You are so sweet Chris. I think I've just about decided that it's not worth it right now to stress myself out. Anyway my kids are 16, 9 and 7. The 9 and 7 year cannot be trusted to be here while I go to class. And no they don't offer Internet classes at my level. The classes I am taking are a night so.... Anyway I don't really feel bad about it. I feel a little sad b/c I thought I would be able to just go all the way through, but I've dropped semesters for much less in the past. We will be okay I'm sure things will work out.
Ruthie...hello nice to see you here.. I am sorry to hear your difficulties... is there any way you can set up your house so your childrens daily intake of food is already set up and when that is gone that is it.... I know my kids always liked running back in forth to the fridge anytime they wanted... and grab whatever they wanted etc.etc.. but sometimes you just have to stop them from doing that.. we had to do that.. because they we just being gluttons.. and if i bought a bag of apples... one child would eat the hole bag in a day... I mean apples are good for ya... but hey lets not go over board.. so i had to start setting it up so things were prepared a head of time.. and when they where done that was it until tomorrow... its hard at first because if you kids are like mine they are hungry twenty four seven... but if you talk with you dr.. they should help you with how many calories a day and all that stuff.. it is hard and you do feel so bad because face it who wants thier children saying there hungry but sometimes its just boredom... or nothing better to do ya know what i mean.. anyways... I hope this helps a little..
hey Chris, sorry I havent been around for a couple days.. I was not feeling so great.. but I am feeling a bit better.. around here has been crazy.. but i have been exercising and drinking my water like i should be.. my eating is still not where i want it to be but i am working on that.. even as an adult portion control is so hard.... at least its feb and the nice weather is not to far away.. nothing has been happening with the house but not giving up hope.. spring is a coming... well have a great day.. keep up the great work.. stay on plan.
I'm sick of this updating the server stuff. I can't get on..I can...I can't...I can. Going crazy.
I'm taking a break from my homework. I went up to the hospital to give my sister a little break from her son. They put him in last night with a very bad breathing problem from yet another virus. I think she is getting the worst of it this year with her kids. So I didn't get to the gym last night and I might not be able to get in today. I have some assignments due. I've really been out of sorts this week with my eating and I'm totally frustrated by that. I don't know why eating is such a problem for me. I know I want to be thinner and healthier but I sabotage myself in so many ways...so many days.
Gotta get back to the ol homework grind. I'll check back and hopefully you'll be feeling better too, Carly. Hummm...wonder how Ellen's cruise is going????
Hey Ruthie! Checkin up on ya too. How's things in your homefront???
I'm Back!!! Yay we had such a great time! I did weigh in today(no scale on board) and I did gain 5lbs, but we exercised everyday and controled our eating, but I was not able to get my water in at all, and the food had some sodium in it. I am giving myself a week to get back down. I am pretty sure gettting my water in will help. We came in second place in a twisting contest!! yay they gave us t-shirts, but only a large(DH and I both wear 2x) so we gave the t-shirts to my brother and sisiter.
Welcome Ruthie!!! I am sorry to hear that you are having a rough time. I know it is hard, but I really think you should take carly's suggestion. it will help. But most of all do not drop out. I know it is hard, but it will be better for your whole family if you cvan finish school. I still have to go back, and it took DH 10 yrs to finish his degree. If you need to vent we are always here!! I have to run, but I hope you ladies have a great day!!!
Geez, Ellen, you sound too peppy for me right now. While you've been relaxing yourself in the sun, I've been slamming my head off the table trying to figure out my homework. Sounds like you had an awesome time. Someday I would love to take a cruise.
Ellen,,, I am so glad you had such a good time... I so would love to go on a vacation.. but oh well... I am taking a mini trip to maine this weekend so that will be nice... I decided i needed to get my mind back into the Maine move thing.. I have been kinda bummed out lately because of craziness around here and the house not selling you know how it goes... so i decide we are going to go and look at houses in maine next weekend... let me tell ya I cant wait.. I know i cant buy yet until my house sells but i think if we go and do this it will make it feel more tangable to us... anyways,,, the eating this weekend went right out the window... not to much water either.. the weekends are so hard for me... but hey i just keep plugging along... it will stick one of these days..
Chris... I am sorry about your sisters child.. I hope things get better soon..
dont beat yourself up because you slacked a tiny bit... you will get right back on the right track you always do.. I think we all get into these slumps and just need to do whatever we do.. but at least we know enough not to stay there.. so I know today you will get all your water intake and you will be eating every healthy thing you can get your hands on...
Ruth.. I hope all is well with you...
well have a great on track day ladies,,, remember we are all doing this together so lets kick some butt...
