Morning All. :coffee:

Guess what? I emailled my boss asking him to switch my hrs back 2 hrs from 9 pm - 9:30 am (what I currently work) to 7 pm - 7:30 am. I backed it up with info of why it would be beneficial. So pls keep your fingers :crossed: for me. Better add your toes, legs, and eyes. Then be sure to have someone take a picture of you and share it with all of us! :lol:

So I have been pro-active, aren't you all proud? :D Probably nothing will come of it, but hey, at least I tried. :yes:

Have a Great Monday!!! :D

Good for you! There is nothing better than a happy worker!
The weather out here on the rock is dreary today, and my fiance is going back to work in Alberta in a few days. We had wings 'n fish 'n chips last night, as a 'treat' for him. I feel bad, because I've been so good on my diet, except for that, and Fri night, steak and lobster with friends. Although, I DID stay within my points, I don't have any left for the week. So. I better get moving! Maybe a tiger will come in and chase me around for awhile, or the car will break down and I will hear there is a big sale at my fave clothing store if I get there in less than half an hour!! Have a great day!

Leenie 06-09-2008 09:49 AM

:wave:

Its going to be over 100 degrees today :faint: stay cool and hydrated chickies.

Leenie

momof4under5 06-09-2008 11:12 AM

Sassy-I hope your hours get switch cause that would be better than the 9 one...
Kofarg- is steak bad?? I didnt think it was or is it the way you cook it??
Leenie-Yeah way to hot out there sent the kids out early to play before the middle of the day heat!!

I went on the site biggest loser last night just to check out their stuff..I entered my info. and it told me my calorie in take should be like 1617 the same as what someone on here had told me. I was just wondering the people that are on there and lose weight how many months does it take for them to lose it. I know they have to do it healthy but they must work their butts off.....
I had a major break down yesterday morning just crying because I went to get dressed and the shirt I picked just felt tight esp. with sunburn it looked tight so I was like I will just wear jeans and a tshirt to church and went to get the one of the two pair that fit and it was wet in the dryer couldnt find the other one. The size 20's I couldnt even get together. So i was like crying cause everyone was ready (i get all the kids ready first) then i wasnt couldnt find anything to wear it was awful. i was sooo upset i was shaking. my husband told me to go buy clothes since i didnt have any i just said i couldnt bring myself to buy 22's he was like well when you lose weight then you can say see i cant fit these anymore. I still feel to embarrassed to buy them...well off to my monday morning mess...YAA... have a good day everyone!!

Amarie2pt0 06-09-2008 12:55 PM

Morning all!

The skies and my mood today are partly-cloudy with a chance of rain, haha...

Momof4 - :hug: aw, hun... I'm so sorry about the stupid clothes getting you down. I know how that feels - I've been in that very place (well, except for the kids waiting part). :hug:

Sassy - fingers, toes, eyes, etc. crossed that you get the new hours you want! WTG being proactive.

Well gang, I did some math and realized I'll be moving in like 2 months, and EEP!!! I have so much to do! I started clearing my second bedroom out this weekend (OK, really just moved the stuff into the garage) - but the garage is a lot closer to the garbage!!!! And then I started thinking, and I don't wanna leave my house! Waaaaa....

HeatherAngel 06-09-2008 03:07 PM

Hi ladies :wave:

Today I finished my temp job - had to end my own contract :( They would have liked to keep me on, apparently, but there just wasn't any work. Poop.

Aside from that, no news here. Back to the starting point looking for work. :rolleyes:

Have a great day, all!
Heather :D

Ravengirl 06-09-2008 04:34 PM

Hey Everybody!!! I am sorry I didn't tell you all I would be gone but well...we all were going and I just don't like to put that out there in the Internet ya know... We went to Hawaii The Big Island for five days...and it was heaven...we had such a wonderful time... I ate to much...I didn't work out...I paid the price for it yesterday...I haven't been that dang achy and sore since I started doing yoga on a regular basis...crud... We got home yesterday and I have most things put away but DHs computer decided to go toes up and he is having a b*tch of a time so that kind of threw a damper on our homecoming... I went to the Y this morning to do my much needed yoga class and put in 30 mins on the crossramp...I have quite a bit that I want to do today around here so this is kind of a fly by post! :) I am back though and don't have any more trips in the works so hopefully I can get back to work!!! Yeah!!!

buddly 06-09-2008 04:45 PM

Hi everyone!:wave:

Its a really nice Monday here. Sun is out and a breeze blowing so I hear people out mowing. I've just been trying to get stuff back up on the kitchen wall and I still have to wash my crystal and get it off of the counter. Our phone died yesterday. We can hear the other end, but they can't hear us. I was planning on going to town Wed. but I may have to make an earlier trip. We still have it hooked up to the answering machine and can get messages and then if its important we can call on the cell phone. To be honest I'm not sure where to return our phone as our phone company shut down all their stores in the area. <I'd call but, they can't hear me:s:and its their phone to boot!>
The girls kept me hopping and driving all over the place this weekend. DdC got her green belt in judo. We are really proud of her. DdC, DdB and I got to go "girly" shopping on Sat, that was a lot of fun.

