercise sessions this week and how does the scale thank me? By gaining 1.4 lbs!!! I know I was eating at or under my 1200 calorie daily allowance, I know I drank at least 8 mostly more glasses of water, my (.) came and WENT during the week so by all rights, I should have shown a drop! I did all cardio and no weights at the gym. Can you build muscle with cardio? Hmmm, I don't really know. In any event, this is another week and I am meeting with a personal trainer on Tuesday. Hopefully, the scale will be my friend next Sunday, yes?
Today is Fathers Day and as you all know it is the first for me without my Dad. I will be volunteering at our towns Seafood Festival so hopefully, I will be keeping busy. I miss my father so much it hurts. We had such a great relationship and having him gone so suddenly is very hard to deal with. I am at the point where I am seriously considering therapy as I am not dealing with this very well.
To those of you with Dads, have a great day honoring and loving him and to the rest, honor his memory and the great times you shared with him.

Jacquie- I'm sure this will such a hard day for you - just remember how lucky you are to have had such a great Dad (many people are not so lucky). Enjoy your day volunteering.
Sorry about the scale - silly hormones.
Many hugs for you today. I'm sure your father is looking down from Heaven and feeling all the love you have for him.
Thinking of you today... Dont worry about the scales I am sure its just water xxxx
I know how you feel, Jacquie. I still have my dad, but I lost my mom 7 years ago. I have been in therapy and on medication for it. I am so happy you had such a great relationship with you dad. Kudos to you for volunteering.
Thinking about you today! Therapy might be a good idea considering how quickly you lost him. Be thankful for the wonderful relationship you did have (as I know you are) and love those who are around you now!
Therapy is not for the weak...it is for those strong enough to ask for your help and you my dear, are stronger than most. I'm not sure you understand how much you are teaching all of us - about how to feel and act and heal - during a tragedy. Do what you need to do to get through each day...you are not alone. Be well, my friend.
Thinking of you and your family today and sending you big hugs.
But dealing with it by helping others is just how great you are. Therapy is always a good idea, there is no downside to talking things through. Good luck and much love x
Thinking about you today! Therapy can be a good idea. My husband had a daughter frmo a previous relationship who died at 9 months old and therapy helped him deal with it pretty well, so maybe you should give it a shot?
Take care today!!
Thinking of you Jacquie - I know that the 'firsts' can really knock you about.
Sending you a cyber *hug*
I can't imagine that therapy would do anything but help. I too am without my Dad...he passed back in 2000 so I know how you feel. Congrats on your exercise log for the week...don't worry about the scale for now...it'll catch up to you.
I'm sorry. It never goes away, but the first ones are definately the hardest. Therapy may not be a bad idea, at least for a little while. It helps sometimes to have someone to talk to who isn't involved in your everyday life.
((HUGS)) for what you're no doubt going through today, Jacquie. xx
Sorry I didn't post this yesterday, but you were in my thoughts. XO
