Hi Everybody! How's everyone's week going so far? I was sorry to hear that some of you are having such a rough time lately, especially Tina and the rough patch she's going through and Stephanie and all the work load, canadian mom and her meds...hope everyone is doing better today!!!
I'm doing pretty good this week with eating, the weekend was NOT good but I'm just trying to move on and do my best now.
artmaker-Glad you had a good time at the wedding, sounds like it was fun! My husband's company is taking all the employees to a show called Tony and Tina's Wedding. Did you ever hear of it? It's a show where you are at the wedding and recption with the actors. There's food, drinks, dancing, it should be interesting...
angel- I REALLY wish I lived in Vegas! I try to go once if not twice a year. But no, I'm in the good old midwest...
Tina-Hang in there! You'll get back on track, I wouldn't let you get too far off. I know how hard you've worked for this, and you're so close to your goal and you look great!!! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help!
canadian mom-that's rough being put on meds that make you gain. Hang in there!
Stephanie-congrats on the weight loss! The lightest you've been in 3 years, that's awesome! Good luck with the new job!
Well the husband went and got a job he will hate in the city I am working in just so he could be with me. He will wait it out at this new crummy job until his the job in his feild goes through so we will not have to be apart for too long. Just a little over 3 weeks. What a sweety huh? Eating is going well. I have been so busy and stressed I have not really been all that hungry lately. Food has not been ruling me like it normally does. So it has been *gasp* easy to make good decisions about what I put in my mouth.
Today continues on with the cleaning. Only two rooms left which is exactly the number of days I have to do it in. DH's family is coming in from out of town and although they are not staying with us they are staying in town so we will be spending most of our time with them.
Here is to a good day ladies. Its a time of change. A change of season, a change in attitude make the changes you need today to be the you that you yearn to be tomorrow!
Susan - Not permanantly tabled, the company is just notoriously bad at taking their time. Could be a few months. A spoonful of mustard, sounds icky but maybe genius I hadn't heard that one.
vegas - Good for you moving on from bad eating and just taking control. I need to learn to be better about that. Thanks for the luck I may need it hehe.
Tina - Maybe switch up your routine. Find something that excites you. Running was this "something" for me. Maybe try a class? Anything to get you excited about it. There is always the law of contrary behavior as well. Feel like skipping your workout...finish it. Feel like eating a cookie, put it down. WHen you know your brain is in a funk and cannot possibly be making the right decisions for you just making yourself do the opposite can work wonders. When we are on track and doing well it almost seems easy to stay there. We can feel the reward, the confidence the "streak" we are on. When we fall off it is so hard to get back on. My only advice would be to just fake it till you make it. Make yourself go through the motions and put down the food until it starts to feel good, like an accomplishment again. Oh and if that doesn't work remember you are my own personal she goddess You can't waiver you are my inspiration.
Another day of food being a non issue. Another day of too busy to get my exercise in. I have just one room left in my house to clean then I have to pack for next week and my new job.
Today I have to work the at home, clean the bedroom, watch Grey's Anatomy (my crack) and spend some time with my lovely husband who I am going to be away from all week. Oh yeah and I have a ton of stuff to put together for the client I am meeting on Sat about a wedding. When do I get to just veg out?
I am back on track with food....pulled a muscle in my leg while exercising today so I may off that for a couple of days. Today I have been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off trying to get an ultrasound booked actually it's been 2 days...but I finally got it on Monday to check my linning so the egg donor can go on her meds.I am hoping that we may even be able to transfer late november.
steph-- that is good news that your hubby is willing to move
Hi Everyone! Well, today's weigh in was dissapointing. No change.
I'm a little worried since today is my youngest son's b-day(cake), Sunday is his party at a pizza buffet(lots of pizza, more cake) and Monday is our 12th wedding anniversary(day out with my husband). All fun stuff but it all involves lots of food. I hope I can hold it steady!
Steph-Hope you can squeeze in a little time to relax!
CMom-Good for you for getting back on track! Hope the pulled muscle is better soon.
Good luck to everyone! Hope all is well with everyone else. Have a great weekend!

Hello ladies! Well let's start with it's FRIDAY!!!!!! I love Friday's!!! This weekend is super busy for me though. Tommorow I have my cousins going away party, he is joining the Coast Guard. I am really excited for him and he is super excited about going. He has been in a lot of trouble in the past and I think it is great he is going to do something positive. I totally forgot that tommorow is Sweetest's Day also not that we really do anything for it. Sunday is Cindy's son's birthday party and like she mentioned at a pizza buffet that has really good pizza. I will have to make sure to load up on a nice big salad to start. I don't have to cook all weekend though so that is a plus for me. Weigh-In today was not so hot. I am up 1/2 pound so that puts me at 138. I am going to have to kick it into gear next week. I am feeling alot better though so that is good. Well that is about it for me. Hope you all have a great weekend!
