Nancy I agree, sit back and think things through alittle, put this off til after the holiday as best you can. (I know it will be hard). Hopefully, everything works out for the best for you, even if it means the end of your relationship, because you don't want to be in a relationship with this going on in the background, you are too important of a person for that to happen to you. Just take care of yourself, and breathe.
To everyone else just want to send wishes for a safe and happy holiday. And thank you all for being here to cheer for each of us when we need it, it really helps.
Merry Christmas all....Came on before and got locked up still again. So sorry for the sad tidings from Freda and Nancy. Just knew we are here and will help you get thru this, too.
Nancy, I am so sorry to hear of the problems that you are going through.. Remember though that we are here for you and if you have trouble getting on 3FC you can always come to FB!
Freda so sorry for your loss. It is always so hard and I know especially hard through the Holidays.
Thoughts and prayers are with you both.
I guess since I'm on here now and may not be able to get in tomorrow---- MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Hi everyone! Our son did not make it today so I suppose he had to work, no word from him or his gf. We spent a quiet day at home and went to the Christmas Eve service at our church this afternoon. Tonight just had an easy little meal of mini-quiche and salad. Those quiche have a lot of calories though! Then we had rice cake for dessert...it is VERY rich but so good! In all these years being married to a Filipino this was my first attempt to make it myself. He likes to cook sometimes so I've always left it to him. I thought it turned out very well...too well as it's hard to resist. But then, I'm having trouble resisting everything these days. See with MF you are supposed to transition back into eating regular foods for several weeks. I tried to do that but within a few days i started going back not only regular foods but my old bad habits. Why is is SO hard for me to break a bad habit, yet i can pickup new bad ones so easily?!! Oh, well enough of that..
Nancy - I am SO sorry for what you are going through!! And what a time for him to spring it on you! I agree with some who said to take it slow, make sure it's truly the end and also weigh your options carefully, legally and otherwise. Nancy this may sound terrible but if you determine it really is the end, I recommend you immediately move your share of the funds in your bank account(s) to your own account. Maybe I've watched Judge Judy too many times but she always says since there are no laws set up for people who live together but are not legally married and when they have blended funds it can get difficult to sort it all out and often someone gets cheated and can't do anything about it. If you qualify as common-law marriage, as Marie mentioned, that might help though. I'll be hoping for the best for you.
Slmn - I shouldn't feel deprive as I know I eat enough. I'm still trying to get plenty fiber and protein in each meal and to eat often, but I still want to snack all the time esp in the evenings. I did not do this while eating strictly MF way. I hope after the holidays I'll do better.
I'm still not feeling very well. Hate to go to the doctor because he'll see how much weight I've gained...LOL I know that's silly but I do feel that way.. Will see how I feel next week, but if this continues (more my neck and head now) I think there has to be something wrong. I'm still taking a muscle relaxant and Motrin and they help but not enough.
Wow ~ the site actually let me on this morning. I haven't been able to get it to load at all ~ have had to read and catch up with my phone ~ little screen and words. At least I can read, but posting that way isn't so good except for a brief message.
So, gonna quickly (before this thing kicks me off) wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Love to you all my friends ~ hope you have a wonderful day.
Good Christmas Hola, to all the Glorious Goldens!!
Had a lovely time at the family gathering last night, ate very little (no accolades: it tears up my tum to eat and then sit and sit and sit...), had a good time. Tonight is the ex-in-law family gathering (probably 30 of us)... looking forward to that, too!
I hope everyone has a magical day and enjoys their family and friends. I know I enjoy all of you tremendously. Nancy, I include you in the enjoying of one's family even though it may be hard. You are part of our GG family and we love you.
Back on track today. Gotta undo the damage I have done over the holidays. I shamefully must confess, that I did not behave very well eating wise.
They had a nice Christmas meal at work yesterday ~ grilled Talapia ~ I need to find some of that at the store and learn how to cook it ~ it was delicious.
I felt bad that I couldn't get on here yesterday.... I hope everyone enjoyed the day. I certainly ate, drank and was merry! Now I want to get solidly back on track. I did walkitout for 90+ minutes this morning and ate my on-plan breakfast. I am going to pack up all the remaining treats and they will go to pool with me on Wednesday. I changed my ticker back to my pre-knee problem weight. Onward.....
Donna, you still get together with the ex-inlaws? I still see mine occasionally, but I don't think I would volunteer... I had a moment of dark humor when I saw the pictures and noted how OLD my ex looks...
Gayle, I eat tillapia all the time. Grilled, baked, broiled, pan fry with a little olive oil..... We buy it at Sam's club for about $1 per fillet.
Mary, I hope your holiday was peaceful and nice, also. You will get back on track with your eating, I know it!
Marie, how was your Christmas? Are you enjoying the week off? Do you ever wonder if your body gets used to the activities? I have been thinking of reasons for the scale, lately. I think that I will change it up and do some straight aerobics alternating with walking. Maybe my body is adjusting. Going to add back in weight training on some evenings again....
Nancy and Freda. Major hugs to both of you. Freda, it was really nice to see your posts this morning.
Bobbi, how was your holiday? Did you have relatives around?
Karenfl, Love you too. How was your day?
Karen31, loved the pictures that you posted. You always have so many family members around..
Chickadee, did you have a white christmas?
Carol, how are you feeling?
Well, I have a few tasks to get done. I will check back in later. Hopefully the site will be more friendly and all our golden sisters will be back. I am going to get ready because Kenny and I are going fishing tomorrow . Yay!
Oh, well enough of that..
