Hi all...at work and gotta hurry to get this posted;) Just wanted to say, NO, I didnt lose this week either. I'm really disappointed but even more determined to LOSE this next week! Emjay, we gotta get back in the groove girl...we were on our way!

Better run and at least look busy! ha
Miki

Miki,

I am sad that you didn't lose, but misery does love company. We are both going to lose next week even if it is only a pound. My challenge for myself is to absolutely make sure I excercise every day (it's the only way for me). I did 2-mile watp today. Ok, here is to a better week.

emjay

Hello Gals. How is everyone's day going? Mine's okay, I am not feeling all that good though, I have a sinus infection... which just plain sucks. :cry: So I am all tired and stuff too. I didn't do any type of exercising yesterday, but I will try my hardest tonight when I get home from work. It kind of sucks because I don't get home until 9:30 pm and now I am even more tired from being sick. Anyways some good news - my boyfriend comes home on FRIDAY!! Yay!! :cb: I can't wait to see him. Then yesterday he told me that he gets another 10 days leave on January 11th!! So he comes home this Friday - the 16th and leaves on January 2nd -- and then comes home again on the 11th!! I am so excited that I get to spend even more time with him!! :love:

Anyways maybe I will just do the 2 mile WATP dvd tonight... and not the elliptical and the bike. I really want to but I just don't think I feel up to it. Well I hope all is well with everyone and I will talk to you guys later! :moped:

Just quick post again tonight...still got tons of stuff to do before bedtime. Allison Hooray for you that your b/friend is coming home soon! I know it's really hard being away from him for such long stretches.

Emjay, I'm going to try hard to lose this week, but to be honest, I am feeling pretty discouraged today, kinda like I'm losing steam. I need some major motivation! (or maybe another cyber kick lol) I'm off this Thurs and Fri and then again next Wed thru the next Tuesday. Hopefully that'll give me time to rest up some plus to get rid of some stress that work causes at times. Just been feeling a little overwhelmed lately with work, holidays, trying to change eating habits, adding exercise, etc etc etc. Anyone else get in this rut?:?:

Anyway, might be in a slight slump, but I REFUSE to give up.:D I'll be back tomorrow.

Miki

Well girls this is a hard time to lose for me I am trying to maintain more than anything at this point. But maybe with all the busy work and running around I will lose? Now that would be great but we'll see. I haven't done the scale thing lately but have been checking the way my clothes fit, rings etc. I think things are going okay. At least for today I can say that. I have been baking but try my best to package it away pretty quickly. That way less temptation. I have attended quite a few parties and thats tough. At the office so far I can say no one has really brought much in. The girls are after me to bring in goodies but I am not til next week. I have been trying to at least be good with breakfast and lunch times. If I can eat healthy with those two meals it makes a difference. Yesterday I was able to stay with in 1450 calories. The goal for the day was 1400 to make up for the extras the day before. But at least I came in close. I am also making sure I use the stair case at work instead of the elevator and walk a bit quicker. My friends always mock me about how quickly I walk but it helps. Have a great day and don't get discouraged every little change can make a difference. My down fall in the past is that if I over eat is to do it for the whole day or two. Now thats not good!

Good Morning :)

Sounds like all of us are a little stressed these days, whether from work, from baking and shopping for holidays, from family situations, etc. Let's try to keep focused and not let these things cause us to lose sight of our goals and overeat, which of course causes MORE stress once it's done. I know with me, immediately following a binge or giving in to something I know I dont need, I always regret doing it. Then, I'm discouraged and mad at myself. Seems that stopping on the front end would save us some misery huh? ha.

Carol, my co-workers mock me too. I walk fast also and not just because it helps, but I am usually trying to do 3 things at once so I have to walk fast. :dizzy:

Erricah, come here and vent anytime you need to! It's a great stress reliever.:hug: Hope you have a good day today.