Jen I hope your leg starts feeling better. That has to be really uncomfortable. Have a good day!
Steph I am another Grey's freak. I love this new Dr. McSteamy also he is not so hard on the eyes either. Do you watch Nip/Tuck that is another hot doctor. I have a date with my tivo this afternoon to watch. Have a great weekend.
Susan & Angel I hope you both are doing good. Have a great weekend.
My ultasound went well my endo lining is good now I just wait to hear from the doc as to a transfer date and when to change my meds. My legs is better so I hope to work out tonight.
Just found out that the egg retrival from the donor will happen Nov.2 so it looks like I may be implanted Nov.3. Just waiting for conformation. It went from mid Dec. to early Nov.
Hi girls!! Life is crazy at the moment.....I start a new job tommorow!!! Its been 5 yrs since I last worked and ready or not, I work 2 shifts (that I know of) this week. hehe....I've been trying on suitable clothes and shoes, hope I can still walk in high heels. Food has been disasterous and excercise has been hit and miss. Once I know my schedule, I hope things settle down and I can get back into the groove.
Tina....thanks for thinking of me!! How was the bday party? and more importantly......pizza or cake? If you had to choose, which would it be?
Luv Vegas.....How was your sons birthday party? yummm a pizza buffet, my idea of heaven. Happy Anniversary!! Did you celebrate?
Canadian Mom....wow, looks like everthing is going well with the egg implant etc. wooohooo, keep us updated , so exciting!!!
Hello everyone! My son's b-day party went great! The food was good and I think everyone had a good time. Then yesterday my husband and I celebrated our anniversary ALL day. We dropped the two youngest kids off at my mom's at 10:30 am and off we went for a day of shopping, eating out and just having fun. We didn't get back home until 10:30 pm so all the kids were tucked in for the night. It was great!
Angel- Good luck with the new job! I bet you'll get back on track when things settle down.
c mom- Sounds like a lot is happening, and fast! Good luck with everything!
Tina- Did you get your voice back???
This was a BAD weekend for me, that I know! I have to get right back on track today!
I hope I haven't gained too much with all the celebrating...
Good morning ladies! I am dragging a little today but as the day goes on I seem to be picking up speed so that is good. Okay well let's just say this weekend was bad eating wise and exercise wise so basically just BAD!!!! I had a really nice weekend though so that was GOOD! On Saturday my husband and I got out without the kids and enjoyed some adult time. Sunday was my nephews party which was really nice. I got to see my baby twin nieces and hold them for the first time. They are really cute I just still can't get over the fact that there are two of them. Adorable though and seem like really good babies. I have this sinus headache going on today and it is not feeling so hot. I feel pressure right between my eyes and all's I want to do is shut them. Yesterday for the first time in I don't know how long I got in my bed and took a nap. It felt so good and I think with these long dark days coming that may be just what the doctor ordered. I have been feeling a lot better mentally though so that is making me happy. I can't believe how fast the holidays are coming. I know they are the same time every year but they always seem to sneak up on me. I am really looking forward though to decorating and enjoying myself this season. Well that is about it for me. I am so glad I can communicate with you all even though I don't have a voice. Hope you all have a fantastic day!
Angel I would take pizza over cake anyday. I am not a super big sweet person more the salty girl. Good luck with your new job.
Jen sounds like everything is moving along good for you. Keep us posted. So does that mean by Christmas you will be pregant?
Steph and Susan how are things going? Hope you both are doing well.
Just a quick note....thinking of all of you but am spending all my time studying for my test in two weeks. Really don't expect to pass this time around but will get a feeling for how the test goes. Just too much to learn and since I have procrastinated too much not enough time to stuff it in my brain. Trying to fit in exercise but not succeeding well. Eating has gone to **** in a handbasket, but I am trying to maintain a 4 pound gain from the wedding and the week after and not let it go any worse. argh.....this too will pass. stay well all....I shall be back!
Ok ladies, I am back as well. I am now at my parents and two days into my new job. I am loving it, I think it may be a longterm (years and years) type job that I will really enjoy while I get my degree. Also they have a weight/workout room that I have already signed up for. I am going to start working out after work to avoid the traffic. I just have to make sure I bring my workout clothes. I have been bringing my lunch and other than drinking too much coffee things are going pretty well.
I am hoping to be more consistently on here...but really busy with the new job. Have a great week ladies!
Tina - yeah I love nip/tuck as well. Both great shows. I have a friend who is in med school and she says they are totally inaccurate though lol, oh well gream drama! Don't let that weekend get you down, just make up for it with the rest of this week.
Everyone else - Kind of out of time for this post but hope you are all doing well!
