hey everyone!
Tammy - very sorry to hear of your MIL, but you and her son did so much and you were with her at the end, there is nothing more spiritual than being by the side of someone when they pass, so sad for us but being there for them is so important. I am passing along strength for the task of taking care of her things, that is major.
Dawn, sorry to hear of the drama...hope it's something you can easily cut out of your life, we sure don't need any extra anxiety over anything, do we!
Hi Reda, is it still warm in SD, or has it been cold? Hope you're still riding regularly
Colleen, you are dropping those 10 pound increments like, like I don't know, can't come up with a good similie
I know it takes effort and determination, and those vacation trips sure do play havoc. Is there a certain calorie limit per day you're trying for, or weekly? And sorry to hear of the spats...I know there are those who say it's good to 'air' differences, but I avoid confrontation like the plague. Thanks for the laughs about the awful dessert, I guess I was bound to have a disaster sometime, lol.
I KNOW I have gained but i am afraid to get on the scale. Truly afraid!! Like I am thinking I am up 8 or 9 pounds. I have had NO disicpline with eating, and my jeans are tight. One pair I can button but they look terrible, and I was wearing them easily in July. Ugh!! DH has gotten into a 'baking treats' kick, he bought a small convection oven which is actually like a big toaster oven, but he buys small mixes of things like cookies, cupcake, biscuits, and bakes them after dinner...you know how hard it is to resist when someone else makes it, and it's sitting right there...I know, the discipline is up to us but gosh
I have to vent about a marriage thing, because I don't talk to anyone else. It's about money; I take care of the bills because I am organized and it's disastrous if DH does (we both agree on that). I dont really check the credit card statement sometimes, its all DH, we agreed he uses it for gas (car and bike) and his lunch/groceries near his work. And sometimes stuff for rallies, or his own stuff. So I mostly trust that items are valid.
But I saw a monthly charge for our internet, going back months. And it was a company that we had stopped getting our internet from. But DH did not think to tell me to cancel with them. SO we had been paying almost $50 a month for at least 6 months, without needing to!!! #@!&^*%$!!
AND I found a charge i didn't recognize, almost $60, months ago, and asked him about it; I do not remember what he told me, so I kind of ignored it. Then I see that it has been every month, for like $39, and I asked him again. It was not something he wanted, apparently the first one months ago was for some digital picture rights he was going to use for work, and he 'didn't realize it was for a subscription' and they charged every month. So there's well over $200 there. He said he can expense it at work, but slowly, like once a month. But he forgets things, so I will have to nag.
I scrimp on things to save money!! I am pissed
I don't buy things I want, like Olay Regenerist because I see it's $20 for a small container and i get a store brand instead. But ****, why should I scrimp when our money is being literally thrown away. I work too hard for a small amount of money to stand for that. !!!!
okay rant over.
Today is my first day off in TWO WEEKS. Even though some of my days at the club were short, like 5 hours, I still have been going there every day for 2 weeks and I am happy to have today off. I need to work out for an hour, clean up this dump a little, and do laundry. Too bad it's a dreary day outside or you know I'd be on the bike!! The foliage is GORGEOUS. Our dry summer apparently did not affect the color of the leaves, they are spectacular. Imagine the green mountains of Vermont but now they are alive with yellow, orange and red. They are shouting for joy before they go blah for the next 6 months, lol.
thanks for listening!! i needed to vent.
I've been trying to keep busy to avoid eating! Last day of the job was Friday. That leaves me with too much time to get lazy, and eat!
