Good Morning,

I'm home today... under the weather to say the least LOL

How are you all this week? its a sunny beautiful day.... makes one feel better just looking at that blue sky.

Hi ladies!

Leenie - well, if you gotta be sick the least the sun can do is shine! Get better soon.

Nothin much going here. Its officially day one of my "beat the time-change" challenge, hopefully I will do better tomorrow...

Back later!

Amarie

Hi Ladies!

Heather, Hope and Sassy - its good to see you guys!

Hope - sorry that you have to take those 3 pounds off again. I'm the same way with cravings - I can go for a really long time without them, then one badly selected indulgence and POW! They're baaacck.

Heather luv - take care, and hang in there. I know I've quoted this before, but I'm doin it again just for you:

"Sometimes life gives you lemons, but then you can make lemonade... Then again, sometimes life pulls your pants down, runs an electric sander across your butt, then pours lemon juice on your now-abraded skin, in which case a cool citrus beverage won't do you much good, but you have to hang in there anyway!"" - American Greetings card company

Or my other personal favorite that has gotten me through many tough time: "When you get the the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and swing!"

OK, so sometimes when I don't know what to say, all I can do is quote greeting cards and page-a-day calenders

Sassy - hope you had a happy Green Beer day! I know I did... ate way too much, but tried to walk it off.

Cathy, oh Cathy... where are you girlie?

Everyone else - Chat at you later.

Wanted to share an article with you all:

The Limits of Thin By Geneen Roth
Its in the April 08 Good Housekeeping Magazine and also on their website:
http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/heal...limits-of-thin

Hi all,

Well, I haven't been anywhere near the 'straight and narrow' yet, unless the belgian waffle and 4 strips of bacon I had for breakfast were lower in calories than I imagine. DF wants to grill out tonight so dinner may be more healthy and I'm determined to try and get some exercise in before he gets home. That will be the first time in 2 weeks I think.

My visit home was nice, but I'm kinda glad to be home. Last night at pool league I got a job lead from one of the women on our team. Her friend at work is having a hard time finding people for a certain position and she told her about me and she said she would interview me if I sent her my resume. I did that this morning so we will see what comes of it. I think it is a lot of data entry and customer service. I have no idea what the pay is or anything. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Leenie: How are feeling today? Are you back at work yet?

Sassy: Congrats on the eating. I've seen a few movies lately but I'm having trouble thinking of them... There isn't that much out right now. Jumper: that's action and wasn't too bad, Vantage Point: also action, pretty good also, but you keep seeing the same day over and over, just from different 'vantage points', so that gets a little annoying but still good, 10,000 BC: kind of reminded me of Indian folk stories that are passed down from generation to generation, not bad, Fools Gold: comedy, a little predictable and corny, but OK. Hope that helps.

Amarie: Congrats on getting into grad school!! What is your 'beat the time challenge'?

Heather: Hey, no matter what it is we are here for you! I'm sending you a big package of endorphins and a couple of cans of in case they would be more useful!

Buddly, Cathy, and all the rest: What's up?

Hi :hi:


Hope - my "beat the time-change challenge" was a goal I set for myself for this week to get back on track, I've been out of sorts since the time change, and enough is enough! I did get up on time this am (OK, sort of) and after lollygaging around too long was able to drag my butt in to work only a half hour later than I wanted (I have time to make up 'cause I've been late the last two weeks). I'm just grateful that my job allows me flexibility.

Sassy - have a great "date night!" The last movie I saw out was "Jumper" its kinda a fun sci-fi flick. Don't know if its still in theatres though...

Well here I am, swinging on the end of my rope. (um, not as in hanging - see yesterday's quote) I'm just gonna relax here for a while and work up the energy to climb my way back up... My rope-swing has got me securely in apathy land - ehh. I guess its a good thing I don't seem to care...

See you late ladies!

Hi everyone!

Things are just chugging along here and with spring break the girls are keeping the computers busy.
I thought I was the only one that had major problems with the time change, its nice to know that its "normal" I've been tired and just no energy even with the sunshine.
Really nothing new, weather has been all over the place. I've been trying to sew and clean. Not getting far in either. B and C want to paint their room over the break. We have all the supplies, but that would mean that they have to clean up and move furniture so who knows how far they will get. A had a job interview at the new Micheals they are building here, but hasn't heard anything.

Leenie, hope you feel better soon.

Hope its great that you had a good visit. for the job!

Sassy enjoy your night out. And congrats on the eating. It would be nice if your mom could move closer. I sure enjoy having my mom in the same town. We always talked regularly on the phone, but its nice to have one day a week where we get together and go out.

Heather I hope you feel better soon. Spring is almost here!

Amarie keep hangin' on!! Congrats on getting into the school you wanted!

Cathy your trip sounded wonderful!

Hey liz! Long time no see!

Well I should go and see what I can do today. Find something for dinner?

Take care all and have a great day!
K

Me again!

Thanks ladies for all your kind words about school

On that note - I called the last school I hadn't heard from yet, and found out I'd been rejected. I'm ok with the rejection because I'm in love with the school I got into, but at the same time I'm steaming mad that they didn't have the courtesy to notify me. So rude! (seriously, I am foot-stampin mad!) Jerks.

Me thinks I need to call my counselor back up and schedule some time to work through why I am getting worked up about unimportant things... Hey whadya know? I think this temper fit gave me energy to climb back up my rope!

Hiya buddly! Good to see you

It's me again. I'm not sleepy enough yet to go to bed.

I spoke with the lady about the job briefly and she sent me an application to fill out besides my resume. Silly I think, but whatever. She said she would call me for an interview after that if it looked OK. I sent that back this evening. If she is having as much trouble filling the position as my friend said, I should at least get an interview. Again, , not counting any 's.

DF came home early and I didn't get my workout in like I wanted. I was kind of busy with him and the application process. We also ate out and didn't grill. Pizza and ice cream: need I say more? Help! I need to get back on track before something ugly happens.

Just wanted to come in and say Hey to everyone!!

Hiya, I'm new to this forum and looking around for things I can relate to. I was diagnosed with depression in 2006 after having the worst year of my life and then it continued to get even worse (but not enough room to go into that now). I was prescribed prozac and then welbutrin on top of that originally but as the nature of depression beast goes... I decided I didn't want to take all those meds and have only been taking the welbutrin.
Anyone have trouble losing weight with welbutrin?

I liked the premise of the article posted above, especialy this line (which I may use in my blog )

But the belief that losing weight will give us a magical new life prevents us from making the most of the life we have now, whatever we weigh.

Thanks for your time!

2006 was the worst year of my life too. I think about it ALL the time...

Shop & Beauty!!! Looking forward to getting to know you both. I was on wellbutrin for a while and I don't remember any negative effect on weight loss, but I can't quite remember how hard I was trying at the time.

Where is everybody?

I'm just doing some errands and bills today.

Hiya all!

shopaholic and beauty! Nice to see you here.

2006 was a bad year for me, too. Especially toward the end... I didn't get treatment for my depression until the end of 2007, and I really wish I had done it earlier. I've suffered from some degree of clinical depression my whole adult life, but I really struggled to let myself get help. Seems silly now.

So yesterday spiraled a bit downhill. I ate too much, and felt so sick this morning. I can hardly believe how bizzare it was when it was happening - I certainly wasn't eating because I was hungry! Ugh. Today is better, though.

Hope - I will keep my fingers crossed for you to get an interview!!! Good luck chickie!
