Hi all,

Debbie, I hope you have a great getaway this weekend. I'm glad to hear your doggie is doing well. Hopefully you can relax, rest, and have some fun with your friends.

I had dinner with a good friend tonight at her house. We grilled out a london broil and talked and watched a movie. It was so relaxing. I really needed that. I had the day off and got some much needed cleaning in. I also did my elipticle today which I'm proud of. I haven't been perfect about my diet or exercise but it is a far cry from what I was doing.

Have a great weekend girls, check back with y'all tomorrow.

OK, I'm checking back and nobody has been here. :dunno:

I had to close at work tonight and I thought it would never end. Sigh. It was just one of those days I just didn't want to be there, ya know what I mean?
I got a workout in today before I went so go me! :cheer:

I bought some tomato plants tonight so I hope they do well. It's the only thing I plant garden wise. You just can't get the same taste out of store bought tomatoes.

Have a great Sunday peeps!

Hi everyone

Hey there Hope! Congrats on the workouts.
I worked three days last week and of course those were the really nice hot days (29*C-84*F(?))at work the air conditioner isn't working right so it was really hot with the heat from the grill and fryers and no breeze. Glad the nice weather is carrying on tho. Hubby is out cutting the "grass" right now. I have to go out in a bit and make some new strawberry beds.

Take care everyone and enjoy your Sunday!

Hey Everybody. :wave:

Well I have been bummed lately, dunno why. Been taking my meds as usual, been walking :running: every night at work. Guess I should start walking at home, but by the time I get home after working 12.5 hours, I am tired. :tired:

Anyways, BIG :hug: to everybody who needs it!

I am new to this thread and forum. I just posted my bio and wanted to say hi to everyone and that I am looking forward to getting to know everyone better. I have looked at several other forums and while I will likely post elsewhere, for now this seems to be the best place for me, as my mental and physical health are inextricably linked. I am struggling a lot with my mental health right now and my body is recovering from surgery so my physical health isn't the best either. but i have faith that given time, dedication, patience and support...things will start to look up soon.

i hope everyone had a good and relaxing weekend.:)

:welcome:lovingme4me!! Looking forward to getting to know you better. This is a great little corner.

Hey there Sassy. Good for you for walking at work. I would guess you should be tired after all those hours at work. Hope you feel better soon.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Take care everyone,
K

:welcome2: lovingme4me.

Hi Buddly. :wave: Thanks. I walked 2 laps tonight at lunch! :carrot:

:hug:

Good Morning,

:welcome: Lovingme4me, we are so glad your here. You sound so positive, thats awesome.

Sassy YEAH YOU !!!!

Gee Hope with her tomatoes and Buddly with her strawberries, boy I'm jealous. Our yard is not garden friendly, between my DH's projects outside and our dogs, a garden is just not going to happen this year.. but thats ok, Mom said she would give me some of her tomatoes this year :drool:

Have a great day chickies :hug:

Hiya all,

Still hangin in... hope everyone has a really great week.

Amarie

hi everyone.. had a nice weekend away.. good to get these "firsts" over with. Big headache.. going on 3rd day now.. I used to get them a lot.. probably just everything that's been happening.

Welcome LovingMe4me.. you couldnt' have picked a more friendly and supportive group than this.

:welcome2: Lovingme4me! Look forward to getting to know you. I will try to read your bio when I have more time. Yeah, the mental and the physical definitely go hand in hand. Sounds like you have a great positive attitude to see you through...

Leenie, :lol: My dogs would soo eat my tomato plants given half a chance. They eat rocks, mulch, and any available bush or tree. Luckily our back yard is fenced in and my tomatoes are planted on the outside of the fence on the side of the house.

Sassy, way to go on the walking at work!! That's impressive. Sorry you are feeling a little down lately.

Buddly, good to see you again. I wish I raised as much of a garden as you do. I miss all the fresh goodies.

Amarie, is this your last week before summer or are you not taking it off? Can't remember.

Judo, glad you had a good weekend and hope you get rid of your headache soon.

Heather, how was your weekend? Are you taking the summer off? I can't remember your plans either.

I was off today but I've been going all day. I mowed the yard when I got up b/c we are supposed to have storms the next few days. :rain: I took a shower and met dh for lunch. Then I met a friend and we took a walk in her neighborhood. I left there, went to the store, cooked dinner and did laundry and dishes. Here I am. :whoo: I should sleep well.

Catch y'all tomorrow. Hugs to those who need them. :hug:

Hola.

Leenie -- Thanks. I try. I know it may not be a lot, but its getting up and moving every night I work. Don't feel bad I bought stuff to plant, only we haven't planted it yet. Think its too late now, right?

Amarie -- Hi :wave: glad your hanging in there!

Judo -- hope your headache goes away!

Hope -- thanks. I do it every single night, unless its raining or storming. Wow I should say you should sleep well after that! lol.

:hug:

Hi,

I'm new to this site:D,I'm having a really hard time losing my weight this go around:(!!! instead of going down I'm climbing up:mad:I was on Jenny Craig did really well but can't afford anymore:( that's when my number's started going up I'm 165.2 my goal is 140 maybe 130 depends what I look like when I get there:dizzy: I haven't worked out like I was I have gotten so lazy:?:I need friends like you all to help me again:p.My husband doesn't understand why I'm so upset about the weight the more i try to explain the madder he get's:mad:My husband LOVES me just the way I am(THOSE ARE HIS WORDS;)) I want to get in on the next challenge that anyone has:smug:I really think it would help me alot:carrot:Thanks for listening to me:hug:Talk to you all soon:D

:wel3fc: jellybean jen...i have just returned to this site after a long hiatus...so i feel like a newbie too. for me a program has to be something i can do for the rest of my life. that is why WW and Jenny Craig never worked for me...because i knew i couldn't afford it forever. however there are aspects of these programs, especially WW and their point system that you can incorporate in to a lifestyle change. i journal about what i eat, when and how i am feeling when i do eat. like today...i stayed completely on plan all morning and early afternoon. however around 1 pm i got a call from a friend that someone i am close to died unexpectedly last night. i don't know why i did it exactly, but i found myself going to the store and buying a big package of peanut m&m's and eating a bunch of them. i know its because i am sad and feel helpless, but i still wonder why this is the route i take and why i still allow myself to do this. so i have to journal about all of that...it allows me to not only see what i am eating and count the calories, fat, protein, and carbs, but enables me to see patterns in my eating behavior. it does help and it can be pretty eye opening. sorry...i didn't mean to go on forever...just wanted to welcome you and say that this is a great place to get some of the support you need. :^:

i also wanted to thank everyone else for welcoming me to this little corner of 3FC. i definitely think I am going to like it here. good job on the walking sassy...i need to get back into that. judo...sorry to hear about your headache...one of the worst feelings in the world is going to bed with a headache and waking up with the same one or worse. i hope you're feeling better soon. :hug: hope...that sounds like one of my days minus the lunch with dh...i usually love staying busy, as i do sleep better and most of all i don't have any time to binge. :D Also want to say hi to leenie and amarie...i hope you guys are having a good or better week.

thanks for the support everyone...the binge is over for now...posting this helped. the rest of this week is going to be emotional and hectic with already scheduled doctor visits and activities. hopefully i will remain binge-free the rest of the week...heck tomorrow would be good. :^: take care and talk to everyone soon. :hug:

wendy

looking back i realize i forgot to also thank buddly for your words of encouragement. i am looking forward to getting to know you better as well. :hug: have a great week everyone!
