good morning gang

how's everybody today?

Heather and Peanut - ya'll are putting us to shame with those great workouts. I have got to get myself back in the routine of getting up early in the mornings. I was thinking "next week" after this busy weekend ahead of me and now I've realized we are doing Daylight Savings Time on Sunday and will be losing an hour and getting up even earlier. boy oh boy oh boy

I'm busy at work today - but will check back later

hugs,
Cathy

Morning Cathy and all to follow.....I woke up in a funk today........feeling down and a little more than a bit worried about my exam Saturday........I feel like I am not retaining anything.

I am also feeling really down on myself physically. I am really feeling like the most unattractive one........everywhere I go..........just really dark today.....anyhow I will get my nose in the books and push ahead.

And to make matters worse I have no milk for my coffee.....

Hi Cathy! No shame as long as you're trying . Sounds like things are pretty crazy there right now. I hope they calm down for ya soon. It's Daylight Savings Time this weekend???? Oh great, just when I finally get used to the new schedule that I've set up .
Liz I'm sorry things aren't going so good today. Maybe you're studying too much. I know that sometimes a person can overload themselves when they study too hard. As far as your feelings about your body and attractiveness I wish I could give you some great wisdom to make that better, but all I have is hang in there, it will get better and we're here for ya.
I did a good workout today (bout the same as yesterday, but did a little more on the circuit training) then went to the grocery to pick up a few things, dropped off the movies at the video store, came home made lunch, and now I have to clean the house and finish the laundry. But then again the laundry isn't ever really finished is it!
My DH has decided to join the gym also. He has about 20 lbs. to lose and needs to tone up. He also has high blood pressure and cholesterol. He said that I am the one who motivated him to do it because he sees how much better my moods are and that I am losing weight and getting healthy. Who'd have thunk it. I motivated him without saying a word. He will go after he gets off of work so we won't get to work out together, but then again that could be a good thing. I love my time at the gym cause it's MY time. The kids are in the nursey and at school and hubby is at work so it's just me, but I do enjoy spending time with my Dh....oh well. Anyway I'm off to the housework. I hope everyone is doing ok today. I'll check back later.

Hey everyone!! I'm finally back from New York. My trip was AWESOME!! I love cities so much. I can't wait to live in Minneapolis for college next year.

My depression/anxiety were fine with the exception of Sunday. We had to sing in a catholic church that day, and I felt incredibly uncomfortable there because I'm not Christian (I'm agnostic - I'm not sure what I believe in really) and most certainly not catholic so it seems odd being forced to go to a church service. It technically isn't illegal but I don't think it was right to make a school group go to a church. Afterwards I was incredibly exhausted because we'd gotten very little sleep and feeling down from that. Then I saw my friend crying because of something totally unrelated and I broke down. I couldn't stop then, so they let me stay on our bus and a friend and my chaperone stayed with me so I could sleep. I think they were happy to get some rest, too. What sucked was that I missed seeing Ground Zero, but when we drove by it I saw that it was nothing more than a construction site right now for the new memorial. I'll go back someday to see the memorial.

What's even better... I stayed on my diet for the WHOLE TRIP!!! I did sort of "cheat" by having white rice a couple times (but who can resist sushi?!) and I had a couple little cookies and chocolates but my mom says I look like I've lost weight since I've been gone. It's TOM right now so I won't weigh myself just yet but we'll see on Sunday if I'm down at all.

I hope everyone had a good week!!
