Sandra ~ Bless Heathers heart! A temp of 107??? I would have freaked completely out. Did they know why her temp went so high? I was with my dad several times while he did the Chemo treatment.....It is a heartbreaking experence. Hugs and prayers to you again. What a strong girl Heather must be! Good for you going to the gym! How did it go???
Thanks to all of you for your support with the schooling. I am nervous, but I am glad I can come back here and vent if I need to and get some great support. How awesome to have support not only for dieting, but for life in general. Wouldn't it be fun if we were closer and could go talk over lunch? Or dinner?? I appreciate you ladies very much. You are all wonderful people!!
I have done good today..cereal with skim milk and a banana! Got to work on my water though. Tomorrow will be my first aerobic class. That will be 2 days a week.
Well, I am going to get ready to get my hair cut. I look like 'Cousin IT' on the Adams Family! Got to get rid of some of this hair!!!!
Good morning ladies!
Well, yesterday's water aerobic class was fun. Not nearly as intense as a land step aerobic class but I love being in the water so I really enjoyed it and did get a decent workout. I've been to the gym already today and did 45 minutes on the treadmill. WooHoo!! Now due to my schedule I won't get to the gym until Monday so I'll just try to make healthy food choices in the meantime.
My first class back at college was last night. I'm looking forward to it, my book looks very interesting. Just a little background for you guys...I graduated high school in 1988, went back to school 14 years later for a 2 year RN program (2002) and graduated in 2004. I've been working as a psychiatric nurse for the last 1 1/2 years and am now starting the journey to my bachelors and masters to have my Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatry. I'm only going part time so it will take 7-8 years. I figure I'll graduate around the same time my daughter graduates high school. Hee hee!!!
I hope you guys feel better with the stomach bug going around. We have a couple hubbies with physical problems, too....how are they doing?
Karyn ~ I hope you're having better times with your son!!
Well, I went to aerobics class tonight. Didn't feel much like it but I went anyway. My throat is really starting hurt. I am getting the junk my hubby has. UGH!!!!!!! Anyway, I went! It was not too bad, but certainly a workout. I have eaten good today.....oatmeal for breakfast....Lean ham on wheat bread with FF cheese......and chilli and salad for dinner. I had a couple york sugar free peppermint patties too and some sugar free hot chocolate with skim milk. I needed something hot for my throat.
Sandra ~ Yay for you going back to school! What a lot you will have! Makes my 15 months of school look kind of silly! You inspire me though. That is awesome!!!
Well, I am going to take some meds and get into bed. I feel rotten!!!!
Kim
Well, I did not get up early to exercise. I slept really badly, hoping I can fit it in later Doing well so far, but DS almost missed the bus. I lost track of time this AM. But we are back to schedule for now.
Kim~I hope you feel better soon. It is rough when you have to stop and be sick.
Hi Ladies...I hope you are all feeling better than I am. Still feeling really bad. My doctor called in some antibiotics yesterday, so hopefully I will be better by tomorrow. I have school orientation in the morning. All my loans went through, so I guess I am ready!!! YAY!!!!
Just wanted to check in!
Kim
Hey Kim~I know things have been really quiet around here. I personally have been extremely busy (or just too lazy to post)! Things are going well here. I have my siblings for another 11 days (15 days before mom gets back). I am starting to get a little excited about our cruise. I am going to try to order a dress, and hope that it gets here in 2weeks!! Keep your fingers crossed. BTW how was your orientation and did school start??? I haev been thinking about you. I still have to finish my degree, butwith 3 little ones I can't even think about going back right now. It makes my mind spin. I know you can do it!!!
Holly~I have been fine. Eating has been not great, but I have been fitting exercise into my day. I forgot to congradulate you on your Avon record. That is very good. (awsome!!) I know you have it in you to be the best.
All the others I hope you all come back. I love this thread!!
Good Morning Ladies~
Yes Kim - I'm dying to hear how you did at orientation and with the start of school. My first class went well and we didn't have class this week due to the holiday yesterday.
I'm assuming that the board is slow because everyone has been so sick. I hope you all are feeling better and come back soon.
I did an hour on the treadmill this morning. Now to just have a good day eating. We'll see.
Heather update: Her 2nd chemo treatment last week went much better than the first. She's getting sick a lot and actually back in the hospital as of last night with neutropenia (dangerously low white blood cell count). Her doctors are keeping really good checks on her which is comforting. Thanks for your thoughts!!
Hi everyone! I haven't been here in a loooooooong time. WOW, Kim you are the only name that I recognize, and you've hung in there all this time! Good for you.
My favorite smilie used to be the dancing banana and now there is a carrot! I think I like that better, after being called carrot top for the majority of my childhood!!
I started back on SBD today. I lost 36 lbs last year and then went nuts and have gained most of it back. Secretly I can't wait to see my old ticker when I post this. shh shhh Unfortunately I'll have to change it in a BIG way and not in the direction I would like.
Hello ladies,
I do hope I'm not intruding...but I have been cruising this MB looking for a group that I might fit in with...and I thought maybe I could join in with you?
I am 30 years old, SAHM to three kids and I have to tell you..the title of this group really hits home!!! I have spent so many years putting myself last and it is really starting to show (in my hips...in my rear end...in my gut LOL!!!) Anyway, I think it would be nice to talk with some people who know the struggles we moms face from day to day in making time for ourselves. So...do you mind another mom???
Day #2, doing good, but this almost constant need to pee is making me crazy!! Of course I'm burning calories with all the running back and forth to the bathroom
WooHoo!! Now due to my schedule I won't get to the gym until Monday so I'll just try to make healthy food choices in the meantime. 
Anyway, I went! It was not too bad, but certainly a workout. I have eaten good today.....oatmeal for breakfast....Lean ham on wheat bread with FF cheese......and chilli and salad for dinner.
