Kelli,
Focussing on joy and peace has got to be the right track...for us all. Now matter how you do it. I have been thinking that I have let my prayer life go in the last few months and I need to get back to it.
I am still losing but have adopted some bad eating habits. And my body is not happy. Have to go back to eating more natural foods. Why is that so hard.
Have two papers to write today- so must get started.

Hey Ash,
My prayer life is improving daily and I'm really enjoying getting back into the swing of things in the church life.
My family life is such a mess that I knew that I needed something, so I've literally dove head first into church and of course, all my religious books. My favorite one is Joyce Meyer. She just inspires me so much. And, I watch her every morning.
With life happening, sometimes priorities get messed up. It's just a time setting for the prayer life that I'm hoping you'll be able to swing her real soon.
As for the bad eating habits, sometimes that happens when schedules get busy, too.
And, "leaving the religious thing to Ash and I" is totally fine.
Ya' know, what works for one, doesn't necessarily work for another. What one believes is not necessarily what another believes. So, rock on!!!
So, with that said, "How are you doing?
I went to my new doctor today for a medication renewal, which is done yearly and she is awesome! We hit it off right away. I'm sticking wih this one. I'm so happy
I went in kind of nervous with my notes in front of me stating, "I have this and this and I would like this and this......"
And, she agreed with all of it!!!
I'm so happy.
Oh, right, I said that already!!! LOL
I got pain meds.
Praise the Lord I'm headed for a good nights sleep!!!!!!
On finding a doctor that is perfect for you!for getting the pain meds. As for putting on some more weight, well you know the cure for that don't you?
I'm not doing too well, but better that last week. In other words I've stayed the same. Still this is a new leaf. I've had to stop going to the meeting for SW Zoe has started to play up in the meetings and when that happens it's not fair on everyone else. Secondly Colin is going away to work on site next week and he will be away weekdays until just before Christmas so he won't be available to look after Zoe. I've told my leader and she understands the situation, so for the next couple of months I'm signing up for the online SW service and I'll rejoin the group in the New Year I hope.
Got the results of my xrays and blood test results yesterday and I've officially got arthritis in my left knee, right hip and left ankle. The good news is that my blood pressure is within normal limits and I haven't got diabetes, oh and my cholestoral is within acceptable limits as well.
The artritis is in the early stages and if no when I get the weight off it will help ensure that it doesn't get too bad too quickly. I've got the motivation I really needed to get on with getting myself to a healthy weight. This was my wake up call.
I ventured down into the scary section of these boards (well scary for me that is) the exercise forums.and in a spurt of enthusiasm signed myself up to take part in TBL fall challenge and I'm now a member of the Red Team.
My gym membership has come through and thanks to the NHS it's free, but I've still to go to my first session and of course I will have to be careful and take my arthritis into consideration. Equally I'm not going to use it as an excuse to sit on my backside all day and moan.
WOW, Nicki, it certainly sounds like you are on the right road to success. I, too, need to jump on that road.
I had (in 2008) x-rays taken of my right knee and at that time it had shown a bone spur and arthritic changes.
Let's just tell it like it is, "It's ****' getting older!!!!"
Because of the stress of DH and/or marriage and now with DS and the OCD diagnosis with him, my stress level has skyrocketed and I'm an emotional eater. Need I say more?!!!
Yup, I gained almost 10 lbs.
Oh my gosh you guys, I'm just under 300 lbs.
So, Nicki, share that road headed for weight loss and overall a healthy lifestyle, because I need to get on it with, too.
Best of luck to you and keep a good attitude and the success shall be yours.

YES, I KNOW MY TRACKER IS STILL MESSED UP!!!!!!

Reason: [B] messed up.
I've set myself a weight loss challenge and an exercise challenge to last until Christmas Day. I've got to lose 2 stone (28lb) and I have to walk a minimum of 100 miles and those miles have to be monitored correctly i.e I can only count the times I walk and use my pedometre I can't forget to wear it and then guess how far I've travelled. They are realistic goals but when I've acheived them they will give me the confidence to set harder goals in 2010 and that is the year I'm going to reach goal.
Now I haven't given out any or recently and it's about time I did. I'm here for you both as you now. Ash I sorry to hear how your course is getting you down but keep on going because after all it will be so worth it in the end. Kelli just reach out your hand and I'll pull you back up onto the wagon. You can do it girl, be strong and for once in your life put yourself and your needs first.
Well, I'm taken my "getting back on the wagon" seriously, but slowly.
I'm doing my research regarding exercises via the internet and writing good points down on paper.
Then, I'm going to take some "me" time, which will most likely take up an entire day and sit down with all my miscellaneous books and write out a diet plan.
Then, I'll need to get back into journaling my food intake online to keep me steady.
Plus, I'm researching increasing serotonin levels with exercises for my son. And, if I come up with something, he and I will be exercising every day together. Which probably isn't such a bad idea to start with.
So, I'm headed back to the wagon, just doing it slowly.
P.S. Hey Nicki, Can you help me get my tracker back? I apparently don't have any idea how to get it back. I've tried at least five times now.

And, that's okay.
