Good Morning,

Happy October 1st. Its a beautiful crisp fall day, hope everyone is smiling.

Nothing much new here, sosdd.. I'm still playing catch up at home with the house work, etc... from being away for a few days. Amazing how fast dirt sneaks up on you lol.

How is everyone?

Good morning! It is October and focusing on looking up in spite of problems,

A happy, drop lots of pounds month to all!

(PS - in my house the dirt has not only snuck up on on me it formed cooperative units and is plotting a coup!)

I'm glad your joining in...the chicks here are sweeter than honey

I think with my selective hearing, I have selective seeing... I really only see dirt when company is coming, and its usually 10 minutes before they show up

It's definetly a brain fart day ladies.

howdy to lostbutstilltrying!

Leenie - hope you enjoyed vaca, welcome back!

Mom - are you having allergy issues? The weather does that to my allergies too.

Hope - how are you doing. Dh doing well?

Hydra - hope you enjoyed the day with your granddaughter.

Today is my Friday, which rocks. Tomorrow I leave for NY. I'm doing lunch with my parents, then heading to Alumni Weekend. Temptation will be abound, but I'm determined to stick to the plan! I volunteered to be DD, so I can't drink. Of course that prompted everyone to assume I'm pregnant. Seriously not pregnant - just fat - but thanks!

I hope to report back on Sunday or MOnday that I was a very good girl, but we shall see!

s to all the ladies!

Dh is doing very well, thanks everybody for asking. He is actually out of the house right now running a couple of errands. He still tires very quickly but feels good when he is moving. I don't know if I said but he threw his back out tuesday. Good grief, what next? He is working through that pain too.

I'm off today and tomorrow but I have to study for a test on saturday. I really wish I didn't have one so I could just hang out with him but oh well. I still have lots to be thankful for. Especially you chicks! Gonna go study a while. Check in later.

Hello ladies

I would like to join in and I'll do my best to be here daily. I am getting scared at the thought of winter coming, it is my very hard time, and it's selfish but I want lots of friends around to help me rally and I'll try to help anyone else

Hydra · 10-01-2009, 11:26 PM

I have doing ok with my mood. October is generally an up month for me. Lots of family birthdays and Halloween is my favorite holiday. I worry too about staying motivated to exercise and continue to eat healthy through the winter. I have rediscovered my love of fruit and it bums me out that the produce section at the grocery will be getting sparse. I have thought that I will doing a lot of frozen items this winter, not so much fresh.

DuckyChick · 10-01-2009, 11:42 PM

Hi everyone! I just joined -- actually rejoined -- as I am trying to get back on the wagon after a year off. I'm taking a new approach to my relationship with food and exercise this time, addressing underlying issues including my depression, so I thought this would be a great group to join.

Anyway, October is my favorite month, Halloween my favorite holiday, so it's usually a fairly up month. This year has been tough all around, however, and I'm a little afraid of what the change of seasons is doing to me right now. I look forward to getting to know you ladies better and having the best month I can possibly have!

lostbutstilltrying · 10-02-2009, 12:52 PM

Thanks to everyone for making me feel welcome! special shout out to Leenie and marbear24, everyone being so nice has cheered me up on kind of a rough day, so thanks!

TGIF !!! WHOOT

Hi Ladies,

Welcome Holly, Ducky and

to Lostbutstilltrying.

SAD usually hits me around February, I think because all the holidays are past and its still dang cold out... I'm mad by March LOL. I've read that because we don't get a lot of sun during the winter months, its good to make sure you get enough vitaman D. Some chicks are having good luck with a SAD Light (Lux 10,000+ I believe). We had a really cool thread on the lights, if you want I can dig it up.

Fridays are looooong days, I don't get home until 9 PM (I leave the house at 7:15 AM) because DD has a few activities after I get out of work, but she loves it so its worth it.

Hope everyone is having a great day

Toodles
