In Need of Support!
 

I have been dieting for the last 5 years. I lost sixty pounds and then gained 30 of it back. But it had a lot to do with life's stresses called work, family and financial problems. I belong to TOPS (weight loss support group) and that seems to help. But I guess I am looking for some more support. Here lately everytime my husband and I get into a disagreement about something he has to bring up my weight. I got very depressed for a couple months and stopped even trying to workout and eat healthy. Every once in a while I would eat healthy but didn't really care. I started working out again yesterday and have felt better about myself. Now if I can just get through this mind block that I have let myself get into and let my husband get me into I think I can succeed and lost weight. I was really woken up to my weight problem this morning when I had my 11 year old stepdaughter step on the scales this morning and she weighs 188. So I am going to have to step up to the plate and be a role model for her. Maybe that is the kick in the butt I need right now. I am just asking for a few internet buddies to help me through this tough time I am going through.
Thanks,
Kerry

That's pretty darn harsh to throw that in your face during an argument. Definitely not appropriate. But despite that, you can still get past it and lose the weight. If you ever want a kick in the booty, let me know!

My husband calls me fat when we fight too, only when he gets really mad. I know he does it to hurt me. I know how you feel

Thanks Winterstarzz I will definitely let you know. I look forward to becoming friends with you.
Looks like you are doing a great job on your weight loss journey. Keep up the good work! How did you lose your 29 pounds?
A little more about me. I am 34 years old. I am a special needs teacher to 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. I have been married to my husband for 3 1/2 years. I am a stepmom to twin boys who are 9 and an 11 year old girl. My goal is to be below 200 pounds before school starts back in the beginning of September. Plus in my spare time I sell Avon. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. Just need to find that balance again where I can socialize with people and not over indulge with eating junk and drinking either lots of beer or diet pop. I did it once when I started dieting and then hit several road blocks since then and let my mind play games with me. Not going to let that happen again.
My goals are to start eating healthier, watching my potion sizes better, drinking more water, unsweetened iced tea, and skim milk and working out atleast 30 to 60 minutes a day.
When I was posting regular on 3fatchicks I was losing the weight and feeling better about myself. So I guess I need to come back here for the support and guidance from others on a daily basis.

KAR73, glad to see you back again! :welcome3:

You can do it... you can avoid those high-calorie, sabotaging foods... you've done it before! And you can continue. :yes:

Jay

My marriage has definitely suffered because of my weight, as is evident just by the way my husband looks at me, and he also brings it up constantly. But you know what, I may be disappointed in him too if he had gained 100 lbs since we got married. I've finally decided to ignore it -- those are his issues, not mine. I did not intentially gain weight just to pi$$ him off!!

I actually find it easier to stay on track thinking of my kids and how this will help them as well. I have a son who is 7, a little overweight and I don't want to see him waste years of his life like I have. I've "recovered" from an eating disorder and am strugling but staying on track. I find exercising with me kids more enjoyable than the gym -- playing baseball, hiking, etc.

Good luck, you can and will do this -- your stepdaughter needs your support and I bet it will be easier for the two of you because you both understand the problems/struggles you will go through.

I thin being called fat is one of the worse thing u can hear especially when its what you think you are and you think everyone else is thinking the same.. I really hope you do well Kerry!

Thanks! I have done it by calorie counting and walking. Lots and lots of both, lol. Sometimes I become obsessive and think about it WAY too often, but it's becoming more "natural". Though I still find it quite challenging every single day.

Today has been a good day for me so far. I have watched what I ate and have drank lots of water and unsweetened iced tea. I had to take my stepdaughter to the store so she could buy a pair of dress shorts and flip-flops for her trip to the beach. We had a nice chat while we were out away from her dad and brothers about my concerns for her and myself where our weight is concerned. We made a promise that we would help each other through our weight loss journey. She said that she would like to lose about 50 pounds. I told her that I would like to lose about 100. So I think if I have her by my side then I should overcome the mental block I have built for myself and succeed.
Thanks for all your wonderful advice and support so far. I think I might have woke up my dh about his negative comments and the like after having to tell him this morning that his 11 year old daughter weighs 188 pounds now. That is only 40 lighter than I am.
I think instead of reaching for those high calorie food items I might just reach out for the computer keyboard and come chat with you all.
Hope you all had a wonderful day! Thanks for helping me get my life back on track today! I was really depressed all day yesterday and a little bit this morning. Then I remembered about 3fatchicks and decided to log in again. I am sure glad that I did.
Have a great evening! I think we are all going to go for a walk here in a little bit out at the local lake.
Kerry

That's so sweet that you have your step-daughter supporting you, and I think it is wonderful that you are stepping up and being concerned for not only yourself, but her health as well. I am sorry your husband brings up your weight in arguments. My dad would always throw that in my mom's face when they fought too. I think that is why she lost about 75 pounds when they divorced...kind of a payback of sorts LOL..I remember Saturday's with my dad, and dad saying " Your mom is looking good lately..She seeing anyone?" hehe.