Hey Heather! so good to see you and that you are doing alright. Good luck on the job search!

Amarie, wow only two more months, just think of all the exercise moving all those boxes will bring ;) And I'm sure once you are all moved you will love your new place, transitions are absolutly horrid! IMHO.

Momof4 :hug: so sorry about the clothes situation. I can so relate. I'm dredding having to get dressed up for DdB's grad this Sat. I honestly don't know if I have anything that will fit and look good. I was suppose to be smaller by now, but it hasn't happened, yet.:hug:

Kofarq good for you staying in points with lobster no less! How long does your Df go to Alberta for? I figure he must be working in the oil fields?

Good for you Sassy!! I'll keep my fingers crossed. You never know something may come of it!

Hi there leenie, Cathy, Hope, shop, sugar, Raven and everyone else:wave:

Well I should go and fill the sink.
Take care everyone and have a great day!
K

hope4me 06-09-2008 07:57 PM

Hi everybody,

Df just went to work about an hour ago. Sometimes he will go in the evening b/c there aren't as many people around and he can paint or knock out a ceiling or something. We slept late today and saw a movie: 'Zonhan', pretty funny. I tried to take my dogs for a walk for the first time on a leash and they would have none of it! :lol: They need to get used to it but you would have thought I was killing them. They tried to chew their way out of the harnesses. Oh well. The fact that it is over 100 degrees didn't help! :sunny:

Momof4: :hug: I could have written that post a hundred times over (except for the kids). Somebody waiting on you when it happens doesn't help anything. That is the worst feeling and we all have been there I'm sure.
Sometimes that happens to me and I'm in a store and nothing fits. A panic attach usually sets in and I go fleeing to the car in tears. I'm sorry you had such a bad day. :hug:

Heather: You know, that is one thing I haven't tried is the temp thing and I really should. The unemployment thing has really gotten me down. I applied to Home Depot the other day just b/c nobody seems to be hiring for full time and I heard they have benefits for part-timers. Being a girl that has never been my favorite store, but times are desperate. If you had told me I would ever have even thought of applying there I would have thought you were crazy. Now apparently I am. :dizzy:

Raven: I wondered where you were! I would love to go there, that is one of my goals in life is to visit Hawaii.

amarie: Wow, 2 months isn't long! I'm clearing out my crap too, I'm just not going anywhere. Maybe we can keep each other motivated. I've shredded tons of old paperwork and just crap that I've kept for no reason.

BBL, I'm getting company!

Shopaholic1204 06-09-2008 09:25 PM

Hey everyone.

I have some news. Dh will officially be off the ship Aug. 12. And he'll have like a month of leave, lol. Which is good and all..but we'll be spending most of that time moving. Amerie, we're moving in 2 months too, lol. Still haven't found place to live yet..but I've found a couple apartments in our price range. They all look very nice.

I have a confession. I've been stress eating a lot. And I dont regret it at all, how weird is that?? I'm enjoying everything that I'm eating too. I still wont allow myself to have a burger or delicious sweets. But I can feel myself getting closer to that temptation. I dunno how much longer I can hold off. I think once dh gets home, I'll feel less stressed out, lol.

Sassy_Chick 06-10-2008 02:55 AM

You can Uncross Everything now. lol
 
Well Thanks Ladies, but you can now uncross everything. lol. It was a big fat NO. :no: Not a little no, but a big NO. lol. He basically said no schedule changes are allowed at this time and that the new girl will just need to learn and if she has any questions she can ask the other dept that we work closely with.

I copied the new girl on the email so he replied to both of us, the new girl is like, "Boy he is really nice, isn't he?". I was like "Yeah can't you tell how much he cares?" lol. So anyways, that is that. But I still can hope for our new manager to change our schedules like I've heard. So lets hope........

But I am proud of me for at least asking. It doesn't hurt to ask. I am used to hearing no, esp from him. I have a feeling he will come by my desk in the AM about it and if he does I will just say, I just thought I would ask is all. :shrug: Either that or he'll duck and hide when he sees me trying to avoid me. lol.

So lets see what happens......Oh and yesterday morning, all the Dayshift Witches :witch2: (that is my new nick-name for them) were very very quiet. Very strange. So if they remain this way all week while I am here, then I pretty much know that my counter-part who works opposite me on nights blabbed. But I told her she could tell them or show them the email I sent her. I am not hiding anything. lol.