Emjay, thanks for the sympathy....if I couldnt lose this week, at least we didnt lose together...you're right...makes us both feel a little better..haha. We're gonna make it this time tho, I just know it.

Well, once again running late for work. Gotta get off here.
Have a good day, all.

MIKI

Oh Happy Day Oh Happy Day Oh Happy Day
 

Hey Everyone,

This week is going very well. I am not allowing myself to become stressed out. I am at work and gotta type fast. I weighed myself at work today and I lost FOUR pounds!!! HOORAY!!!! HOORAY!!!! I was expecting the scale to go higher. I try to cook dinner every night but some nights I just don't feel like it.
I haven't been eating take out or fast food for dinner. I do buy from the cafeteria and watch what I purchase. If this keeps up then I will lose even more weight. I also began taking the light rail to work instead of driving. Now I have to walk to and from the train station which is approximately 7 to 10 minutes. Now that winter has set in, it is very cold outside and I walk very fast. I wear scrubs & sneakers to work. The scrub material is very very lightweight. I wore my long johns today and it made a big difference. I am not trying to be cute and sexy in the winter (unless I am going to a function). I need to stay warm. I am seriously contemplating moving to another part of the country where it is not too hot and definitely not too cold. I hate winter.

Congratulations Allison --- I know that you are thrilled that your boyfriend is coming home.

Hey everyone,
I would like to join you on this journey of healthy eating and exercise.
I have been looking and reading for like 2 wks. trying to find a thread
that's feels right and comfortable. I think you girls are it. I too once belonged
to a group on another site about 1 yr. ago and they just drop out 1 by 1 and
now the ones I knew are gone so I was in search of a new group. I've really
enjoyed go back and reading all your post here and getting to know a little
about all of you.

A little about me: I'm a southern girl, from S.C. I'm 45. Married to my high
school sweetheart for 28yrs. now and I have one son that's 23. I lost about
83 pounds 10 yrs. ago but have gained most of that back and would really
like some support to get healthy and fit again.

Hope I can be a friend to you all.
Have a great day,
Rivergal

Welcom Rivergal, Wow another person who has lost all their weight at least once in their lives! Well I hope that together we can all make it stick this time. Congratulations on the 10 lbs. you have lost. What have you been doing diet and excercise wise? Always looking for new ideas...

Erricah, Congratulations on the weight loss. Wow, 4 lbs. that is great. And I bet the extra walking everyday is really going to pay off too. Good for you, keep it up.

Miki, I feel like I am slowly getting back on track. Yippee!!! We must not get down on ourselves though, we were only going to maintain this holiday season remember? I am convinced we will do better this week.

Allison, That is awesome that your boyfriend gets a nice break to be home. We probably won't hear from you much during that time, ha ha. Well I hope you have a wonderful visit. Hey, did you get the resistance belt w/ your watp set? If so do you like it? Right now I am just using 2.5 lbs. weights in each hand to do the resistance (seems to work well). But I was curious if the belt would be worth sending away for. Thanks.

Carol, Wow, sounds like you are doing pretty darn good w/ the calorie intake. I would think you should be losing at less than 1500 a day. Good for you for holding off on the goodies at work. That was always a huge temptation for me, I could never seem to say no to them at work. Keep up the good work.

Well I had a pretty good day eating wise today. And I did my 2-mile watp as well. I went down to the basement and dug up my old aerobic stair and plan on doing a step aerobic tape tomorrow. I think I need a little variety.

Hope to hear from everyone soon...

MJ

Hi ladies!

Welcome, Rivergal! The more the merrier, so just jump right in! We have a great group going here and we're happy you want to join us. :)

Erricah, 4 lbs is AWESOME! And you thought you had gained....what a pleasant surprise, huh?

Emjay, I think I'm getting out of my slump too and feeling motivated again. I had a grilled chicken wrap and diet coke for lunch, an apple for breakfast and tonight I made a skillet of stir fry veggies with a couple pieces of chicken breast mixed in. Before I ate, I did 30 min on my AirWalker. Just now, about 2 hrs after supper, I did 30 more:carrot:

I'm off tomorrow and Friday and I plan to shop all day tomorrow. That will be exercise in itself, but I am going to try to do more AirWalker before I head out in the morning. Hopefully I'll do ok with my eating at the mall.

