Hi all,
managed to get 4 points yesterday! Will try again for today.

TTFN,
Julie

hello,

I am happy to report a 3 point day yesterday - a rest day from exercise, but most importantly I stayed OP for the first time in weeks! And it's not a one day wonder as I'm 100% OP today aswell! :carrot: I am feeling really positive about being back on my diet - I feel more committed and enthusiastic than I have done in months. I am remembering what it felt like this time last year when I was sticking to my plan and the weight was dropping off - and I intend to get that feeling back!:carrot:

FAYE -Talking of outdoor exercise, are you back in the pool yet?

CW - You can't mention a magic cream that eradicates PMS and then not tell me what it is........come on spill! I have actually found a herbal remedy based on pollen and vitamin E that has reduced my symptoms by about 60% - now I just eat for England and get a bit weepy and low, whereas before I was psychotic! The pills have also reduced my symptoms from 14 days to about 5 days so that is a big improvement! I am sorry to hear about your dil father - I also find it hard to understand how people chose to disappear, sometimes for years. There is a programme on TV called 'Missing' that follows the missing persons squad around - the families are always completely broken by it all and it's terribly sad. I know these people are usually very depressed or having a breakdown and can't cope at home, but I can't understand why they can't just get in touch to let them know they are okay if nothing else. I am glad that your dil's father has made contact - and I hope he fels better soon.

JULIE - Congrats on your 4 points!

CARRI, SUSAN, NIKKI - :wave:

See you later chicks,

Congratulations, Julie and Amanda! You are setting a great example for the rest of us to follow.

DH is having some gastro bleeding so they are doing an endoscopy today. He's finally off the narcotics so hopefully he will be doing a little better since he was having some side effects from them. Physical Therapist came and got him up and taking a few steps and then he insisted on sitting in the chair for nearly 3 hours. He's not eating much again and I asked his gastro md if he could be having a C-Def infection again. Since he's already had it twice with the same symptoms, it seemed likely. Dr. said it is very easy to catch in the hospital and he will test him for it. Meantime. DH just wants to go home.
