Default It's Friday (Yeah ha)

good morning ladies
Sorry didn't post yesterday. Busy morning, and at work, it's hard to get on, well not a good thing, since I exercise durning my lunch.

Eleni- Great job on the loss. I knew you could do it. You are so right about keeping track. We have a saying at our Tops group, If you eat it, you can write it. Helps those that want to stay focus, somewhat focused. I have a problem, not doing it that day though. Like last night,food was so much in my mind. I was aware of what I was eating, and so was the hubby, but I didn't write it. I'm bloated now because of it.

Susie-hope you feel better today. Great job on doing your daily goals.
I was able to get my water in yesterday. When I'm at work, it's hard to get it in.

Kim-put a time limit on the computer thing, and then do you watp tapes. Or, don't let yourself get on it, till you do it. That works for me on the weekend. Another thing I found on the weekend, if I want to get the watp done, it has to be before all crew members here are even up, or I lose control of the tv. Want a dvd player for our room, so i can go in there anytime. (I keep telling you all that, and haven't done it yet)

Sherri-It will work out, what is to be will be. But you gotta pray about it girl. Sometimes we want things a way, and we think they are the best, but God sees things a little different. Trust in him, and it wil work out to what he wants.

Summer-So right about the house thing. When I read what you wrote, that was the 3 time in 2 days that I heard that. you think maybe God is trying to tell me something. I like sherri-want things to be what I want, but I have to trust him. He knows our needs and desires, and wants, and he will help us out. Trust in him, right. But I'm still nervous and yes a little scared. Probably cuz we don't have an amount yet. Oh, by the way, the one house that I do want to see, and want really bad doesn't have a sold on it yet, so maybe it won't go through. Plus our realitor also told us about another house that just went on the market. Sounds really good except the price is higher than what I want. Not sure how much the lady is willing to go down on it. We get to see it on Tuesday. The other bad thing about it is we will be doing a lot of back tracking taking the kids to school and daycare. I know hubby already doesn't like that. I'm believing in God.

We are having grilled cheese, and tomato soup at work today. A Thank you for the girl that helped while I was out, and she basically only eats grilled cheese. I have some salad at work, and will be eating that, along with the other stuff. I thought about getting a cheese cake for everyone, but not sure on that either. sorta a thank you from me to everyone else. See how much time I have this morning, after getting the kids out the door. I hear that she didn't do much while she was in my area. But that's not for me to . I know everyone was glad to see me back.
I'm trying to deceide if I want to work tomorrow or not. We have the work. Gotta go

Well, the scales weren't kind to me last night I really thought I was going to be down, but I gained .75 lbs. I know it's not a lot, but I really wanted them to go down. I think maybe my IC flare had something to do with it. Because I really felt like I had lost. Oh, well. I'll get it next week.

I'm feeling better today. I was able to stay calm during the day. (A lot of prayer helped!) I try to be positive about this disease that I have. I know a lot of other women who live in pain with it everyday. And I'm a lot better than I was last Jan. It's just that when those days come, it really gets me down. I think it's because I have to manage it everyday. I take a lot of meds for it, and I've had to change a lot of my lifestyle to be able to function with it. But I keep praying and I keep doing the things that I know help me to feel better. I can't just give up!


On a positive note, I went to my Accounting class last night and I'm sort of excited about it. Numbers and math scare me..so it's going to be good to learn the therory's behind Accounting and I've learned in life that when you confront something it's not so scary anymore. I'm really trying to overcome things in my life that intemidate me and hold me back.

My professor seems to be a really understand and kind person. I think I'll learn a lot.
Eleni: Congrats on the weight loss. You are proof that journaling our food works!

Amy: Congrats to you too on your weight loss! It feels so good when those scales show your efforts!

Wendy: Good job on getting your water in. You've survived your first week back at work and you have done so well!

Penny: It's good to see that you are safe. Have you had much damage?

My goal for today is to get some things orginized. I'm not really busy today, so I've got some files to clean out and other things to just go through.

I'll try to check in later.

Hello , Just stopping by for a minute. I drove to doctors today to get my blood checked.First time I have driven in 6 weeks. Will only drive short distances and only when hubby can't take me. But it was nice to take myself. Of course my belt extender and handicapp sticker was in Bills van. My blood is right where they want it. Bill hasn't been doing real good himself so I fixed him up.I got him scheduled for a stress test. He isn't thrilled but he knows he needs it. I should be finished with my procedure by then and can take care of him. We just have all kinds of people with problems lately. But like I told my daughter Angel we are survivors.
Sherri, You will be fine.You know what you need to do. Things will eventually work out.

Just a quickie to let you know that I got my 2 mile of walking and biking in Wed. Thursday was too much of a zoo and today is mentally exhausting. I'm suppose to be packing us up to go to other house for the weekend, but I'm not sure if I want to put up with dh and oldest dd's crap this weekend. Sunday is our 23rd Anniversary, but I sure don't feel like celebrating anything. I can't handle other people's irresponsibilities that always get thrown on and back at me. If I'm here this weekend I will post....if not I'll see ya all next week. Congrats to all our losers....and everyone that keeps trying. Sherri, like Eleni said, you know what you need to do and remember that God helps those that help themselves.

Hugs, Summer