I need to go pay some bills online so I'll know what I can spend tomorrow;) Better get that done...almost bedtime around here.

Miki

can i join in?
 

:wave: hi yall from texas. i am 34 and needing to lose 60 to 70 lbs. dont have much time to give my entire story tonight but will return tomorrow night to inform yall of my situation.

whatcha think? can i join this support group?

Hello all! I've been missing for a couple of days :)

Actually, hiding is more like it, lol. This week I need one big huge cyberkick. I've become overwhelmed too Miki. The Christmas rush is starting to get at me. We ordered pizza last night...yup I ate more than I should have. I figured I would take it easy on lunch today...but forgot I had to go to a luncheon, so ended up eating a submarine sandwich (no, it wasn't turkey, lol)...then tonight we were so tired out from shopping we at in the food fair.

To sum it all up, I feel tired, no energy, and bloated from eating bad. I'm pretty darn sure I put that 2lbs. back on...but I'll wait until Saturday to confirm it for sure. I deserve it I guess, but I have kept on my 1 hour of walking.

It will be challenging again next week. 22nd is dh b-day (taking him out to fancy steakhouse), 23rd is big family gathering (will be easier to control at this one), 24th is smaller family gathering, 25th is dh's family gathering.

So....I have to try harder!!!!

Welcome to Emily & Rivergal. We are always glad to see newbies join us in the battle. Looking forward to getting to know you both.

Erricah...4lbs...WAY TO GO! A dancing carrot for you! :carrot: Be very proud that you aren't giving in to the stress...I will use you for inspiration (hope you don't mind).

Carol, good job on the calorie count. I will try to use you as an example too, lol.

Allison, happy to hear your bf will be coming home soon. Hope you guys have a lot of fun together!

Emjay & Miki...I will try to get my groove back on too!

Oh...that's all the updating I can do for now. I'm going out of town this weekend, so I want my place looking clean and shiny before I go. Talk to you all tomorrow!

Well its getting pretty close to christmas and lots of goodies are around. Last night we built our gingerbread house with lots of candy. Can't say some didn't slip into the mouth. Then there were a few potatoe chips too. But overall not to bad of a day. Good breakfast ,lunch and dinner was scrambled eggs. I did have italian bread today a bit more than I should of. Too many carbs. all in all for this time of year not a horrible day. I feel good in my clothes not awful so something must be going right. It is probably all my running around.I will have in 34 hrs. already this week at work so I am going to take a few vacation hours and take friday off. The weather is suppose to get bad later on. Well gotta fly try and be good its tough at this time of year! But every bit of effort in good choices helps balance some of the others.

Cold Rainy Day!
 

:rain: It's been raining and freezing rain all night here. Everything is iced over today. and it's so dark and dreary. But warm and cozy inside. Good day for reading. Anyone else love to read?

Emjay, I've been more or less doing the 3 hr. diet and 8 minutes in the morning. I really like it, I can eat this way. You eat every 3 hrs. to keep your motabolism going. It really makes sense to me. Anyway, at meals you have
1 serving of protein, 1 serving of carbs, and the rest of the plate with fruits and veggies. and 1 serving of fat. then inbetween meals you have a 100 cal.
snack to keep you eating every 3 hrs. No foods are off limits. I have fruits for breakfast with a protein and carb and then veggies with the other meals. It's a balance diet and easy to do. I like the 100 cal. snack pack cookies they have now. IT makes it easy to allows have a snack handy. And I love the little Debbie marshmellow treats. By the way if you're over 200lbs, your snack can be 200cal. till your weight goes below 200. The 8 min. in the morning is I work out 2 muscle groups every morning using dumbbells. It takes very little time. I want to keep doing this and add more exercise to it. Got to get back on that bike and treadmill that's just sitting there.

