First of all...
Geri, I am so sorry for your loss, but I'm glad it's over. I hate that it was on mother's day too.
Cindi, I am so sorry that you didn't have a good Mother's Day. I'll leave it at that. Is the rest of your family still sick or are they on the mend?
Jessi, so glad to see you back. And let me get this straight, it wasn't one day of bad eating it was 3 days of bad eating and not only bad eating but REALLY bad eating. But that's okay, I'm refreshed today. I'm sorry to hear about the stress you're under. I'm not sure what your religion is or if you're very religious, but read the bible through these tough times. Read Job for instance, he lost EVERYTHING, but was fine through it. Or Proverbs is good. I know I've vented to all of you, but I am NOT a stressful person. Sure there are times when things start to get to me but for the most part they don't. I know it's because I know someone has it worse than me or I know that through prayer and my FAITH, which is VERY strong, we will be fine. I didn't mean to preach to you, but those are the ways I deal with stress. Hope it helps. Now you better stick around this time, that's what we're here for.
Spryng, hope your weekend with dh was PERFECT.
Penny, sounds like you had a WONDERFUL Mother's Day. That is terrific.
Michelle, you have been doing so well OP and your Mother's Day sounds like it topped everything off like a cherry.
Let me tell y'all a secret. Before I started eating well and joined this group I would wake up in the mornings hungry. Even though I would eat more during the day than even I do now, I would still wake up hungry. Well after joining and eating better, even though it's less than it used to be, I don't wake up hungry now. I haven't in a long time. But after eating so badly this weekend, I'm hungry this morning. I mean my stomach is growling. I'm not going to eat until I cook breakfast for the kids, but I wanted to tell y'all how it's funny how this works, but eating less but better and healthier keeps you less hungry. Anyway, just a motivator I suppose. Well my Mother's Day turned out pretty much like any other day. After my dh not telling me HMD,(happy mother's day), yet he walked in his family's and said it to EVERYONE else there, I had to say something. So then he said it to me, but the sincereity was not there. We did get to go riding the 4 wheeler by ourselves for a bit and then he told me HMD again. It was nice, but still didn't seem to come from his heart. I know he's not cold he's just not sensitive. I take what I can get. Otherwise the day was like any other.
Well I let my house go this weekend so I've got LOTS of cleaning to do. This week is the kitchen for the zone and I'm glad because it needs it. Plus I'll strip the beds, laundry, school and errands to run. I'll be rather busy today, but I promise to get in some exercise, EVERYDAY this week and I'm gonna put a tight cover on my calorie intake and watch VERY close. My goal is to not gain by the next WI, I know I probably gained 2 lbs. this weekend, so I've got my work cut out for me. I hope you all have a great day and I'll check in later.
