Carly, Don't be too nervous about the biopsy. I had a cervical biopsy done 3 almost 3 yrs ago. I had cancer starting while I was pregnant. If that wasn't nerve wracking. They couldn't do anything about it until after I had her. I had my biopsy and surgery and I'm okee dokee 3 yrs later. I finally got the okay a few months ago to start doing annual exams instead of every 6 months. My mom had uterine cancer. She had her uterus removed in Feb. She was pretty scared but she's also fine. My point, I guess, is that its really treatable...one of the most treatable. Hang in there hon!
I'm snacking like crazy girls. My time o' the month is coming in a week or so and I've got cravings like crazy. Do you gals have the same problem? If you do, what do you do?
~gotta go. I'm going with hubby on a service call.
I am nervous... but that is what emotional eating is for right...LOL... i think once i have an idea on what i am suppose to do.. i would feel better,,,, not so nervous.. ya know..
well Michelle, you better tell that hubby of yours to get on the ball.. he needs his green card ... tell him to stop making you a wreck and just do it... I am sorry to hear he will miss the wedding that is very sad..
chris_ thank you for your words.. i do try to think positive.. just the eating says a different story.. ya know.. 10 lbs lost 3 weeks ago and probably 15lbs gained now.. but i also did stop smoking so that doesnt help... at least i am getting healther in some respects. i do about 20 to 30 minutes of walking a day... i actually got my hubby out walking tonight... he has a budda belly he needs all the walking he can get... he worries me.. usually its me and my 12 year old daughter out walking... gave her a break tonight..LOL.. i am going to try and get him out there at least 3x week.. not sure if he will do it all he did was complain but i will try..
well everyone have a great night.. i will check in tomorrow...
Carly, I was a smoker for years too, but my hubby said he wouldn't marry me unless I quit. When I quit, my weight creeped up too. I wonder why that is. Anyhow, if it weren't for him, I wouls still be smoking. He's really a worrier about that stuff. His mom has emphysema, COPD, and congestive heart failure. His brother was diagnosed with lung cancer 2 yrs ago. Both were heavy smokers. It's a GREAT thing that you quit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Carly & Michelle-Not much happening here today. Paying bills, going to the bank, housework, etc. I've been running so much lately, I just want to spend most of the day at home. I miss my messy commode..... I know, I'm weird. Gotta go get busy. Talk to you soon.
I just wanted to stop in and tell everyone HI! I had been posting here for a long time.. I know Chris, Hi Girl! and MichelleJ
Carly,
Good luck with the biopsy. I know you are a nervous wreck but I bet everything is gonna be just fine! Try to keep your fingers busy during this time to kept from snacking
Well I just wanted to stop in and say HI! I hope you all have a great day!
chris you are not wierd... you are just one of a kind....LOL....
anyways, i went and had the biopsy today.. at the moment i am doing ok.. it wasnt as bad as i had imagined... always think the worst anyways,.... I will have the results on friday or tuesday... i really hope friday.. i dont want to wait until next week... if there is another step i must take i would like to know at this moment thank you..
my poor hubby is very upset... no personal time for me and him for at least 2 weeks... he is very sad about that...LOL.... me on the other hand.. well a rest is nice..LOL...
well it was nice to see you penny... i hope you pop in more often...
michelle- where are you????
well everyone have a wonderful night.. you are all great... keep up the great work...
Carly-Glad to hear the biopsy went okay. I know I white-knuckled it through mine. It wasn't too bad though. I had some cramping afterwards that about put me on the floor in the reception area...but nothing that alot of Advil couldn't cure. I don't like to wait for results either...whether its bad news or good, I want to know immediately so I can take care of the problem. Your poor hubby. How will he ever manage...lol????
I am doing so bad today on my eating. That time o' the month is right around the corner and my munching is in full swing. I didn't even get any exercise today. I'll remedy that tomorrow.
It's just pathetic to me. I keep sabotaging my progress. It's almost like I want to stay fat, because then everyone expects less from me. I don't even have higher expectations of me. Does all this make sense? I want to be thinner and healthier so bad but scared to death to go there. Maybe some deep psychological reasoning for this.