Miki, Hope your shopping days are fun. All my family is going on Friday. Hope this weather is much better by tomorrow.

Allison, your BF is coming home on my Birthday, Jan.11th. special day!

Errica, this is for you: :cheer: 4 pounds is GREAT!!
By the way My future daughter in law's name is Erica.

Eating has been pretty good so far today. I'm just trying to maintain during the holidays cause I know there's too many Christmas goodies to say no to. but I plan to exercise and burn the calories as I go to keep the balance.

Then after the holidays, Girls it's: :smoking: No!!! That's not it!!! LOL.
Just kidding. It's: :strong: :ebike: :wl: :barbell: :dancer:
and then: :goodscale :cp:

Ok, enough silliness,
Everybody have a wonderful day,
Rivergal

Hi Everyone!! :D How are you gals doing?? I'm doing good... getting really excited to see my boyfriend in 1 day!! :welcome3: to the group Rivergal!

Anyways - we got a HUGE stowstorm last night.. so that was really a lot of fun to drive home in. ugh.. :spin: I have been doing pretty good lately on not snacking as much. I have also lost 3 pounds!!! I went to the DR. like 2 days ago.. it was pretty exciting! :carrot: I guess exercising really does work.

Emjay- You're right - I probably won't be online much in the next couple days since my boyfriend is coming home :D I will still try to check in though. I really do like the resistance band. It really works your muscles hard! I really like it. If you are using weights though.. I think it's pretty much the same thing. It is a really good tool though.

Miki- I am going shopping tomorrow too ( I have off on Fridays) so I can get the rest of my christmas shopping done. That should be some good exercise.

WW- Don't worry too much about having a bad week. Just jump right back on like we always say! I think we will all do better after the holidays are over.. it's just so much temptation with all the goodies , and plus a lot of added stress. It's hard to find time to exercise too.. oh geez. :stress:

Well I better go do some work. I will probably check back on later tonight. Talk to ya'll later! :comp:

Well I finally did it and dug the aerobic stair out of the basement. And I did a Susan Powter Lean Strong and Healthy tape that I have had for years and haven't done in years. Wow, that was a hellaworkout! I forgot how intense the stair could be. Well anyways I will probably only do that one a few times a week until I get a little more conditioned. Probably back to the 2-mile watp tomorrow. Eating was so so today, I have got to get these cookies out of my house. Sweets are my biggest temptation, I can take or leave chips and salty stuff.

Emily, Welcome to our group we are glad to have you. I am 34 also and have about the same amt. of weight to lose. I'm sure we have a lot more in common too, can't wait to hear your story. Talk to you soon.

Allison, Congrats on the weight loss. Good for you!

Well sounds like everyone else is busy getting ready for Christmas. Just remember to make time for yourselves in all the hustle and bustle. Talk to everyone soon...

MJ

Hello everyone.

Whew, what a busy day. But, I finally got my Christmas tree up tonight. I can't believe I left it so late this year. My dad wants me to come over and do up his tree too, don't know when I will find the time.

Thankfully, I have taken all next week off from work. I could really use the break during this busy time. Almost have my Christmas shopping done too.

Don't know if I will get the time to post tomorrow. I have to work until 9:00 at night, then get home & pack, and going away for the weekend. If I don't have time to post, then I hope you all have a nice weekend and I'll talk to you all on Monday!

Bye for now!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR:mad: I just typed a big long post to catch up after missing days and when I hit "submit reply", it tells me I'm not signed in and cant reply. I do "back" and get back to my reply and it shows at the top that I am indeed signed in. I try again and get the same error message that I'm NOT signed in. This time my reply was gone!! Sooooo frustrating!!:(

Anyway, no time now to retype it all. I've missed everyone the last few days:hug: . I've just been extra busy and things have been hectic.

Emily, Wecome to our group.:) You're more than welcome to join us.