So glad you are here, best of luck to you on this journey! :hug:

FIRST YOU HAVE TO DO THIS FOR YOU. Doing it for someone else or a special occasion never worked for me. It has also never worked for me to put a timeline on my weight loss. If the time came and I didn't reach my goal I thought of myself as a failure and stopped trying. I now lose 10 lbs at a time. Sometimes it takes me one month other times 2 months it doesn't matter the scale is going in the right direction.

Katrina gave you some great advice. Listen to it.
We hurt the ones we love most. Unfortunately that old saying is true.
You can do this and we are here.

Kerry,
My husband would end up with a black eye if he ever said anything about my weight.
What really helped me is not using a dinner plate I use a bread plate.After I finish that I wait for 20 minutes.If I am still hungry I drink a large glass of water.I only use 100 calorie packs and weight watchers snacks for treats.And I keep a food journal so I know what I am eating all the time and how many calories I am eating.When I get to a restrant I ask for a doggy bag before my dinner even gets to the table.I cut everything in half and take it home for another meal for the next day.If for some reason we eat fast food I get the kid's meals.My biggest problem is eating after 7pm.I always want something sweet.And I get the munchies but I am here and not eating so that is a real plus.
Good Luck!
Joyce

Joyce, your technique of waiting 20 minutes is a great one. I did that a few times, and it really works. I'd actually forgotten about it though until I read your post. Thanks for the reminder.

I don't mean to sound hokey, but as I was reading all these posts, I was thinking about what wonderful individuals are on this forum. I mean, working with special needs kids is a tough job, Kerry, and it takes a special person to do it. It makes me sad that so many people are disparaged about their weight when they possess so many other wonderful qualities.

Hi everyone,
Here goes for day number 3 of my lifestyle changes. I did it before and I am going to do it again. I just slipped off the bandwagon this past winter. I remember the day perfectly. My two bosses told me the day before Thanksgiving break, that I had to do 7 alternate assessments (an individual assessment of their skills, since they can't take the state's achievement test) on my 7 out of my 8 students. That I only had until the beginning of March to do this by too. So instead of working through my stress with excersing and mind excerises, I eat my way through it. Then after I finished that task up by the beginning of March, I had to write my student's Individual Education Plans for next school. After I completed that task, I had to pack up my entire classroom and send it off to the new school site. I am getting a new boss and coworkers come the fall. So there for 6 or 7 months I shyed away from excerising and eat healthly only maybe 30-50% of the time. But this time I am going to do it for me and not fall so hard off the bandwagon. I am not going to let my stress get in my way of reaching my goal weight. It should help that at my new school, I will be close to the high school and can walk the track on my lunch breaks when the weather is nice.
Katrina, thank you for telling me about that thread. I read all the posts yesterday. I had started to post a reply last night and was half way through with it when the hubby and stepkids were ready to go for a walk at the lake. So I couldn't stop and tell them to wait a few minutes on me. Since we haven't taken a walk together as a family for ages it seems. I am hoping that we will continue to do this to help my stepdaughter slowly start getting some excerise into her life again. Her mom and stepdad are big people. We spoke to her mom last year about our concerns for her last year and her mom got very mad about it. She said that we were picking on their daughter and she did not have a problem with food.So I am hoping that when she is at our house, we can instill in her the healthy eating habits and excerise habits and they will carry over with her when she is at her mom's house. In the last year she has packed on about 60 pounds. That is very unhealthly for a young girl like her. She is all the time talking about playing softball and basketball when she is in high school. She plays those sports now on our town's recreation league. But we are afaird if she doesn't take off some of her weight now, she will have a hard time trying out for the teams in high school.
Joyce I really like your idea off eating off a bread plate and waiting 20 minutes, then if hungry drinking the water. I am going to have to try that. Thanks for the tip.
I have been super hungry here the last two days. But I only eat the serving size for each meal. Then have a senisble snack of grapes in the early evening. Plus drink lots of water and iced tea. But I am not giving into my hungry pains when it is not time for a meal or a snack. I am going to work through them this time.
I hope you all have a wonderful day!
I plan on doing an excerise video once everyone is up for the day. I know that I can make it through day 3 with the support and guidance from all of you and my stepdaughter.
My dh keeps telling me that I will never reach my goal weight that my doctor and I have set for myself. That I have been trying for the last 5 or 6 years and I haven't came close. I have been down to 195 and then it is like I am either stuck there for a long time or as you can all tell gain some of the weight back. Before I was doing the dieting and excerising to stop him from saying hurtful things about me and to me. Plus so I can be there for my stepkids since their mom is so heavy that she doesn't even do anything with them. But now I know that I was going about it for all the wrong reasons. I guess I just needed to realize that for once I have to do something for myself and not put me on the back burner anymore. I am always seeing cute outfits in the Avon books that I would love to buy. So I think once I reach my first mini goal of being under 200 pounds, I am going to buy one of them for myself. Then when I get to 175, 150 and between 125 and 130 (which is my goal weight target), I will purchase myself other outfits from Avon.
Thanks again for all your encouragement and words of advice. I really appreciate them.
Kerry

