Hey Meg! Wow...you are up late...or maybe it isn't that late where you are at. Thanks...I will check out the vitamin. I am going for for counseling on Tuesday, so my sleeping habbits...or lack of...is going to be someting we'll discuss. I'm not sure if I want to move to a sleeping med, but maybe i'd feel better with a vitamin.

We are having a horrific thunderstorm here so I brought the animals downstairs so dh could sleep a couple more hours (he has to get up at 5 AM for work but he does get off at 3 so everything works out in the end!) We have a Yorkie and a big fat tabby cat and they both sleep with us and the weather was making them ansty. I think they may have snuck back upstairs now that it has calmed down though!

Anyway, just a tip about sleep meds. I had a dr years ago tell me that Benadryl taken at bedtime is a great sleep aid, has no side effects nor buildup in the body. It can be taken by anyone and everyday if needed. It is an antihistamine, but does no harm to the body at all. I always keep a bottle on hand on those menopause nights where I have insomnia....(something for all you young women to look forward to I might add! :lol: ) I reccommend it highly as I have taken it for years.

I am so glad your thread is nice and full again! You gals have a wonderful day!

Colaz - I think that I sent that just after I got to work - we must be about 12 hours ahead of the states. I thing the East Coast starts waking up when we're on our way home from work!! Another dull day here with no work, although it will prob all change next week - my pet engineer gets back to work and I'm sure he'll have stuff for me to do!! Yay!!

Maybe also try to get hold of a book by Patrick Holford called the Optimal Nutrition Bible. It is an enlitening read and his stuff is VERY well researched. I've also been back on Co-enzyme Q10 and think that it has helped my motivation for diet and exercise.

Must go, lunch is calling - rice, stir fried chicken and veg and sauce. Will be back next week.

Mwah

TGIF!!!!

I hope everyone is doing well today, I am excited it is Friday. Colaz, good luck on your teacher training. I have some advice for you, before you start teaching, read the book "Assertive Discipline" By Lee Canter and anything else by him you can find. Most new teachers find that their biggest source of stress and frustration is classroom discipline.

Yesterday my pants were really loose whoo hoo. Tried to get in the size 10's but they still don't fit in the waist.

See everyone soon.

Tgif!
 

Hi guys,

Yes, thankfully I made it to dinner. We had spaghetti with homemade meatballs. Yummy!

Doing pretty good this morning, other than a fight I got into with my boyfriend. It wasn't pretty at all. I'm not feeling too good about that this morning, we have alot of issues and it's frustrating sometimes. I wish relationships were easier.

Anyway, enough about that. I'm going to do the gym today. Going to try for the treadmill and exercise bike. Wish me luck.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I won't be back online until Tuesday.

Take care.

Lisa ;)

Tgif Indeed!
 

GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFUL LADIES!!!!!!!!!

I am doing much better today. It's going to be 72 degrees here in my part of VA and on such a lovely day, it's hard to be down - so I won't be! LOL I am also sitting here in my jeans at work (God bless casual Fridays!!!!!) and eating my packet of oatmeal, getting ready to have the last of my egg/meat/cheese wraps. I also brought an apple with me to work and will be eating that with some RF peanut butter as a snack. YUM! :eating2:

My BF Mike comes home today! He works for the same company as me but in a different department and he travels alot - but for this trip, he is able to come home on weekends - YAY!!!!

I am hoping the bossman lets me out early so that I can get some walking in this afternoon - but the BF and me are going walking tomorrow morning anyway.

I need to read some of the latest posts so I can put in my $.02 ;) but for now, I need to do some work! I'll be in and out of here, so I hope everyone has a great day!!!!!!!!

:cb: LOL

FRIDAY! Need PMS tips.
 

Well it's Friday, the 13th and cold and windy outside. But I"m trying to stay positive. Yesterday I did pretty good, I walked my mile and ate very little, due to very busy day - if only every day could be that busy I wouldn't have time to eat! However I'm feeling fat today. How is that possible? Probably because I'm PMSing. That is the worst time of the month. You feel fat and bloated no matter what you do. Any tips? I'm drinking water water water. Just looking at that little carrott makes me feel better. I need to get that on my desktop!!:carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

i joined weight watchers online last night. we'll see if it helps out at all. i didn't want to do the meetings version because with hubby overseas, it's too hard for me to get away from the girls. i get one break a week. usually saturday's i send them to the sitters for the night. besides, i have this place if i need the support :)

SUE67 - a heating pad, Pamprin/Midol, and plenty of water get me by during my TOM....:^:

Good afternoon ladies! I didn't wake up too long ago (around 11:30). Nothing to do today except I have my independent study with a professor (she is working with me on my spelling and grammar), and at 4:00 my friends and I are doing our every Friday thing. We go to the YMCA at 4:00 and work out until like 5:00, then at 5:00 we go to the pool/hottub/Steam room. Great time! :)

Meg, where are you from again? LOL, and I hoped you were another night owl. Dang...lol jk. That books sounds interesting. What's in it exactly? Just researched facts regarding nutrition or God? Need to check it out either way I think.

Leslie, I will write down the name on that book. We actually just watched a 'first day of class' video in a class last semester. He is amazing! I think I am thinking of the same guy...maybe not. Really funny, and I think he is Asian (I'm not sure if I am spelling that right)? WHOHOO! Congrats on the loose pants! I bet that is a great feeling!

Lisa, sorry that you had a fight with your bf! :( How long have you two been together? I would say gl at the gym, but I feel like saying Kick Butt at the gym today! :) lol

Diva, you sound so happy about bf coming home! Awww! That is nice that you get to see him at least during the weekends. How long have you two been together? Sounds like you have a nice weekend planned.

Fran, I bet you are loving having the house just for you and your daughter/son (sorry not such which). Have a wonderful weekend!

Diane, ug...shouldn't be skipping meals! lol...I know you didn't mean to. So, how did the doctors go? Sounds like you made it through!

Sue, when I'm feeling especially crappy during AF I love getting a good book and taking a long hot bath! Just make sure to drink plenty of water...that seems to help me! I understand what you mean by days you just feel fat! You'll get through this! :)

Jas, you are so right that you have this place for support! CONGRATS on joining WW though! Did you plan on doing this, or did it just happen? So, you are doing this all online??? Cool!

Ok...while I'm thinking of it (and I'm going to Diane's thread too) but HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAZ! WHOHOOO! WHERE IS THE CAKE? LOL...just like Diane, eat all you want on your b-day! One of the great things in life! lol

Wendy, you weren't last to post! HA ha! lol. I was up late lastnight :) WTG on 139! I'm only still dreaming of the 140s, and the 130s seems out of the picture for me...for now! Congrats! You deserve it!
