Good Morning Ladies. I woke up earlier than usual, sooo... I got up so early this morning and went to the Y to work out before the family woke up. It was so weird.. all these cars sitting in the parking lot waiting for the Y to open at 5:30 am on the dot..and when the clock hit that magic number...all these car doors opened and it was like Black Friday, LOL..j/k I am going to hold off weighing in again until next week. I am getting a little obsessed feeling with weighing every day..now I want to weigh several times a day and that is just nuts. Once a week, likely Monday or Tuesday.

Hope that everyone has a great day.

Warmly,

I guess its afternoon now. I stayed home from work today. I feel so awful. My second night of barely any sleep and my body just aches. I keep having anxiety attacks because I can't breathe. My head and chest are both congested so bad. Just miserable.... I haven't been sick like this for years. Guess it kind of makes me scared. I know, what a baby! You're talking to the girl who barely gets the flu and normally only has a cold for 2 days or so.

Last night we got dumped on with the snow. YIKES! Today its only 4 degrees. The next few days are supposed to be icy cold with sub zero temps. Ellen, I'm sure you're probably getting some of this too.

Well I'm going to go back and lay down. The couch is calling me....

Chris the weather here has not been bad but we are supposed to get freezing rain or snow by tomorrow night. Feeling better went to the dr and had a good talk... we are trying out some new meds, so we will see if that helps.

I made it to the gym four days this week!!! I hope to get there tomorrow, but it depends on how I feel, and If I can get up early enough to go before work.

Have a great weekend girls will try to check in over the weekend.

Hey gals....
Didn't exercise today but I did feel better. I got out and went to the store with my sister. I still don't have a whole lot of energy. After just a few minutes of walking I felt kind of lightheaded and queasy. I think I am at the tailend of whatever it is that I have.

I'll check back soon.

Christina

Chris I am glad to hear that you are feeling better! I didn't do to bad this weekend, although a small trip with some chips, but over all pretty good. Goal this week is to exercise 4-5 days and to start getting my water in. I have been really bad about that, and need to get back on track.

WI tomorrow not sure how the scale will go. but will keep trying no matter what!

later chicas!!

Chris~Both you and Kelly are in my prayers today. I hope everything goes well with his surgery today.

Kelly's surgery went well. Hopefully he can come home tomorrow. I don't handle this alone thing well at all. And of course to top off the day, I had to go to the doctor. I got outside the hospital in the cold air this evening and couldn't quit coughing and started throwing up blood. Nice....

Anyhow, my so called cold went from a virus to a bacterial infection. So now I'm on antibiotics, an inhaler, and codeine cough syrup. I was trying so hard to not feel yucky for Kelly and ended up failing miserably at it. I was so upset, I called my mom and cried. (okay..maybe I was hysterically miserable when I called her) I just can't hold it together.

Hoping my baby hubby can come home tomorrow and I'll start feeling better. Things just suck here....I got home from picking the kids up at my MIL's house and came home to a house full of doggie puke. They ate the cat food while I was gone and got sick...THat is soooo the last thing I wanted to do tonight. Oh well. I'm going to go sack out and maybe sleep some. Check back tomorrow....

Christina

Chris~so sorry you are feeling so yucky. considering all that happened yesterday I think you are doing ok. It is very difficult to be strong for someone else when you are sick. I hope the antibiotics help clear up what ever it is you have. and I am glad that Kelly's surgery went well. Will keep praying for a quick recovery for you both.

To chris and snoopysgirl


Hope you both are doing well.

Hello Ladies! I hope that you don't mind if I just jump in. I didn't even know this thread existed!!!!

I am Julie. I am 27 and I am a SAHM of 2 kiddos. Our son, Jacob will be 2 on Jan. 31 and our daughter, Kylie will be 1 on Feb.11 *WHEW* My hubby and I have been married almost 4 years (march 8). I love what I do and am so thankful I can be a SAHM. I joined 3fc Feb. 2005, but only came here twice. Just 2 weeks ago I "rejoined" and come here many times a day!
One thing I get tired of is people thinking that because I am a SAHM, I should have no problem losing weight and that i have it easy. I think our job is one of the toughest jobs in the world.... 1) we never clock out, 2)every day is different... if your "boss" (aka your kids) needs you now..... you have to drop everything.... 3) cleaning, cooking, washing, shopping.... you name it, we could have a degree in it! But, I LOVE being home with my kids and I wouldn't trade this "job" for anything.


Anyway - I will be checking in here daily, I look forward to getting to know you all.

LadyJ-I personally think that being a sahm makes it harder to lose weight. At least it is for me. The temptations are closer and always there. When I worked full-time there was less distractions for dieting. Now when the kids want a snack, I'm there. When I walk through the kitchen (and you have to pass through it to get anywhere in the house), the food is there. And i don't think alot of people think of it this way but in all actuality, being a sahm is a very stressful job, even more so than "traditional" careers.

ANyhow, welcome to the group. I'll check back later. It's super early in the morning and I am having an insomnia moment...yet AGAIN!

Christina

Chris~ how funny! I had insomnia last night too...and I never have it. Hoping all is well...off to the gym b4 work.

Later chicas!!!

Hey gals. Well after my night of insomnia, I crashed super hard last night. I'm going to head there now. I have work tomorrow and the girls have school, and I have some homework to read...ewwww!!!

check back later...

christina

Chris~Not much going on here, just trying to make it through every day. I have done well with the gym, but I really need to be more careful with my eating over the weekend. The kiddies are finally all fine, not more sickies for me!!!! Yay!

Well, Have to get moving, gotta work this afternoon.

Yesterday I was H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E!!! TOM is coming and I have the PMS munchies going on something fierce.

I think I have the whole world mad at me today. My SIL has some sort of grudge going on. Don't know what its about. And my sisters are p.o.ed because I said this semester I could only babysit on Wed. I'm not putting in two full days babysitting (from 9 to 6 at night). I work on Mon and Thurs. Fridays are always too busy and my assignments are usually due on Sat. I do need some downtime with my family and time to do my homework. They'll get over it.

So today me and Coli are sitting at home. She's watching High School Musical and I'm working on my Finite math and reading my Macroeconomics and Physical Science books. How exciting huh!!!

Well better go and get back to the books.
