Snoopysgirl - :welcome: It sounds like you've got a lot on your plate! Congrats on the new addition. :bb:

Hope - WTG :bravo: on your WI! Did the meeting center on Superbowl? Any great ideas? I am so very sorry to hear about your friend, and the uncertainty this will cause. My prayers will certainly be with you, and I can't help but think that maybe one of the apps you did last week will pan out!:flow1:

OK girls, I gotta fess up - I'm pooped today, and am not in very good spirits :stress:. I can hardly hold my head up, I'm that tired. :faint: I've been trying to prioritize getting activity in, but I overdid it a bit yesterday. I worked out at the gym with a friend after work, walked to the post office twice (ok, thats not THAT far), rode my bike to/from school and took my dog for a 1.5 mile walk last night. My homework is getting overwhelming; I spent like 2 1/2 hours on it last night and even then I feel like I'm falling behind. Gaaaaaaa.... I was so tired that I could hardly follow what was going on in class, so now I feel even more behind. I really need a day off, but if I take one, I'll be even further behind - how long til the weekend?

Yours in sleepiness,

Amarie

Hi Gurls!!!
 

Wow - you all have a lot going on... I have a busy day, but love to you all - :grouphug:

Heather :wave:

Hi all!

Sassy!!!!!! :hug: Welcome back, sorry your back is still hurting :(

Have a great day all! Still struggling to stay awake here, but TOMORROW IS FRIDAY!!! Hooyah!

Good morning ladies:wave:

Sassy I'm so glad you came back. Sorry about your back, hope you feel better soon.:hug:

Welcome back Snoopysgirl! Congratulations on the new baby! I was going to suggest going out for walks as that really helped when I had PPD, but then I saw how out numbered you were and knew that wouldn't be practical;) Just hang in there! Looking forward to getting to know you.

Hope sorry to hear about your friend and the job uncertainty. Congrats on the weight loss!!And congrats on winning your pool match!

A big Hello to Heather, Leenie, Amarie, Cathy and everyone else :wave:

Not to much new here. Hubby has been home all week, so that is a little trying. I sure hope things pick up soon. One nice thing with him being home today was that he was able to drive me in for my blood tests. The roads are fairly slick so it was nice not to have to worry about that.
ddB has her grad portraits this afternoon and its still snowing. My weight has sort of stalled, the only good thing is its not still going up.

Well I should go and try to get something done. Oh and stick some hot rollers in my kid's hair:s:

Take care everyone and have a wonderful day,
K

Hi Girls,

Sassy.... you and I have to get on a plan...both of us with bad backs. We'll have to chat.

I gotta get DD to bed.... See you tomorrow.

:wave: to all you lovie dovies ;)

.

Morning Gurls
 

FRIDAY!!!FRIDAY!!!!FRIDAY!!!!FRIDAY!!!!

Well chickies! I did it - took the dogs for an am walk today :cheer::cheer::cheer: They sure liked it! Special thanks to Cathy for the inspiration and every one else for the encouragement. Heather, I really DO feel like a morally superior dog owner :rofl: Well, at least I will if I take 'em again tonight.

I went to bed EARLY last night, and I think it may have kicked the last of my fatigue. Its friday!!!!! Oh, did I mention that already :lol:

Have a glorious day!

Hi everyone!

Feeling a little rough today, but wanted to pop in and say HI! and that I'm thinking of you all!

Take care,
K

Hi Girls,

Just a quick hello....will post more tomorrow.

Sassy noooo not a kick (we might hurt our backs :lol3: ), just some planning we can do together.

:wave:

Hello! *shy wave* I guess this is the chat thread? I'm new here, so I don't really know what's going on, like if I should just leap into the conversation or what-have-you. But I thought I'd offer my support to those who have had bad days. I feel your pain 100%, even though today was a good day because I finally got some sleep. The kids have been keeping me up late with ER runs (two this week!) and waking me up early for Early Morning Swim, which I have to do since I'm the only lifeguard on the residence staff here (I teach and live at a boarding school). So after my morning classes I came back to my room and just collapsed and slept for two hours!

Hi Emmyroo! Welcome! Sure, jump in anytime.

Hi everybody else! Can't stay but thinking of you all! :grouphug:

Good Morning Everyone :coffee:

Emmy :welcome: and by all means JUMP right in. Its wonderful you could join us.

SNOOPY!!!! :welcome: home and congratulations little mama on the :bb: baby. I too had PPD. I got some meds and within a few months I was back to normal and went off the meds. Don't suffer hon, go for help. You, DH and your new baby deserve a happy mom. :hug:

Sassy, glad your feeling better...how's the back? I have all sorts of things wrong with my spine so I know how difficult it is to function when your back goes out....and how painful it can be. Gentle sit-ups help strengthen the stomach muscles which helps the back...don't do that now but thats one way we can help our backs. I HAVE got to get going with some sort of plan food wise and exercise. I think I'm going to start 1600 cal/day and exercise/walk 3 days a week..to start..maybe 2, we'll see.... what do you think? does this sound doable for you? maybe your calories could be higher?...adjust it for you.

Hope, Buddly, Amarie, Heather and Cathyyyyyyy good to see you guys.... whats shakin? anything exciting this weekend?


Okay...so my Christmas tree is still up.. haaa :tree: it might be my project for tonight. Today we have a birthday party and my house is just one big ginormous mess :shrug:

I stayed home the past few days b/c my cold took a nasty turn...I went to the doc and got some antibiotics for my sinus infection....hopefully it'll work.

UDDER DAN DAT... SOSDD.

Have a glorious weekend .... SMILE :D

.

Morning all! :Welcome: to our newest friends (oops! typed 'fiends' there - thought I'd better change it!! :lol:) and a big :wave: to all our regulars!

Leenie - hope those antibiotics help fast! Sinus infections are nasty, nasty buggers.

Have to get some errands done today (prescriptions to pick up - one for me, one for the cat! :o) that I couldn't do yesterday because of the never-ending snow... so it's a bit rushed this morning! SO glad January is over!! :yes:

Chat properly tomorrow!
Heather :D