Weigh-In is tomorrow...honestly not sure how that's going to turn out. :?: I'll let ya'll know tomorrow night.

Gotta run for now
Miki

Miki,

That happens to me at least once a week on this site. But I never get my messages back. It is so frustrating! I had a mega busy weekend too, looks like everyone else did as well. I'm not feeling positive about my weigh in tomorrow. But I can't wait to hear how you did. I hope you did great. Talk to you soon.

Hi all,

Today is weigh in and I am down 1 pound. I couldn't be more happy. It must have been from the workouts cuz I didn't eat that well. But now I am motivated to keep going. Losing just 1 pound puts me in such a good state of mind. I didn't workout Sat. or Sun (too busy) but did 2-mile watp last night. And I think I'm gonna get off here right now and do the 3-mile. Thanks to all of you girls for the motivation that you have given me. I honestly know I would not have made it this far w/o you. And I know 4 lbs. isn't that far but for me it is because I know otherwise I would have had no support and no accountability and probably would have gained 4 (or more) lbs. over the holidays. So, thanks again.

MJ

Good after Ladies
 

Hey

Emjay I was thinking is it still ok if i hop aboard with you ladies?

If so I will just tell ya'll about me...
39
2 kids (9 and 6)
married (12years)
5' 11"
At this time I have been doing this for two mounths and I have lost:carrot: 13lbs :carrot: I had my weight day on Sunday and found 3 more lbs gone..I have been doing the happy dance every since.

I dont follow any real diet plan. I have my own little black book I keep all my days meals and workouts. I walk on my lunch break at work and I have a nightly workout I do before I take my bath.

I am from the south Ladies and love my :devil: fried foods.:devil:


My goal is to lose 50 lbs..I started at 242. I am at 229.


Thanks so much

Leigh

Leah,
Welcome, of course it is ok if you join us. Wow, it sounds like you are doing great so far. What kind of excercise have you been doing? I'm always looking for new ideas.

MJ

hi there
 

hello everyone,hope it's ok that i join in on this thread, a little about myself
i have been married for 17 yrs have a daughter that's 16 (ugh) and a son thats 13 yrs old i'm joining weight watchers tommrow i'm doing the felx plan hope it works..i've never tried ww before,and i have a workout room just never use much anymore i was doing 45 min a day and then i got depressed
and now i'm feeling better so i'm going to go for it well that all for now have a good day to all:carrot:

Hello all.

Back from my weekend away with the ladies. It went pretty well, and we had some fun. Then I stepped on the scale. Yup, I did gain back 2 lbs. It's okay though, I already cyberkicked myself, lol. I expected it, so it wasn't a big surprise. I'm not expecting to take anything off this week, too close to Christmas. So, my goal for this week is to maintain. Just to not gain any more will be good enough for me this week.

Emjay, way to go on the lb. lost, hard to do at this time of year.

Miki, sorry about the lost post, lol. I hate it when that happens (seems to happen on all message boards from time to time). Before I hit "submit reply" I always highlight my message and right click, select "copy". Then, if it goes into space, I can just open a new message & click "paste"...voila my message is pasted back in. Of course...I don't remember to do that 100% of the time, and the one time I forget will be the time I lose my message, lol.

Welcome to Leigh & Hoosierlady, looking forward to getting to know you. Hope I didn't miss any other newbies...it's been a few days since I last posted so I feel out of touch, lol.

I'm going to try to get some cycling in tonight to try and ward off the christmas treat evils.

Well, I have a ton of present wrapping to do, so I'll catch up with you all tomorrow. Bye!

Thank you
 

I been walkin twice around the building where I work. I will start going 3 times around after Christmas holidays. I been doing part of the buns of steal work out at night I do not have time for the whole thing with the kids and all. I add a few things to it. I walk all day at work so really is like I am on wide open all the time. I feel like sometime I run from the time i get to work till i go home.


