Hello!
I used to work as an RDA (registered dental assistant) so Google TMJ and see if the jaw clicking you're experiencing is described there... Best, Janet |

I did the same thing with my clothes, but then I sorted them by how worn out they were. The ones that were pretty worn (or terribly out of style...I saved tons of stuff for years in hopes I would fit into them...when I did, they were so not-trendy I couldn't! :lol: ) went to Salvation Army, and the other ones I cleaned, pressed, or dry cleaned and took them to several consignment shops. I probably have made around 3 or 400 dollars that way...so I didn't feel as bad going out to buy new clothes! ;) Thanks so much for the info about the jaw! The only thing I did on Monday that might explain it was that I was yawning all day and often with my mouth wide open... I had to laugh at your comment about being quiet...DH keeps saying, "Don't worry, I'll still be here when you have lockjaw..." :rolleyes: He would love it if I couldn't talk! ;) |

I love what you said about your activity goals!!! :hug: :love: That's just so totally true! Being able to fit in an airplane seat and not ask for the extender, or being able to go on one of my favorite rides (the one with the really long swings) because I could fit in the chair and was under the weight limit were so much more important to me than a simple change in numbers on the scale. Changing clothes sizes, especially when you're in plus numbers, where the difference between a size can be 40 pounds or more, can be another really motivating event. I loved hearing about your specific goals...they sound so active and vital and healthy! I bet your daughter is over the moon that you'll be on her trip with her! :love: Oh, Barb, your DH really does sound depressed! :( Shutting yourself off from people is one of the classic signs. (I'm no doctor, but I've been depressed, in therapy, and on meds for years and years, and am in group therapy, too. In our group, one of the first signs for us that our depression is getting worse is when we isolate.) Of course, maybe he just doesn't want to clean... :s: You never know. I hope that Brian tells his dad how he feels...it's good for DH to know that you're not asking him to clean out of an urge to nag, but because it really means a lot to you and your son to have people over. You can't pull yourself out of a depression on your own, but sometimes when people let you know how much your depression is hurting them, you feel motivated enough to seek help with it. :hug: I think you're amazing--congrats on the 4 pounds!!! :carrot: That is awesome! :D Kim, I hear you! I got my masters when I was 28-30. The kids I worked (I was a GA) and took classes with were all 22. :rolleyes: Shouldn't be a big difference, but it SO was! I had over 150 pounds to lose, they were complaining about the 10 they gained last year. I was thinking about having kids and they were still trying to decide if they wanted to be serious with their boyfriend (or find one). But I have to admit, we did form some serious friendships and I keep in touch with several of them now. I even made friends with some of the 18-22 year-olds that worked in our office. You're right, it's at least good for a laugh (especially with your hilarious sense of humor...your interchange was a riot! :lol3: ), and you just might be surprised! LC: :hug: CABunnyGirl, your name made me all excited! I'm originally from CA and I LOOOOOVE bunnies. We have two house rabbits, Bella and Denali. :D Anyways, thanks so much for the info! I thought it might be TMJ, so I spent a bunch of time yesterday trying to find out more. Even though jaw popping is a symptom of TMJ, it sounds like in order for it to be TMJ, there has to also be pain. I don't have any pain...just the noise. That's what made me confused. I really thank you for the tip, though...and I'd love to talk bunnies anytime...if you want. ;) |
Pacer bargain hunting thats music to my ears as I won't by anything unless it's on sale or clearance.
Thin if you get a chance bottle up some of your weather and ship it to some of cold weather people. Enjoy Barb the weight loss fairies have been good to you. Good luck on keeping focus for Thanksgiving. Kim have a safe trip. Best wishes on staying away from Olive Garden LC yard work that can be some good exercis there Have a great afternoon everyone!!! |
HAPPY BIRTHDAY COTTAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and happy new FURNITURE!!!!!
I have a cold :( so no defcon 1 for me. and No Liptons tea to go either it made me cravemaster general I won't even go into the details its too porntastic! I did make good choices for dinner tho Beef vegetable soup mmmm I'm turning into my gramma who all she ever wanted was hot coffee and hot soup! I have to get groceries and laundry done we'll see what gets accomplished with nappage beckoning me to its downy embrace! |
Hey all! Checking in late today and lots to do so I'll have to waive the personals for today. I was excited to see that Pacer's name is Stephanie, though!
Didn't get to post last night as I had an awful belly ache. I made "fakon" (soy bacon) "chick'n" (soy chicken) avacado wraps for dinner and baked some frozen french fries for the kids for a treat. Of course there were a couple left after dinner so I thought, "What's the harm?" Ugh. My stomach yelled, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!?!?!" and I was down for the count for the evening. If that's not motivation to stay on plan, I don't know what is! Have a good night, all! I'm off to get my day started...bed sheets to change, bathroom to scrub, kitchen to deep clean, and floors to vacuum/sweep and mop. Should be a fun day. Actually, the homeschool group is meeting at the pool (indoor) this afternoon and then we're going out to dinner with friends (already scoped the menu and worked it into my calorie plan for the day) so it should be a rewarding afternoon after a busy morning. "See" you all later! Kara |
P.S. I'm under my ID weight again! Whew!

Evening all!
Gosh I gave two presentations at work today that kept me away from my desk. I am currently making a "beef stew" (while not technically on the beach yet I am prepping myself and omiting things like rice, pasta and taters, hence the quotations) for dinner and thought I'd drop in for a minute before getting back up to sitr :carrot: Hope everyone stayed warm today! |
No Laundry or Groceries tonight ARG DH is conked on the couch and I'm sending out resumes I think I'll check Peapod and see what non perishables I can convince myself to buy!
|
HA! Kier, Peapod was a maternity store when I was pregnant with Connor and I was so puzzled for a second about how you were going to buy groceries there!
Have a nice relaxing evening! Jenn, hope your "stew" comes out well! I'm so curious about your job. What's your favorite group to lobby for? Kara |
