Support Groups - LO CARB # 42 Spring is just around the corner

Hey all!
The same goes here. Did w/o yesterday at the gym. I am up to 30 mins on the eliptycal machine.

Had 2 pieces of hard candy though.
Water was good.

I interview tommorrow and am I nervous. It is kinda weird interviewing an a place where you alreday work. I feel like I am under scrutiny in everything I do. Probably some truth and paranoia to that .

I am sorry about the scale controversy in your weight loss chall. Kina. How is school going?

Sue I am right there w/ you in teh chall thing. Your life still busy?

Hey all those MIA how are you all doing?

Well have a great Tues.

My Darlins....
My brain is scattered to the four winds does anyone remember who fairly recently became a travel agent? The man who has been like a father to me has just a couple of weeks to live and I must get there. I am so scattere I don't remember who became the travel agent. I am so mad at myself for allowing it to slip my mind. Under normal circumstaces I would know in an instant. I am going to meditate and center myself. I have to move quickly. I will check back later. I am so very sorry I cdon' remember.
Pam

Oh Pam,
I am not sure who you are talking about. Maybe they are at the 100# club. My prayers are with you and I am glad you are "OK". take care my friend and let us know how you are.

Good morning all,
Well I survived the interveiw
WIll hope to know by Friday whether or not I got the position. WHat a thing I have nver been interviewed by 3 people at the same time. Talk about trying to keep your head on straight. Very intense.

So we are at war. I must say, no offence to anyone that I have mixed feelings about this. We live w/i a few miles of Fort Drum where the helecopter crash happened last week. DH works there. So the military is a big part of our community. I had hoped that this could be resolved diplomatically. I just pray that it is breif. My prayers are with the solders.

Well I had cake yesterday. did w/o at the gym but let my anxiety control my eating. Intend to be better today.

Check in when you can

Our dear friend Pam is having great trouble I just found this post in the 100 club
Emergency!!! Need travel agent!!!!
Look forgive my scattered mind. My computer had a bad virus and hasn't been working at all well and currently is in the shop. I am not used to webtv anymore but here I am.
My adopted father has cancer throughot his body and they have given him acouple of weeks to live.
I need to get there and wanted to know prices for flights. The lowest I found was $313.00 for both ways and oneway was$ 404.00!!! That makes no sense to me ! I am so emotionally scattered I can't remember who our newest travel agent is. God I'm so sorry about that. I have to make a decision about this fast! Please send me an e-mail to lakotaheart@webtv.net or leave a private message so that I can talk to you. I will check back in a few hours and pray for a response. Thanks .
Pam

Lets send strong prayers her way!!! and send email off to her too!

Good morning

Hopefully Pam got w/the travel agent and is with her adaoptive father. SHe certainly has had a difficult time of late. My prayers are with her and her family.

I am OP so far this week. (it has only been 1 day LOL). Am up to 35 mins on teh elyptical machine. I like how it works the inner thighs.

Sue getting OP can be done!! we can do it and have done it!!!

heading to the gym shortly

Hey all! I hope all is going well with you guys.

Pam, if you are reading this...you are in my prayers.

Pat, Congrats on the job.

Kina???

I have been doing okay. Trying to eat clean and work out. I have definitely been more active. My arthritis is acting up and is really making it hard just to walk up hills. The knee I hurt in the car wreck is still ******ed. Other than that I am fine.

I will try to check in more often...

Well good morning everyone.

Had a graet w/o yesterday but wasn't exactly OP. Had cake. It was suppossed to be healthy cake. It was awesome!!Lo fat Natural ingredients. But it had carbs.

what a spring ! after such a long winter , i seem to be having a hard time shaking the hibernation cob webs. I am eager to get out side and start doing things but it is so wet. It doesn't help to look at the long range forcast a see snow listed.

Lo carb eating is also affected. I know it is simply lack of attention and planning. From the store to the kitchen. I am planning a garden this summer. I hope that helps in a lot of ways. I am also lazy it seems I don't want to take the time to make a salad.

Attitude, Well I know that I haven't kept the focus on myself. And while I have been w/o at teh gym at least 3 times a week. i can't expect thet the scale will move. The most I can hope for is to maintain. I also worked hard to drop the weight and inches, and they are slowly reappearing.

I need to slowing regroup and get this together. I was successful before. I have alot of knowlegde. I know what works and what doesn't.

How does everyone else feel?

