    Marvelous Magnificant March - week 2

    Good morning Marchers!

    :yay: CONGRATS PAPMOM ON YOUR 10 AF MONTHS :wd:
    Feels good, doesn't it?

    My big dog couldn't care less about thunder, the noise from the cow country gun club a few miles away or even the munitions going off at the military base in Aberdeen, MD
    Wwhich I can hear if the wind is blowing in this direction). But my other dog immediately retreats into my stall shower for protection :H
    I just plucked a tick off Maxie's head this morning so I guess that means Spring has arrived

    John, I wish you good luck on your run this weekend in the beautiful FL weather

    Time to pull the mud shoes on & see what I can accomplish outside today!
    Happy Fat Tuesday :banana:

      Marvelous Magnificant March - week 2

      Hi guys
      I hope you are all having a wondeful Mardi Gras.
      My day has been pretty fantastic and I wanted to share some good news for once.

      I had a meeting with my ex husband this morning and yes the same old feelings were there and never change, I adore this man more than anything in the world and after 7 years apart not one ounce of love has been diminished. But it is what it is and I accept it... (sorry im digressing). He has paid the mortgage on my home and has guaranteed that it will be safe for the next 18 months!!!

        OMG Chilli!! That is the most fabulous news I have heard in a long time!! I am so freaking happy for you I could cry!! Yep, I am!!

        Thanks you everyone for the good wishes and very kind words! I can't beleive I forgot today was 10 months even tho I was writing the date all day long! It's funny because this weekend I was so excited about it :H

        EW-definitely give the L-glut a try. I don't open the capsule, just pop them in. I haven't found the non capsule powder form yet but I have a sneaky suspiciaon I can get it at whole foods. There just isn't one near me. I've never seen L-glut at my Walmart-I have to go to a nutrition store to get it but it's by Sunray or something so I know it's a good brand. Good luck! It will take a few weeks to take effect.

        John-I knew you were running your race this weekend but somehow I missed you were doing it in FLA! Lucky you! Will pray for perfect weather for you and all the other runners!

        It's been a super long day capped off by Zumba and then an ungodly commute home and I haven't eaten yet so zoom zoom and I'll see you all tomorrow!!

          Good evening Marchers!

          Chill, that's wonderful news and must be very comforting for you.
          Lav, nice to hear you went out trekking in the mud!
          Pap, and all others I missed today, hope you have a wonderful day!!

          I'm off to bed early tonight.

            Good morning on Ash Wednesday....

            Chill, what wonderful news for you, thanks for sharing. I understand about loving someone so much, I have loved my husband for my entire life, absolutely, even when he messes up.

            Busy day at work today, then tomorrow, I get off early to head to my daughter's as she will take me to the airport on Friday. I have alot to do tonight, it will be so nice to have several days off. I really need it. I noticed that part of my self care is to have something to look forward to, so after this trip, I will plan something in May. I am still getting craving thoughts in the afternoon, but keep in mind that in the morning I want to feel good. I love being AF and want to continue this lovely way of life.

            Spring is definitely trying to make a stand, 40s and rain today, it will take alot to wash away the dirt and grime of winter. The daffodils are coming up and there is hope.

              "Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards. When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago, I tell them that absolutely the most important thing was changing what I demanded of myself. I wrote down all the things I would no longer accept in my life, all the things I would no longer tolerate, and all the things that I aspired to becoming."Anthony Robbins

              When I read the posts of the most successful folks on this thread, I realize that the above quote is exactly what they have done. Congratulations to everyone for their accomplishments. Special congrats to you, Papmom, on your 10 months.

              I am having trouble with sugar cravings too and have decided to try the l-glut. I tried it early on but I don't think I took a strong enough dose as I only took 1 1000capsule a day. I am going to try the powder and take at least 2 servings a day.

              Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. May we all accomplish our goals for Lent and may we each achieve a greater level of spirituality and peace in the process.

              Dont forget, you can: start late, start over, be unsure, try and fail AND STILL SUCCEED!

              If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse.

                Good morning Marchers! Dill, that quote is right on. I really feel that success on this journey takes demanding it of ourselves. No options!

                Funny about sugar, I was at my sisters last night eating Pizza and she gave me her last "Dove Bar" as she is giving up sugar for lent as she decided she has an addiction there. So funny, because she has no problems with AL at all, and is really quite slim, but the relationship she described with sugar sounded just like many of the addiction stories I've heard here and experienced myself with AL! So, I said I supported her, and I'm continuing on my AF journey for lent as well. And I happily took the Dove bar and went home!

                Have a wonderful AF day all!

                  Morning everyone,

                  Chill - that is wonderful news - I'm happy for you.

                  Dill - that sounds like a good idea - writing everything down like that! Was toying with the idea of starting a journal (electronic/password protected, of course) at home to kind of keep track of my thoughts and this journey. Really like that quote.

                  Star - I agree - having things to look forward to is really important right now.

                  Mylife - Yikes - I have given up chocolate for Lent and hope I can do it!

                  EW, mylife, Lav, papmom, and everyone else who stops by - hope you have a great day!

                    Good morning Marchers!

                    Missing the sunshine as big rain is scheduled to move in later - oh well!

                    Dill, that quote was awesome. It reminded me of my own mindset when I began this journey. I was just so darn tired of disappointing myself (let alone the others around me). I immediately adopted the 'Drinkling is not an option mentality'. That is what worked for me!

                    Star, I can relate to your comment to chill. I too have loved one man since one week past my 16th birthday & that is not going to change anytime soon. His mental/emotional issues have been hard on me but not a deal breaker.

                    I'm starting to get a feeling that Jolie & I are practically neighbors.....just across the state line from each other. I'm envisioning lunch sometime?

                    Wishing everyone a wonderful AF Humpday!

                      Hello everyone! I just got back from Mass, I have the ashes on my forehead and a prayer in my heart that starting today I will be AF forever.

                      Congratulations on all the great news, and thank you for the wonderful ideas like writing down thoughts and feelings on this journey.

                      Have a great day everyone!

                          Hello Marchers, this is seriously weird, I wrote a long post yesterday congratulating Papmom on 10 months, and Chill on having her house and I said hi to English Writer and I said that my dog was deaf so the thunder no longer bothers him ....and I probably rambled on much more .....and its disappeared!

                          I was here honestly and in quite a good mood too

                          Rusty just what is a raunchy motel? Whatever goes on there?

                          I have visitors arriving tomorrow till Saturday so may be absent - but I'll be back at the weekend. Take care one and all

                            Hiya Rusty! :h I'm alway's around.

                              I have been a bit of a stranger recently..I am just trying to spend less time on the computer.

                              I am seeing daffodils so it means spring is in the air. Yippee! I really need to get rid of my surplus weight!!