Doing pretty good this morning. I had peanut butter toast and I have started my water. I am down 1/2 lb, so I know it will all just melt away. I plan on taking it easier today, still kinda worn out from the trip, but i have to take the kids to the eye dr and I am cleaning up a bit. I still have to unpack, but I am slowly going through everything. I will aim to do 1hr with the hula hoop today, and get my exercise tape back in the routine by Wednesday.
Chris~I am sorry to hear about your sister's kids. I know that there are some pretty nasty bugs going around right now.
Carly~I kmow weekends are hard, but sometimes you just need them. I am looking forward to hear how your "house hunting" went. Just don't wear yourself down.
Ruthie~Looking forward to getting to know you post soon!!!
I am so ashamed...I snuck some candy today. But I went to the gym tonight and workout for an hour or so. I didn't overdo it at dinner either. I think that will offset some of my candy blunder today.
Conner is feeling better. Still wheezing and labored breathing but alot more lively than he was before. I think my sister would like to nail his little feet down to the floor but he has to make up for all that lost time ya know... On the downside of it, my oldest daughter is in his boat now. She's had asthma since she was 6 and now she's got the sam virus and she is looking awful. She's running a fever, is dizzy, can't eat, and is wheezing a bit. Not as bad as him, but she's been taking an inhaler with steriods for a couple months now, so she won't get it nearly as bad as him. I'm watching her though.
Carly, we all have our bad weekends. I know I do. That's when I seem to screw up alot too. It's like all the control we have over our lives goes out the window and things just get to hectic and chaotic on the weekends. Just
jump right back on that healthy lifestyle track. I'm struggling right along with you. We can do this, sunshine!!!!
Ellen, see I bet you were just retaining some water. I bet that weight slides right back off. BTW, do ya have any snow around your house? We're supposed to get hit with some. Woo Hoo! I like snow.
OKay...bathtime. I got my sister's kids tomorrow and so I'm going to decompress before tomorrow. Check back in the am.
well let me tell ya... yesterday i was doing so good.. until supper time.. and i think i ate just about every thing in this house.. not sure what that was all about but hey i will get there.. I did drink my water so that was a good thing..
Chris.. sorry to hear your daughter is ill... I hope it doesnt last long.. I hate it when the kids are ill.. we got the snow sunday...I dont mind the snow... my hubby loves the stuff... I am not that excited about it...
my daughter was happy they cancelled school... but today is getting things back to normal..
Ellen... that 5 lbs will be history before you know it.. just keep on doing what ever it is you are doing...
well i need to go... have to get motivated .... have a wonderful day and stay on plan..
Chris~There is no snow here yet, but it has been coming down occasionally for the last three days. But it has been too warm for the last 2months that none of it is sticking. I really don't like having to be out in it, but if I dan't have to go anywhere, than I don't mind it. I hope your daughter feels better soon.
Carly~I lost it yesterday at dinner too, but I mainly binged on veggies, so I don't think that will hurt too bad. I did get some twizzlers for the kids, and of course I had to have some. But I did get my water in, so that is a start.
I hope everyone had a great day yesterday... mine was ok.. but I didnt drink all my water and hubby bought me chocolates and of course i couldnt say no..
so we begin again... well keep your fingers crossed that today will be a good day... I really could use one...
have great day ladies,... stay on track... and drink all your water....
Did pretty well yesterday until dinner. I ened up eating two(small) plates of spagetti and then finished DD's plate as well. ANd DH brought home turtles, so I had a couple of those too. BUt I did get my water in, not I have to figure out a way to get my exercise back in. I am having a hard time with my mattress, so I wake up feeling worse than when I went to bed. We will see what can be done.
Well ladies have a great day and don't forget your water!!
Hey welcome Losingitin06. Glad to have ya. My name is Chris. Sahm of 3 daughters....12, 6, and 3.
Yah, yah, yah...we are having a great week here. Now Nicole is wheezing, running a fever, etc. Tiana is still home, running a fever, and not doing anything but laying down. Poor honeys. We're all treking over to my sister's house later today. Her little boy still needs the nebulizer and now Nicole needs it too, so we're all gonna sit around her house and pass around the albuterol, instead of driving back and forth. Her middle son is sick now too. He's got the same symptoms as Tiana and Nicole. Lovely isn't it.
I did manage to get to the gym last night. We did 25 min. on the treadmill and 45 of weights. Jen needed a break and the gym was so quiet with everyone doing something for Valentine's day. My sweetie got me a dozen pink roses....and a card. He got the girls each a Valentine and then gave them $5 with it. Hmmm...where's my money??? J/k
Gotta go pick up my house and do some homework and then pack up the sickies and lounge at my sister's house. Check back in a while.
Going crazy.
Sounds like you had an awesome time. Someday I would love to take a cruise.