There is an annoying beep in this house. My husband let my daughter play with a cellphone and it keeps beeping every 20 min. or so and we still can't find it. You'd think the battery would die sooner or later....
Okay...enough for me. I have to install quickbooks on the computer before I go to bed so I can finally get our bookwork in order. OOOOO fun!
chris- the sabatoge thing.. i totally understand... it seems you get to a certain point then all of a sudden your will power.. your brain power just goes out the window and its a free for all...LOL... but we are working on that ... and it will get easier.. just have some rough days thats all.. i need to learn to handle stress better.. and realize i should have more confidence in myself.. that is something i totally dont have.. and i should.. i think all women should.. these are things i am working on...
you will get to where you want to be ... it just takes time.. and remember we are all here to support you... even when we sabotage ourselves... no need to beat yourself up... just get back on the wagon...
oh yeah... the cramping thing... i so hate that...LOL...
I get the pleasure of taking Nicole to the doctor today. She was complaining about her tongue hurting yesterday and so we looked and she had what appeared to be a canker sore on it. This mornng she woke up and her daddy asked if he could see her tongue again because she had a really rough night. We looked in her mouth again and now she has 3 large spots now and one is ulcerated. Don't know what that's all about but I guess we'll find out.
I'm up 2 lbs this a.m. I'm heading the wrong direction. Not good! I have to get exercising...regularly. This hit and miss stuff with exercise and food is going to stop. I could go on and on...but I suppose I better get Nicole ready so I can make an appt. for her. I'll check back later and let ya all know what weird ailment the child has.
chris- I certainly hope nicole is ok... please let me know.. poor thing...
talking about the lbs up and eating i am with you girlfriend.. but i am trying to get my brain under control... i am an emotional eater.. and lately with all thats been going on all i do is eat.. i am hoping that when i get the results back and now the next step that i will relax and get myself under control.. i believe alot of issue's that people have with themselves is the food we put in our bodies.. so i just need tofigure out how to enjoy eating healthy.. i wish my husband would jump on this band wagon... he is so overweight its not funny i love him to pieces and it scares me to death because a few years back he ended up in the hospital because of heart problems... he does not seem to care about that as much as i do.. he is about 220lb height 5'8... he is 40 years old.. any suggestions on how to get him on the band wagon with out him actually knowing..LOL... i have to be sneaky....
oh yeah one more question??? anyone know anything about homeschooling??? my daughter 12 wants to be homeschooled but i have no clue where to begin.. and not sure if that is a good idea ... but she is a wreck about going back to this school... and she has always loved school.. but moving here has changed her about that..
well i hope everyone has a wonderful day..keep up the great work.. today will be better...
Good morning all. The phone has finally stopped beeping!
Carly-Nicole has that hand/foot/mouth virus. I thought she only had the sores on her tongue but she has them in her throat, on the inside of her lips and her cheeks. She's sore and we're home today. But of course, I was so worried about that, I didn't tell the doctor about her wetting her pants alot lately. You go to the doctor and just go blank. Anyhow, I talked to his nurse this a.m. and I have to take her back this afternoon for a urine test to see if she has a UTI. We were so worried about the cats peeing on the carpet and here it's her.
I can't really give you much advice on getting your husband on the bandwagon. Mine is the same way. He's 240 lbs, but 6 ft 2. He's overweight, is hypothyroid, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and has acid reflux disease. You'd think he'd want to change but.... I'm not helping much either. I could be cooking healthier but I don't. I worry about him. His mom and one of his brother's have had heart attacks. His brother had his in his late 30s. His mom, sister, and that same brother all are diabetic...and his mom has congestive heart failure. I'd be scared straight and healthy if I were him. Can't figure out why I'm not scared about my own health.
I think to homeschool you have to register with your state, but I'm not sure. I'd maybe contact someone in the school system or a government office and find out.
Hi Chelle-How goes it with you? Haven't seen a post for a bit. Let us know how you're doing.