Well I just ate lunch and I feel awful. :barf: I guess its cuz of what I ate I am sure: Hot dogs and Doritos..:faint: So I took some tums and I'm hoping I feel better.......Cuz I have no time left to leave early even. I mean if I get really sick then I'm leaving, no matter what even if the weasel says I can't, well lemme just :barf: on ya once then maybe you'll let me. lol. Nah, I am trying to stick it out and be tough. lol. Even though I just reallly wanna just go home and curl up in bed and watch I Love Lucy......:(

UGH if I were only leaving at my old time of 7 am, I think I could make it until then, but after that is when it gets stressful with everybody here, etc....and my boss doesn't show up for work until about 9:30 a.m., when I am LEAVING. Pretty sad, isn't it? And he leaves around 4 or 5 in the evening, man I would love those hours! And all he does is walk around with his stupid coffee and try to look like he is doing something! lol. Maybe I should start slacking off then maybe I'd get a promotion too! lol.

Well thanks for listening to me Whine..........Have a great day!

:hug:

momof4under5 06-10-2008 09:08 AM

awww sassy that stinks..I hope you feel better!!!
Not much here seems a little cooler today like not as humid. I was sick yesterday and didnt do much of anything so I need to do stuff today...ok have a good day all!!

HeatherAngel 06-10-2008 09:20 AM

Okay, trying really hard to post here regularly again - I had a horrible realization that I have only lost 12 pounds [note - not even, as of today, and my ticker was wrong anyway] since I hit 100lbs lost in mid-January. Now, I do know that's better than nothing, but it's a big slow down for me, as you know.

And I know why. I am eating out of control, and since early April, I've neglected myself horribly. Not runnign regularly (if at all!) not doing my weights, not eating well. I feel like crap and it shows. I MUST get my motivation back to work on ME. Sooo hard. :(

Sassy, rotten news that. Hang in there.
Mom, hope you're feeling a bit better today :)
Francie - I enjoy everything I shove in my mouth, even if I eat until I feel sick. Then I do it again - because I liked it. :rolleyes: Self-sabotage is a powerful force!
Hope, Raven, Buddly, Amarie, Leenie - whatcha doin' today girls?

I am goign to go force myself to run. Even a short one is better than nothing, and it's been so long that my fitness level has dropped and I'll have to build up again anyway... isn't it funny that despite how great it makes us feel, exercise is SOOOO easy to just let fall by the wayside? Sheesh!

Have a great day all!
Heather :D

buddly 06-10-2008 12:49 PM

Good morning!

Just a quickie as I have so much to do and I've been procrastinating, like usual.
Another beautiful day. The wind is a little cool, but it keeps the bugs away and the sun is shining so I'm not complaining!
Dh drove DdA to work this morning so that was nice. He had to go to work as well. This may have been a little earlier than he wanted but at least it save a little bit of gas.

Sassy I'm sorry you didn't get the schedule change, but at least you tried. Its to bad you can't find another job as that work environment sounds terrible! A lot of gossipers and back stabbers! It must feel so lonely:hug:

Mom hope you feel better today.

Hope thats funny about your pups. Maxie and I went for a walk after the girls got on the bus this morning. It was to nice to come straight home. We haven't done it for quite awhile and I think I tired him out ;)

Heather did you get your run in? Its amazing how easy it is to let the exercise slilp even when we know how good we feel after.

A huge:grouphug: to everyone else.

I have to carry on getting this place presentable. Only three more days before company comes. :stress:

Take care everyone and have a wonderful day!
K

Amarie2pt0 06-10-2008 12:53 PM

I feel like crap :( its freaking snowing out, in flipping June! And my mood is horrid! I can't tell if its the snow, or the impending move, or just feeling hopeless about all I have to do and having no money to do it, but I just wanna curl up and cry.

I'm having a really hard time adjusting my behavior to not spend so much money - I've cut up my cc, but I have really gotten into a habit of buying stuff to make myself feel happy over the last couple years, and I just can't anymore. I only have 4 paychecks left, and I'd really like to be able to save something...

Thanks y'all for your kind words - yeah Buddly, I think you hit the nail on the head - transitions are hard! And they suck.

Did I mention its snowing? Wtf? In June????

Francie - holy cow! I bet we're gonna be moving the same week! it looks like I'm gonna move on Aug 18th or so - 'course my trip'll be shorter, but still... I like the idea that we'll be moving at the same time-ish!

Heather - :hug: I've not been running much either :( maybe we can nudge each other back out there? Nudge...nudge...

Hope - let's try to keep each other motivated, that would be great!! Last night I organized and stored bed linens and cds, tonight I'm gonna shoot for miscellaneous electronics and my goodwill pile. What's youe goal?

Mom and Sassy - :grouphug: I'm sorry you were both feeling icky. Feel better today!!!

Raven - wow, sounds like fun!

