Good morning ladies!! I made it to the gym last night!!! Worked out for an hour and 15 mins!! I wanted to keep going, but DH stayed home with the sick one, and he had to get in bed because he went back to work. Not much else going on, kinda rainy and grey here, so just trying to keep up with the kiddies after being up with DD last night, but she does seem to be getting better, the fever is down, and she is playing. Well, have to get moving, even if I do just want to stay in bed. Later chicas!!

Hey everone,
I had a 1.6 lb gain...I am very disappointed. I didn't even use my weekly points And I made it to curves 3x last week.
I did go to curves this am and then worked in 95f temp most of the day.
I was hungry so I stopped and ate subway on the way to my meeting.
I did't eat 1.6 lbs of food . I drank 6 16 oz bottles of water today. ???
Oh well... I'll just have to do better next week.
I'm not going to change my tracker because I don't intend on going back again next week.

You saw in my last post how crazy work really was, I didn't even have my 'W"

I guess I have re-couped some. I'm doing my second load of laundry and then I going to read the rest of the evening. Ds and dgs have the tv tied up playing video games. They don't have much in common except the video games. They really like to play on the 60".
I've done much better on food today. I made it to curves this am... 3x this week

Everyone have a great w-end...Later

Hello,
I sort of got lost in the vacation week and then the back to work week, but I'm back and glad to be here. I haven't been to my TOPS meeting for two weeks. I go back this Thursday and I'm striving to stay focused so that I will show a loss.

Staying focused for me is to get to my workouts, to not eat sweets and to have my "down" time so I don't feel overwhelmed.

I'll be around all week.

Hello My Friends....

First WI at WW am down 1.4. Should be more, as I only did program for half of the week. This week, I am going for an entire week of program. Weekends are hard, and I felt lonely and sad all weekend, therefore eating. I didn't even have the gumption to get on line and post. I am feeling a bit better today and went to WW and stayed for the entire meeting. It was actually pretty good. No reason to be blue except the weight issue. I don't feel like I can be in a relationship with this weight on. Pathetic. Enough whining.

Next week is my momma's 77th birthday. She is still hanging in there, but has many medical issues. It is sad to see you parent's health failing and knowing not much time is left.

Anyway, I think I will just end this post, as I am making myself depressed. Sorry for the blahs. Guess I just need a hug.

Hello All,

Just checking in. I'm hanging in there. I've lost a couple more pounds, it's coming off very slowly, but I'm hanging in there. Riding my bike, eating more protein than breads and trying not to overeat. This hot weather kills me - summer is when I become so sedentary and sit around inside and gain all the weight I lose in the winter...so I'm just trying to stay on track.

Debbie: seems like WW is going well for you? I still go every Saturday morning, though I'm not journaling like I should be! It still really helps me stay on track during the week.

Hope you all are staying COOL!!!!

Good evening everyone,
I was down 3.8 lbs at my wi. I find it real hard to be too excited because I was outside most of the day at work in 107f temps. I believe I probably only lost .8 fat the rest was sweat. I didn't go the curves yesterday. I knew I would be outside. I just couldn't do it, but I did go today.
I stayed within my pts the last 2 days.

Girlie: Good to hear from you. sounds like your doing great. I also hate summer.
If I had half a chance. I'd move any place cooler. My home town highs average in the 80's. The 90's for them are the exception instead of the rule...
and it rains there.

Annie: Great loss. I also have trouble staying Op when dh works on the w-ends. The boys are gone and I just plain get bored and lonely.

Susie: You always do so well. It's good to see you are taking time for "ME TIME"

Ok..when I get busy, to busy for me I have a gain at the scales. That's the way it is and the only way to get around it is to make sure that I make myself a priority. Sounds easy, but not for a caretaker like me. It's something I'm really going to have to work at, but I must because I want to and I'm not going to get the results what I want if I don't do it.

My stomach is messed up today but I know it's because I've been overeating. Today I'm detoxing. I've gained back 7 of the 10 lbs I lost..time to get at it again and this time I'm not stopping. No one or NOTHING is getting between me and that size 12!

It was great to read everyones posts. Sorry that I don't have time for personals right now. I'll try to get here this weekend and get more involved.

Susie: YOU GO GIRL....Make sure you take care of yourself.
I've always put myself and my health on the back burner. I was the oldest child by 7years. I married the baby of his family. The I had my kids fairly young.So...I have been taking putting others first my whole life...It's our turn my friend.

((Annie))

Yeah! Deb!!

Keep going Susie!!

Hi girlie, UPS!!!!!

8 kids today, I cleaned all morning and sorted stuff for the market tomorrow. We went out for dinner last night because hubby was home early from work. My MIL sent $25, almost paid for it all. No dishes is great!!!!

I did 2 loads of wash this morning and folded and put them away while i watched my soap upstairs.Then I headed outside and filled the wading pool and turned on the slippery slider. Darn kids complained about the pool being too small, whine , whine....I dumped it out and put it away( possibly for good).
Still played on the slippery slider. Apparently that is good enough for them.
I am fading a bit. The one little guy needs a sharp eye so no siesta for me today.
I can sit and veg for a bit at least.

Need to come up with something exciting for supper.
Thinking we need a Sam’s club run too. I am out of KD and canned goods. Definitely cheaper there in bulk. I get trays of chicken pieces too. DD5 need a new swim suit, hers was a hand me down when she was 2. It is riding up her bum these days. I want to get new pillows for our spare bed for our company too.
Mom called to ask me how it felt to be 41 and then talked about herself for a 1/2 hour.
um..... thanks Mom ....we had a lovely dinner out with my gift from my MIL!! *giggle*

My sister in law emailed suggesting that maybe hubby would to all the evening chores( she is married to his bro and they are 2 peas in a pod) . I emailed back..... I would be thrilled with him just not being a total assh*le for a few hours.LOL!!!!!!!! Major giggles from both of us!!

To be honest he has been pretty great lately......................even helpful or supportive at times.......................

HUGS!!!

HOLLY:
I hope you are having a wonder b-day.


I'm getting excited about our roadtrip. On the 31st we are driving to Dayton, Ohio to see BIL and family then stopping back by western kentucky to spend a few days with MIL. I'm just glad to get out of here. I hope the weather gets cooler and it rains on us.
Foods been good I've stayed op and made it to curves 3x this week.

Thank you for the hugs.

Ole Auntie Flo dropped in yesterday, which really explains the blues of last weekend. It seems the older I get the harder that time of month gets on me. I was lazy and slept a lot last weekend. It is becoming a pattern with the monthly cycle. It is **** getting older.

The weight has been up and down this week. Seems one day of control, then next day, out of control with eating. At least there are some days with control. haha

Stopped at the movies on the way home tonight to see "The Devil Wears Prada". A real cute movie. Had to laugh on parts of it, it reminded my of how dynamic my job is, and thinking I work for the tazmanien devil myself. haha My boss saw it a couple of weeks ago and said it was a cute movie, now I get what she is talking about.

My son got a speeding ticket and since he is 17 and won't be 18 til next month, he has take defensive driving school, which involved renting the dvd for 40 bucks, taking the test over the phone, AND PASSING it. He also had to pay the 118.00. ticket. Sorry bout working hard all summer to pay fees. Slow down.

Going to St. Louis next weekend to visit a GF from childhood. We met when we were 4. grew up together. Should be fun.

Hello to all, stay focused and happy.

(((Hugs)))
