I'm in Oregon w/Star and jobs, the good ones at least are REALLY hard to find/get right now. I've been thinking about moving on from here but knowing how tough it is out there I'm opting to stay put for a while.

Good luck Star. I hope finance comes to their senses and just hires you! Need me to come over and give em a little kick?

LOVE2C135: Yes I do take Zyrtec....I also take it at night because they said it could make me sleepy.......I would assume by morning you have slept off any side effects. I find that my allergies in general wear me out....I am always tired.

I was kinda hoping that once my system gets used to them that my energy level would rebound. Oh well. I just have to get through the summer and then I can go back to being pill-less.

Thanks for the input!

Oh I wish...I have such terrible allergies I have to take it all year. Sometimes I am just so tired of them. My dermatologist wanted me to go the allergist again and I said what for...so he can tell me I'm allergic to MORE? I don't want to deal with shots. I just take the Zyrtec and a nasal inhaler and keep my fingers crossed that a cat doesn't hop up on my lap in the middle of a dust storm on a very windy spring day when the mold is starting to dry out!

Oh goodness Jane! That's awful. I have a friend who put off taking the shots for years and then finally started. Now I think now she only has to go in a few times a year since the meds built up in her system and no pills. I'm w/ya though on the shots. Very intimidating.

Please do, Kerri! We can count it on your equator trek miles!

DH and I have discussed moving as well. Like maybe to Texas (that's where he's from) but I just don't have the heart to do it. I like that I can go snow skiing and to the beach in the same day

Yeah, Oregon is pretty cool for diversity. I just with the sun was out a little more. I get sick of the rain in the winter. I'm loving the heat lately!

Me too! Everyone I know thinks I'm insane because as soon as it get hot, I got work outside all afternoon. I love being warm! I don't think I've adjusted to the drastic loss in personal insulation, so I've been freezing my butt off for the last 8 months. This feels good!

Ya know, I was cold all winter too. Must be loss of insulation. I've normally been too warm most of the time, until this winter anyway. Hmmm, I must really be making progress.

I'm gonna have to post and run. The ice cream will be in DH's belly tonight. No need to waste it (he's enjoying it and not having any side effects). Now I'm off to go and get the DD's (both of them) hair cut. Why can't they just grow it long?? Growing up I'd have LOVED to grow my hair--but MY dad made us always get it cut short. Now my girls have such beautiful long hair..and insist on always getting it cut short. No win situation. I just figure it's their hair and I'm not going to fight about something like that...saving my battles for the big stuff (dating) Hope you all havea great day!!

Well, geez, Kerri! You've lost 62.2 pounds so far. If that's not progress, what is?

Just popping to say hello!! Things have been crazy! It looks like it has been crazy everywhere else too.

I've been helping my DH with his night jobs. I should take a picture of myself in the electrician's tool belt. would you all be impressed? Anyway, I've been helping him wire a house and it makes for long days for us all.

Wanted to stop in and give a big before the holiday weekend just so I knew everyone was still behaving!!

Talk to you again soon!

I know it progress. It's just that I lost a bunch several years ago, and up until this attempt I pretty much stayed the same for a couple years. I hovered between 190 to 195 for close to two years. So, I think my body adjusted and is now having to re-adjust. I'm not discounting my progress, it just seems so long ago, like a different person/life. I don't know - hard to explain...

It might be hard to explain, but it's easy to understand. I look at myself just a year ago and I don't know who that person was.

Change can be such a relief. I never want to be back there. I was so closed off at that weight. I'm glad to be the me of today.