How's everyone else doin?

momof4under5 06-10-2008 01:48 PM

I was actually feeling pretty good today until I took my van to get the oil changed and the ac fixed...its gonna cost 200 for the ac to be fixed. I just dont have it right now we just finished moving and it pretty much wiped us out!! It sucks because of the kids there are only two windows in the van so the boys in the back dont get much air. my baby turns 1 in july and is to be facing in her seat backwards but I had to turn her around so she could get air because her face would get flushed red and way way overheated. I figure it would be better for her to get the air!! That just sucks that now i have to wait to get it fixed!! so yeah my day is going down quick!!

Good luck to you two moving...I thought I was going to have a break down during my whole move it was awful.....

me a-I cant believe its snowing where do you live again?? I am sorry your feeling sooooo down...makes me think I could be a little happier cause your having a harder time!!

Heather Angel-I think its awesome you lost so much wieght...hopefully you will be able to pull yourself back on track. Somethings just throw you off and you have to get back on. Like when you ride a horse and it bucks you off its gonna hurt and your not gonna jump up and jump on and be like lets gooo horsey!! so dust yourself off and try to get back on!!! I have been there after our move I felt pretty close to how you did. The move is what threw me off and there were other things going on.

Ok well ladies I am so proud of myself I have managed to keep up with posting. Because when I do this is a reminder and motivation to go excercise. When I see what it has done for others it makes me go excercise!! Check back in later!!!

Amarie2pt0 06-10-2008 02:05 PM

Momof4- how wierd is this weather? Its super hot on the east coast but snowing here where I live in the inland northwest. Sorry to hear about your ac, I hope the heat breaks soon!

Talk to you later!

Shopaholic1204 06-10-2008 02:29 PM

I feel like total crap today. I hate AF!!! I feel like crying for no reason at all, lol. This horrible weather fits my mood perfectly.

momof4under5 06-10-2008 05:01 PM

it just thunder stormed here outta no where with hail and everything. I had to go get clothes down and got soaked!!UGGGHhhhh...

Sassy_Chick 06-11-2008 12:56 AM

Hi Chicks.
 
Hi Chicks. :wave:

Well DH did not get the out-of-state job. They were to call yesterday if he got the job and he did not get a call and they only were doing calls yesterday at a certain time and they told him at the test if he didn't get a call, then "thanks for applying".

So he's kinda bummed, but then I pointed out that he was worried about doing the job anyhow. So he is going to continue to job search up here and so am I, now that I know the results of his out-of-state job. I didn't want to look until I knew where I'd be looking. So yes, fear not I am gonna look.

I have also came to a conclusion or a few actually:

1) I am no longer gonna post about my job, at least negative things
2) I am no longer gonna talk/post bad things about anybody from now on. Basically if I wouldn't want it said about me, then I am not gonna say it about another person.
3) Just going to try to be more positive and focus on moving forward instead of "treading water".

Why did I come decide this? Well it was Francie's post yesterday (in a different thread) asking about "Do you think your manager/boss could be monitoring you?" Not that, that was the exact reason. I know that everything is monitored here, I am not stupid. But it just made me think that maybe I should try to not be so negative. We all have our bad days and all, but here lately I think everyday for me is a bad one. lol.

So those are my goals...and I appologize for being a "Negative Nelly"

Buddly -- It is lonely. But hopefully I will find something else soon and that is all I will say on that. :)

I felt bad earlier, I think its just poor food choices. I just struggle so much with that and I really need to stop it. :( I go to lunch in an hr and I don't even wanna eat cuz I am afraid I will feel bad after. DH was supposed to make me fish and rice, but he didn't and I didn't have time to cook anything before work. Aw well.......

Have a good one.

hope4me 06-11-2008 01:01 AM

Well the weather here was a fiery :flame: 102 degrees and humid. Snow Amarie? What is going on? I would trade you if I could. As you probably remember I whined all winter about our lack of snow. The hot weather would be less stifling if I could wear shorts and a tank top but :barf: not on this bod!

Amarie: after reading your post I was like crap! I haven't cleaned anything today. DF had the day off unexpectedly and we spent most of the day running around shopping. I read it about 9:30 tonight and ran upstairs and grabbed a drawer in the guest room and cleaned it out while I watched 'Workout' on Bravo. So thank you for motivating me and making me get at least a little done today! :thanks: Tomorrow I will try to clear the floor in the spare room/new gym and start shredding this big storage bin full of miscellaneous stuff. What are you going to do?

Buddly: The countdown is on! 3 days! What are you planning to tackle today?

Heather: I have to say again, I'm so glad to see you posting! :carrot: I know your loss has slowed but at least it hasn't gone out the window altogether. I know you see the positive of that but I also know that no matter where you are when you stop exercising and start eating too much it just makes you feel like total crap. I'm SOOO there now. My workout buddy is coming over tomorrow night so I have to at least get a small workout in. My stamina is also shot and I can hear myself breathing hard when I just walk a short distance. It's sad. Did you get your run in? Regardless, what do you plan to do today for exercise? Maybe we can nudge each other on. ;)

Momof4 and Amarie: I'm with you on the broke bandwagon. I don't know what I'm going to do. No AC though, :fr: I hope you get that resolved and fast. That's dangerous if you are having weather like we are. We were supposed to get some storms but they passed us by.

