Depression and Weight IssuesHave you been diagnosed with depression, are possibly on depression medication, and find it affects your weight loss efforts? Post here for support!
I tried posting this weekend, but my silly keyboard had other ideas. (a glass of water spilled on it a few weeks ago and now its pernickity!)
Hope everyone is feeling better.
Not much new around here, it rained off and on all weekend. Today is beautiful to look at (north wind is a little chilly) "They" keep forecasting snow, but thankfully not yet, I still have my summer tires on A's 19th birthday is on Wednesday and it usually snows for that. I did spend an hour on the treadmill last night, so I feel pretty good about that. I just wish I'd get away from the salt so that I may see a downward change in the scale!
Cathy you asked about my stir-fry recipe, well I don't really have one. I just use a little olive oil and throw in crushed garlic and if I have ginger, then add thinly sliced meat, usually chicken. When that looks good I add my cut up veggies, carrots first and then whatever else I happen to have, usually onion, broccoli, cauliflower, celery,peppers etc. For a sauce I just mix up about a quarter of a cup of soya sauce, few shots of oyster sauce and hoisin sauce, a few sprinkles of seasame oil (ginger power if I don't have the real stuff) sometimes I add water if it looks to thick. Add a tablespoon or so of cornstarch mix it up and put it a well in the veggies and stir until thickened. If I have them this is when I add sugar pea pods and bean sprouts. Stir everything together and I like it over steam fried noodles.
Anyway I should get going I have to bake some cookies for school lunches.
I'm at work today... out of guilt but still full of pain. I have to wait until I'm at work before I can take my meds b/c it makes me dizzy... so I get up at 4:30 and go until almost 8:00 hurting like you couldn't believe. So I sit here at work like a zombie in pain OY VEY!!!! I was out for 3 1/2 days so ya know guilt really kicks in.
Glad your rain stopped Cathy, I'm grateful for the sunshine here, even tho its quite cool (-9*C (~12*F)This morning - high of 5*C(41*F) this afternoon) I have to go to town soon and I'll be scraping my windshield.
Leenie I sure hope you feel better soon take it easy.
Didn't get to the treadmill last night, but planning on it for tonight. I've been putting in episodes of CSI on the DVD player and that keeps me going and the time flying. A little discouraged this morning tho as my numbers keep going up instead of the way I want them to, but I'm trying to concentrate on the good things instead of sinking into a box of lil' debbies (there are zebra cakes in the cupboard so it would be easy)grr I wish the weight would fall off as easily as it gets on
Anyway I have to get going, so take care everyone and have a great day,

Doing okay today. Sorry to hear your in so much pain Miss Leenie. I don't see how you can work while being in so much pain and being a "zombie". If I take my pain meds for my back I am out like a light. There is no way I could function at work on those. Unless they propped me up in a corner or something! lol. I sure hope your pain eases up.
Tilly..sorry you have had the flu...hey it is too early for that!
Leens............poor lady.....update me because I havent heard..did you hear from the tests yet? If it is too personal to ask..just tell me
I am so sorry to hear you are back at work in pain.
I am off work today and then work the rest of the week including Saturday.
I am having all 4 grandchildren spend the night! Wow.am I brave or what? I love it! Don't know what we are doing today. They are out for Fall Break so I promised to do "something"! I can assure you there will not be a dull moment!
Cathy I know about rain.......a few weeks ago we had such a down pour....we no longer have carpet downstairs! It is pure ugly concrete floor presently..all that $$ for insurance and it did not cover it. Hey...it could always be much worse though...right? I will count my blessings despite the concrete floor!
good morning gang actually it's almost lunch time here so I decided I better run in here and check on everybody
Hey Cin - so glad you are off the rest of the week but it sounds like you'll be busy with grandkids. that is great! hope y'all have a blast! do you usually work ww meetings on Saturdays? hey? how as the movie last week - did you like it? I'm so sorry about your carpet - yikes! water sure can do a lot of damage!!!!
Hey Tilly - so sorry you have the flu! I hope you get better soon!
Hey Sassy - how ya doing? I agree with you - I couldn't work taking pain pills either. Those things would have me loopy!
Hey Buddly - scraping your windshield! yikes I can't even imagine. oh girl I LOVE zebra cakes. I cannot buy them or keep them around bec then I would eat them
Hey Leenie - how are you doing today girlie? I understand being at work out of guilt but goodness I can't imagine that you are able to get much done in pain like that and then on pain meds too. I really hope the boss told you to go home and took some of the guilt off your shoulders! so how is your back today? and yea, did you get your test results back yet?
I called my regular doc today b/c I'm sick of sitting, well trying to sit at work while I'm in such pain and crying...my back is getting worse and the skelaxin (sp?) and percocet is not doing much. My boss is a self centered jerk... if its not about him, he doesn't care or pay attention. I am walking with my right side all twisted up and if you saw me you'd be like WHAT! My doctor didn't get back to me today so I need to call them first thing tomorrow. I asked for a xray and MRI or something... this is the worst I've ever had my back out... but most of the pain is from the hip.
Cin I won't know the results from my gyno until Nov 2nd when I go for my consult... just their way of making more money LOL.
Love you gals, and I'll be back tomorrow to catch up with you all.
Cin -- Have fun with the grandchildren! I'm sure you won't be bored, that is for sure!
Cathy -- Hi ya! I'm doing lots better, thanks. My back is still a tad bit sore, but nothing like lastnight! Yeah I'm loopy enough as it is without the pain pills, don't need any help in that dept! Esp. @ work!
Leenie -- Gentle I sure hope your dr can find what the problem is and alleviate your pain! I can sympathize that it truley does stink esp. when you have to work while in severe pain! Sure hope you get relief soon girlie! Hang in there!
hey gang I almost had to swim into work this morning. We had "the storm of the century" down here and all the roads were flooded. Actually I came in late once we could maneuver the roads
Leenie - did you get to talk to your doc today? how is your back today?
and Sassy - how is your back today? hope it's better!
Where's the rest of our gang today?
what's everybody up to?