I woke up this morning in a good mood ready to face the day and any challenges in it. All was fine until my husband got up. Then he started fighting with me again and started to bring up my weight. I told him that I didn't like it when he does that to me. But it just fell on deaf ears. So it another day of the old silent treatment from me before I really go and say things that I don't mean. I think I will wait for a moment to speak to him about it when the kids are not around and we have about an hour to discuss my weight issue. I am going to tell him that instead of being so hateful about my weight problem, I think I would do better if he was more supportive. What kills me is that I am 40 pounds lighter now than I was when I meet him. So I think he should be proud of how far I have come and not look at where I haven't went yet. He is disabled. But I don't throw that in his face when we have a fight. I have never said anything about him being disabled ever since I met him 5 years ago. Wonder how he would feel if I did say stuff about him being disabled?
How do you all handle it when your spouse talks mean towards you about your weight?
When we are out in public and one of our friends or family members says how great I am looking, he steps up and comments on how proud he is of me. But then when we are alone or at home and gets mad at me, he has to throw it up in my face. Where is the happy medium? Or will there ever be one?
Sorry to have babbled but I am really down right now. I did a 20 minute dance cardio dvd and had to take a short break before I do my strenghtening dvd for 20 minutes. Well I better go and finish my workout now. We were suppose to go to a friend's house this evening. But I think I might just skip that and stay home and do things for myself for a change.
Hope everyone is having a better day than I am!
Later,
Kerry

Thanks Katrina for your words of encouragment. I made it through the rest of my workout. After I got my shower, he came in and told me that he does love me. I told him that he sure has a funny way of showing it at times. Then I went on to say that I don't like it how he has said some nasty things here lately to me about my weight. I said I have once said anything nasty or bad about your disabilty. He's reply was no. Then I went on to say that I have to live with being overweight everyday of my live. That you don't think that it bothers me when people stare at me, make rude comments about being fat, pick on me about my weight, that some of my clothes don't fit right or that I feel like people are staring at me when we go out to eat or go to parties. He was reply was that he got picked on so much when he was little that he has been able to build up a shell and not let it bother him. I said that is where men and women are different, we can just let it go as easily as a man can. I said that all I as is for you to be a little more supportive and not so critical. On that note, I walked out of the room we were in and he hasn't said anything to me since then. That was 15 minutes ago. So I don't know if he is pondering about it or has just moved on.
I think alot of our problems stem from that we have been strapped with our money situation for about 2 year now. Ever since we had a house with a gas furance in it and had gas bills as high as 600 or 700 dollars in the winter. Needless to say we got rid of that house and are renting now. But every time we think we are slowly getting back on our feet, something else pops up and sets us back. So alot of our stress is about money. I just pray that things will start looking up for us soon.
Well I need to go and eat something for supper before it gets too late for me to eat anything. Thanks for listening to me.
Take care,
Kerry

