good morning gang

I have had the craziest and busiest week (with the fire at work and my youngest son being gone for 14 days working on a landrig making some money for the summer) and my scale is up several pounds this morning....hmmmmm stress seems to do that to me and my house is absolutely filthy.

Soooooo I will be cleaning house all day today.

Hope everybody else has a clean house and is doing something fun today

hugs,
Cathy

Good Morning

Trish, I'm sooooo sorry to hear about your friend, gee that brings tears to my eyes. I know what its like to lose a best friend (my sister). I just pray that she is not in alot of pain. What is her name, I will pray for her. Hugs to you hon and cry, its the only thing we can do.

Grem, your going to be where you were very soon. I know it saddens you to think of your pre-weight, I was 165 when I got married.... and ballooned nicely up to almost 265, so I hear your fustrations. Things change, our bodies change so if I never get to 165 again... I'll be happy getting close to it. I'm not 25 anymore. Your DH is probably like mine, they love us no matter what. Keep up the good work, your almost there !!!

Cathy, clean my house too. Hang in there chicklet, I feel like I can relate to your days lately. Love Yah !

Stephanie have a good weekend and enjoy CT and the movies. life surely is full of challenging moments.

Buddly, (brain fart) where are you going with the kiddies? Your lucky you can sew.. I can make a pillow or a hem but thats it, when it comes to putting things together is where I have major problems lolol. Sorry the decreas of meds didn't work this week but yeah, being under stress is not the time to change things. Hang in there, things will calm down soon.


My niece needs surgery on her throat, she is 6 years old. The doctors suspect cancer but we won't know for sure until they take it out (tumors in her throat). Her surgery is next friday the 21st. I just believe in my heart that it is not cancer, its a feeling thats deeper than anything I can explain. The doc said if it is, she will have to go to Philly, PA... I believe there is a childrens cancer hospital there.

Soooo thats whats been engulfing my brain this past week.... Lots of sibbling issues as well.

This weekend I will clean and relax by the pool... maybe with a wine cooler LOLOL (I don't drink hehehe).

How bout you ?

Good Morning,

Boy am I beat, I can't remember the last time I slept until 8:30 am LOL.

Nothing much is going on, SOSDD. Today the only thing I have planned is to plop into the pool, do some laundry and thats about it. How about you?

Does anyone have any goals / challenges for this comming week? I do, I'm really gonna pay attention to my calories. I'd like to lose 2 lbs by next sunday. (well I'd really like to lose 50 lbs by next sunday but I'll settle for 2 lol).

Hey Leenie - thanks for the question. yes I have some goals for the week - I have some things at work that I have to get done that I won't bore y'all with but also another goal I have is to not buy anything sweet or chocolate for the week - that has been my downfall lately - to be out running errands or trying to pick up this or that and grabbing some sort of quick snack that I shouldn't be having. My goal is to eat low cal this week with no store bought snacks.

and you are tooooooooo cute by the way with your - "well I'd really like to lose 50 lbs by next sunday but I'll settle for 2" - me too girlie - meeeee toooooo!

my youngest son just came in from working 14 days on a landrig - it is a summer job - good money - but he has never been away from home but for a day or two, so this was a long stretch for me. I think he is really glad to be home even tho he won't say it quite like that. He has gone to pick up his girlfriend and they are on their way back here and then I'll fix something he likes for supper.

hope everybody has a great weekend
hugs,
cathy

All wonderful occassions but I need to get back to work to get some rest!

Hugs to everyone and hoping to pop in more during the coming week but I can't make any promises.
