Morning -

I need to vent and I apologize in advance I am just at witts end!

I am having major issues this morning. My parents are splitting up and I am stuck in the middle. This is causing massive stress. Mom is calling me 5-6 times in a 3 hour span and constantly coming in my room crying and stuff. I realize this is stressful for her but I don't think it is right to use me as her support. In addition I get left doing the housework. Getting an apt is not an option right now because of health and finances. Anyhow, yesterday I ate well I thought. I had 2 slices of turkey and rasins for breakfast, a WW meal for lunch and a ceaser salad for dinner. The scale shows a 2 lb gain today. I can only think it is the stress. I worked out yesterday and today and am eating right. Any ideas on what else this could be?

thanks
Nikki

Robin-that's pretty scary. I'm glad his vision is coming back, but I would be pretty freaked out if I didn't know what was causing it. I hope the doctors find out soon what was the cause. Stay strong, girl!

aimee-score on that interview. good luck!! remember to be confident. I love layering!!! I love the look of another color peeking out from beneath my top. I didn't even know adidas made hair bands. you're like my bf. he likes to have all the good brands. me, I don't care. as long as its cute and comfortable, I'll buy it and wear it. great job on your eating and staying away from sugar!!

nikki-i think your gain is definitely stress related. I think you need to talk to your mom about what's going on. Let her know that you'll be there for her but that you need your space to. It seems like your doing good on your eating so keep doing what you are doing and keep your chin up!!

courtnie-that's great about your bf friends gfs. I am a little hesitant to meet my bf's friends because of the way I look. But that's good that you got out and met some people.

Yesterday I overdid it on pizza a bit. At least I didn't go over 2000 calories. It's still high, but it could of been worse. Stilll trying to get my excercise on. I just feel too lazy. I better get crackin though because I think this loss that I had has got me a little too overconfident and I'm starting to slack off. My bf wants to go get a tattoo this weekend, I was supposed to get one with him but I wanted to lose weight because of where I want to get it. We're supposed to get each other's names. Kind of cheesy, I know. But I like it. lol

catch up with you all later!!!

Aimee - good luck with the interview! and stay away from bad people!

Nikki - maybe you could stay with a friend for a few days? it sounds like you need to get out of that house. As for the gain, I don't know - I am up 3. I think it happens to everything. But it sounds like you might not be eating enough, how many calories do you usually have a day?

Rosario - Don't worry about some pizza! Back on track today! With my birthday coming up I am sure there is going to a few days this week I am going to go over calories, but I just have to do my best if I want to lost 2.6 pounds this week.

Well girls, you wont believe this but I am on my bike right now - gooo me! The only thing is that I only have time for 20 min this morning. I was up eariler but I just didnt want to get out of bed. And the only reason why I have time is cuz my lunch is already made... I really need to get back up to waking up earlier. I want my boyfriend to put the spare tv in the spare room so its all ready to go. As it is right now I have to drag my bike half way across the house if I want to watch tv and ride.

I just noticed the thing I have the laptop sitting on has put a mark on my freshly painted wall! eeps lets hope my step dad doesn't find it! haha
My step dad has really been getting on my nerves, he like tells me to do something with the new place and before I ever have a chance to do it, he wants to know why its not done yet... argh. He doesnt know about the dog either, I am just going to get it and show him and then he is going to ***** at me for weeks... I hate it. I just hope this goes away once we are more setteled it - it is almost as stressful as living at home again!

Hang in there ladies!!! I am sure all will get better soon!!!

I had a great yesterday on workouts I did 40 min on core and I did 40 mins on the tread mill....

I got some good news!!! I can set the date for my boob job!!! I got a letter in the mail yesterday from my Doc. All I have to do is see how much time I have left to take off and name the day!!!! I can wait!!!!! Smaller boobs here I come!!!! My back will be so happy to.

Uni - great news god luck with that.

Rosario- Hang in there. I love the thought of the tattos so romantic lol.

Courtnie- I am not eating enough I just cant eat. When I eat I'm afraid I'll gain and I'm nauseous from stress. It is 2 pm and all I had so far today is a small ceaser salad legt over from last night. I'm tempted to go get a starbucks frapuccino just to get more calories in me. I will be going to stay at my boyfriends Fri- Monday morning I cannot wait to get out of here. I am sure I'll eat better there.

Nikki - just a tip, I wasnt eating enough and I started eating more and then started losing weight faster! Maybe that will help you eat some more! hehe

Eat more cals....I did the same thing and it was easyer to lose!!!!

ty I need all the luck I can get. I am a little worried about the pain....eek!

I can't believe whata hard time I am having eating. I seems unreal but I'm just not hungry. I will try to eat a biggish dinner tonight.

Nikki

I made this stuff with my hambugers last night, I took canned nibblets corn, canned mushrooms, low fat margine, onion, garlic seasoning and fried it all up it was soo yummy! so for lunch today I mixed in some whole wheat pasta and a bit of hot sauce, SUPER GOOD! I think I am going to have to make some more and pack it up for lunchs! mmmm

La3y - be sure to let us know how it goes when it happens, I have kinda been thinking I want one.

Nikki - what about a protien shake or something? That might helps and help get some extra protien too! You take the mix, maybe some fruit, milk, ice, maybe even some peanut butter... mmm they are tastey!

I have never tried a protein shake. I will have to check out getting some ingredients. Well I forced myself to eat a hotdog and some veggies. I also had 1 sausage link. Now I feel like I'm going to pop. I don't expect to see a loss tomorrow but it would be nice. I'll just keep trying. Tomorrow I will force myself to eat 3 meals.

I am so slacker today! I woke up... started to paint my toe nails and then headed to the mall to meet a friend. I got the cutest tube top.. it actually looks good too!

Nikki - Those days away will do your wonders.. get your mind off things. I wouldn't expect a loss that you can really sustain if you aren't eating much. I've had those days where you just can't stand to eat.. it's like everything makes you ill. Enjoy those days away :)

la3y - omg! Goodluck with the boob reduction! I want mine lifted, heh. My friend got hers reduced, and while it was painful.. she said it wasn't unbarable. You will be fine, just rest lots :)

Courtnie - yay! Good job getting back on that bike.. it's so good for you. I've heard it realllly works the mid section.. do you really notice how much flatter your stomach is? I bet your waist so so much smaller with that bike!

So I painted my toe nails.. now I have the worlds smallest toe nails, but I braved it and did french tips on my toes. It was looking pretty good and then I put a pink coat on.. not so much a fan. But I'm going to leave it until they need to be done again. I'm feeling way more girly these days.. dunno what thats all about. Anyways, I gotta go put some stuff away before we go pick up my friend. Have a good one :)

Swim - I was afraid of that. I can't wait until friday to recharge. It is so frustrating not eating should = losing weight lol.

Nikki

I can't believe there is still two hours of work left. I am sooo tired and ready for a nap!

I hope tomorrow morning I can get back on the bike, even if it is only for 20 min. Before I was doing 80 and I think it might of been too much. I am hoping to get back to riding everyday for about 45 min. Especially if I want to make my birthday goal... 2.6 pounds away! eeps!

This week is going to be hard too. One day this week we will have Birthday cake at work and normally I don't have any but this is my birthday month and I think I should allow myself a piece! And then another night, probably Thursday, we are going for dinner. I am going with my friend (him and I were going for sushi a lot) and he has never meet my boyfriend, so him, his girlfriend, my boyfriend, and I are all going out - hopefully somewhere where my friend and I can get sushi but my bf can find something he likes too! haha Saturday/Sunday my boyfriend and I are probably going camping with my parents... Sunday is my birthday! And this weekend is Bathtub weekend (but we will miss most of it if we are camping!). It should be a busy weekend. I love bathtub weekend (and not just cuz my birthday usually lands on it, haha). And next week I get my puppy! eeeps, so much is happening I am going crazy. I think that's why I am having a hard time focusing on work cuz my mind keeps wandering to better things, lol. But I do love my job!

I am starting to get hungry... mmm I wonder whats for dinner!

Courtnie - Dare I ask what bathtub weekend is?
