  • I've been starying on track as best I can and doing quite well. I have been hungry all the time... not cause I'm not eating enough but my belly is never full so I will admit I have given into a few treats here and there but still managed to lose a pound this week. I would LOVE to lose more than a pound a week but if that's all my body wants to lose I'll take it! Keep trying hard everyone!
  • hello all,

    i have spring break this week and several parties to go to this weekend, please everyone keep their fingers crossed for me that i can stay on track and be good. I am not drinking until Easter so I think I should be ok.

    Hope everyone is feeling better and looking towards the futrue
  • Hello-

    Bikini- I have weeks like that... where no matter what I eat I can't get full. This is shaping up to be one of those weeks. :P

    Cali- Have a great spring break! I just got off mine... I am not sure how I feel to be back into the routine... I such a great break with my bF. LOL
  • Bikini- I hate that!! I had one day last week when I wanted to eat everything in sight!!
    Aka- the tacos were great!! I think had too much sodium though
    Cal- good luck with the parties!! Enjoy your spring break!! I wish I still had one!!
  • Hey mangos

    Sorry I have been away for a bit. School seems to have taken over my life! Luckily it is starting to wind down though. I have one month left, yay! Hope everyone had a good weekend. My eating was not so great this weekend Hopefully it didn't hurt me too much. I'll be weighing in tomorrow, so I guess we will see then!
  • I sapose I could keep trying....I guess I just had an emo day...lol I am just so discouraged...I need some motivation in my life, and finishing my school was not what I needed...I just want to ask a question? Do any of you have trouble exercising when other people are home? I don't like working out when people are at home...and my mom and sisters are always home!! I can never get away from them!! It is so annoying!! I don't know why I have this problem but now that my mom and my sisters are home all the time it kills my motivation!!
  • Sharpie- I'm glad you decided to stick with us. I understand the exercising thing... I get embarassed real easy and I'm always scared my husband is going to walk in and see me working out. I know it gets hard at times but if you stick with it you WILL see the results you want!!
  • everyone.

    I have a huge decision to make concerning my job. With the economy in the crapper and people losing their jobs/homes/etc right and left, my mind is screaming to keep this job no matter how emotionally and mentally draining it is. It doesn't help at all that working for the VA is basically my security blanket. I'm trying to wait till I get my first project from the WAH position but this new boss.....I have several people I need to talk to tomorrow before I make my decision. I'm 22 and too young to be this stressed!
  • Jasonslea- I understand the stress. My job has been very stressful lately. If you need to work and have income coming in, then I wouldn't leave your job right now. My husbands company closed in November and he hasn't been able to get a job since. He can't even get a job in a restaurant or anywhere. Now his unemployment has run out and he can't get an extension. That has been more stressful than any job I've had. Hope things get better for you!!
  • Morning-
    Hey there ladies-

    I posted the week 2 results in the WI thread. I think we rocked last week!

    Let's keep up the momentum and smash the other teams in week 3! LOL

    Sharpie- Why don't you ask your mom and sister to exercise with you? If your all doing the same thing there would be no reason to be embarssed. My mom and sister and I use to exercise together when I lived at home. We would kick the boys out of the house and do whatever tape we had lined up for that night. Also you could just go for a walk outside... they would be able to see you and no one looks funny walking, right?

    Jasonslea- Are you thinking of leaving this job? I wouldn't leave until you have a new one lined up! I hope everything works out for the best!

    What are you ladeis up to today? Anything special?

    I am just at work until 1 and then I am going to go do some studying. I have class tonight at 6... Nothing interesting planned for me. :P

    Have a great day!
  • girls!

    So I talked to both HR and the union today like I planned. Found out from HR that I won't be career till my 3 year mark which is in June. If I quit before I make career, I won't be able to come back to the VA in my current grade. I would have to start over, at the bottom. I actually laughed because I had already promised myself that if I didn't get another position in the hospital by my birthday (July 29th), I would quit and now I know I can. Went to the Union with some of my complaints and he's going to have a meeting with the new asst chief and the supervisors. If this continues, we're filing a EEO grievance. We'll see what happens.

    Mama's birthday is tomorrow. Not sure what to get her....
  • Ok I'm having one of those hungry days.... I WILL NOT EAT PIZZA!!! Just wanted to get that out. Hope everyone is having a good day!!
  • Hey everyone, i havent been doing well at all, and i missed 2 weigh ins! I had no scale and no internet, but i'm back now so ill be keeping you updated. I was at home and had a week long biscuit binge but im eating well again now, just made a lovely vegie curry, had been feeling blue all day (school stress + pms i think) but cooking really cheered me up Ill have to keep that in mind next time im feeling lazy
  • Happy Weekend!
    Hey everyone.....

    I walk to my school this morning to the testing center so I could take my math test for an online class.

    I am seaching for a new apartment for my DBF and I to move into as soon as our lease is up... it ends May 31 but we are hoping to sign new lease on May 1 to move slowly... I have found one place I really like but it was a bit far away from my school... I like to walk to school- and with me starting the accelerated nursing program in Aug I should prob still be close to school... I will have to be there A LOT. he he he

    Well, I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend-

  • Hello Mangos!!
    Akacutie- I haven't got much exercise in this week... My son has been really sick so he's been hanging on me all week. He's feeling better today so I think we'll make it to the park and get some in. Good luck on the apartment hunting. That's always fun. Hope everyone is having a good week!!
