Good Morning Gang!

uhmmmmm about the parachute jumping conversation I started yesteday girlies - I have never even been on a plane! LOL I have no idea if I would ever be able to jump out of a plane, at this point I don't even know if I would get on one but it just sounded like a really cool goal for turning 80. LOL

Leenie? how's the exercising going?

Kemp - hope things are going better today! hugs!

Hey Sheila - so good to see ya! glad you got some good news from the cardiologist! I was born with a heart murmur and it has never caused me any problems (that I know of). You sure got a lot of exercise in this weekend for not feeling like you did! you go girl! Have you tried any of Leslie Sansone's walking tapes? I love them! You might enjoy doing them when you cannot get outside for a walk.

I exercised again this morning! that makes 26 miles for June.

SueMarie - I am keeping track of my miles on the WATP thread on the Exercise Thread. I set a goal for 40 miles this month, and I think I will be able to make that no problem - as long as no unforeseen problems come up.

April - did you sleep last nite? I sure hope so!

Liz - glad dd's room turned out well. Do you happen to have a digital camera where you could post a picture that we could see? just wondering.

Cin - I know you have ww meetings today but how are you feeling girlie?

Soooooooo what's everybody up to today?

later gaters! hugs,
cathy

Good morning guys. I am having a better week so far. Although the 3lbs goal for me b-day doesn't look like it is getting any closer. I hope that on June 30 I just wake up and it is gone.

Shelia glad to hear about your nephew. I don't think I have ever known someone with a murmur b4.

Leens did you get your brkfast yet?

Cathy talking about the walking and charting it on Good Morning America this morning they were talking about you should walk 2000 steps in one day but to lose you should walk another 2000. I don't think I even come close to that. Talk about me me feel bad. I guess I need to get a pedometer to see what I really am doing.

I did manage to get home in time to cut the front yard at my house. It started to sprinkle when i first started so the mower got harder and harder to push. I ended up stopping b/c the yard was filling up with water. Plus, I was tired from pushing through wet grass. At least I got some exercise in.

Hi Ladies,

Sheila, praise God the little guy is okay. He will be in my prayers.

Cathy, exercising is slow but okay. Gotta get myself a bench lol. Good for you on the miles so far this month, thats awesome. I should count but I'd get depressed if I did

Liz, hope your pc feels better........seems alot of folks are having problems lately oy.

Kem, glad your feeling better today. Hey, 3 lbs is doable by your birthday, but you know, even if you lose 1, girl, thats still wonderful. Just keep trying is all that really matters and tell yourself, "you are doing it" !!! and thats a good thing

Well I finally did it !! I made an appt to see a quack to diagnose me with ADD or at least to see if I have anything like it. I go next tuesday morning..... my stomach is in knots but I'll be okay. EEEERRRRR!!!!!!! Getalong little dooogie.

Sheila, I've always suspected I've had it. My first visit w/the councelor, when I told her I thought I had it, she brushed it off. My 2nd visit last week I mentioned it to her again b/c she was throwing things at me, things I should be doing w/my life, such as get a hobby, do this do that...... well I looked at her w/a strange look in my eye and I said to her once again.........ummmm !!! I told you this last time I was here that I would get a hobby "IF" I could concentrate long enuf on one. I can't even read a few pages in a book w/out the old noggin wondering. So she said ohhhhhhhhh sounds like ADD and I should be tested..... WELL DUH!!!!!!!!!!! Sigh~~~~~~

There were a few things I told her the first stession that she blew off and then the 2nd session acted like it was the first time I told her. I was taken back at the lack of concern/or what ever, maybe since they are thru the company (free to me) she's not into it, you know money talks. I don't know what to expect from a councelor but I'm suspecting she doesn't know how to treat eating disorders even though she says she does. Something doesn't jive w/me. But I'm going to go back, maybe its just me?? I dunno.

So if getting on the right meds will help, I'm willing to try just about anything at this point.

Does this make sense?

Good morning everyone

Sheila.....I am glad to hear the good news about your nephew. I have a heart murmur.....it wasn't discovered until I was 7.....the doctor said back then.....that I probably had a light light case of rheumatic fever.....that my mother didn't know about. It's called a functional heart murmur....that means it doesn't cause any problems.

Cathy......I did go to sleep last night....slept all night.....thank goodness. I think the worst day was Sunday.....trying to come off the Celexa.....I was so sad on Sunday.....just a bit last night in the evening.

SueMarie.....I think the worst has come....on Sunday....trying to get off the Celexa.....hopefully it won't be as bad now. I don't know if I want to be on Celexa in the fall.

Kemp.....I am glad you are having a better week this week.

Liz.....when we were having so much trouble with our computer a few months back.....it turned out to be viruses....many of them....but we had it fixed....DS2 from Victoria came from Victoria on Vancouver Island....for all of you from the U.S.....might not know where Victoria was.....he fixed it.

Have any of you not gone on antidepressants because of the side effects? Any of them that I have been on....have left me with being really tired....sleeping in in the morning.....having afternoon naps....I never did this before.....plus other side effects....they don't help 100% anyway.

April

Default hello ladies

Well me and DH started our packing today for the move.OH BOY!!We are going to a one bedroom apartment that is very much like the one we lived in over a year ago.BIL is still in rehab doing alot better but we still don't know what is going to happen. We have to pack up all his stuff and put it in storage because we just can't afford to keep the 2 bedroom apt.We are hoping this move; will help us to get caught up on somethings and I may be able to start going to WW meetings again.

I have been thinking about going back to work alot lately.I am just scared that my depression will kick in like it always has in the past.The money would help out so much and I maybe able to get another rabbit.

Fufu is so good for me.He calms my nerves alot and focusing on him helps me to get up early in the morning.I have been feeling alittle overwhelmed and depressed lately.His furry little behind seems to help make things not feel so bad.Pet Therapy AHHHHH

Yesterday, Dh and I went fishing.I loved it because it was so relaxing and fun.I haven't went fishing in over 3 years.Dh was good at helping and he loved the fact that I decided to go.Since we have been married; we haven't spent much time together (as in going out and doing things).I think my social anxiety is starting to tone down some.I got sunburned even though I put sunblock on.Thats the curse of having such fair skin.

I have been trying to eat better too.I am still having a hard time getting motivated to exercise.I really wish I never stopped because its so hard getting started again.Well at least I haven't put the weight back all the way; so I must be doing something right somewhere.Its just not good enough for me lately.

I hope yall are well and are thinking of me because I think of yall.

*hugs*

Hi April

Lynnie !!! hey chickie poo. You know girlie, getting a job I think would be good therapy for you, not only will the money make you happy, but I think socializing w/folks will do you a world of wonder. Good Choice, I say go for it !! Worst come to worse you can leave and find another, or just leave. Don't let your depression stop you from giving it a try. You can do it.

As far as your diet and exercise go, take one small step at a time okay. Teeny changes are the best!!

Hugs
