Hi Girls, I will catch up soon :(


HEATHER HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luv yah's

Hey ladies,

Thought that I would mention that Oprah's show today is dedicated to depression if you can catch it. Here in VA it is on at 5pm. Hope it's a good one.

Heather: What did you do yesterday? Hope it was fun.

Got to run and do a couple things. I'll check in later.

:hug: 's to everybody.

Hi everyone!

Happy belated birthday Heather!!! I hope you had a good one!!

Hope, are you feeling better?:hug: I'm sorry I don't have any words of wisdom, but just hang on and things will work out.

Thankfully there is still not much happening here. Went for a walk again this morning. Not much but its something. Still don't have much motivation, I'm blaming it on TOM right now ;)

Anyway I should toodle and get last nights dishes done before kids and hubby get home and wonder what I've been doing all day.

Take care everyone,
K

Hey Buddly,

TOM sure gets around, he's visiting me this week as well. Good job on the walk. Two days in a row!!:carrot:

My fiance and I had a long talk at lunch and I was telling him how guilty I feel about not getting a job right away and being so unmotivated around the house. I'm always afraid since he doesn't have depression he is going to get fed up with what looks to most like laziness. He admitted that at times he has been upset, but that he is coming to understand more and more. He said it is forcing him to look at himself and how he handles problems and stress and it is opening up a new way of looking at a lot of things. He told me just to take care of myself and get better. The job will come soon enough. THANK GOD HE DOESN'T HATE ME! I feel very lucky.

I have made some progress. As I said I'm not immoble anymore, and taking care of a few things that I've let slide for too long (simple errands or household things, bills, etc). He has noticed all these things and is hopeful.
Next step for me is a Dr.'s visit and a psychiatrist to finally find the meds that will work. I hope with that in place I can work on this weight thing.

Catch you all later.

Awww, thanks you guys - you are AWESOME!!!

I'll post properly tomorrow - Hope, so glad you're feeling better for that talk with your other half :hug:

Thank you all for the birthday wishes - I love you guys!!!

Heather :D

TGIFFFFFF GIRLS TGIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Will chat more tomorrow. Today I need to leave work early to go to a funeral, my friends 95 year old mother passed away...poor little thing.

So my little chicklets and chickadee's..... I'll chat with you all tomorrow morning.

Luv yah's !!!

KEEP SMILING :D

Morning all - here I am, back from MIA! :D

I had a quiet birthday, and then a very busy day of running-around yesterday, and it was SOOOO fabulous to come on here to all the good birthday wishes from you fine people - I cannot tell you - yes, I can: LOTS and LOTS!! - how much strength I gain just from being part of this group - THANK YOU!

I had lunch out on my birthday and ordered salad, then hubby took me out for a Thai meal - that was harder to choose wisely, but I had a green curry with prawns, eggplant and green beans, ate less than half the rice, and left most of the soupy curry SAUCE in the bowl. I was quite proud of myself, really!

Now, to be honest, I don't tend to suffer TOO badly from cravings, but that evening, boy - you know what I wanted? DAIRY QUEEN! (evil, evil, evil...!)

You know what I did, don't you? I walked to Dairy Queen (cause you know, better than driving... ummm... well...) and had one of those new 'Chocolate Covered Strawberry Waffle Bowls'... oh my goodness... 700 calories, according to Calorie King :dizzy: But I decided to eat it, and enjoy it - hey! It was my birthday!

So, I was over my calorie limit for the day by 600 calories, and up half a pound yesterday, and seriously? I DID enjoy it! :D So yesterday was a mega-water, low-cal, low-fat day, and I am back down to Wednesday morning's weight. I'm okay with that, for sure! (just in case you're interested, I did think about just having a Buster Bar, cause they're not TOO huge... but they are over 500 calories, and I just thought: in for a penny... :D)

So - enough about the Evil Dairy queen - how are all you guys???

Heather :)

:) Hi

Liz

Tom doesn't visit me anymore, but that doesn't make losing any easier. I have spent the last month gaining and losing the same 2 pounds. Sometimes, I just want to quit, but then I know I would take a chance in gaining more weight, so I am sticking to it, but grumbling about it.

TGIF Everyone!!!:wave:

Another beautiful day! Boy am I liking this sunshine and yes we went for another walk this morning!! Three days in a row. I use to do it every morning, but got right out of the habit. Unfortunately this wonderful weather has brought out the pollens which are torturing poor A and I've been getting sinus headaches. I feel bad about poor A's nose, but I wouldn't change the weather for anything right now!

Hope, I'm glad you had a good talk with your fiance. My hubby and I met in high school so he knew from very early on how up and down I was and he still took me on:dizzy: Good luck with the doc. Oh and thanks for the heads up on Oprah yesterday. I watched it and found it really interesting.

Heather it sounds like you had a really nice birthday. And if you can't have a controlled splurg once a year then whats the point? This is a lifestyle, I personally like the 80 - 20 rule, gives everthing balance.

Hi Betty! I know what you mean about those same 2 pounds, I can't quite seem to shake them either, I get on the scale one morning and its Yah I broke through and then they reappear the next morning. We can't give up though!

Hi Liz and Leenie!!

Well I should get going, A and I have to run to the dump, I'd let the garbage walk there on its own, but it would probably get lost, we may need clothes pins for our noses in the van though:dizzy:

Take care everyone and have a wonderful and safe weekend,
K

Good Morning,

Welcome Betty :welcome: glad your here.

Sassy good job on the zoo :D Which zoo did you visit? I love zoo's, the last one I went to was called The CatSkill Game Farm...it was there for 73 years and the year I went (last year) was the last one, they sold the farm and moved the animals to other places. Anyway, thats where I saw my very first giraffe OMG, I fell in love with those animals instantly...they are beautiful.

Buddly the pollen count here is very high as well, my makeup just won't stay on LOL... hang in there and give DD some soft tissues ;)

Heather I'm so glad you had a great birthday. Dairy queen isn't bad if you get a soft vanilla on a cone, SMALL of course... I think I read that its 150 calories b/c its got alot of air in it ??? we love that place too but rarely go b/c once you start OY!!!! and its only 1 block from my house :fr:

Hope I'm glad you talked to your DF and thats awesome that he is trying to understand whats going on. I truly believe once your on some good meds its gonna turn your world around for the better. Your doing wonderful...one step at a time :hug:

:hug: LIZZZZZZZZZZZ, CATHY !!!!

Welll girlies, its cleaning, cooking, shopping and swimming this weekend :D thats about it. 3 days of ahhhhhhhhhhh no work ;)

Don't forget 3FC is gonna be closed tonight for some spring cleaning ;)


.

:) Hope everbody is having a great Memorial Day weekend.

I wish I had something exciting to talk about, but alas, no. My fiance is still working long hours and I'm still in the house. I would have liked to have gone home to visit my mom this weekend, but it is hard with his work and a sick pooch. Traffic is bad this weekend anyway. Maybe I'll get a chance later.

Check in later...

Good Morning,

Have a great Memorial Day all !!

I didn't get as much done this weekend as I'd like to have. With the pool open forgedaboutit lololol.

Hope the traffic friday was HORRIBLE here, took me 1 hour to go one mile. Don't blame you for not going. I guess today and tomorrow will be hairy too.

Today we hae to go to the new balance store to get some good sneakers, I want to start walking at lunch but have the crappiest sneakers and my feet hurt soooooooo. Also our washing machine is leaking like crazy, we put a few $$$ into it two years ago and to put more into a 12 year old machine would be a waste so we are gonna look at new ones.

Other than that, .... well... thats enuf LOL
Watcha all doing?