Shop: Big :hug: I hate when the hormones go crazy. :dizzy:

Sassy: Any drama at work tonight?

What's up Leenie, Cathy, Raven, etc??

hope4me 06-11-2008 01:10 AM

Sassy, I just read your post so let me ask a better, more challenging question, "What did you enjoy about work tonight?" ;)

Sassy_Chick 06-11-2008 01:23 AM

Oh Boy that is challenging. lol. Ummmm. I guess that it is the day before my "Friday"?? lol. I dunno honestly. I guess chatting with my co-workers (the night ones lol) Oh and I guess this is ok for me to say, its positive, well kinda. lol. One of the Daytime girls was talking all nice to me yesterday morning when I was leaving, she was behind me.......I'll leave it at that. You come up with your own conclusion. lol. Its been warm here too. Yesterday was the 1st not so hot day and it was still in the mid-80's. lol. Speaking of snow I can share another thing from work that is a positive experience because it made my coworker and I laugh. Someone from the Painsville, OH site were having network issues after a power outage and the person calling said "Due to a Snowstorm, instead of a Thunderstorm." :lol: We were like if it is snowing there and its hotter than Haitis here then its the end of the world. lol. Painsville is about 4 hrs away from us so that would be really strange and I did look at the weather and it said it was 66 and storming, thunderstorming. lol.

Shopaholic1204 06-11-2008 04:04 AM

Love songs are evil when you're alone and feeling depressed. But yet..I cant stop listening to them because it makes me think of dh and when he would sing these songs to me..:cry:

Sassy_Chick 06-11-2008 07:55 AM

I'm SOOOOOOO depressed.
 
I am sooooooooo depressed. :cry: I was at work. I left early because I got sick (sorry for TMI) but it was aggravated by me getting upset at something one of the Daywitches said. They must be totally stupid because I can hear everything they say, even if they whisper. I have very good hearing. Well The "Head Witch" I will call her said to a fellow witch, "OMG I F---ing hate her, she is SO f---ing fat!!!" And the Fellow Witch responds with, "She is sitting right over there." I was the only one besides those two that was a female period, but there are only 2 heavy women on our team, me and one other woman and she wasn't even there yet, I passed her on the way out. So who in the heck else would they be talking about? Nobody else was sitting around them!!! I am sure they would not say that to one another!! So needless to say I started bawling :cry: and went to the bathroom and got sick. After that I was like F-it. I'm going home. So I went back out to ask my coworker if he could call my boss and ask him if I could go home, I'm sick. Then I had to run back to the bathroom (sorry again if TMI) and came back, well the boss didn't call back and I didn't really feel like hanging around, so I left. I told the kinda sorta "2nd in Command" guy and he said, "If your sick, your sick."

But honestly?? I do not even want to go back. I know I have too, but I honestly don't. I feel like that fat little girl who got made fun of all through school. :cry: It NEVER stops. NEVER. :cry: I am now thinking about talking to my dr about the WLS. I have considered it before, but just never went through with it. I know its not a "miracle" thing or anything, it is a tool. I know that. But I am just tired of being fat. :cry: So either I get that or I just wanna die. :cry: I told DH when I got home and all he said was, "Sorry your sick and that he couldn't beleive that the chick at work said that." (he knows her) Then that was it! :yikes: I dunno guess I expected some compassion or something............I mean my mom always comforted me when I came home from school crying. :cry: And I know I am not a little girl anymore but dammit I need comforting. :cry: Well that is about it.

Oh and I need one of the Moderators to answer me a question, can they tell who has logged on the forum and when?

Thanks.

momof4under5 06-11-2008 09:15 AM

HeatherAngel 06-11-2008 09:58 AM

Morning all! :wave:

Okay, so I did run yesterday, but only 2.2 miles before my right knee gave me problems - it's so hard to build up again :-/ I'm in a surprising amount of pain now, so weights and walking for me for a few days.

Nothing else of news here - nice weather - not too hot - and still job-hunting, as you can imagine.

Sassy - I'm sorry you work with such ignorant people, but you mustn't let them get to you too much... you must be strong! You are NOT to be defeated by idiots!! :hug:

Hope you are all well -
Heather :D

Leenie 06-11-2008 01:15 PM

Love yah !!

Ravengirl 06-11-2008 04:45 PM

Hey Chickies!
 
How is Everybody!!! :carrot:

As you can tell...feeling good...yup I am...don't know why...don't want to pick at it!!!:D So...I am day 3 back into my yoga/cardio workouts and meditation after the time off due to visiting family and our 5 days on the Big Island... My grace time with my shoulders gave out on Sunday...hurting pretty bad... I actually learned a few things about myself on vacation! I know! So weird!!! lol I learned something I already kinda knew...I need yoga and cardio...well duh...but I also need to be outside for a few mins EVERYDAY....preferably in meditation...uh yeah...just gotta do it...don't know why...not gonna pick at it...

