Chris~You must have what my sister has, My mom had to take her to the Dr again. Must be some serious virus! Glad to hear that Kelly will have his surgery I will keep him in my prayers.
Snoopy I was not good yesterday either, but I just had to pick myself back up and get moving again. I finally made it back to the gym after not going all week. I am hoping to get my lazy butt out of bed early enough to go to the gym before work in the morning.
Well, Off to finish laundry and put it all away! If you don't hear from me next week look under the mountain of laundry in my Living room! :P
Hmmmm....Ellen, it seems you have the same mountain of laundry that I do. My main question is:
Where in the world does it come from????
That is one LARGE cosmic question. I don't know what to do with this cold. I have to take methotrexate for my RA and that is an immune suppressing cancer drug. Last week I only took half the dose because I wasn't feeling good and I hurt quite a bit this week, I don't dare NOT take it this week or I won't be walking. I have such a mess in this house. Trying to get the laundry done and things are in piles here and there. We can't put anything back in the livingroom until Sunday. This is driving me insane!!!!! Oh well.
Okay...now I get to finally brag about something good!!!
My niece (my mom's step granddaughter) had a baby girl today. Her name is Leila Faith. She was a bit early but still weighed in at 7 lbs. 11 1/2 oz and 19 in. long. My niece, Kacey, is diabetic and was having some problems with TIA's so they had to take the baby early. When she called tonight (and I haven't seen her since June) she said she almost died twice with this baby. Scary stuff. She's done now. She's got her little boy and a baby girl. I'll have to get up and see her tomorrow.
I did not get up in time to go to the gym, so I will just have to go tomorrow after church. Oh well, I need to work out this time on Saturdays, I know I have enough time, but I just have to juggle dome things around. And like last week, I could go after work, but DH and I have plans already so I will just have to move a lot at work! hahaha
I'm not moving much either. My house still looks like a national disaster area. Tomorrow I can FINALLY start putting stuff back in the livingroom. Kelly was a little upset last night because the two littlest girls put a scratch in the floor already.
I'm feeling better today and its my day to take my meds so by tonight I should be feeling some of the ache going away. I know RA isn't strictly an old people's disease but I still think it stinks that it happened to me. (only mildly bitter.... ). Naw, for the majority of the time its not bad at all, its these little "episodes" that frustrate me.
Well I better go stick my buns in the shower. Tiana has a private dance lesson at 10 to catch her and a couple other girls up with the rest of the class.
I hope that everyone is having a good weekend. It isn't my official weigh in day, (that is still a few days away), but I am down to 200 this morning, and that is great for me; I am hoping to be in onederland within a week or two. I am expecting AF so I wont be too upset if the scale fluctuates a bit over the next couple of weeks. I have been consistant with my daily exercise, and I think that helps a lot. I haven't really cut out any food groups, but I have been trying to avoid second helpings, and stop when I am hungry, even if there is food left on my plate. Trying to get away from the "clean plate club" mentality. I am not a garbage disposal!
Christina, I am sorry that you have to deal with the RA issues. I often feel bitter that my dh has to live with that horrible disease. He is 39 and has had it since age 5; that thought just seems very awful to me. It makes me appreciate my health and feel guilty about letting myself get so unhealthy. Some people have no choice or obstecles in their path. I have no excuse but myself. You are amazing for plugging away in spite of the RA..keep going girl.
I also have a few loads of laundry..not stressing about it too badly. I have a load of whites in now..I need to go add bleach and then maybe run a load of colors through. I am not sure if they will get folded and put away today though..but they will be CLEAN. I am more lax on the weekends but I do bits at a time..but it piles up to BIG BITES very quickly. My dishes are done and kitchen is mostly tidied..so I am cool with it right now.
I have to go pick up my son's birthday cake. He chose a Hotwheels theme. He will be 4 tomorrow. Thankfully, birthday cake is not a huge tempation for me. Too sweet and it just doesn't do it for me like dark chocolate does, LOL.
I hope that everyone can enjoy the rest of their weekend.
