Emilymay- good job it does feel great. I have jeans waiting for me but my stomach is still a bit big yet. Take a deep breath and let God have it things will work out.

Voodoo1- good job on the loss and have fun at your parents.

hbieber- good job on the five pounds, way to go.

Annie- Praying for you as always.

Jac- LOL that is something i would do almost punch my eye out.

Twilight- Prayers are with you.

Lost- Great Job1

Hippie- Good job and ohhhh the haunted trail sounds like so much fun.

As for me it has been raining here like crazy and my internet has been iffy, one day up one day down. I admit I have been taking a break winter is coming and I always go into a deep depression. Dr Said I need to move to a warmer climate, my DBF is in San Diego and i want to be there very much, I am going in march but do not know what is going to happen with us, we have been doing a long distance relationship and need to figure out what is going to happen with us. I am still doing well i lost half a pound so i need one more to reach 20 lbs, i am not upset as the slower it goes the slower it will come back on. Well sorry for the novel and sorry once again for my absence.

Hippie - WOOHOO on the weight loss!

Kayleystar - WOOHOO as well on the weight loss!

Lostbutstilltrying - I'm making myself do it, the exercise, but lol I could do more. I'm trying to keep it going, last week I only did 5 days as I was sick one, so that was disappointing. I think I'm learning that balance I so desperately need! As I sometimes I have to do with my workouts, balancing is hard to master. lol

Tracy - Haha yeah...I tend to get a bit cocky when I do the punches...not so much with the kicks, but I do try to get my friggin' feet up there. Sounds like you are not a winter person, maybe you need to be outside! I think the winter does tend to make me more happy, but you know this year for the first time in ages I actually started to appreciate the warmer months.

Pink - Hang in there!

Today I feel SOOOOOOO much better. I made myself sleep in this morning and just got REST. I'm so happy I did. I still have dark circles under my eyes, but I'm obviously a bit run down. I get so depressed when I am not feeling well and being nauseous for 4 days in a row just drains me. I'm starting to level off and getting back to eating fresh foods. I've been too dependent on cooked and I don't ever feel well when I do that. So, I NEED fresh stuff, raw foods. The thing is when I get in these ruts I just simply go toward the wrong way. I really do need that balance...I think that is a major challenge for me.

Today I'm going to attempt Tae Bo again, but without yawning I hope. I can't do all of the moves, I struggle and such, but I do try my best. I also am going to get a new DVD by Amy Dixon, LOVE HER, and it is a kickboxing, aerobic, strength, core workout. I love that, so I'm all excited. I mean me excited about a workout. lol...

I think I need to start planning on doing mostly cardio and such as the weather gets worse and worse for walking. So, I'm going to focus on that this week so when I do walk I can do a 60 minute brisk one, with a bit of jogging hopefully, and be satisfied.

Going to go prepare some food for breakfast and do some food prep today. Finally getting back at it! to everyone!

morning ladies..

I went back to work yesterday after having the 2 weeks off. I must say..everyone missed me and was so happy I was back. I did get a little sleepy about half way through the day.

I am still have massive headaches. I dont know if it is still my sleeping or if it is allergies.

TOM arrived last night and I feel yucky. I hate that I feel this way when it comes!

Cyn, how is the lack of the gallbladder? No more attacks? You were soooo miserable before it came out. Give yourself time to recoup, even though it's a simple surgery it's still considered major! Hugs to you.

Luv,
Ratkity

I had an NSV today that i had to come on and tell you guys about...my husband bought me a nice watch for xmas last year it is one of those watches that doesnt stretch and its got links well when i put it on xmas day it was really tight i couldnt even move it and it was pretty uncomfortable so i put it aside and i saw it today and decided to try it on and OMG it fits great and it slides around and it looks nice and not like the blood supply is being cut off from my wrist...im so excited and im gonna wear it all the time now.

Here is a pic of me wearing it...

I know you guess probably wonder what im soo excited about my lately i have been finally notices big changes with my body and it feels sooo good ya know?

