Hi everyone! How's everyone doing?
I tried the yoga CD I bought called Breathing to beat the blues... it's really amazing, just sitting and following it made such a huge difference!

Not much to say tonight but just wanted to stop by.

too funny! well, glad that we can be your adults to talk to

Hi to everyone, a very gray November day here. A good day to spend inside at work, I guess! Hope every one is good.

Hi everyone,
Hope you are having an enjoyable Saturday. Its beautiful here with the sun shining and I'm so happy I don't have to go anywhere if I don't want to.

Vermont that is a wicked price to pay for one month of meds, wow. Sure hope you get some coverage soon. And your hubby gets a job he'll like.

Nothing new here, will be so glad when next week is over.

Take care everyone and have a great weekend.

Buddly, why you dreading next week?

My test is over and I think I did well .

We saw a movie today: '2012'. It was a decent action disaster movie. I wanted to see Twilight but I was afraid it would be too crowded and have too many young people. We may see it during the week early in the day. I love vampire stuff and though the first one was too teenagery for me I've heard this one is a little more mature. It seems a lot of vampire stories are set in high school but it's nice when they aren't. Other than vampires I'm usually a complete .

I'm just glad to be home and off.

just thought Id say hi..nothing much here...great weekend with my husband... hoping this week will be better and I will have it together..going to make my video for biggest loser!! All my dh said was whos gonna take care of the kids but I figure that if it is meant to be then it will work out!! I have faith that if it is what I am to do then God will work out the childcare!!

hope-AWESOME JOB!!!

talk to you all later hope your having a good weekend

so i just learned to night that the moon is closer or something there is a shift in gravity and it cause us to weigh more this last week and this week and people with mental disorders seem to have more problems for these two weeks... not sure its all true but i am now back to my starting weight of 231 as of tonight....UGHHH

Mom, you are not alone. I'm back at my highest weight also. I need to change my ticker. I would LOVE to see you on TBL! We could cheer on our very own chick! I also think your husband would appreciate you a whole lot more if he had to deal with the kids all that time.

Not much going on today but work. This coming week I get 3 days off though b/c of the holiday. I get tues, thurs, and sat off. Yay. I think I'm just cooking for me and df. My mom will probably come up for xmas but not both. Since I'm in retail I can't get off b/c of black friday. What are y'all doing for Thanksgiving?

Hope-lol thats true he would..lol i know you guys would def. cheer me on!!So I started doing some taping for it...its very hard because I am trying to be quiet and hold the camera myself. i am just going to do the detail stuff myself and then get my friend to go with me to the park with the kids and tape there...MIGHT even do some taping with my teens at youth...even though i dont know yet if i want to tell them. Only three people and you guys know I am doing this so far!* But your suppose to show who you are on the tape and my kids and my teens is who I am... ok I need to get it done so i can get it sent since the cast just started and theres no casting calls yet. if i can get it in now maybe I have a better chance!!ok lata chicks!!

G'Morning,

Good to see you all Nothing much is going on in this neck of the woods. No news is good news

Everyone getting ready for Thanksgiving? I have my tky breast but thats about it. Funny, usually this time of year I have it all together.. oh well lol.

Have a great Monday chickies.

Leenie

good morning everyone

momof4, THANKS for the justification of the past week; how can we fight the forces of the moon making us crazier , and gravity making us weigh more, and then I have TOM to add to that

and mom, I have meant to ask, is your avatar your gram and yourself?

hope4me, we (DH and sons) have been going to friends' houses for T-giving for the past 3 years. I had to make a really hard decision not to go to my mom's house, because I would dread it and it was just too stomach-hurting.

My older brother is disabled with schizophrenia, and I don't know who regulates his meds but one year he said he was going to kill our sister, who tried to comfort him when he was getting agitated. My sister herself is hard to take, and for years my mom was an alcoholic (she has since kicked it herself, bless her) SOOO for all those reasons there were lots of uncomfortable (to say the least) memories and I had to get away from it.

We visit her on our way to our friend's house, before everyone gathers, and she seems okay with that.

I lucked out this year, in that my two days off a week are Wednesday and Thursday

hello to everyone else

Good morning ladies! I'm offically 205, which means 20 lbs down. My ticker says 55 to go - I'd like it to be 65... hmmm... Why am I so utterly disatisfied with loosing 20 lbs? It should be more! arg!

I really don't want to go home for Christmas. I'm in the "I don't want any of my old friends to see how fat I've gotten" mood.

Mom - I think you may be right on with the moon affecting mental disorders... sheesh. And I don't watch TBL, but if you were on it I would totally start!

