Jody~ ER rocked. It is the highlight of my week every week. LOL!
Hi to everyone.
My headache has turned into a tummy thing. Sipping green tea after going back to bed this morning. I am not getting anything done. But it is a restful peaceful day here. Hubby playing his guitar. Kids playing a video game and sipping hot chocolate. I will tidy up a bit and vacuum these 2 rooms and then rest again.

HAPPY SATURDAY,
I just got back from curves and I'm down 8lbs for the month. I'm going to start weighin on mondays for WW. I just hope I don't get discouraged.
I've got to go. I have some errands to run.

Holly: Hope tummy is better. You deserve a day of rest.

Michelle: I like the walking goal. That is a wonderful idea. I get lots of walking on my job but I Stop and stoop and reach so much a pedometer wouldn't be accurate.
You are on your way the other 3 pounds will fall off soon.

Ups: You've been working hard. I'm sure you will have a loss. :

Everyone I missed HAVE A GREAT DAY

Yippy Skippy Debbie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got the vacuumng done. it looks so nice and clean and tidy!!! Resting again for a bit.

Just a short note~I had to work all day and now the kiddies need baths.

I lost the three pounds I gained over the holidays!!! I am now officiall back to my pre christmas weight. Hopefully with exercise this week I will drop some more. Yay!!

Holly-I hope you feel better. THere are a lot of things going around. Take care of yourself.

Hi to everyone else. I have to go dry a little girl.

Hi everyone,
I'm having a quiet day. I've just been watching movies and resting. We were suppose to go for a m/c ride. It just never happened. It's a shame because the weather is fantastic. It's still 70f this late in the day.
Dh and I did go for a brisk walk earlier... SHOCKING
I had 29 pts yesterday and 19 today. We ate so late today I just plan a snack later.

Hope everyone is having a great w-end.
Ya'll just know I'm thinking of everyone....


Later

Hello,
I've missed all of you! I woke up on Friday with an upset stomache and by 1:00 it was much more than that. I heard that there was a 24 hr virus going around. I'm pretty sure I had it. I came home from work around 1:00 and went to bed and stayed there until Saturday morning. Felt better when I got up but was "punny" all day.

Well, I can testify that being stressed about something (as I am about my upcoming Dr's appt) will make you gain weight no matter how well you eat and exercise. I had a 3 lb GAIN on Thursday. I was so upset, I could've cried (still could when I think about it). I've had to give myself a lot of pep talks about staying on track and hanging in there. I will, I am..but it's hard at times. The spot/blister/whatever the heck it is on my leg is really bothering me! I'm trying to find a dermotoligist that I can get into before the appointment I have in Feb. (I've had that appt since September! and when I call to see if I can drive to the city for an earlier appointment with her, there is none available--she only comes to my town once a month!). I'm just going to log on to my health care site and start calling Dr's. that take my insurance. I'm not waiting until Feb.

It's good to see everyone working hard out here to reach that Onederland. I'm going to continue to work for it too!

to everyone!
Susie

Hi everyone! I am (slowly) working my way down to 199 too. This seems like a nice group, do you mind if I join you? As of Saturday morning I was 216, so 17 pounds to Onederland.

Hello Chickies....

It's been a while. Just too disgusted with myself to even post. Trying, once again, to get back on track. I have been lurking but not posting. Isn't it amazing, that when I need the most support, I do not post.

A friend of mine passed away on Dec 26, that was depressing in itself. Very young. 49 yrs old. She had diabeted, however died of a heart attack. Her teenage daughters came home from shopping and found her on the living room floor. My heart just aches for them.

Hello to all the newbies....

I am going to do my best to get back here more than once a month.

I have missed you lovely ladies.

(((HUGS)))

Annie

Annie~So sorry to hear about your friend. ((hugs)) I too lurk when I am off track. It is really funny that I am just not proud of how I had been, and that pushed me not to post. Hope to see you again soon!

Good afternoon everyone,
I've had a good day. I have used 20 of my 28 pts.. I'll have a snack later to use some more. I didnt make it curves today but dh and I did take a walk again. The more I loose the more supportive he gets. I LIKE it.

Things are changing at work and I still not sure where I stand. I've been trying to get full time. This might be the chance I need.
The changes are still kind of scary.

Annie: I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. She was really young.
We are glad to have you lurking or posting. When you are ready just jump on in...We have missed you.

Jude: You'll find lots of support here. Just jump in anytime.

Susie: Sometimes you really have to be proactive with your health. It is your body. You have a very good reason to be worried. Keep searching for a doctor to take you sooner.
Don't worry too much about the 3lbs. You'll loose them when things settle down for you.

Michele:You are doing fantastic..Keep going.

I have to work tomorrow so I better get off here and get things straightened up.

I have been sick with a tummy bug since Sat.I feel better today.
At least I do so far! LOL! Half the hockey team was home hurling yesterday so it seems I know where I picked up this bug.
The piles have started already. 1 day back into school etc. I went up to bed early at 8:30 so didn’t putter last night. I had a great sleep tho.
I will put away ,tidy and sort right after the kids go to school!!!

I had a nervous feeling about money , bills, debt and had trouble disconnecting my brain to go to sleep last night.

I also called my Grandma to tell her I was coming on Wed to do her hair and she was odd and “off”, vague, lots of silences.Very unusal for her. I called my Sis who lives in the city to maybe go check on her but never heard anything back. I will call Grandma again today. She sleeps til at least 9. I will call at 10.

The other thing is that my Avon district manager called at 8pm to tell me my stats. I am ranked #6 in the district out of 336 sales rep, ahead of many veterans.

Too much to think on it seems.

Good morning All,
It's good to get here and read the posts. I'm through with the pity party that I was throwing for myself about the 3 lb gain and then the sickness and the upcoming doctor visits.

I finally resolved that I can't control those things, I can only control the way I react to them and handle them. I'm in proactive mode again..thanks to all of you!

Did anyone watch TV last night? I really sat down and watched a couple of shows..it felt great to relax (of course this was after I got home from my workout!). I watched "Emily's Reason's why not"--very good show..looking forward to each week. Also watched "Jake and Progess"--I like it too. I'm also a Bacholor junkie and the new one started last night. I enjoyed it as well.

Ok..I'm going to take a huge leap here and invite you all to view my weightloss blog. If you get some time to visit it, let me know what you think.

Here's the link

Debbie: You have done so well. I'm happy your hubby is supporting you.

Annie: I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. It's such a wakeup call that life is way to short! ((((((Hugs))))

Welcome to the Newbies.

I must run..time for work.

Susie

Holly: We must have been posting at the same. I think we had the same stomach flu. It's no fun and I felt puny for a couple of days. I hope you are feeling better.

hi chicks!
i hope everyone is doing well, stomach flu and all. i had a great 1st week, i weighed in yesterday and lost 5lbs. i met my goals of going to the gym 2x and really watching what i ate. this week has not been quite as good. i know it is only tuesday but i got stressed 2 days in a row and ate as a response to that. just noticing that i did it is a big step. i didn't eat anything terrible just more than what i planned. not beating myself up for it anymore as of this minute tho.

holly hope you get feeling better soon!! good for you with the avon sales keep up the great work!!

mychoice- i loved the blog thanks so much for sharing that with us! i love the flip flops on the first page!! that is something i would put on my blog if i made one. to me flip flops just mean summer and calm!! sorry to hear about the gain, we just don't have control over some things, if you know you did your best than that's all you can ask for, keep plugging along and the loss will come!

debbie keep up the great work!!
