I hope this works.


I am doing ok as far as break up. I need to let him do this or there would always be doubts. He may be back who knows but I aint waiting around. I didnt turn to food through my distress. I kept myself busy and focused on what I wanted in life. My new adventure is looking to buy a house. Look into the steps I have to do. Hoping to be in something by summer.

All right! I'm so glad you're doing well. Buying a house is a big step, but exciting too. I went to my Feb. meeting tonight and lost 6 1/2 more pounds since Jan. 2nd. I was pleasantly surprised. I'm down to 139 now. Just have to get back to exercising regularly and I'll feel great. Do you feel like since you have lost the weight you feel more confident to tackle other things? My new area of concentration has been on keeping the house more in order, and boy does that make me feel better! Sort of felt helpless about it before. A family of 5 with three kids under 8 can very quickly clutter up the place and it does take constant vigilance, but I figure it's worth it for my peace of mind. I quit worrying about whether my DH helped out or not, and so now he's pitching in a little. Funny how men are. He has been having his ups and downs looking for a job; had an interview today but not sure what will come of it. It's a tough time in business with the current economy.

Congrads on the weight loss. I have felt more confidence in some areas. As far as house work, I leave at 7 am and usually get home around 8ish pm so I dont feel much like cleaning than. I try to catch up on the weekend. I dont have kids but I do have 2 birds that make quite a mess. Things as far as WW is good. I am up a little but that is due to PMS so feeling Blah right now. Have a great day see you soon

Hi,

I'm so tired; have been having a hard time getting to sleep then am having weird dreams. Any hints diet wise for a better night's sleep? Of course, I don't do caffeine other than a cup of coffee in the morning, so that isn't it. I know I'm worried about my hubby too, which doesn't help. I can't seem to turn off my brain when I get to bed.

cant think of any diet tricks cause if I didnt i would do it too. I have always had trouble sleeping. As soon as I hit the pillow all the problems of the day come to mind. It probably is worried about hubby. Sorry I cant help you more

Thank goodness I have been sleeping better the past couple of nights. I think part of the problem I was on a cleaning binge just before bed and didn't give myself wind down time. You sound really busy. How many groups do you lead now? Do you enjoy it?

I am leading 2 groups, tutoring 3 students, and teaching plus i do books for my cousin twice a week, and security once in a while. Yes very busy. trying to save for a house and avoid my man problems. I went on a cleaning binge today too. got on hands and knees and scrubbed floors. Burns lots of calories LoL. one of my groups is an at work and has 17 people. They have lost 65 pounds in 2 weeks. I love that group they are very excited.

That must be inspiring to you to see other people excited. I check in with friends at work who are also on WW to see how they're doing. It's kind of an extra support group.

Spent the day yesterday cleaning the house. DH has a sinus infection, so not much help. That was my exercise too. It feels great to get up in the morning and the house is clean. I have my boys help too; don't want them to wait for their wives to do all the cleaning someday LOL!

I just picked up another group for wednesday nights. I have no clue when I am going to fit in working out. (lol) I know pretty much leave my house at 7:30 and return at 7:30 at night. I really dont feel like working out after a long day at work and running around after. I will figure a way to get it in at least 3 days a week. I also got to figure out a way to meet some new guys too. Know any single guys that live or want to live in maine. (lol) Well I am off to my meeting see you later. Looks like we are the only people in this thread but seems like many read it. I wish some others would join us too.

I agree. This is not an exclusive thread for Tracey and Dee! If anyone out there would like to join us but wasn't sure, yes, we would love to have you!

Tracey, hope you figure out how to find time for yourself. You don't want to get burned out. Can you get too much Weight Watchers? (Oh my, did I say that? Sacrilige! LOL) Seriously, I don't know when you find time to fix yourself any healthy meals. Sorry, don't know anyone in Maine (besides you), let alone any single hunks!

I've been doing great all day, then get home and hear my husband airing his frustrations and I want chocolate and chips! Haven't been perfect but drinking sugar free caffeine free coffee with chocolate flavoring has helped. Back to journaling and strictness for me tomorrow. Also haven't been exercising. Go figure, when I need it most, I don't do it. Back to that tomorrow too. Can't let myself go to pot right when I'm being counted on.

I have always been a busy woman. I guess it is how I hide from being alone. I worked a show last night and flirted again. That felt good. I eat as healthy as I can. I also have a point range around 35 points so meals are a little easier to find on the run.

You to have to make time for you. You are a smart woman and know what you need to do. I know your husband is frustrated but that is something he has to deal with. The coffee sounds great. What kind is it?

It is made by General Foods International Coffees and is SF/FF, Decaf. The only flavor I can find like that around here is the Suisse Mocha. It's very good. It only has 25 calories per serving, too. Also took an idea from the new brochure we got in Jan. from WW and sometimes will add SF/FF hot cocoa mix to a cup of hot coffee instead of milk/creamer. Very good and has calcium to boot. If you get the hot cocoa mix, read the nutrition info, because some brands are 1 point and some are 0 points.

Time to myself won't be available this weekend. My sons have back to back birthdays (March 10 and 11, 2 years apart). My parents and my annoying brother will be here from Ohio staying with us. It means a lot to the boys and they love having family around. though, so it will be worth it.

I wrote this long reply this weekend but i dont see it know. Must be lost in space. briefly what it said was since we are the only ones talking maybe we should just email each other since it would be faster. My email is [email protected] and i also use MSN which is [email protected]. If you want to email me instead. It is up to you

Hi,

I hope I am in the right spot here. I am on a webtv, so figuring out some of this site is kind of diff. for me. I dont know a lot of computer lingo/humbo jumbo either.

I rejoined WW a week ago WED. I lost 8.2 lbs. I know its a lot of water. I have about 75 to lose. I lost almost 40lbs the other time I was in WW on the 123success plan.

I look forward to meeting some ppl on here! If anyone can give me any pointers about this board or WW in general, I would appreciate it!

Thanks!
Barbara