Anyhow, I take nicole back to the doctor today. In my state of doctoritis..where you forget everything and your mind drawa a blank once you enter the office, I didn't remember to ask about her sudden change in potty habits. She's not using the toilet anymore. Anyplace is fair game. I have an appt. this afternoon with her doc again to do a urine test on her to see if she has a UTI. Her mouth sores were worse than I though...she has sores down her throat, inside her cheeks, lipe, etc. Nothing they can do. It's a virus that has to work its way through.
Anyhow, gotta make some lunch and get her ready to go AGAIN.
I'll respond to the rest of the posting after awhile...
chris- I hope nicole is feeling a bit better today... i heard it takes about 7to 10 days for that to work its self out. poor thing to feel like that for that long..
well.. me and hubby took a walk together last night again.. all he does is complain but at least he is going that is more then he was doing before.. but once the winter hits i wonder if he will keep it up.. i have noticed that his eating habits have changed a bit.. he is portioning his meals... damn him .. one up on me again..LOL... but he is doing it on the sneaky not saying to much ya know,,, unlike me who says hey look little meals...LOL.. but anyways, i was happy about that.. now i just have to jump on that band wagon.
I feel better today... my doctor is suppose to call either today or tuesday.. i do certainly hope he calls today.. i think this is one of the reason i have been out of my mind.. i have no patience with any thing or anyone and all i want to do is cry or yell.. not a very good way to be.. because i use to be really nice.. not sure what has happened to me.. need to find me again i guess...
to many stresses .. but i am really trying to look on the bright side of things.. i have a job, my children are healthy... maybe not always happy but healthy... my hubby for the most part is wonderful... so really i have it pretty good why be so grumpy all the time...
well thank you for just letting me vent a little...
have a wonderful day... chris let me know how nicole is doing .... i will try and check back later...
Carly, I got Nicole back into the doctor yesterday for her urine test...She's totally normal in that department. I have a child who has regressed a bit. Darn it! Just when ya thought you don't have to fork out anymore money for pull ups.
We had a tornado last night about 14 miles north of our city. It was about a mile away from my ex's place. It WAS heading straight for his town but it changed course a bit. He lucked out. Actually everyone got lucky since most of it is farmland out that way. It still scared me. We usually only get funnel clouds, but nothing that touches down. This was a bit spooky
I didn't do anything yesterday. I ate poorly and didn't exercise. I wish you lived closer so we could kill this problem with us together. I sure could use a buddy. I just have no one to be accountable to. I want it, but not bad enough I guess. REFOCUS! REFOCUS! REFOCUS!
My cat is in the closet meowwing...what a weirdo. She usually sleeps on my modem. Don't know what she's squawking for. i better go and get some stuff done. It's nice and cool today so I can go out and vacuum my van out without dying from the heat. Talk to you later.
Chris- i could also use a buddy... we will just have to encourage either other and keep moving forward.. we will get there..
I am so happy to hear that nicole is ok.. my daughter regressed when she was about 3 and it drove me bananas but it only lasted a short time... she was totally potty trained by the time she turned 2 so i was like you a bit worried of why this was happening.. but dr. said it was normal...
now if you where talking about my boys.. they where not potty trained until my oldest 31/2 and my second son 3.. so i was very happy when my daughter was all done with diapers by 2.. she is just very intelligent.. not sure where that came from but i am happy...
where do you live again??? tornados.. nope not for me...lol... i hate any kind of storms so that would put me completely over the edge...LOL...
well have a great day... remember you have to do great today or i will send you a bad e-mail...LOL... only kidding.. keep your chin up.. we will get there.. believe me already today and its not even 11 am yet i have ruined my eating ... i have a bowl of fruitloops at about 8 and just had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on white bread.. not a very good start.. but i noticed since they did this procedure on me.. my hormones have been all out of wack did that happen with you when you had it done???
and i am still blaming the not smoking thing on my eating habits too.. ya know.. i am the excuse queen... you sure you want me for a buddy...LOL...
I am sorry to hear he will miss the wedding that is very sad..
I know, I'm weird. Gotta go get busy. Talk to you soon.
and MichelleJ 
How will he ever manage...lol????