Once again thanks so much

Leigh

sorry about the typos

http://www.3fatchicks.com/weight-tra...2/190/229/.png

Hi all...It's 7 pm and I'm still at work so only got a second. As for my weigh-in Monday, I think it was a lb down, but honestly I couldnt see. .. the marker is so tiny and usually I get my husband to look for me. He had already left for work. I'm not going to count it for sure yet. Just going to wait until Monday again. Of course, Monday is after all the Christmas get-togethers all weekend so I'll TRY to maintain at least if not lose. I'm telling you, tho, the day after Christmas I am going back STRICT!! I've slacked off alittle on the exercise these days except for shopping. Well, better run. Gotta get finished here. After today, I'm off til next Tuesday...Whoohooo!!!:carrot:

oops
 

PS.....Welcome Hoosierlady and Leigh!!!:D

finally back
 

hi guys. i asked last week if i could join and i have so busy at work and with the holidays to check back with the site.

thanks for the warm welcome emjay71,mikiG,etc.

well here is a little about myself. i am 34 and needing to lose about 60 to 70 pounds. i have always had a weight problem my entire life and never really did get in shape until i was in my twenties. i eat and enjoy myself when every other aspect of my life is going well and when things are not so good in my life like work or problems in my marriage i don't eat and lose weight. i am tired of that. my marriage is the greatest it has ever been since we have handed it over to our Lord and Savior,but i don't physically feel good. my blood pressure is up dangerously and i miss the self confidence in looking good and feeling good. i feel like an embarressment to my husband and kids and the rest of my family. i have saved all my clothes from my skinny days and at work one day some friends and co-workers were mentioning my habit of keeping everything. a co-worker asked what sizes i had and when i mentioned from size 2 to 16,another co-worker point blank said to me that i would never get back down there again. i was shocked at the statement she said. was she right? i have to ask myself. but it was not her position to make such a statement.

i had a baby almost three years ago and can't seem to get this weight off. in just those three years of carrying around 204 pounds i have noticed how some people treat overweight people. i don't seem to get the service or smiles i did when i was weighing 130 lbs. i was very comfortable at 130 lbs but it took work to maintain that weight. it is worth fighting for though.

i use to work out all the time and enjoyed it. i want that feeling back.

after the holidays,i know it sounds a little cheesey,i do plan on taking my weight,health and respect for myself back into my hands and do something about it.

i have a full time job for the state of texas and on the side i am a photographer. i have been a photographer for about 2 years now,no schooling or training but hope to do so one day. i enjoy doing weddings(can be stressful at times) and other events. i meet some great people.

so how does this work? do yall weigh in once a week? please write back and thank you for the support i feel already.

Hi again everybody! Well, I finally got off work. Worked from 8 a.m. til 9 pm. today. It's 11:30 now. I'm tired but didnt want to come right home and head to bed. I like unwinding time first.

Emily, I know what you mean about how people treat you. I was really surprised when I lost down almost 60 lbs a couple years ago that the boys at the grocery store were more than happy to carry out my bags when prior to that, it was like I was invisible. I've had them walk right past and not even offer altho that was their job! As for our weigh-ins, most of us do weigh once a week but we dont all weigh on the same day necessarily. Monday is my day. I've just decided today that I am going to skip this next Monday and have my next official weigh-in on Monday, January 1. I'm addicted to the scale so it's going to be a challenge with my own self to resist weighing before then. I think that will be best because if I weigh and havent lost this next Monday, even though I'll have lots of holiday dinners, I'll get discouraged. I have to be reasonable and realize I know there will be things I eat over the holidays that I dont need but that doesnt mean I have to eat those days and the days after also. An occasional splurge is ok. It's not ok to splurge and then say, "Well, I blew it so might as well forget it and keep eating." I'm determined I wont get back into that mindset this next year.

