Hey all!

I hope that everyone has had a great day... Yesterday after I got a shower and rested for a few minutes I was well enough to get ready for work and about 3 hours later I was alright again.
Thanks for all of the well wishes!!

Today has been busy, and not a very good diet day I hope tomorrow will be better.
What do you all do to recover from an eating slump?
Well, I gotta get going!

Later ladies!

I get from a eating slump by telling my self it is over and just start fresh!

You cant undo what you have done you just have to walk away from it and start clean....

You can do it!

I am on the same boat as you..... so we can start fresh together!

Great Saturday Morning Everyone!

How is everyone? We seem to be getting quite....

This weeks has been crazy for me.... trying to get so much done because I start the actual real estate classes next Wednesday and trying to get that all done....

THen work has been a bummer.... trying so hard to be motivated and keep working but when You no longer want to be there.... no longer believe in what you are doing...you wonder why you are doing it???? oh yeah - I have bills to pay!

Havent been doing to well on the diet and exercise.... havent felt like I have had the time for it.... time management is a big problem of mine..... I am going to sit down tomorrow and make myself a schedule for the week.... I am really going to have to be deligent about this for awhile because I wont have time to spare really.

Beth- How is the house? Are they almost done on the garage? Do you have your life back yet?

Lavender- How are you doing? Have you had anymore incidence at the gym? How are you liking the Dr Phil Book and Forum?

Red Balloon- How are you doing? How is the bodybuilding going? Is work still as stressful? I hope everything works out for you soon with work.

Rainbow- I havent been able to see the picture of your daughter. Would live to see it if we can figure it out.

LKB Angel- How are you and your daughter doing? Have you found out anything more? Know that I am keeping you in my prayers.

Orange - How are you doing? We miss you!

Pye Pye- How are you doing? We are missing you too!

ANyway, Well September is almost over and right now I weigh less than we I started September so that is going in the right direction.... also feel like I am really starting to pay attention to my life and trying to figure all this out.... I am in hot pursuit of happiness in all aspects of my life.... not just the weight, but with work and personal, etc..... Nothing like trying to tackle everything at once.

We will get a new thread in October..... YEAH!!!!

Hello Ladies!

How is everyone?
I am doing pretty well.. I was just reviewing my week and realized that I have worked out 5 times this week. I guess I did not do as badly as I thought! But, still, I don't think it will equal out my eating for the past week. I have been doing pretty well today tho, so I guess all is not lost.
Next week I start a spinning class, I am going to try to go twice a week (tues. & thurs).
I have my last test before my final Monday night, so I am a little nervous!
Nothing really new or exciting is going on here... what about the rest of you?
I hope to hear from ya'll soon!

Hello Everyone!

Okay....I am trying once more with my daughter's homecoming pictures.

If neither of these links appear to work -- then copy and paste the URL. Geocities is really weird that way -- sometimes it only works if you copy and paste.

I have recovered from this event (thankfully). Dinner is included in the Senior prom bids -- so I won't have to do anything then.

Other than that -- today I've spent time getting back on track from my "planned day off" yesterday. It was my husband's birthday and we celebrated with a nice at home dinner party.

Now I don't anticipate any more occasions coming up until Thanksgiving. I would write more -- but have my hands full at the moment. Something is going around (I think it's flu) and my daughter is ill. I've spent most of the day taking care of her and trying to make her a little more comfortable.

Hope you all had a great diet day!

Hi everyone. Sorry I've made myself so scarce recently. I'm still busy and just wanted to jump in and say a quick hello and I've been thinking of you all. The weightlifting was going very well until Friday but the past two days have been a loss. And I've been pigging out on sugar after three sugarfree weeks. It's been four days but seems like 14. I'm back on the wagon tomorrow though so wish me luck. I'll try to get back to each of you later. Take care. Bye for now.

[Angel26519]

I am joining you on that sugar free bandwagon tomorrow Red! I have got to get back on.... I know that I am starting to stress eat again and I have got to stop that....

My boss called me Friday and wants to meet Wed Morning.... very hush hush like..... I am terrified I am about to get laid off.... no word yet but I just get this feeling.... UGH!!!!

Rainbow- Your daughter is beautiful.... I love that dress. It was gorgeous. I am glad you have recovered.... tell hubby "Happy Birthday" from the fat chicks I am sorry to hear your daughter has the flu.... mine went through it last week.... came home from school on Wednesday and stayed home Thursday..... she is feeling better just has the sinus gunk now....

Anyway, I am off to study real estate... classes start Wednesday!

Just a quick Hi! Things are not back to normal here and I don't really want to get into it right now. But I am just not feeling myself these last couple of days. I am TOM this week and just feel yuck! So when I feel better and more like chatting I will be back! Until then hang in there and hope you all are well.

Beth- I hope everything gets better for you soon!

Just a quick note because I am on a time crunch!

My diet has been the pits.... stress is really getting me....

Had a bad dream Saturday that I got laid off this Tuesday.... which is the end of our physical year end. Woke up Sunday in a panic.... Cried alot in church and was stressed all day.... but last night I started realizing that if it happens it happens, me stressing out isnt going to change that. I also figure if I do then God is telling me to concentrate on the real estate and go that way.....

I feel better today (at least for now)!

Hope everyone else is doing Great!

Hi Everyone!

Hope all is well!

Been working through this Dr Phil book and I am actually having lots of light bulbs lighting up.... I am on the emotional stuff at this moment and am realizing all the things that I say to myself and how awful I truly am to myself.... I would never treat my friends this way.....

The weather here has just been fabulous the past few days....I actually stopped working yesterday around lunch time and dragged my neighbor out of her house and made her go for a walk with me.... I almost did it again around 3 but kids came home and house became chaos.....

While my diet has been the pits in that I am not really whatching what I am eating I realized something interesting.... I am not sure whether it is the hynosis tapes, the reading of Dr Phil and understanding more of the emotional eating aspects or what is working but I am not craving my sweets anymore.... Sunday I was very stressed all day and when I was at the grocery store I thought I would get dessert for dinner.... I looked at all the pies and cakes....nothing jumped out at me... heck even Blue Bells Dutch CHocalate Icecream didnt call my name... and I could eat that on my death bed.....also when I go over to my friends house the tradition has always been to grab a COKE and a mini candy bar (she has several candy jars all over)... lately I have been craving a glass of water... so while I am there I am drinking about 3 glasses of water.... big change for me....

I am really starting to feel changes happening in me.... I really think I may be able to do this this time..... I am in no race... I just want to reach the end.

How is everyone else doing? Beth- How is the maintaining going?
