Hi all! It has been a difficult few days. Dh's work changed him from hourly to salary which though it was supposed to be a lateral move it ended up cutting his pay, and it was retro active, so there was some concern that he may have to pay back some of what he received during that period. A friend of dh's got pre-approved overtime so he could go on a business trip(to the tune of $1400)and he is having to pay it back. Luckily they didn't do it as of yet. This paycheck will actually include some extra money, which we desperately need, I just hope they don't come back later and say that we received the extra money by accident, and they make us pay all of that back too!!!
I have decided that FlyLady's methods don't exactly work for me. Some of her ideas do work, but I ended up getting bogged down in trying to do it her way. I was doing really good about keeping my house picked up, and exercising, and beginning to get my life in order, but when I tried to do it her way, I ended up getting bogged down and not doing what I needed to do. I am going back to the way I was doing things before, and seeing if that doesn't help things get back on track. I even exercised today!!!
TechAlum - Glad you are back, and that you had a nice trip.
Rabbit - Dental surgery, OUCH! I know Liz talked about mouth sores helping with the diet, but I don't think she intended for us to have mouth pain inflicted on ourselves intentionally!!!
I am sure that it was for a good cause, and we should all take care of our pearly whites. Hope you are feeling better soon. That will make throwing the candy easier!!! You could always give it to some neighborhood kids.
Nanci - (or should I say crafty?) It always feels good to be creating things with our hands. When I am in the middle of projects, it helps me not to eat, because I am too busy to feel the need to munch. WTG on being on the low end of your points for Easter. Holidays are always so hard to keep up with diets. But you did it.
RR - How was your mom's? I agree with you on the candy. How can men be so insensitve to buy candy for someone who is trying to loose weight? Take the candy to work, and go buy flowers!!!
Lauren -
Sorry Ms. Psycho is coming back, I hope the audits go well, and that she goes home quickly!! WTG on continuing to exercise.
Jul - I wished I could get up at 6 am but my body just won't do it. That is where I got into most of my trouble lately, by scheduling my day around getting up early. But I am happy for you that you are doing it. Have fun on your trip!!
Bailey, Bailey - you poor dear. I do hope you are feeling better. Don't give up on order, just don't hurt yourself getting there!!! I have had to back up and crawl before I even take the baby steps. The end result is what is important here, not where you are now. We are in a marathon, both with our houses, and our weight. If we run too fast now, we won't have anything left to help us finish the race!!!
If I missed anyone, I am sorry, but I too have been out of touch this past week. But I am back, and I will keep up with you all, because you are a great bunch of chicks, and I enjoy reading about your lives.