Katrina thanks for the hugs. I could feel them through the computer. LOL
My dh was raised by an abusive father. So I sometimes wonder if that also has a lot to do with the way he is. I try to tell him and do small things for him everyday to let him know that I love him. So I guess maybe after we get our money troubles straightened out then maybe life will be better for us. It doesn't help that he pays child support to his ex and we still have to shell out money for the kids. For sports equipment, shoes and clothes. Alot of our fights have been during the three months that I am off from school here the last few years. See I have an afterschool job with the afterschool program for 10 hours a week at $18.00 so that extra $360 every two weeks really can make a difference. But when school is not in session we don't have that program. Every summer I try to get a part-time job. But no one wants to hire a school teacher for the summer. And he has been trying to find a job where he can supplement his disability income. During the summer we have his three children Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. while their mom is at work. We have told her that money is tight for us doing the summer and asked if we could atleast have an extra 20 or 30 dollars a week for food for them and she throws a fit. But she has a build in babysitter in the two of us. Because we are the ones who take them to their doctor appointments during the summer, feed them two meals a day and a snack. Make sure that the one boy does his eye therapy and then all she had to do is go home and spend the evening with them. Plus during baseball/softball season we are the ones who run them to practice and make sure we are at every game. She might show up for the last fifteen minutes of their games. We had plans to go to a concert last Saturday. The tickets were really cheap, only 7 bucks apiece. We would have seen John Michael Montgermy (sp), Trisha Yearwood and Andy Griggs. Plus take the kids to my sister's in WV to go to a ball game with her on the 23rd. But we had to cancel all our plans, because the ex had taken a week off from work to go out on the road with her hubby who is an over the road truck driver. She wanted us to the watch the kids for this whole week. But she let my husband know about this on the 8th. But she knew for a couple months this is want she was doing. I called her at work and asked her for some money to help feed the kids for the week. We ended up getting into a screaming match on the phone and I just told her that I was not listening to her anymore and hung up the phone. We live on a budget from paycheck to paycheck. We had our van payment, car insurance and a like two or three other little bills to pay last Friday. But instead of paying all our bills, we had to put the little bills back until we can pay a little on them hopefully the next paycheck so we could buy food for the kids for the week. Because we just buy enough food to feed them in the morning and at lunch time. Then my hubby and I make small items for the two of us to eat for dinner. Needless to say, we have been used big time. We went out and bought all kinds of good healthly food for them to eat this week and then she brings them over late Tuesday afternoon and came to pick them up this afternoon. I said we won't have had to buy so much extra food, we could have paid on our bills and went to the $7 concert and to the free ball game with my sister. Oh well, I guess the only good thing about it is, is that we don't have to worry about not having anything to feed them next week or possibly the week after.
As for this afternoon, my hubby has acted like nothing was wrong this morning or that I even said anything this afternoon about our fight. Our one friend called this evening and asked if we would go over to his brother's house so they could play cards. I told my hubby that he could go and our friend said why isn't Kerry going to come. My hubby's reply was just that I was in a bad mood. Couldn't have anything to do with being up late last night and having to get up at 7:30 this morning to get his daughter ready to go to her mom's work with her mom's co-worker to help with some picnic they were having today. I finally went back to bed around 9. Only for him to wake up and want to talk. So I never did get to go to sleep for a little bit longer. Then we got into a fight around 11. Done the laundry, dishes and then finally got to put in my workout late this afternoon. So I am tired this evening and just wanted some me time. Is that selfish of me?
So how old are your kids? How long was your hubby in the Navy? Glad to hear that live does get better after being married for a while.
Well I think I am going to sign off and go read a book for a little bit. Then hopeful fall in bed early this evening.
Thanks for helping me through my rotten day. :)
Have a great evening!

Katrina hope you were finally able to get some sleep last night. I had a hard time falling asleep to last night. But I think my was from being so tired and worn out from being up late the night before, getting up early yesterday morning and then just the day's events. So I am hoping that today after I run some errands I can take me a nap. LOL What is that? Huh.
You must have your hands full with your kids. Sounds like you are a busy lady. How do you like homeschooling your children? Do you find it easier than sending them off to school? I haven't really know anyone who is homeschooled,so was just curious.
I better start thinking about doing my walking video, then getting my shower and getting dressed for the day. I have an appointment at 11 a.m. this morning. Thank goodness it is just down the street from my house. :) I have several errands to run today. So that should keep me busy and focused on positive things.
Well I better get busy for the day. Look forward to chatting with you again real soon. Hope you have a great Friday!
Take care,
Kerry