VT - Enjoy your days off! That makes getting ready for the holiday much more relaxing!

Lennie, Hope, Budly, havisham, Pure, and everyone else...

Beth - has the CD made a difference in your level of fitness or stress related things? Or both? I'd love to try it if it's a stress buster. Stress is the devil!

Have a great day ladies...

vermont mom-yeah thats my gram and I..its actually the last picture of her alive at the end of Aug. I have been trying to change it but it keeps saying upload failed when I try..our puter has been acting weird lately even after my dh crashed it..so i dont know...bout TG-sometimes you just have to do things that are best for you...I know we feel like we have to go to my moms because we have been going there for years...every year we are like WE WONT do this next year...yet we do..i dont wanna hurt my moms feelings but weve wanted to have our own and my dad is the type of person hes had tG at home all these years hes not having it anywhere else...go figure old men...haha...

mar-thats awesome your 20 lbs down....sometimes it is hard to celebrate when you look at how much you still have to go and then 20lbs dont seem like much i know what you mean!!!

so I am going to have my friend do some taping of me with my teens on wed night then me teaching drama also me doing some drama and then me playing with my kids at the play ground. I did a clip of me and my info but I dont want the tape to be boring and just watching me sitting there talking. Ive watched some auditons of ones that got on the show and other ones...The ones that got on took them thru their daily life and doing things...the ones that didnt just sat infront of the camera and talked...boring...LOL...I will hopefully have it done and ready to send out by monday!! I am excited even if I dont get on cause its something I have never done so for once I am doing something different than I normally do!!!
I want to be on the show to learn the healthy eating tips and for me but then if i can get the right tools and take the time out of my business to change something then I can change others. There are sooo many teens in this area who have eating disorders. I can help these girls in most every area except this. i can tell them what to do but i dont have a healthy eating pattern I binge eat at times or I eat with my emotions...it is really hurting my body the same as them cutting with their emotions....I have managed to conqueror so much thru my life and used it all as stepping stone and its like this one is right at the top of the mountain but I cant find any ledges to push me there! I help my family, the teenagers, foster kids and fellow church members but yet I still deal with this issue...We live in this city and we are working on a community center for after school programs and more and this could be a way to reach out to this city even more!! To reach that teenage girl that struggles with her weight and tell her if I can do it sooo can she and be the one there believing in her even when her parents and friends dont....but right now I allow my weight to hold me back soooo much!!

OK JESSICA OFF THE SOAP BOX AGAIN...for real you guys are going to vote me off fat chicks soon..i know it...LOL i just know I haven't been so excited bout something like this before!! I try to figure out in my mind who can watch my kids the boys school etc...and really why worry bout it cause I know God will make a way where there seems to be no way (right ? for all you christians out there)

im going to watch a movie, the kids are napping and I did cleaning last night so i didnt get to watch my movie!! Ok lata ladies!

Gosh, I should really be in bed!

I'm off tomorrow but I have a lot I want to do. I need to do my Thanksgiving dinner shopping, not all of it, I just need to get my menu together and see what I don't have. Of course, I need to clean the house. What is a day off without cleaning? I need to pick up some mascara and foundation that I'm almost out of and I need to do some school work. I need to have all of this done so I can go out to dinner with some friend's from work and be home in time for The Biggest Loser (future show starring Momof4!!).

Vermont, yeah that sounds like a lot to deal with on a holiday. I have an aunt the has schizophrenia and there have been some interesting situations with her in the past. I feel so bad for her because they really can't seem to get all of her meds right, and boy does she take a lot of them.

Marbear, I feel exactly how you do most everyday of my life. In fact it's pretty much all about avoidance for me. Don't forget though that 20lbs is an awesome accomplishment, one that I'm quite envious of right now. I know it's not all you want before you see some people again but try to feel good about that for yourself. Will you definitely run into these people? I know I can go home and just see family and pretty much avoid the rest of the town. Is that an option for you?

Leenie, at least somebody else hasn't done all of their shopping!

Ok, gotta hit the hay so I can get up and tackle the day tomorrow.

good morning everyone today I get to make a choice and be an adult about a situation....I usually get paid on Fridays but i haven't received a check yet...I KNOW the payroll arrived because I saw the big envelope from the payroll service arrive last week...one should NOT have to ask to have their paycheck!! grrrrr.

and if I don't get it today, then the next possibility will be this Friday which will be a full week late. If any of you are small business owners (this business has 5 employees) I would love a different perspective...I make an effort to always be at work if not on time, even early...and I make an effort to do what is expected of me and beyond.

Okay thanks for listening I hope everyone has a good day
