Sherri,
Brutually and harshly LOL, you have opened my eyes. I am have been on plan 100 percent like I should have been. and 50 percent don't cut it!

I have decided this morning that I am never going to get anywhere by just saying I am on plan and not acting on it!

I am going to drop Hunter off at school
I will check back in later and I hope you are having a great day ON PLAN 100% DAY!

Good Morning Everyone,

I am in Virginia, visiting my brother and SIL. We came up a few days early to visit with them before going on to Fredericksburg to see my sisters. One sister is celebrating her 40th wedding anniversary, and the other sister is recovering from a stroke. The weather is beautiful here, but there is a little nip in the breeze.

Eleni....I'm looking forward to seeing you when you go on stage as a leader and Daytona will be a good place to do it. Maybe you will consider going in the before and after parade when you meet the goal that you have set. I had a small loss at TOPS Friday and I'm hoping to maintain it while away. I am setting a much smaller goal for myself. I'm just going to try to end the month in the black each month. I haven't done well this first quarter, either.

Sherri....I agree with Eleni. Don't let what your mother said upset you. Sometimes mom's say things without thinking. And you are right in thinking about your health first. Don't worry about the housework.

Well, I gotta go. DH is ready to go into town and to see his Aunt. I'll check back in when I can.

Nita

Nita!

It sounds like you are having a great time!

Eleni,

You and everyone are right about what my mom said. I do feel better today and I am making sure I don't forget my medicine. Today is the first day that I have felt more energenic and not depressed. I am on a cleaning frenzy since my mom told me about my house. I am going through things and throwing things out. Of course I can only do a very little at a time. Are you happy you got your picture lady.LOL Told you I was huge.LOL It will be great when you finally do walk across that stage I can see you now. Next year is a good goal. You accomplished a lot of goals this year even if it wasn't the weight one. Look how many accomplishments you have succeeded in with all the classes you are taking and things. You are doing great keep up the great work.

Penny,

Glad to see that you are doing well you sound much better. I am back to eating smaller meals throughout the day like I should be and that is helping with the sugar as well. Keep up the great work you can do this.

Nita,

Have a great time in Virgina. I used to live there for a year just outside of DC. I was a nanny for 2 different families down there. I loved the job but came home for my husband I have now. Should have stayed things might have worked out different but we can't go back only forward and I have decided to start making me happy. That is why I have decided that after the baby is born I am going to work very hard on my weight and get it off once and for all. I will be able to workout and do better. Not that it will be easy but I will be committed and it is something I want so badly for me and it will help my self esteem to thrive for another goal after I meet that one.

Snoopy,

How are you doing? Did you have a good weekend?

As for me I am doing well. My cousin called me last night and she is bringing the crib over saturday. I can't wait to get it set up and the room organized with the furniture in there once and for all. Not sure how I am going to put the 2 cribs but it will be easier to figure out once I have the other one. She is going to help me set it up and she is going to put the sheets and bedding on for me because my belly is too big to do it.LOL
I took care of the clean house thing. I am hiring my friends MIL to come in on fridays for 2 hours a week to do the deep cleaning for me. My house is very small so it shouldn't take more then 2 hours. She is going to start in about a month. I figured I can't do it now or when I have the C section and when I get back to work I will be too busy with the kids to be able to get it done. I love having a clean house and normally it is clean but with the preg it is impossible. My mother wanted to do the floors after she insulted me but I was so insulted I just wanted her to go. I said well I can't do them and my house isn't big enough for everything I need a bigger house. Can't afford that so we make due with what we have.
We are going to get a new carpet for the dining room. Right now we have an 8x9 or so rug under the table with the tile underneath and 2 pcs of rug of a different color next to that to catch the dirt that comes in from the door. It will look nicer with a new rug that covers all the floor and not parts. Then I just have to vaccum. But the bad part is that when we flood it will just get ruined but oh well.
Well I am going to go for now will check in later.

Have a great day.

Sherri