OMG...Sassy...my heart just aches for you...I cannot believe we live in a world where people who are supposed to be grown ups can still behave in the worst habits of childhood... I am so sorry...I know that it can't take the pain but it really is their problem and not yours...and if they knew what a beautiful friend they were missing out on they would just kick themselves... Please try to remember all of us here who need when you deal with those people... And I am sorry your DH didn't get the job he wanted and that he wasn't more compassionate of your feelings...

Sounds like everyone else is staying busy!!! OOOH!! I love Adam Sandler and I do think Don't Mess With The Zohan is hilarious but I didn't realize what type of movie it was and didn't check because it was PG-13 so took the 16 year old DD with me...uh...yeah...we ended up walking out cuz we were just way too uncomfortable!!! Some other people with even younger kids did as well...just a warning guys! :eek:

Hiya chickies!

Sassy - :hug: wow, it does sound just like my school years. I'm so sorry!!!! Stupid nasty people! Ugh, why is it that some people never grow up? Odds are they hate their jobs too and a miserable, but its just so incredibly pathetic that they choose to make themselves feel better by putting you down. I'm so sorry they hurt you :hug: Do you have an hr person you can talk to? I think that kind of thing in the workplace may rise to the level of workplace bullying and weight discrimination. I know not all employers are willing to admit it, but obescity is a medical condition. You deserve better than that. And try not to be too hard on dh for being oblivious. I think its just sometimes how men are - we're here for you love!

Hope - wtg on cleaning out the drawer, I'm so proud of you for deciding to take it on at 9:30!!! woohoo. And now, I'm embarassed to admit I didn't get anything done last night :( I got home at 7:00 and had to put in 3 hrs of work on my laptop. Ptewy. So, YOU've ispired ME to get it done today instead! :hug: thank you!

Francie - OK, this may sound hokey, but I think that kinda sad feels good sometimes, because it reminds us how deeply we can love. Loving someone enough to miss them that much is beautiful, so even though it hurts, it kinda feels good.

Heather - WTG! 2.2 miles is HUGE considering you said you haven't been running at all much! No wonder you're sore! But I bet your body will pick up a lot faster getting back into the long distances than in building them the first time. (I have to admit, right now 2.2 is a long run for me!)

Momof4 - :hug: Here, I'll lend you a little of my "stupid people" armor for your trip to the amusement park (hands it over). I hope it helps you ignore the stupid people who should know better than to judge but don't. Try to have fun with your kids! Do they have rollercoasters? Rollercoasters scare me...

Not much happening for me today - its rainy and cold - the snow has moved East of me. My friend in Helena, MT called and said it was snowing there... brrrrrr.

I've decided to cultivate a better attitude about being B-roke. Money sucks whether you have it or not. And maybe I'll actually get motivated enough to go put some of the stuff I no longer need on ebay.

Tonight I'm thinking I'll start a pot of chili going, at least get the beans soaking. It chili weather right now.


Hi Leenie - ...zoom... :D

Buddly, Cathy, Raven, everyone else... :grouphug: whats new today?

Amarie2pt0 06-11-2008 10:07 PM

Good things about being broke day 1: I really want pizza tonight, but there is no $$ left for it. :yay: being broke just saved me from a fat-laden binge :yay:

It is so cold here (brrrr....) I can't seem to get anything done :( I just turned up the heat a bit and am gonna go curl up with a comforter for a bit to see if I can get warm enough to sneak in a pilates wkt. :hug: all!

momof4under5 06-11-2008 11:15 PM

It went so well today..i had friends that went to and so between them and my kids i really didnt think about it. ALTHOUGH I did look around and to be honest the bigger people are the majority and the skinny minnies are the minority.. so like we could take the ones that run their mouths!!! j/k Anyways my firend had lost a good amount of weight a while ago so she knows how i feels and also has been a huge support so it was good today...EXCEPT dummy white girl forgot to lotion her legs..yep thats right lobster legs!!! ouch... Only at one point did my weight come into play..the small ( I mean small!!) crazy mouse roller coaster had a weight limit of 500lbs max per cart. I was with 3 other people the one girl is tall and a little heavy she weighs 220 something but is tall and cant tell its that much.. so between the two of us we already came close to 500 so i just casually was like maybe we better split up just so we dont come close...but even if I was skinnier we woulda been over...anyways..Oh yeah we have to go across a cross walk to get to the other side of the park and it goes up hill yep I was huffin and puffin...But I was def. under calories by A LOT today and got tons of excercise..... I gotta go going to my moms tomorrow gonna go swimming while husband works on the roof...I know so cruel!!!