Hello to to all

Check in when you can

Melody I am so glad to see your post. We can do this!!!!


hey Sue how goes the spring fling?

Pam my prayers are with you

Kina How are you?

OK! Keyboard even though i cleaned it itis sticking. and hard to type! I will get new so i can respond!!

I have new now and boy can I type!! It is almost like a dream.

I did eat a piece of cake today but that is all i have had bad since well it has been a week!! I did resist to lick the frosting from the edges of the knife. and from the plate.

I am proud of you Pat for exercising. I know that is not going to happen here any time soon but I am starting to fit into my pants again. atleast with exercising you are burning th ecalories. as far as focus you are starting a new position!! how can you focus???

Melody I got a kick out of your ******ed knee!! slow and steady wins the race!! take it one step at a time!! I know thatyou can do it. but do not expect miricles it is a tough time of the year but this is the time it usually cliks in and then it all fall in place!!

I am so happy that you got a new key board. And that your clothes are fitting better is a great feeling isn't it?
DH and I are going to a turkey function again. We are spending the night and gota jacuzzi room. Hopefully I won't fall asleep in my food. Or drown LOL.

Finding that I have no time to eat or drinkl water or pee for that matter. This week I hope the pace slows next week.

DH and I hope to do a little garage work sat. The ground is still too wet to do much else.

Hello to everyone else..

Darlin's........
I am in Illinois. I arrived on the 20th and 11 hours later my second father passed away with the ease of the angels. The funeral is over and forgive me for asking you to refer to the hundred pond club but I posted a thread thread there of length.
I am weary and ask you to read the posting there. I am doing so well you wouldn't believe it.......I am shocked!!! My health is returning like crazy. Oh by the way I now have a really great exercise machine at home and look forward to it's use by me!!!!
Don't worry I am here in Illinois and will be home April 5th so you shall all hear from me shortly after my return if not before. Love you all.
Pam

I'm sorry you guys I have been quite busy with life. I didn't mean to stay for so long.

Today was my induction to the Alpha Betta Gamma Honor Society. It was wonderful and I had to keep myself from getting all teary eyed. But of course as soon as I looked at my mom and saw how proud she was of me I started to cry. What a baby! I tried to keep myself from getting all emotional throughout the whole thing but once I saw mom I knew that was the end of it.

I also dropped one of my classes, which is the online course. It was so stressful and it was keeping me from concentrating on my other classes and was bringing my grades down. So I dropped it without any damage to my GPA.

Pam I am glad to see that things went well considering the situation. Chin up honey!

Pat I hope you are enjoying the jacuzzi...oow lah lah! *wink wink*

Sue you are the one with the new keyboard...right? Is working out?

Melody how are you doing? You know a few weeks back when we hadn't heard from you (don't think I am a nutcase) but I was so worried and I started reading your journal here. I was like reading it backwards and then at some point I went all the way to the first post you had posted. I have to honestly say I was crying most of the time and aching in my heart for you. I felt so close to your pain and yet so far. I thought that by reading your journal I would feel better about your absence but only felt worse. Even as I type this I recal some of the entries I read and I start to tear up. I swear I am such an emotional person. I guess you could say I have a heart as big as the universe. Take care my friend and always know that you are loved.

Okay I am out of here. Hugs & Smiles to you all.
Kina

Good morning all
Home again.
DH and I ahd a great time at teh turkey function. We stayed at the Bonnie Castle resort and I must say that it was probably a great place in it's day. But the 80's decor had it looking like a high class brothel. LOL.
I will be very busy today. Have to get groceries, clothes, go to work for a little while and cook. WIll be very sorry that I blew off yesterday. I am also sad that I have to buy some clothes now.

Wasn't OP, but didn't plan to be. Picked up some romaine lettuce and will see if I can commit to some salads for lunch. Got 3 w/o's in last week and I am trying to shoot for that as a minimum. Water is way out of whack.

Pam I am glad you were able to get there "in time" It seems that you have been able to stay and reconnect with family I know that you will give them strength and get replenished by that experience. Take care my friend we eagerly await your return.

Kina congrats on teh high honor you have just recieved. It's alot of work and well deserved.

Hey Sue how goes it with you. Try and post those pictures of DD. It white here again and supposed to be in the 30's for the beginning of the week. I know that I am anxiously awaiting warmer dryer weather.

Melsody how are you? Check in when you can