Katrina,
My dh and I haven't fought any since on Thursday. Now when he has something to ask me, he starts off with the comment "I don't want to start a fight, I just have a question to ask you". So I am hoping that my little chat with him on Thursday has helped some. I guess time will tell.
Yesterday was okay. My schedule got through out the window though. My bil came over for a visit unannounced and had to use the computer. He likes to come over and look up recipes he has seen on all the cooking shows he watches and then print them off. But it bugs the crap out of me, because that is the only reason he comes over. Then he complains when we ask for he to purchase either paper or ink every so often. So my excerise time was cut out in the morning. Then my dh came home with his two sons to inform me that they were spending the night. Usually this don't bother me, but I had made plans last evening to go over to my sil for a girls evening. My dh had promised a friend that he would help park cars at the county fair from 6 to 9. So then the kids had the neighbor boy over to play and I don't feel comfortable working out in front of people that are not family. If that makes sense. So at 10 when we found my stepdaughter's cell phone change I jumped at the chance to take it to her house. Then I rode around for a little bit before going home. So that was my big exciting day. Today I am planning on mowing the sideyard as my excerise. Then maybe convince my dh to go for a walk with me later. I think want might have changed his tune too is that I went for a job interview on Friday morning and go back for a second one on Wednesday night. So things are starting to look up a little bit. Only bad thing is that it is that time of the month and I feel like a bloated beached whale. I just hope that on Tuesday night when I go to TOPS for my weigh-in, I come up on the losing end of the scale.
Sounds like your kids had a blast at their Harry Potter party. What kinds of things did they have there for the kids? My sister is the head of the children's department at the library she works at. I might have to share that idea with her. Believe it or not, I have never read a Harry Potter book. Maybe that is something I will have to do though. I have my work cut out for me though, since there are seven books in the series now.
So how is your weekend going? Hope you are having nice weather in NM. It is sunny and breezy here today in Ohio. It is nice to have the windows open to let the breeze in and not have the fans on making a lot of noise.
Well I better go and get ready to mow the lawn. Talk to you later. Have a great afternoon.
Kerry

Just wanted to share a small victory with you! I had been craving a small hot fudge sundae with peanuts on it from the DQ for two days now. Well I told myself this mornig that I would go get it tonight when my dh and stepsons where gone. Well I pushed mowed the side yard this afternoon. It took me about an hour and fifteen minutes to do. Well I felt really pumped up from that great workout, that I decided that I wasn't craving the ice cream anymore. That for a snack this evening I will just eat a small bowl of grapes.
Hope are enjoying today!
Take care,
Kerry

Hi Katrina,
Now it is I that is having a hard time sleeping. I had finally fallen asleep about 3 only to wake back up round 4:30. So I just hope that shortly I can get some sleep. Or maybe my dh will let me sleep in somewhat in the morning.
Sounds like you are having a really hot summer. I don't do well in too much heat and humidity. I became very cracky and mean. I think that is why when it is too hot out, I prefer to stay inside and read. LOL
I went over to my SIL for a about 4 hours this evening. I had her help me experiement by waxing the hair off of my chin. Boy did we have a ball at that. We had wax everywhere. But we got it done. But, boy oh boy, does my chin itch now. Maybe that is why I can't sleep!
I did stop at the DQ on the way to her house. But it is not what you think, I stopped for a hot dog and med. Diet coke. That is what I had for dinner. I laughed that here was craving ice cream for the last day and half from there and I stop for a hot dog. I have tried the WW ice cream stuff. But I don't take to kindly to sharing those as treats with my stepsons. They gooble them up before I can get my share fair of them. Like they discovered my Crystal Light packets! Now I feel that I have to race them to cupboard before they use them all up! LOL
I am proud of your will power that you had at the Harry Potter party. Sounds like it was a grand time for everyone involved. I am hoping that they have the first book available at my library when I go this week. If not, I guess I will put my name down for it as a hold.
As for the job, I have always wanted to be a librarian. I was thinking about going back to school to get my master's in library science. But my assistant superindent told me that they would not give the pay raise if I got in library science. So I am thinking about going and getting it in education of technology. That way I can use it with my special needs kids and teach them things that they can be very hands-on with. I just have to pay off some bills and save up the money.
I try to get my workout videos done when the kids first get to our house and they are busy talking to their dad about what they did the night before or are busy playing video games or watching tv in their rooms. My stepdaughter use to do the Walk away the Pounds videos with me at the old house. But there we had a huge living room. Now we have a tiny one and there just isn't enough room for the two of us to do them together. I went to Curves for about two years. At first it worked for me, than my body got use to it and stopped making progress. Plus it was hard for me to get there in time from work before they closed for the evening. So we joined the Y last Nov. I went there strong for the first two months. Then the snow really hit us in the middle of Jan. and I had to stop going. Then I just never went back. So my dh finally told me the other day to cancel it. So it looks like it is going to be workout videos for me for awhile and walking at the local lake. I hope when we find another house, I can have one room devoted to working out with different machinces in it. That is my goal for wanting to reach the President's Club selling Avon. If you sell $10,100 of Avon in one year, you reach the President's Club level. Then you can start earning points for every dollar you sell, then you can remeed those points for prizes from their little awards catolog. Well I saw some really neat workout equipment that you can earn. So has been my goal for the last couple of years. My goal is to reach that level this year. Don't know if I can or not. But I am going to try like the dickens.
Well I think I might be able to go back to bed now and fall asleep. I better close and go try that. I will chat with you more tomorrow. Have a great Monday!
Take care,
Kerry