Heather i cant wait for the day I can run 2.2 miles...that would be wonderful. I never was a long distance. I usually did smaller things in hs track. I won first in the 400 tons of times. Then the 200 I got like 3rd or something cause its almost too long to completely sprint and then too short to pace yourself. my coach threw me in the 100 once cause a girl couldnt show..YEAH totally stunk...esp. no training at it...I miss my track days... hopefully you get to feeling better though!!!

Raven thats awesome your feeling so good getting back into the swing of things is going smoothly for you!!! You just needed some refreshing right??

Me A You know the whole money thing I have thought about it and thought about it..I was like even when I do have money there are so many things that I needed but werent necessity so then i get that stuff and its gone..so like is there ever a point where I will be like ok I dont need a single thing and let money sit there...maybe after the kids are all gone!! I think that is where most of my money is needed!!! I am really trying to do some of the money makeover by dave ramsey...My friend is kinda doing it with the envelopes and doing well at it. But you have to have enough money to pay your bills and meet living expenses and a lil extra for savings...and the way the price of stuff is now yeah i dont see that happening.. Just groceries themselves have jumped...crazy!!! I wanna turn amish and grow my own stuff and do the horse and buggy no gas no taxes....OH YEAH!!!! Wait that means no puter no 3 chicks!!...scratch that then!!

Have a great day...oh yeah I was afraid to step on the scale today to see if i was still at the same weight or if it was a fluke it wasnt I was still down 5 lbs...YAY

momof4under5 06-11-2008 11:16 PM

Oh yeah thanks for the stupid people armor it worked!!

Sassy_Chick 06-12-2008 12:15 AM

Hello Ladies.
 
Hi Ladies and Many many Thanks. :hug:

I was feeling really low again before logging on here........but thanks you all, you truly touched me by your kind comments. I feel like the biggest baby though, weeping away. :cry: lol. Can't help it. I feel like I've been pulled back in time about *gulp*20 yrs or so.......I dunno I always thought that this sort of thing would stop when you were an adult, but I guess some people never grow up.

I am still sick, I can't help it, its just how my body reacts I guess when I get really really upset. So I called off sick tonight at work, I just didn't feel like going in when I am sick and everything. :barf:

I am seriously thinking though about doing some serious, serious major job hunting this weekend and seeing if anything at all can pans out. I am even thinking about going back to work for Wally World. I know I can't stand all day long anymore being a cashier, but maybe they would find me something I could do? I am just so so so *literally* sick of work right now I can't even fathom going back but you know how it is, we got bills to be paid, so I can't just quit without having something else, even if I don't get paid as much as I do now, anything is better than nothing at all............

DH goes into work in the morning, so at least I will have someone to see if anything goes on or if anything is said.

Now maybe this was the huge gigantic kick in the @$$ I needed, yes it was a painful one, but I am gonna be doing some research and I am gonna change. It may not be right away, but it will happen and I'm doing it for me, not for anybody else. I am also thinking about going into counseling. This whole thing has brought up a whole of bunch of emotions that I have buried deep down and I think I need to work those out.

Or maybe just keep things the way they are and with how my body reacts to stress, I'll lose weight that way! lol. That is honestly how I lost weight in HS. I got so stressed that I could not eat hardly at all. My mom would have to beg me to eat something. I know that isn't the healthy way though and as you all are very aware, it didn't last either.

My DH did come out afterwards and apologized for not saying more, he was half-asleep.......So we did talk about it.

Anyways. I surely do appreciate all your kind and wonderful comments.

I sure wish we could all work somewhere together, wouldn't that be cool?!!

:hug:

HeatherAngel 06-12-2008 10:34 AM

Morning chicks! :wave:

There is no other way to keep losing weight than to make myself work my own programme, which I KNOW works, and stop being so complacent. Yes, I've lost a lot already, but do I really need to eat that danish? No - I can eat it when I reach my goal. Or - not at all! ;)

I guess running 2.2 miles sounds like an achievement; it's hard when I was running 6, 8 10 miles... I logged over 80 miles in March!! And then, as my heart broke, I gave up on myself.

Okay, I know what I have to do. Measure and weigh my food. PLAN MEALS. Stay focussed on the end goal, not the 'that would be tasty right now, and I can start again tomorrow'!! Recommit to my weights, and rebuild up my running. Post here. LOTS. Reach out for connections to help me stay on track and not just wallow.

Okay. So, I know I have to do it. Let's hope I can... I have to find the motivation that brought me this far... and cling to it!

Chat soon, girls - have a great day!
Haetehr :D

Amarie2pt0 06-12-2008 12:08 PM

Morning!

Can't stay long - I gotta run to a meeting in a few, but wanted to stop in to give a big :grouphug:

I never did get that pilates workout in last night. Heather I hear you on the needing to work your program. I am not finished, I have not given up - I have more work to do, and I know what I need to be doing. For me, its weigh and measure food, journal, and get out for a walk or run EVERY day, whether its raining or not. I started my walking when there was ice and snow on the ground - pshaw, I can handle a little rain!

