Hi girls! I read thru most of the posts.. sorry, I'm just so swamped right now. Wish I could reply to each of you today, but it'll have to wait.
I have been eating right most days and some over on other days .. fat is almost alwaaaaaays good tho. I was at 205 this morning. It could be worse.. plus all the salt can't be helping~ LOL!
I am not obsessing! I'm still down 72 lbs~!~
You all are doing very very well too! I even wrote down everything I ate each day on vacation! Uggh.. yes, I did eat too much most days of it tho.. LOL!
There is quite a story behind my YMCA adventure.. to make it very short, I went in one day with $154.00 to pay my joining fee and the first month for my family and was informed that since we are a foster family.. each of my foster children would have to pay $23.00 a month (for each of the four kids) plus Bryan and I and our son would be $54 a month. So roughly, what?, $146.00 a month?? I clarified that if I had adopted them all then we would pay the 'regular family' fee of only $54 per month, no matter how many kids we had. They said correct. Well, I don't agree with their little policy, needless to say. So now I am waiting to see if the director is going to change this rule. It's discriminating. We are the only family our kids have now.. all of my four who are foster kids have parents who have been terminated on, so no one has rights to them except us, until they are adopted. I think they deserve the same treatment as we 'normal, regular, standard' people do!!! I just dunno about some people!!
Ok, so I had my husband call the director because he can get to the point quicker than I do when I'm on my soap box.. so she said it's because one other foster family had 8 kids, and would leave them there all day long. Ok, so??? Deal with that particular family! I just don't get it... so we are waiting.. she said she might can 'waive' it for us... like she would be doing us a big favor.. You would think, if anything, the way they say they want to help the community, that they might even discount it for us (which I did not ask for or expect), or like I said, at least leave it the same!! They turned down my money bc they don't want my kids there. I have had these particular children for nearly two years! They are very respectable and responsible, polite kids.. they are doing very, very well considering what they have been through!
It's ridiculous.. and if it gets too ugly, I'm sure we won't want to go there if they have bad feelings toward us, so I may have to just go to some other gym on weekends when my DH is home to watch them.. this sucks.
Sorry to ramble, keep ur fingers crossed that it all goes well for us
hope u have a great week everyone.. hugssss
