Okay so there is no purpous to this post however im so bord at work and my mind is going a billion different ways first and for most I cant (well can) make it to the gym tonight See I have a little time however I have a birthday party to go to at 7pm so that only gives me a little time and I dont want to go to the party all stinky. But i feel so bad like im giving up 2 easy i mean I missed the gym Saturday and Sunday however I kept busy doing yard work and playing with my nephew, I just feel like im "skipping school" like im being Naughty.

ALSO Im going to a Mexican restruant for dinner tonight and i think ill crack again and after a bad weekend i think im getting weak!!!!!! I keep trying to tell myself to just be cool and all will work out fine but i just cant i keep feeling so bad . Does anyone understand where im coming from???

And what is with cravings do you give in even if you have been Naughty or do u pretend they arent there?????

I have often given thought about Overeaters Anoymous however thats not so anoymous to me..lol Ive also thought about Tops and Being hyptyonised but have never fully looked into it. I have also thought about stumach sugery (sp) however I want a nice flat tummy so I can show it and not a huge scar.. so that leaves me here with extreamily hard work.

Anyway im taking off soon, you all have a great evening and wish me luck 4 tonight...

Good morning all!

good to have you back Nickie Now don't worry about this last weekend and concentrate on how GOOD you're going to do this week to make up for it. Sorry to hear about your leg. Is that going to effect your exercise routine at all? Get well soon!

Vi, Vi, Vi.... You can't let your eating get you down. I sure hope you didn't crack under pressure at the restaurant. There are always healthy alternatives when you go out, you just have to look for them. I KNOW you can do this, it just takes a HUGE effort on your part. Maybe instead of eating bad all weekend you can take one day off. I used to do that, that's how I lost 150lbs in one year. I would think of all the bad-for-me things I was going to eat all week then I would go wild on Saturday. It worked and I don't know why I quit. Oh yeah, I got married and I gave into hubby's cravings! It will be worth it in the end, I promise. Go to the gym, eat good and it'll happen. Listen to me! LOL

Where did Debs go?

Only 2 more days until my husband gets home, yeah! I really miss the big turd, but I'm sure by Sunday he'll be driving me crazy again. Today's plan is to do 45 minutes on the bike, and eat good. I didn't exercise yesterday because I was too tired. I know, excuses-exscuses. I did eat right though.

Hubby's on the phone, so I'll write more later,
Kathy

Aww thanks for the inspiration Healthy and Vi and everyone I sure need it. It's not easy living off shakes and seeing all the food on TV and driving past them, etc. but - it will be worth it so I'm sticking it out. I'm so glad to hear that your principal has done well with Medifast. It gives me encouragement. I will also say to you Healthy, check it out. I know that diabetics can use the system as they have special shakes, etc. for them so I'm sure that you'd be able to do it. Check with your doc maybe. I also suffer with IBS - have done for over 10 years. I haven't had an attack since I began this diet!! It's wonderful. Lots of fiber, no gas, no anything. You can even take fiber supplements like Metamucil if you want the extra.

Anyway, no diet is for everyone but I'm just having such a good experience I have to share. Forgive me.

Hugs to you all and I'll check back when I have more time! (work!!)

Welcome Teddy and Margiann! This is a great group and we keep growing as we shrink!


Vi-hey as long as you recognize the indulgence and get back on track that’s ok. I’d go overboard at a Mexican joint too! Cut yourself some slack—but not too much! You are doing great! On the neighbor-he works with your mom?


Alisha-whatever works for you—great! Do you only drink/eat the shakes? Is it for the rest of your life? I know nothing about Medifast.

Kathy-I see that you have found some great icons on your time away from dh! Are you planning anything special for his return….oh wait……some things we don’t need to know ! Did your kids have a good vacation?

Teddy-I know all about it being hot in Florida. Check the local pools for water aerobics. You don’t necessarily have to be a member to take a class. I’m sure St. Pete has TONS of places. (you are in St. Pete right?).

Nikki-How is your knee? I’ve never thought about, probably because I never really thought I over ate! HA! If you think it will be beneficial look into it. I don’t think I’d be able to do it. Admit I eat raw cookie dough and sometimes brownie mix? AHHH (ok…I admitted it  )

Healthy-what are you eating? I should probably get back to keeping track.

I had a nice time on the 4th. Didn't really eat healthy .
Tuesday I didn't do that much. I was so tired! I was looking places for rent. We went to look at a place It was a dump!

We then drove around for about 1 1/2 hours-no luck.

Today I looked up a few places-left some messages-no one has called me back. UG! I am getting stressed ! Our lease is up on the 26th. I am so not even looking like I am moving-like maybe 2 boxes packed. I have to get some stuff today.

Nathan and I went to the pool. It has HOT outside so the water felt great.

I have no reason to not go to Curves tonight! I'll be ready-when dh gets home I'll leave. I think I need to get weighed and measured. It's been about a month. I don't think there is much change. UGGG. My fault completely.

I only have 3 weeks of vacation left. Next week I have training all week-all day. I really wanted to get into my class and get it set up before we have to go back. I moved rooms, so I have to unpack all my stuff! I hate MOVING!!!!

I'm stressed....and I always eat horribly when I am stressed!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I better get going...tons of stuff to do!

Thanks for the suppor Debs Im trying to not be so hard on myself but as im sure you know it hard.

As far as Trevor my neighbor goes he works at the sears at the mall across from where my mom works she works at Rite Aid and he comes in to get beer and stuff every few days and they talk all the time, My mom thinks he may like me bust said to just give it time and let things happen.. but my golly he is a hottie!!!

[debsturn]

Hello Ladies! It's going to take me awhile to get into the swing of things around here, but I plan to be around awhile.

I'm still trying to eat all the right carbs. just in smaller portions. I haven't exercised in about two days and I'm looking forward to getting back into the routine. My body and mind feels better after exercising. As I wrote earlier I'm going through perimenopause and having a difficult time emotionally and physically. Exercising is suppose to help, but believe me my medications are one of my BIGGEST help . When I first began experiencing symptoms and did not know what was going on I was going semi-regularly to a gym. I lost about 30 pounds but my emotional state was not good. Believe me, hormonal imbalance is more than an occasional hot flash. I'm saying this because we hear so much about exercising, exercising, and believe me all the weights, and cardo. did not help my emotional state. Yes, my clothes fit wayyyyyyyy better and I was regaining my girlish waistline, but who cares when you can't get off the sofa, sleep, or function. I think the majority of you ladies her are a lot younger than me so you have some time before you cross this bridge.

Deb, I know about that moving and setting up a classroom. This will be my first year of being in the education profession that I will not have to set up my classroom. I accepted a position working with immigrant students and parents and I'm EXCITED!!!
I bet my family is also glad, because setting up my classroom was a family affair whether they wanted to or not LOL.

Vi, don't beat yourself up today is a new day. I just ate some eggrolls...well they were a little more than some , but I plan to put in a few extra minutes of exercising to hopefully burn off 2 or 3 eggrolls .

Alisha, I'm so proud of you with the Medifast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[debsturn]

Blah! Yelled at my dh about moving. Since I'm home, I'm doing the leg work. Well my dh has his own opinions. He's not a jerk, just particular. We *must* have a garage-ok...easier said than done! UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!! We really got a great deal with this place. I so don't want to pack! He's on vacation next week-so I know he'll help out with packing. I know it will all work out.

My thoughts and prayers go out to London. Brings back memories of 9/11.

Thursday morning. Woke up with dh telling me about London.

Last night we got a call back about a house for rent. It's in a good neighborhood. It's 2/2 (we live in a 3 bedroom now). We have an appointment this evening. We are bring the $$ with us. We drove by the house last night. We really like it from the outside. It has a HUGE, WOODEN fenced yard--a great thing considering I have a 6yo. We have yard space now, but we don't let Nathan outside unless we are with him. We live off of a VERY busy road---many people drive by. It's less than 10 min. from here. It would only add about 5 min. of work time. There is a Curves up the street. It has a 2 car garage. The rent is the same as here, which is ok with me.

We don't really need 3 bedrooms. We used the 3rd bedroom for over a year as a "junk" room and computer room. My friend came in March with her 5 month old, so I set the room up as a nursery. We put Nathan's crib up and put a few other baby things in there. We moved to the computer to the kitchen. We have a decent size eat in, and we don't use it--so we moved the comuter. Hopefully this new house has enough space for the computer.--our lifeline! LOL. Hopefully they like us and will rent to us. Oh-it's available next week! Perfect for us! That's what I wanted. I wanted to move next week, dh is on vacation. Have a yard sale (here) on the 22 and 23. Go back to work on the 25th.

I better get going. Today is the last day of Nathan's swim lessons-well the 1/2 level. He starts the 2/3 level on Monday. My dh will be taking him because I am at an inservice all week. I have to write all the TO DO things for today. I MUST go to the library-have to return books. I have to stop by the Kirby place to pick up shampoo for the vaccuum. OH! Today is a friend's b-day gotta call her. Plus I never saw my other friend for her b-day.

Talk to you all later!

Good Morning all my buddies,

I woke up to a very sad morning today my heart goes out to everyone in London, My heart just breaks with the news of the bombings, It does bring me back to 9/11 and many thoughts of all whom are nolonger with us May we take a moment and reflect on all the pain this terror group is causing everyone. my prayers and love is with them all..


Anyway on to better things I had a great night lastnight I worked my butt off at the gym and had a very healthy dinner a Salda with bbq chicken on top. I have gained 3lbs probably because of the horrible weekend but ill just relax and go with the flow and work harder... No news from the hottie across the street... I need to work on that too its so funny its like im in high school all over again..

Hope you all have a good and safe day

Hugs
