I forgot to weigh in this morning. But great for those of you who lost. I haven't been too together here lately. That's why I thought this challenge would get me back in gear!!!
I guess I'll try to tell you about what has been going on in my life, Sit down, this will be a long story. I have been a "regular" here at 3FC for about 5 years at the 300+ for about 3. Here lately, I've been psoting on the OLD HENS threads.
Stacy, like you my DH, OleAlvin, and I had our own business, but the bottow fell out this year. We manufactured and sold parts for Mustangs and when the price of gasoline started rising so much, people didn't have money to buy the accessories for their cars. To make a long story shorter, in July I started back to work for the group of doctors that I worked for before I went to work with DH. I had been going to the health club and working out and taking 9:00 classes and then getting to work about 11:00. Big change!!! That was July and I still haven't gotten my act together enough to get regular with my workouts again.
I started to work on a Monday and the next Monday night my sister & I had to take our mother who had never been sick a day in her life and ran circles around both of us to the ER. We were up all night, and the next morning we were told that our mom had 4 tumors in her brain, and more on her thryoid, right kidney, lungs and mid chest cavity. She was in the hospital all that week, went home on Friday went to my nephews Eagle Scout Ceremony on Saturday. She started taking radiation on her head, never stopped doing whatever she wanted and fussed because the doc wouldn't let her drive. Then about 3 weeks later, I went by her house on a Saturday morning and found her passed out in her chair where she had been since she got home the night before from playing games with her friends. We took her back to the hospital, and she never came home. She died Sept 1.
Going back to the health club was especially hard for me becaues Mom and I always went together. We would walk, and do water aerobics, or work out on the machines, then sit and talk almost every morning. But I'm doing it.
All this time I was trying to get back in the routine of a full time job, our business was doing worse and worse, and finally two weeks ago my DH and son gave up. They closed the door for good. Now we are having to meet with lawyers, we are having to file bankruptcy and the session with the lawyer just about did me in on Monday. So DH has no job, no means of income, and mine isn't enought to support us for very long. Hopefully he will find something, but it's very scarry. He is 59 years old. Then Monday night my sister & I met with a woman who was going to handle an estate sale to get rid of mothers "stuff". She told us that she was sorry, but we didn't have enough "good" stuff to make it worth her while to do a sale for us. So we don't have any idea how we are going to do it ourselves. My sister worked for us so she just started a new job Monday, and my brother can't take off his job either. Well, we still have to work on that one.
So Wednesday my brother's wife had a bioposy on a "mass" in her breast and it was found to be cancer, so she has an appointment with the surgeon Tuesday and my Dh's sister is having open heart surgery on Wednesday!!! So it hasn't been the quite uneventful week that I had planned.
So I didn't add up all my points either, but I did really good on drinking my water, pretty good on my food, and even pretty good on my journalaing, but exercise sucked!!!
But next week is going to be great!!!
