Hi ladies
Judy - I went to Brandeis Univ. after high school and had my eyes opened to a lot of Jewish culture I'd never been aware of. I kinda miss it, in a way. Especially the holidays
Grats on your loss.
Lisa - congrats on your losses, you are an inspiration.
Hello to all you new folks!
I'm sorry I havent written in so long. You can tell I havent been very accountable when I don't at least stopin and say hi once a week. I've been struggling so much with everything. Lately I feel there's no aspect of my life that is even calm, much less under control. I know part of it is the miscarriage. I've been very down and overly sensitive since then. I keep trying to boost myself back up and get motivated, but I feel sad and unsure about the future.
Work is superstressful, my relationship is rocky, his kids and my kids are wearing me out. Financially we had some real problems in the last month. To give you an idea, my ex is so far behind on his child support, he now owes us almost $5000. Between that and our cars BOTH breaking down its been horrible, I've had to go into cooking whatever is cheapest, which is not often what is best for you. I stopped counting points, but I've done so the last few days.. so I'm doing better. I regained 5 pounds, which has really upset me even more. I know I'm not trying.
So to be accountable, So far I have eaten 11.5 points out of my new 31 target. I have drank 5 waters so far today and eaten one veggie. I'm having a veggie for snack when I get home with a glass of milk. Some vegetarian chili and a vegetable for dinner with some cheese for more dairy. As long as I only eat my popcorn snack after dinner, I'll come in around 29 points. I'll have all my water, enough veggies, and enough dairy for the first time in awhile.
Hope everyone is having an easier time.. I know the first step to turning this around is having one complete day on plan, followed by another and another.
