THURSDAY: Time for Us Thursday. You need it and you deserve it so make time for you today! A facial, an hour with a good book, a swim in the pool by yourself, a walk, your nails done, a new outfit shopping alone, give yourself something today.

Good morning ladies. Hope you all slept well last night. My arm hurt so I ended up having to take Loritab and then on top of it I got the hiccups (which for me for some reason are always really painful) and freaky but it gave me heartburn so I had to take something for it. Man, I am falling apart! Arm feels a little better this morning.

POINTS WRAP UP FROM YESTERDAY:

I just cannot believe what a great job everyone is doing. Here's to you:


I got a 4 pt day yesterday and didn't even have cravings last night, which I have fallen back into again.

Sandy: Sometimes you don't know which is better the cure or the disease or whatever. Seems like meds always have a surprise attached to taking them. I just started low dose of something called Ramipril for BP and it made me lightheaded around lunchtime yesterday, but once I ate and sat down for awhile it quickly went away. It was my first dose so it may just be my body getting used to something new.

Knobhody: Feel better soon and here is a big hug and balloons for you:


Later ladies

Good Morning ladies,
Sheesh, it sure has been quiet in here lately!

4 points for me yesterday! Woo hoo........ I'm on a roll, but I'm gaining I think it's from the weights. Decided I'm not going to step on the scale until the end of June. (THAT in itself will be a major accomplishment!)

Sounds like everyone is doing great! Woo Hoo for us

Sandy, once a month is NOT enough time for yourself!!! Aren't we supposed to be doing something every week??? HMMMMM????? Of course, I would count my workouts as "time for me".......if you're working through some depression, take extra good care of yourself. You deserve it!

3 CHEERS FOR AMANDA THE CRUNCH !!!!!!!

Faye, sounds like you're getting back to your "old" self .....if a little bit slower. I hope every day gets better and better. Enjoy your date!

Gotta fly,
TTFN

Hi everyone!!

Man, it looks like everyone is doing so great!!! I'm proud of everyone!!! I wish I could be two places at once!! I like being in SC because I have my own little schedule everyday of what I need to do. But out here, nothing is organized, I'm being stressed and falling apart.....but this is where my family and friends are! It's crazy, I missed Woes for yesterday, and I doubt I'll have anytime for myself today, since I havent had any since I've gotten here. I havent exercised not one lick, and even though I've not exceeded my calories, I either dont eat but once, or I eat a happy meal from Mcdonalds or something crazy. But if I dont stop and eat something, I wouldnt eat all day. NOT GOOD!! I know, everyone wants to beat some sense into me,....so do I!!! But I dont even have time to do that!! GRRR!!!! My dad seems to need more help than I thought, and I'm the only one who helps him. This is just too ridiculous, I havent spent anytime with my friends and there are still some of them I havent even seen yet. I am ready to go now, but want to stay for my dad.?!?!? Well anyway enough of that, as far as my NCC challenge, I failed on the exercise and not getting stressed out part, but at least I've been eating smaller portions of non-healthy foods. I'll try to eat breakfast today. My husband got a truck, and although I should be happy, I'm not. I could care less about some stupid truck, that is not a family car or what we agreed on. I hate trucks, but who cares, I'll get my own job and get my own car.

Well, sorry so depressing but had to get it off my chest, no one else to talk to or understand!!! My friends just look at it like I'm exaggerating and I just "pretend" to be too busy. I get up at 6 everymorning just trying to make the days longer and dont get to bed until 1 or 2 the next morning, nothing I've done ,except getting my hair fixed, has been for me. But didnt I say that already?!?! Ok, I"m just going to suck it up and move on, life could be worse I guess, and I'm only here for 2 more days. I guess I will just try to spend these 2 doing something for me....well maybe tomorrow, today I have 50 million things to do. I wish I could congratulate you all more on how good you are and maybe put my 2 cents in, but I guess I'm too busy griping and complaining about myself instead of trying to be there for you all!!! I'll try to do better tomorrow, I gotta go start cooking breakfast for my dad!!

My Love to you all!!
Jay

Hi all!

I got 3 points yesterday - didn't do any exercise because I am trying to get my sleeping pattern in order and ended up staying awake for about 30 hours! it's bought my body clock back round abit - but it was an effort to stay awake for so long and I wasn't up for exercising!

I'm feeling very sick today - could be my pills or just missing a whole nights sleep! I'll see how i feel later as I don't really want to miss the bike for 2 days in a row.

take care all!

Love Amanda x

Hello Beautifuls!! 4 yesterday... already got my exercise in today so hopefully another. I want to thank you for listening to me ramble on yesterday... i know thats what we are here for... but its so nice when someone responds and you dont feel so alone. Besides... everyone should know that they are appreciated. I do try to get some me time every week... but with my husbands work schedule and the they kids schedules... its not always possible. I am going to start going to curves at 6am... that will be me time. Its an absolutly gorgeuos day here today... i think i will go out and put the new firepit together... i finally found someone selling fire wood so i can stock up for the summer. I hope u all have a wonderful day. I will check back later... take care of U

Hello Everyone,

Hope everyone is well. I get 4 points for yesterday. I had my day out today. Shopping / movie / lunch with my friend. I have to tell you how nice it is to do that sometimes. Just getting out of the house and doing enjoyable things, wow, sure improves the mood. I have one meal out a week of whatever I want, otherwise I'm on a very strict diet, so I always enjoy that. We saw The Day After Tomorrow. It was silly and the story was stupid, but I expected that. Actually I really enjoyed it anyway. I'm a big weather fan so watching all the nasty weather special effects was fun. I also got some really nice yarn to make some more hats and purses. It is normally $5 - $6.50 for a skein and I got it for $1.75 each so THAT certainly made my day. It still amazes me how having a nice day like that has put me in such a good mood.

Anyway, that's about all from Florida for now. Until later...

Hi Ladies

Walked/Jogged 3.25mls this morning and everything is going well the sun is beating down and i'm sat indoors whats up with that? i was awake at 2.45am this morning when the whole sky lit up it was a bit scary not knowing what it was but the problem was solved when i watched the news and they said it was either space junk or meteors no mention of little green men

We seem to have no end of health trouble lately. I spent all day running back and forth to Jack's work as he chemically burned his right eye with lime at work and got sand in it also so it is a mess. He is in a lot of pain, is on antibiotic drops and has to wear dark glasses because the eye is so sensitive right now. Funny story and I know you seriously demented women will love this! I had to take him to an opthamalogist that was recommended by the City of Memphis and this particular place caters to elderly so the whole waiting room was over 65 and totally black. The three little old ladies sitting across from us were so cute and when Jack went into the doctor the one asked me if he was a police officer (he had on his uniform) I told her no, that he worked at one of the city's water plants and rather than go into a big explanation told her he was an electrician so she would understand better. They next thing she said almost made me slide right onto the floor. "Is he your son?" I told her no, that he was my husband and that started this big conversation about how young the little snot looks! They couldn't believe he was old enough to be a father of adult children nor have a grandson! They also couldn't believe he is older than I am! Gracious, I guess I need to hit the bottle of anti wrinkle cream harder!

This group is really doing fantastic! I am very proud of you!

Bought me a cute new capri and sweater outfit for the 4th and new sandals to go with it so I am all jazzed about that.

Take care and say a little prayer for my sweety as he is really hurting!