I have already been falling off my waving plan! Gah! Well, here is a with a promise I will be back tomorrow for a full update.

Hi girls...

I am just NOT DEALING with anything right now. I even feel too stressed to talk about it. I am oging to pop some anxieyt meds and se eif I feel better.

Just need soem... love???

THAT IS SO AWESOME. The other day I was doing something in the kitchen and my wedding ring almost fell off and I got so happy. The though of losing my rings scares to bejeezus out of me but the thought of it being too big is so cool! It always makes me so depressed when I find that I can't have things that "normal" people can have like a pretty bracelet or a watch...but now I'm focusing on getting closer and closer to that goal. One day I will make my husband take me to a fancy jewelry store and buy me a necklace or bracelet that previously wouldn't go around me. It's exciting!

Pinkflamingo HANG IN THERE!!!Do you have a close friend/family member who can come and help you sort all your college/home/everything else out? I find if there's someone there it really helps motivate me to just get on & do 'it' whatever 'it' is. I wish I lived close to you, I'd be there to give you a push and a HUG! Please try & do just one thing, make a list, prioritise then do one thing you will feel better & more able to more done too.xxxxxx
Well I have to do the last packing today but I fel like cr*p, had argument with hubby last night (he drank too much & I felt like ... ahem ..wifely rights, lol!!!) So I had a drink or several & then ate about 10 (!!!!!) crackers with butter!!! Dreading weigh in tomorrow...how stupid am I???
xxxxxsharon

Rat: I believe my gallbladder issues are better. I have some stomach issues..I know are not from my gallbladder since it is not there anymore lol. That is what a girl at work told me..since she had her gallbladder out. She told me she was tired alot for weeks afterwards. I seem to be really tired.

Kayley: whoohoo on the undies fitting

As for me: I got through work ok yesterday. Got home and cried in my hubbys arms. I know some of it is because TOM is here. ALOT of it is because I am obese. I have listened to yall on here and to other people..and I think your body just gets to the point where being obese makes ya yucky. I have no energy...and sleepy alot. I am trying to be positive...because I know things could be alot worse. We go through so much emotions in life..I need to just get a little better grip on it and deal with it. Now look I am rambling lol...

just stopped in for a quick good morning and good week to everyone - I'm going to be gone for a couple days, busy moving and then computer and internet will be done for the transfer - eating will probably be a little crazy, so I'll just pick up from where ever next week!

Have a wonderful weekend all!

Well...feeling under the weather today...a little cough, a little sneeze fest, but I think I don't feel "sick" but I feel a bit "sickly"...hopefully that makes sense.

I don't feel 100%, so I'm taking today as a rest day to get my rest and strength back. I do feel like this month my BC pills have taken their toll, but I also feel like I have a slight fever and just am generally unwell. I'll be fine, but don't like not feeling myself.

Had some sprouted bread toast this morning...waiting for a call for a meeting. EW! lol...

*HUGS* I Hope everyone is well today.

good morning ladies i actually slept 3.5 hours in one fell swoop last night.. most sleep i have had at one time in weeks.. they gave mom a cath and some phenabarbitol, and woo hoo.. we both slept some)

my food and exercise has been really crap the last couple weeks.. its amazing how being sleep deprived can really mess with good eating habits... i have ordered pizza prob 5 times in two weeks just cause i have been too tired to cook.. as well as too tired to exercise... im going to try to get back on track today since im feeling better and mom seems calmer. the last two weeks have been really bad.. my sis has COPD and is on disability.. anyhow she got the swine flu and ended up in hosp for two weeks.. part of that in CCU and she almost died... didnt thank God... my grandmother ws put on hospice this week, and then my moms stuff... no wonder i havnt had the physical or emotional energy to eat right or exercise.. well, taht sounds like a 'poor me' thing and im not havin it lol...
today is going to be better... one day at a time is all we can do..even tho i havnt been posting much i read all ya'lls daily just to try to keep up lol.. hope ou all have a wonderful day..