I hope that everyone is having a nice Sunday. It is my son's birthday; he is 4 today. He chose a hotwheels themed cake. It is very exciting for him. I have been trying to just play with the kids today. I did end up folding 3 loads of laundry this morning..and maybe I will put in a Walk Away the Pounds dvd to exercise when the baby goes down for her nap. OH..and I was in onederland..by the skin of my teeth this morning. (but I will take what I can get!!!) 199. I am fully okay with it fluctuating a bit before I am firmly in the 190's..but it is an exciting milestone, LOL.
Ahhh...morning or afternoon. Whatever it may be. We went to church this a.m. and then took a trip to Costco. Cha Ching--our wallet is empty now.
I'm still feeling kind of yucky. I almost had to leave in the middle of church. I feel better now. Not sure if its the cold or if it was the medicine. My heart started beating strange, I felt like I couldn't breathe, and my stomach was just feeling gross. Then I started sweating like crazy and my shirt was soaked underneath so when I went outside I got the chills so bad. I feel almost human now. Thank God!
Well better go help unload the Costco bootie. Check back later.
Hope you both had good Sundays! We spent it at my mom's while my dad and hubby picked up our new/used organ. eating has been erratic, and may be expecting AF soon... though not sure when with the misc and all. I am up 1.5 pounds, btu will keep moving.
Hey, I hope that everyone is doing okay. I am cranky today, but I am maintaining my weight. I think AF is a few days away..I feel like I want to jump out of my skin. I have been cleaning house today and I am doing a water class at the ymca tonight.
Good Morning Everyone. I am drinking my daily cup of joe. I love it. I weighed in a pound less this morning. I am trying to remember to really push the water so I won't get dehydrated and be losing so much water weight. Today is busy... working out this morning and then plans to road trip it to our bank and maybe hit the local Trader Joes. I love Trader Joes.Anyone else?
I spent Sunday feeling sick, and Monday feeling sick, and today feeling sick. I don't like colds!!!!
Not much happening. On my way out the door to go to the bank and then to my sister's house to babysit the kids. Then take Tiana to dance, cook dinner, pick her up and pass out on the couch.
Needless to say, since I don't feel so good, I'm not even trying with my weight loss efforts. Hopefully this goes away soon. I'm tired of feeling this way.
Oh Christina, I am sorry that you are feeling bad. If I lived a wee bit closer I could bring you some yummy chicken vegetable soup.
My workout sort of stank yesterday. The first part was good..then there was a new instructor for the Zumba..I think that I will try another night with the old one. This one totally was off the rythem..totally messed me up and I felt like I really didn't burn as much as usual. THEN, I get home and this woman from this new church we visited..brough a huge chocolate cake from a local pastry shop It was a nice thought..but I ended up donating the cake to a family at LLL last night. We still have leftover birthday cake and I just didn't need the temptation. I am not big on having tons of that stuff in the house, anyways.
We got a bunch of yummies from Trader Joes.. organic apples and pears, sweet potatoes, and some odds and ends like japenese soba noodles and artichoke hearts and organic root beer. The prices are nearly half what I would pay locally. I swear, it is worth the drive to stock up a bit when we make the trip. I wish every town had a Trader Joes, my town could seriously use one.
Another notch down on the scale.. I am hoping to making my mini goal by spring. Hoping...
ladies~Sorry I have been MIA a little, I have been eating everything under the sun, and didn't feel like posting. I am trying to do better, but I guess it just comes down to willpower...and I don't have any!
I am hopping back on track today. I am going to just write everything down, and hope that it helps. Well, Off to the gym this morning, at leat I am doing that right!
My weight is back up a bit. I don't know what to make of that one because I'm not eating a bunch of junk. Maybe some water in me.... As soon as I feel just a bit better, I'm going to start walking on my treadmill. I think in a few days I should be about back to my normal self. (i hope)
Well off to my sister's for a "wonderful" day of kid watching. I pray that Conner won't find too much to get into .
I have such a mess in this house. Trying to get the laundry done and things are in piles here and there. We can't put anything back in the livingroom until Sunday. This is driving me insane!!!!! Oh well.
