Thanks everyone! I did get some sleep...but then it seems like I start getting some good sleep and then it's time to get up for work!

I just got off the phone with my pharmacist and apparently my doctor wrote my prescription for 30 days and 6 refills instead of 90 days at 3 refills..it costs me 20 dollars for each prescription so its a heck of a lot cheaper to get 90 pills for 20 dollars instead of 30 for 20 dollars...so now I am gonna have to get that all sorted. So after I got off the phone with them, I started having my symptoms of a panic attack..it always feels like I cannot catch my breath..so then I had to take an Ativan..and now I am sitting here trying to just relax!

Lovebirds--that's terrific news about your grandmother!

momof4 - wow I am so sorry that your day is going horribly! I do hope they can get everything all worked out.

buddly - hope you are feeling better today!

Purefire - good for you for sticking to your plan and doing your exercises and pushing yourself when you thought the workout was to easy! You should be proud of yourself!

Vermontmom - I like those lower carb diets the best but they do take some planning but they seem easy to stick to once you do that. Hope it works for you

Morning Ladies....

VT ~ Its hard to eat right when your not use to doing it use to doing it.... Good job on getting everything you need to do done... You should bring apple slices or carrot sticks or something like that with you to work.. So when you think you want a sweet have a piece of apple or two instead of the sweets...

Kerri ~ Hope you get your prescriptions fixed...

Lovebirds ~

mom ~ I'm glad that things are being fixed....

Unfortunately I have class this morning... It is a make up day for not having class on the 18th for the holiday and since I already missed a class I have to go... It gets me ahead in the stuff I need to know for the final in the class on Wednesday and as soon as we finish the lecture that is planned we can leave and get credit for the whole day....

Yesterday my best friend calls me... and says lets have a cheat day... Now I have only been sticking to my eating right for a week but I went over and had Chinese with her anyway.... Chinese is my weakness... Then we both decided to do Wii fit... That thing is such a workout when you do the right exercises... So we basically had something not so good for us to eat and then workout after.....

I need to go grocery shopping today.. and get food. There's not that much to eat in this house.. I think I am going to go to the meat market when I get out of school and get alot of chicken since that is really the only food I like to eat....

Other than that with a few other exceptions things are good this morning...
Still kind of depressed...

Have to get ready for class.. Have a wonderful Friday

[VermontMom]

good (cold!!!) morning ladies

Kerri, I hope it won't be too much of a pain to get your prescription corrected, because that sure is a big difference in cost! Yes I need to plan for my meals, I have 2 portable lunches ready in the fridge. And lots of salad fixings already prepped.

Purefire, hope your class is good and you can enjoy the rest of the day. My planned snacks for work are a cup of yogurt, and a cheese stick.

mom, I'm so glad that the misunderstanding is not going to be believed.

Mrs. Brady, you sound good this morning

and :wave to everyone else!

I'm doing a little better than I have been. If I feel bad now, it's biochemical. My stomach has been messed up, and my blood sugar was astronomical this morning. That's going to affect my way of thinking and everything; an extreme episode of hyperglycemia can even mimic psychosis. Well, I'm aware of it, gotta get it down before my day starts in earnest. Exercise and water, besides the insulin, that's what it's going to take.

Purefire, a list is what I need and I have thought about it but just haven't done it. Thank you, now I just need to follow through.

Just wanted to stop in and say hi. I was off today and again didn't get much done. Well I did some things but needed to study big time and didn't at all and of course, didn't clean the house. I did workout and go to the grocery store. We are expecting a big snow storm tomorrow so I am excited. Strange huh? I've gotta work at 6am is the only bad thing. Oh well, I'll get to watch it fall all day.

Have a good Saturday ladies. Hugs to all.

good evening and best wishes to those who are getting pummeled by snow!! its been crazy this winter. We (the skiing industry) WANT and NEED the snow, but we haven't been getting it. Those who DON'T want it are getting it!

I have been doing GOOD lately!! Maybe its the consistant exercise...and taking my Wellbutrin every night...and using my Happy Light almost every day...but probably also just the time of year, I have passed my worst part of winter and now it's lighter earlier and later in the day.

And I am following your advice that I am planning my lunches and making them up ahead of time and planning snacks that I bring. So....drumroll....this is my 3rd day in a row of on-program eating and NO BAD TREATS!! I had been having a huge (like 300 calorie at least) cakey cookie sweet thing every single day for a long time. Like since late October

I am feeling so good at feeling 'in control'. I sure hope I can keep it up

You guys ever get the feeling that no one likes you? My cell phone was disconnected for over a week and no one knew because no one called/texted/IM'd me. I wish I was anyone else other then me.

Last month our elderly cat had a stroke. She recovered, but tonight she's relapsed. She may not make it till morning. Her head hangs low, she wants to be left strictly alone, her breathing is slow, and her heartbeat is fast but faint. Hubby wants to let nature take its course. But if she goes 24 hours like this, I'll try to convince him to let the vet send her on.

[VermontMom]

Mrs. Brady, so sorry about your kitty

Aunty Jam, aw, I am sure they all still like you

[Purefire]

Morning Ladies......

I hope everyone is doing good this cold Sunday morning.

Lovebirds ~ When something is going on with your body... everything else seems wrong to. Hopefully now that you know what is going on.. The exercise and water will help with your insulin and you will start feeling better.
Sorry to hear about your kitty.

Hope ~ List are what seems to help.. If you need help keeping on track... You can always count on me.. Sometimes though even when you have a list of what you need to do.. it helps to take a day off from it and just spend a day doing what you want.. But keeping busy even with following a schedule (list) sometimes helps more than anything else... As for the snow.. all I can say is eww.. I don't really care for the white stuff..

Vermont ~ Way to Go on keeping on plan.. I am glad the idea of planning your meals is working for you... Keep it going....

Aunty ~ I've been there.. My phone was never disconnected but I have gone a week with no one texting or calling.. It gets lonely and feels like no one cares.. Its such a horrible feeling... Don't let it get to you... I am sure everyone still likes and loves you.

Its been a rather rough weekend... I have a friend who has alot of issues.. and I have been trying to help her but it is so hard for her.. I have her writing me emails everyday when she is feeling depressed... but sometimes it is to much even for me... and considering I am her only friend.. it makes life interesting at times... I am trying to be there when she needs me.. but I can't always be.. Yesterday she met my best friend and they seemed to hit it off.. My best friend likes her.. and since she is exactly how I am she is going to start being there for my friend.. Hopefully having another friend will help her.. She feels so alone... I just don't know what to do other than be there....

Other than my cheat day on Thursday.. I have been staying on plan for the most part.. The only problem is... I don't even hit my calorie intake for the day.. I have been hitting around 500 calories less.. and simply 700 or 800 calories doesn't seem like enough. I am just not hungry like I use to be... and I try not to eat when I am not hungry..

This week is finals week at school so I will be doing a lot of studying and less everything else... Which is pretty normal...

Have to go get a shower in and then make a breakfast for 4. I am going to my best friends house this morning and said I would bring breakfast.. We are going to spend the day hanging out and also working out on the wii fit.. I am bringing my flash cards with me so I can study for my Clinical test while she is on the wii...

[Aunty Jam]

No, no, there's no "still" about it. It's gone for weeks wiht nothing. I don't care anymore.

This morning, Tuffy is in a coma. Hubby is holding her in his arms, until they call her name up there.

She was already a grown cat when she came to live with hubby almost 7 years ago. I've been in his life for only the past 2 1/2, and I can see he's losing a dear, dear friend. I'll not neglect my own needs, of course, but I'm concentrating mainly on being there for him.