I want to lose around 60 lbs also. I did it a couple of years ago but have gained half of it back. Since I hadnt reached my ultimate goal back then, I have the rest of it plus the 30 I regained to lose. Sickening to think I was within 30 lbs of my goal and gained 30 instead!:(

I was on blood pressure medicine when I started losing before and it wasnt long before I was able to quit taking it. Now even though I gained 30 back, I still havent had to start back on the medicine. Monthly prescriptions are costly so that's an incentive to me. Glad to hear your marriage is going well. I've been married 21 yrs and a year ago, we went through a really tough time. We made it though and I think we're doing better than ever now also.

WW, guess I'll skip the cyber kick since you took care of it yourself.:p :D

Leigh, that's a smart idea to walk around your building at work. Congrats on the 13 lbs you've already lost.

Hoosierlady, our kids are the same ages. I have 2 boys, ages 13 and 16. Luke will be 14 in January and Josh turned 16 this past October. Keep you busy dont they?

Emjay, happy to hear you achieved a loss this week.:) Think I can really not look at the scales for two weeks?lol

Rivergal, how was your day? Get all your baking done?

Well, it's midnight now. I think I better go get some sleep. It'll probably be Thursday before I have time to check back in. Talk to ya'll then!

Miki

Time to fess up
 

I didn'tdo my night workout last night:mad: I will have to be good today.

Me and my husband went shoppin last night and it was late when we got back. I only ate grill chicken sandwitch for supper last night. Its really going to be hard during the holidays.HELP ME STAY ON TRACK.....

I try to do this in small steps I just started walkin last week. I am lovein it too. I think it makes me sleep better at night. Now it time to do the next step.
I need to slow down on my most fav thing Mountain Dew. I love them...I am drinking about 2 a day. I want to cut back and stop all together. I am staying away from the chocolate all ready so this is the next step. Wish me luck on this. I will need all I can get

The Christmas season will be hard for me. Southerns Love this time of year

http://www.3fatchicks.com/weight-tra...2/190/229/.png

Well, this week I lost 7 pounds!!!! Increased my work-outs from 30 minutes to 45-60 minutes and watched what I ate. Ahhh...it feels soooo good. Anyway, this weekend is Christmas and am I worried? maybe just a bit but I know that I'll make good choices.

Hello! :)

Shawna, 7 lbs in a week is unbelievable! I'm jealous:p :D Way to go..I have no doubt at all that you'll do great thru Christmas. You've got some real motivation going on! Hope it rubs off on me!

Went shopping a little today and still have to go back tomorrow. Does it ever end? Guess by Sunday it will have to huh? There are a few people that I'm just stuck with no ideas for. I hate that. I dont like getting something just to get it..I like getting just the right thing. Somehow I've let time slip up and I"m down to the wire to get this done.

I have a decision I have to make soon concerning work. Kinda stressed out about it. I've been offered a new position that is more money and benefits etc than my position now (and lots more responsibility), but I LOVE where I am. I dont know if it's worth the money. What if I dont like it?:?: But what if I pass it up and I would have loved it just as much PLUS had more money?:dizzy: :?: I really dont know what to do and they wanted to know by Friday.

Well, think I'm going to take a short nap. Luke, my 13 yr old, has to have another Sleep Study done tonight at the hospital which means I have to stay there with him. They dont have the most comfortable sleeping arrangements for those who are not the patients. Last time, it wasnt even a cot so I could lay down. It was sorta like a recliner except it didnt really go back much, just the foot thing came up so you could at least stretch your legs out. Not looking forward to that

Talk to everyone again soon. Take care!

Hello Everyone!!! It's been 1 week since I last checked in. I had off from work Friday thru Monday but then I have been really sick so today (Thursday) was my first day back at work. I have bronchitis, so I havent really felt up to exercising, but I havent been eating much either. My boyfriend is home now too... I never realized how much I love having him around... I just love him so much, and I am going to be really sad when he has to go back for good. :( Well I just wanted to check in and say hi... talk to you all later! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!! :clause: :wreath: :tree: :candy: :snowball: :mrsclaus: :rudolph:
