so its true - purgartory is really just earth....

HI all.. same 'ole thing for me, nothing new to report! I haven't been journaling my points since last Friday, I really need to get to that, or I will definately show a gain this week! UGHHH. HUbby works this weekend, so Emma and I will go to WI, then who knows, maybe shopping.

Emma sits up now. She is sooooo cute. sometimes she get top heavy and tumbles over, then rolls around! And this morning in the car she pulled her socks off!!!!

Sarah... Trish is PG, I had mine last fall!!! Wouls like to be PG again, but I know that it is definately too soon. I want a little space between my kids!!

Brenda... Vacation sounds WONDERFUL! WE have ours planned for November and I am counting the days!!!

Belle... For Protein try beans or eggs. I love meat so that's not a problem for me!! Does Soy have protein??

Tonya.. more cold weather forcasted for the next couple of days. When will we get to normal?? Last night we had frost warnings!!! UGHHHH

Lolly... wish you were coming to Wisconsin... I would definately find time to see you!!!

OK, gotta get back to work. There may be a shake up here... don't know yet... receptionist problems.

Isn't Purgatory in the middle of the desert????? Hmmmm.... makes me wonder if I am missing out of something! :)

Purgatory
 

Well, the Purgatory that we would go to was a Ski resort in Colorado. I've never been to the *other* Purgatory. I hope its the same, but I doubt it!

Sniffle. Sniff. Sniff.
 

I hab a code. Bleh. I've gone through two small boxes of Kleenex since yesterday and I need more! Argh! All because of that graduation! It was Friday, outside rain or shine. Well, it rained. Not a nice little light rain, either. It poured! For 2 hours! I had a raincoat on, with a hood, and I was damp anyway.

I was driving back from Connecticut yesterday when my throat started hurting. Then I started to sniffle. Then my nose started to run. Then I started to ache, and ... you know the rest. I didn't get home until 1:30 a.m. I took a Robitussen Cold & Flu and all it did was keep me up all night. I think I got 45 minutes of sleep.

Today is usually my weigh-in day, but I have a lunch meeting so I can't. So I'll probably go tomorrow instead. I think I probably stayed the same.

I still haven't gone through all the posts yet, but I will. I gotta run, but I'll be back later! Have a good day everyone!

Hello everyone. Just a quick note. I am feeling ok today. I was very sick last night. I have not been getting that sick, so that was strange.

Thank you for all the wishes. I am trying to stay calm and repeat what Brenda says, "this will all work out great"

Kay: I was thinking about you and maybe, just in case you are preg, you should call your dr and see if you can get an RX for prenatial vitamins. That way you are covered (and they don't hurt you if you are not). If you dont feel comforable doing that, talk with your pharmasist and see about a vitamin with folic acid in it. I have read that it is important to start taking right away to reduce chance of some early developing birth defects.

Lolly: YAHHH!!! I will sure try to meet you in Lawrence. My family is from Kansas City (about 30 min from Lawrence) and my mom and sister went to the University of Kansas. Unlike most of Kansas, Lawrence ( and Kansas City) is very hilly. Lawrence is a great little college town. Very liberal and artsy. Very fun.

Ok, I have been at the computer too long. BUT, I am getting a lap top from work tonight! So I should be able to post more tomorrow.

Talk with you soon.

Trish

sickness
 

trish - i am this very moment reading stuff about the evolutionary advantage of morning sickness. apparently it usually peaks during the critical period of organ formation (between 6 and 18 weeks into pregnancy). some people think it is a mechanism designed to protect the baby from any harmful toxins, or that the immune system is weaker at this time. i'm sure lori knows a lot more about all this than i do, but i thought you might be interested to hear it. oh, and women who experience morning sickness are less likely to miscarry than women who do not (especially if you actually vomit rather than just feel nausious). so, basically. if you are feeling sick - that's good!
kim, hope your cold gets better!
i better get back to purgatory here...less than 30 mins to go though!
kirsty

Like a Monday!!
 

It feels like Monday to me. Too bad I'm super busy and can't play today.
I must run. Have a great day and hopefully I can get online tonight after I leave the "Jungle"
Bye!

Trish... I am drinking my first Diet Dr. Pepper since BEFORE I was PG with Emma. Over a year ago! Tastes great! I only worry that the nutrasweet will cause me to retain fluids or worse yet... NOT LOSE! There was a big discussion at one of my WW meetings a couple months ago. Everyone was very negative about diet soda! I don't abuse the stuff, but I do like soda and this is a better alternative!

Oh and bare with the morning sickness. I was only nauseous once in awhile, so I was lucky... but I agree with Kirsty that although being sick is really crappy.. it's a good thing

Work Shmurk... blahhhh. Not in the mood. Today it is nice out and I want to go and play. Especially since they are forcasting rain tomorrow thru Friday.... YUCK!

Ok, back to Purgatory for me too!

Hi all!

Sorry I have not been a faithful poster......just got busy with the house and kids.

I am so excited yesterday I actually only ate 20 pts. worth of food! A breakthorugh for me! Now today....of course I have already had 22 points worth of food but I am fixing a very healthy low point dinner so I should be good to go.

I've also been forcing myself out of bed early in the morning (6am) and going out and walking/running intermidently on the trails behind our house. I've been doing that for about 30 min or so and then coming home and doing a sit-ups routine. When I get more adjusted to this schedual I want to add a weights routine using my
video that I got. It is so nice to be able to go out and excercise without the kids or my hubby nagging at me! I also am loving the tone it sets for my day.

Trish: congrats on the pregnancy. I know how tough it is to be on bed rest...so was I at the end of my first. I started to develop toxemia. Different condidtions I know, but the bed rest sucks all the same.
The morning sickness will pass, you should talk to dr. about taking some extra vitamin b6. My dr prescribed that for me cause I was so ill all the time. it does take the edge off of it.

Kim: Oh I hope you get better soon! A clod (lol) really sucks, specially this time of year when it is nice weather!

Sarah: I am counting the day when I can fit into a size 12, I'm still a size 14 and not necessarily unhappy, just want to better myself. Congrats!!

Tonya: glad to hear you are back on track, that is great!

Well gonna run for now but hi to everyone else! I hope to chat with you all a little bit later. :)

Home??
 

I am dying to leave I think I might bust outta here a bit early and go for a run before I meet my sister and mom....ah, leaving sounds SO GOOD right now. yes, must leave. RUNNING FOR SANITY!!

Have a good night!