Hope - Hi! I got my dvds organized last night, and sorted through 1 box in my spare room. It wasn't as much as I had hoped for, but I'm counting it as a success? How are you doing on your declutter manifesto?

Sassy - :hug: I know how it feels to be so stressed you become physically ill, and I hope that your load lightens soon! Take care of yourself right now... maybe a bubble bath? Paint your toes? Something that will make you smile :D

Momof4 - I'm so glad the day went well at the park! Yay on you! Haha... uh huh, we could so definatlely take the mouthy people - not only do we outnumber them, but we have the weight advantage!!!!!

Ack, gotta go or I'm gonna be late! Love you all. Hope everyone is doing well.

Sassy_Chick 06-12-2008 02:01 PM

SASSY's BACK YA'ALL!!! HA HA!
 
Hi All

Well I feel much better. I heard some news from someone and made me feel much better. :D :D :D :D Basically they (girls and I infasize GIRLS at work -- :lol3:) aren't gonna break me. I have too many people who love and care about me, I don't need people like that to get me down. I have much better things to do with my time than bother worrying about any of those losers. People who hate others usually are intimated by them -- see my quote, I LOVE IT! HA HA! :cool: So SASSY CHICA is BACK YA'ALL!!!! :devil:

Oh and I found this and I thought it was so cute:

http://dl4.glitter-graphics.net/pub/...hqy6la4njm.gif

Thought we all could use Calgon to "Take us away" right girls? ;) And the kitty cat looks like mine, only mine is a whole lot FATTER!!! lol. But I still wuvs him, he's my baby. :bb: lol.

Have a Great Day, You all are WONDERFUL!!! :grouphug:


Amarie: I watched I Love Lucy and she always makes me laugh :lol: She is my "Therapy" ;)

Ravengirl 06-12-2008 04:30 PM

Hey Chickies!
 
:hug:

So...how is every little thing today? I just got back from my workout....today was Stretch & Relax class and 35 mins on the treadmill at incline 5 and 3.8 mph...yeah...little sweaty...good thing you all can't see me!:D I love Stretch class...the YMCA that I go to has Yoga on M,W, & F and Stretch & Relax on Tu & Th...the instructors rotate through...but luckily I enjoy all of their different styles and think it is very cool to have the break in routine... Today...wow...I went further into a seated forward bend than I ever have been able to...I could feel the lengthening in my back (a problem area) and I could still relax the muscles and breathe into it...today's instructor, D, emphasizes holding the stretch for longer periods so it is easier to melt into it...it gives your muscles the chance to get over the OMG! What are you doing to me phase... It felt amazing!:woohoo:

It is raining!! :carrot: I love when it rains and I don't have to be out in it!!!
Sassy: I am so glad that you are feeling better...we all wuv ya Baby! ;) Love the cat!!! I think I am still partial to grumpy one though... And even though they were sad...the fairies were beautiful...

Amarie: Do your Pilates!!! You'll feel better!!! lol

HeatherAngel: Good to see you back around...don't let the all or nothing attitude get you! It has a way of doing that to me too...I always compare every workout to the one before and am never satisfied with the fact that I got any in at all!! I think it is a sickness!

Leenie: Watcha doin' Babe...ya awful quiet....:wave:


momof4: Yay You on the fun at the amusement park!!! I love carnival rides...except for the ones that could strand you upside down...don't really go for those...too paranoid! EEK!! Yeah...I am a pale little white girl too and really have to be careful with the sun...not to mention it tends to bake my head...make me feel fried and nauseous even when I don't get burned if I am just out in it too long...

Shop: Where are you? Turn those songs off and come hang out with us!!!:coffee: Come on...step away from the sad stuff...come over to the happy place!!! :hug:

Gotta run...I am offending myself...must shower...

:yoga:

hope4me 06-12-2008 04:41 PM

Well, I didn't get much done yesterday in the house b/c DF was off unexpectedly again. We ran around most of the day and then went to a cookout with some of his biker friends. :moped: I took a big fresh fruit salad (yummy) and some homemade brownies, which were a hit last time and they actually fought over them. :boxing: I mean, if you are going to fight over something, what better reason than brownies? ;)

Hmmm, can you tell I'm still not on plan? Today I'm doing some regular cleaning: vacuuming, dishes, and straightening up. If I have time I'll sort through something else. My girlfriend is coming over tonight to workout so I wanted the house to look better. We've been trying to do this workout for a couple of weeks and something happens every time. The problem is I haven't been doing it on my own either. :rolleyes:

Gotta run and finish cleaning. I'll check in later. Hope you all have a great day! :hug:

momof4under5 06-13-2008 12:10 AM
