Congrats to Tim! Yippeeeee!

It's bill paying day. I really dislike bill paying day. I really dislike watching that balance go down........and did you know Christmas shopping hasn't started for me? I have usually started by now. :dizzy: There are not enough hours in my days. I haven't even cooked dinner. :faint:

Such a nice day here. My kids spent most of the day at the park. Sometimes I would like to be a kid again. Most of the time, I wouldn't want to be growing up now.

Hi,
Well I went to exercise today. I really didn't want to go because it's been raining all day but I did.

Dee, we paid bills today too. They just seem to keep coming. So you must be like my little sister. She has all of her shopping done early like by Thanksgiving. I don't even get started until then. :)

Hope everone has a good day.

Dee, I balanced the checkbook tonight. That is a job that I hate to do. BUT it balanced!!!! Usually I'm off a little bit, but not this time!! Sometimes I'd like to be a kid too.

Susan, it has been raining here most of the afternoon and evening. I have started some shopping, but not much. I have nothing at all for Bob. I know he'd like a Jeep. Think I should get him one??? HA!!!!

Tomorrow is an off day, so I plan to sleep in. Meeting some friends for supper tomorrow night. Bob and I meet with the insurance guy at 2:00 to review all of our policies. We want cheaper!

Checkbook, checkbook....balance...balance....nope, doesn't ring a bell.:dizzy:

DH wants to run tonight, should be interesting. I might be able to go three feet. :running:

LOL about the checkbook and balancing. I always manage to get my balanced because I adjust things. If the bank says I have more, I add the amount I'm missing, and vice versa. I drive Bob crazy!!!

How was your run?

I did more than sleep in today. I slept most of the day! I couldn't believe it. Got up with the dog at 6, went back to bed at 7:30, slept until 11, got up for a while, back to bed at 12:30, up and went to insurance meeting, home and back to bed at 3:30 until 5:00 when I had to leave to meet my friends. What a wasted day. I don't feel any better. I'm still achy and sleepy. I go to school tomorrow, so I'm hoping that I'm perkier than this.

I think I ran 1 mile and walked .75 mile. I didn't die. DH wants to keep going. I think we will just walk tonight and try to run on Thurs. We'll see.

You did sleep alot. You know, I find that when I do that, it actually makes me more tired.

Where is Tina?

Susan, what kind of exercise do you do?

Well, I slept today away too! Didn't go to school. I just couldn't get moving. Bob has been the same way this week. I thought it was the fibro, but apparently it's something else since he's felt puny too.

Dee, good for you for getting out and doing something!! Bob and I walk together sometimes, but he always walks so fast. I can't keep up. I did go to the Y tonight for the aerobics. Thought that would help me wake up.

Tomorrow is an off day, so I need to get some things done around here. (other than napping!!)

Good for you for going to the Y. Sounds like he's might be catching something. I hope not.

I walked about 2 miles tonight, had to stop to use the potty and DH was going to finish the block,but I think he decided to run. :?: So much for 'we'll go at your pace'. You know you feel better when you exercise, I hope it will do something with my innards, get everything moving and some weightloss would be nice too. ;)

Has Tim started his new job?

Hi guys,

Well Dad's out of the hospital, kitty is still here but her tumor is growing rapidly, we'll make a decision tonight after Pat gets home from talking to the vet. I think I already know the answer!!!

I'm doing good. I've been exercising hard!!! It does make me feel better! I think I feel muscles starting to form.

Dee, I joined Lifetime Fitness. When I'm not working with the trainer, I walk on the treadmill, and ride the bike. I have to keep my heart rate above 109 to 134. When I work out with Mitch, I do crunches, leg lifts, squats (which are hard:)) other leg stuff and then machines for my biceps and triceps and back. Then the other day, he had me boxing and jumping rope. It was a lot of fun!

I meet with the dietitican on Monday. I'll let you know what she has to say.

How is everyone doing?

Bad day. Went to WW knowing that I am swollen. Knowing that my finers look like sausages. I stepped on the scale shoes and all. Why bother taking them off, I was up l4-5 pounds. I am tired of the struggle. I am not quitting, I am going running tonite with DH, but I am worn out from the psychological part of this.

I would love to have a trainer, and I should probably invest in a nutritionist. Does insurance cover them?

Susan, sorry about your kitty. I am a cat lover, I can't imagine having to make the decision, bless your heart.

Good news about your dad.

Dee,
Thanks! It's a hard decision. It seems like we've had to do that alot lately losing our horse last month.

I just decided that I would invest in a trainer to get me on the right track. The dietician is free, I'm sure they will try to sell me some sessions but I don't think I'll do that. I'll let you know what I learn.

Hang in there Dee!!! I puff up too. My trainer did tell me to make sure that I drink all my water. He says it helps burn fat.

Dee, Tim started his job last Sun. night/Mon. morning really. He worked from 3:30 AM-7:00 AM. He works the same shift later tonight. He takes his laptop, any work he has to do, snacks and a drink. He said that he slept from 11-3 the last time, so he was ready to go at 3:30.

Susan, glad that your dad is out of the hospital. Keep up posted on the kitty. Hugs for you!!

Guess what I did tonight? I visited a new WW chapter here in the town where we moved last winter. Tonight was their 3rd meeting. I thought I'd just go visit. I walked in the door, and the leader was the leader that I loved years and years ago!! We ran to each other and hugged and cried. She was there for me when I lost my parents, and about the same time, she lost her sister. We've been through a lot together. Anyway, I rejoined WW for the zillionth time. I bought a 10-week package thing. Hopefully that will get me going in the right direction. Bob isn't home, so he doesn't even know that I joined!!

I ran with DH last night. Ran the whole mile and a half. It took forever. I felt good when I was done. :running:

Tammy, I think that is neat that you found your leader/friend. I know you will do really well. :cheer2:

I like my leader, but last night I was very upset. I stepped on the scale and she looked at the scale and hugged me and said 'You're still here'. I just wish she really understood my frustration. I have now lost a total of 1 pound since July. I didn't stick around, I couldn't muster up any support, I went to my car and cried. I always stay to cheer everyone else on. Last night I was being very selfish. :(

Hi, all!

Dee, congrats to Tim about job!
Susan, glad Dad's doing better & hope kitty's doing okay?
Tammy, hope you're feeling better, too, and how great to run into an old friend.

Football's over and sonny-boy was rewarded with a massage and a chiro adjustment for his poor, aching body.

We're having problems with his dad. Apparently, the belt was used during last visit and now the county's involved. I haven't been so stressed in forever, and feels like the stitches are unraveling. ::big deep breath:: Yoga, which I started in the morning on Monday, is helping, but on days that I miss (yesterday and today) I'm strung out, stressed, and irritible. Guess I have to keep doing it! That, & I missed the last two weigh-ins, I've been very bad, and gained back the three pounds. ARRRRAVHGHGHHTHAHFDSHFDS!!!!!!
