Prayers BRAT!

Back from camping but short on time....

Be good.....I wasn't!....lol....

will "weigh" the damage in the morning!

I hope everyone is doing well! I've been eating the same, that's gotta stop! I joined my 5K and it is November 7! It's to raise money for lung cancer research. I don't know if I'm allowed to post a donation link here but if anyone is interested in sponsoring me that would be great!

I hope everyone is making better choices than me! If I can get to the gym tomorrow I will be ECSTATIC!

What is everyone going to do this week that will put you in the right direction? I'm going to drink more water and get more sleep!

Finally got away from 210.5 and weighed in at 208.5 this morning! That is half way for me. Thanks for all the support gang.

Brat I am praying for you to be better soon.

Thanks all for the well wishes and prayers. It appears to have worked. I just got home from the surgeon's office and we were able to remove the infected tissue with a small in office procedure! So now it just needs time to heal. I am a bit uncomfortable and sore again but that is to be expected. I have a follow up appointment in two weeks but hopefully this is the tunnel that leads to the light and the end! I am up to ahem 219 because I've been pretty stressed about medical bills and have succumbed to eating emotionally. Have a great day!

[toobig]

Glad to hear things are looking up Brat

We were on PAGE THREE AGAIN GUYS! Come on guys! We have to keep this going while our FEARLESS LEADER GARY is away! I hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was OK. I'm just spending it being thankful for being able to have the means to pay debt off from hubby's job doing so well despite being unemployed myself. I celebrated today paying off another credit card and finishing all prescriptions for that nasty staph infection by ordering pizza hut. But back on the wagon tomorrow morning. Have a great night!

Had funeral for uncle yesterday. My family is dieing off on me. And all so young.

HI GALS

Sorry I haven't been posting. I was actually working close to home the last 3 weeks but was swamped with "stress"....usually doesn't happen to me at work. We were just under such a time commitment to finish w/o overtime and my boss really wanted me to keep the crew a couple of guys short for the budget....that the carpenters before me blew by 2 months! Being the next guy the weight falls to me....

All is good today, the job came in under my alloted budget and I am getting a day off now to regroup and catch my breath

I have stayed between 187-189.8 all month. I have taken some small steps to lower my calories by buying more "light-weight" soups for my lunches instead of the chunky kind. I am limiting myself to 3 beers a day and water/coffee.

I have been getting a few walks in the last couple of weeks....something I missed for a few weeks with stuff happening.

BRAT ~So glad you are feeling better and are paying some of the debt down...a good move to take weight off in more than one situation

TOOBIG ~ I am so sorry to hear that. We lost a husband of a good friend of ours yesterday (older fellow) and today I read an old high school friend I hadn't talked to in 8 years passed away

Be good TEAM

[toobig]

Glad to see you back and sorry to hear about your loss.

[blondebritbrat17]

Toobig and Gary- So sorry for your losses.

Gary- I love those chunky soups too myself. But they are calorie heavy! Good job on making the switch. We are trying to lighten our load financially as well to help with stress and debt is sneaky and just worms its way into every aspect of life. We have paid off all 3 of my credit cards recently. Now moving onto the bigger debt we have.

I have come to a conclusion about working out. I'm still not cleared completely medically to go back to working out. The swelling in my abdomen is finally gone and all the other signs of infection are gone. I just have one bruise left and it's gonna take awhile for it go away. Anyways my conclusion is that for me to work out on a daily basis I need to go back to one of the great loves in my life which is dancing. Before I got ill with this staph infection I had been trying to do treadmills, biking, circuit training and hating every minute of it! Anyways night night!

GEESH!! Things have gotten busy this week. Took Monday off to work on the barn...that was fun!! We are MEAP testing at school...huge deal. WOrking out late every night, but getting it in. Weight is up and I want to hurt something. I seriously do not know what to do differently. I think I will be in the 170's for the rest of my life. Ladies..Keep up the good work. Any ideas or suggestions...send them my way.

[blondebritbrat17]

I still am pretty off track. I'm still eating off plan and am tired still so still am resting/sleeping a lot. My body just still feels pretty beat up from the staph infection and the procedure I had to have so I'm giving myself a bit of leeway for right now. I was proud of myself yesterday. Had a yogurt for breakfast then chicken salad for lunch then dinner went out to eat. So I had two good meals out of 3 lol. Have a good day!

[blondebritbrat17]

Hey all.. Where did everyone go!? I hope all had a good weekend. My weekend was spent again resting and recovering from the week and getting ready for this week once again. I'm still sleeping a lot at times so I'm still kind of taking it easy. I finally have no more bruising now on my abdomen visible so that's something! Hope all is well with everyone!