Hey chickies! I see you have a nice private thread going here. :D I just wanted to mention that if you have something to say that you really want kept private, you can use the Private Message feature. Just click the recipient's name, on the left of her post, and choose "Send a private message to..." from the menu that pops up.

Kerry, you ought to consider signing up for the YMCA again during the summer! They do have short-term memberships, and that might be better for you if winter isn't a good time to get there. I used to go to Curves and then switched to the Y, and I'm very happy with it.

Jay

Jay thanks for the advice about the Y. But I have a hard time getting there since it is not in the town that I live in. I can't always leave because of my three stepkids being at our house during the day. So I guess I will stick to the workout videos at home and walking outside when I can. Now if my town would have a gym, it would be easier for me.

Hi Katrina,
Oh you poor thing about your toes! I hope your toes feel alittle bit better today. I can't image having at one time in my life broken every toe I have. I know that I have stubbed them really good on things before. My problem is that my kneecap in my left leg when out my freshman year of high school. Every so often it will hurt. But on Sunday and Monday, it felt like it was catching. So I hope it is nothing too serious.
No I haven't been to the library yet to see about getting a copy of the first Harry Potter book. I have to go tomorrow to return some books and movies. I will look than.
My day was great yesterday. It was the fourth day in a row that my dh and I haven't had a fight. He left last night to go to ball practice with the boys around 6:30. Came home around 9:30 long enough to bring in their gear and to tell me that he was going to go over to one of our friends for a little bit. I didn't say anything but I had wanted to spend some time with him since the kids were over at their mom's house. He was like I am not going to be there for very long. Well he got home this morning at 4 and is still in bed. So I had to be the one to get up and make sure someone was up when the kids got here. It just makes me mad at times that he does what he pleases and leaves me to pick up the pieces and hold everything together. But when I want to go do something I have make sure that I have everything done and he makes a big deal about me not spending time with him. I guess it is something we are going to have to work on to get balanced out here over the next couple of years. I guess that is also why men are so different from females too! LOL
I have my TOPS meeting tonight and hope to weigh-in with a loss. I will let you know.
Well I better go and get my workout done for the day. I will chat with you later.
Hope you have a great day!
Kerry

Hi Katrina,
Hope your foot is feeling better this evening. Sorry to hear that you didn't have a very good day. I can relate about when your meal schedule gets thrown off track. I will do that sometimes and then beat myself up for doing it.
Today was okay. I did want I wanted to do which was not much of anything. I did do a 30 minute walking video. Read some pages in The Devil Wears Prada, cooked lunch, did the dishes, and took a nap. Then I went to TOPS. I gained a pound. Don't know how since I have watched what I ate and drank and have been working out every day. Oh well, I will just have to work harder on it this coming week.
My hubby said that he would spend some time with me this evening after I got home from my meeting. I told him that I would be home a little after 7:30. Well I am home and he is not. So I guess when I am ready to go to bed tonight, I am not staying up later just to spend time with him. It just makes me mad at times,he makes this big deal about spending time with me and then isn't even here.
So I guess we both needed to vent today. I think I am going to go and finish reading my book. I only have about 50 more pages in it. Now I want to see the movie of it. I wonder if my library has a copy of the movie.
Well you have a great evening!
Take care,
Kerry
