Hello Eveyone!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAPHNE I sent you an ecard, I hope you got it!
Dana...WoW never a dull moment at your house. I am glad to hear that Brett is okay. What made the little dog bite him? How is everyone else in the family? Has Bretts sugars stablized, you had said they were way high over the weekend?
I hope you are taking some "me" time for yourself with all that you have to deal with.
Ann...The diet that I am doing is in Womans World. However, I am not following it to the "T". I started taking vitamins (again). I am mostly eating a lot of Protien (I have eaten 2 can's of tuna since I started) and major veggies. Very little bread, pasta, or potatoes. Of course no real sweets, just fruit. I have been making smoothies for desert and both me and the kids are enjoying them.
Yes, I have been watching Dr. Phil on and off. (I watch him during commercials, because the kids get on my case that he is boring.) I think he has some valid points, and I was shocked when no one at the dinner table wanted to eat the spinach or salmon meal that they had prepared for them...that would be a treat for me, I love both of those. However, I am from california..and many people eat like that here (I just can't afford salmon all the time and I definately can't afford to go out and eat a meal like that) Besides my kids don't really care for either of them. Dr. Phil was down-right mean to some of these people. I already don't like the rich B*tch, since she has money, I feel she could afford her own trainer and chef or go to Jenny Craig or something.
Well enough of Dr. Phil, Ann what are you going to do since your weight is back up. I know I am almost to my all time fattest of 289 (which is what I was when I first joined here 2 years ago) and I have to get a grip. We are weighing about the same you and I. I don't know how long I can go on eating tuna for breakfast, and no pasta in my spagetti (I microwaved mushrooms, onions, bell peppers and zuchini and put the spagetti sauce and meatballs (veggie) over the vegtables). It was good, but a lot of work. I like the convience of fast food. I have defrosted more steak, either for dinner or breakfast. This diet say you loose about 4-5lbs a week and in a month I could loose 20lbs. So I am trying it. I will let you know how it goes.
On the homefront, BJ called and I asked about Adrian and DH, she said DH wants a divorce, but Adrian is going to hang onto her man. She is not going to give him one and wants to stick it out. It looks like Adrian is setting herself up for months and possible years of heartache, being married to someone who doesn't love you or want to be with you. Which means that BJ is going to have to continue to play the rescuer in this whole situation. She will have to take the baby when a fight brakes out or buy food when Jerome doen't come home for the weekend. I feel really bad for my baby. I know she is a loving and caring woman, but I feel like she has enough on her plate...and some of that is ME! She is my rescuer and I guess I just don't want to share. Plus, I think it would be to much for her to handle.
Now for the work front update: I just found out Monday that Michele (The COO's work-out buddy and the woman who keeps taking everyones jobs) Got a $10,000 raise. That is right, she does nothing, takes all the credit and is rewarded hansomely for being a kiss @ss. As you can imagine I am Really Really P.O.ed about this. But in truth there is nothing that I can do about it. I am really trying to ignore all the bull that happens around here. My goal is to work here for 5 years, get my retirement, and then try to get a job at the union. I am trying to think of this place as a stepping stone to a better future for myself and family.
Well, got to go,
Love to all,
Deborah
