Hi all,

Penny,

You are doing great girl keep up the great work. I think you did great at the buffet remember all that fish especially the boiled kind is low in fat so I don't think you did as bad as you think. And to stay away from the potatoes is a great thing and I am proud of you. Keep going.

Nita,

Congrats on the loss you are doing great. Glad that penny bugged you this week. Sorry I wasn't there for you. I will be better this week. Keep up the great work. It is wonderful that your husbands sugar is down. Penny is right keeping away from the refined sugars will bring his sugar down a lot and keep it down. Keep going girl I am here for you.

As for me I got down this week and overwhelmed. I have to learn how to be a mom to a baby again and especially to one that demands your attention. Megan wasn't like that but ben is. He is a great baby but wants me all the time and I am not used to that. I can't stand being home not talking to people. I am used to talking to people all day and I feel so confined here. I sleep a lot which isn't good that makes me more tired. Had a terrible night last night with husband about the custody. He doesn't want me stressed out and said we can give up custody. But I can't do that to a baby. And I have to be prepared for jesse what if he is like that I can't give him away. So I decided to take a different approach and try harder and come up with a routine while at home. No more staying in my jammies most of the day. I have this week by myself and I am going to lunch with my best friend and meeting another friend for lunch so at least I will get out of the house this week. I know I can do this. We have made it this far and I know john is doing a lot more then me and he has a hurt shoulder that might need surgery but he keeps going. I can to. This time will pass and things will be better in the future. It will be harder when jesse comes but it is what I wanted and I can't let go of that now. I have to take the jump like Eleni with all the things she is finally doing in her life that are challanges and new to her. I think I was just frustrated. It comes with the territory I guess.
The great thing is that I have only gained 16 lbs total so far in the preg according to the Dr's scale on thursday. I am very happy with myself for that and my sugar has been good to I am really doing well controlling it. So things are going good I just have to get out of the depression I was in. I think I see the light now.

Thanks for listening everyone. Sorry I just rambled on.
