Morning Pepper's,
Hope you had a great turkey day. Had a very stressful day. Had to deal with fighting family members but we all made it throught the day with out mean words. I did get a call and today is my friends wake and tomorrow the funeral very upset the way they are doing it I dont think if is fare that her sister who was fighting with her before she died is in control of everything she is in the cheapest funeral home and they are creamating her instead, so there will be no body to say good bye to. I was able to say my good byes at hospital right before but a log of her friends did not make it to hospital. I am trying to remember it is just a shell now but very hard.

I did jump on the scale this morning because I am down I did not eat bad yesterday and I am the same weight 191. No gain no loss, Today I am having another dinner so my DH will be joining us this time then I get to go to the wake. All her friends will be there so I am very happy about that.

Well hope everyone has a loss today, I will be busy for rest of day but wanted to check in with my friends. Love you all have a great day.

Hi all... figured out why I couldn't get wii controller to work. The sensor wasn't on top of the tv. Of course, my 12 year old had to explain that to me.

So, today, I'm up 1.7 from my last wii weigh in. I'm at 171.5. I'm ok despite what I had to eat/drink while in Alexandria VA and the lack of exercise.

I'm still feeling blah..... even though I'm not at my heaviest weight, two of my jeans were very tight on me this week. Couldn't button or zip up.

Need to go to grocery store... no desire to do so....

Morning Peppers,
well glad holiday is over I cooked full turkey dinner thursday and friday, we have a family member who is fighting with my DH and had two dinners to keep them apart.

Thank you for the great support. I was very close to my friend and met all of her family in the last few days. She talked about them all the time so I felt like I knew all of them. I guess she also talked about most of her friends to the close family members. I was very up set they creamated her and some people did not get to say their peace, The memorial is today at her church, and I plan on getting most of the numbers so I can keep in touch, the one niece is wonderful and i really want to keep in touch we hit it off the day I was at the hospital.

Can say I was totally good yesterday will be good today in hopes of a loss next week. Well lots to do, it feels like I should be back to work not used to so many days off in a row,.
Will check back..

hope you are doing well everyone.

oldest son returned to college yesterday am ( I was not expecting this ) He had to work black Friday ( Finish Line ) then he works for the college at sporting events in the dome for volleyball and football playoffs. In a couple of weeks he will be back home for the holidays :smooched:

youngest son is pretty much over the worse part of his cold, but the cough is still nasty. he took OTC meds, did breathing treatments and pushed the fluids...all on his own.

dh....pshhh. he acts like he needs to be admitted to the hospital. I know he feels miserable, but seriously? everything I offered to make him to eat, no. he was on the couch all day, mostly sleeping...all the while coughing, blowing his nose, shivering, 'take my temp', get me meds...blah, blah, blah. I guess I am just thinking of all the cleaning I am gonna have to do...and still waiting to catch it myself Tis the season? Oh, and since we didn't bake a turkey, he wants me to get one for us to do? Not with all this virus here! :grumble:

Next weekend they will all be deer hunting...so I guess it is better they have all been sick. And if I get it, well, I will have peace and quiet..cept for Saturday, my wrestling (bus) starts.

Otherwise, I feel pretty good. did wake around 4ish with a panic attack trying to form. Thankfully, I was able to stop it and fall back asleep. Still not eating very well, and I am getting so stiff from not exercising. Too much sitting around.

Take care and have a good one! :flowerforyou:

kelly_a

put up some holiday decor outside today..kinda nice...bout 50*. need to work on some laundry and get supper goin. gonna try hard to have a better week...diet, exercise and water goals. enjoy your Sunday evening.

PlumCrazyGirl

Ladies, it was the worst case of PMS I have ever had...... even today, I spendt most of it.... reading....
On the flip side, I'm halfway done the last book in theTwilight Saga.

Back to the grind Monday.. blah.

sindyb9

Morning Pepper's,
Well everything is done and moving on. Have to jump in with both feet this week I really have been eating, but no exercise this week will be hard to get back on track but should prove to be a better week from last week.

Well back to work normal schedule. :drinker: Getting ready for tax season. Check back later.

PlumCrazyGirl

It's cold in my building. Heat was turned off for the long weekend. Maybe tomorrow, the building will be warmer. I am soo glad I purchased a lightweight black blanket for here.
It's wrapped around my legs.

kelly_a

hi ladies....rain and windy here today. Well, it has happened, again. I have slacked off the exercise so much that I am totally out of shape. I feel stiff in the am, and by early eve I am very achy. For some reason when I get to this stage, one of my arms, hands will fall asleep, usually while sleeping. Fingers get cold on one hand. And, proof, my b/p was 130/90 this am. Not good. I noticed yesterday while outside I was kinda out of breath. My face feels bloated and I look very tired, eating too much salt and processed food. Belly bloat, jiggly bat wings, and some dimpling (cellulite) on my legs. Well, if that doesn't just make me feel like I need to do something with myself. Need to get going again here....and keep it going.

Goin to Dr tomorrow for R shoulder pain. Injured it while opening a window on the bus, either in Sept or Oct. Figured it was just a sore muscle...now I am not sure. Been over 6 weeks, and I suppose it hasn't helped that I open and close the bus door 60+ times a day.

Catch ya all later. Hope you have a good one!

jacque509

Mrning all.
Sorry no imput yesterday had to go to mediation with the ex on child support and it put me in one foul mood needless to say. So Today I will try to eat better and start exercising again

Morning Pepper's,
Well started new today (like I haven't done this over and over again), I logged my food for the first time for like a month, I need to get back on track before Christmas or I will start to gain. So here I am again. It is what it is, starting over is not that bad, just extra energy. Tax season is creaping up on me so I have to get going on that.

Come on Kelly we can do this. Hope everyone is doing well. Check back later when it slows down.

kelly_a

afternoon mfp friends...went to Dr. then had to go for xray...no fractures. that is good. I start physical therapy Fri. hopefully that will be all that is necessary. Dr. mentioned something about cortisone shots the next step...and then she said that usually doesn't work. she said the physical therapist will be able to tell if I am improving or not, if I need to be off work or not, and if I need an MRI, sooner vs later?? ok. I don't think it is THAT bad. Dr said I might have stretched some tendons, etc. it really doesn't feel muscular related, but I am sure limited in mobility and certain positions/angles. On the way home I got some fast food from that dang clown....:sick:

yes, Cindy...I am so ready. I feel like since it is the last day of November, I have the whole month of December to get me back on track and 'ahead of the game' by Jan1. :drinker:

Jacque ~hang in there. we're almost to hump day, and soon the weekend. we're all in this together. one day at a time.

Barb ~ Tom arrived Sunday. who knows how long he'll be around this time, hopefully not 13 days like last time. on a positive note, starting this early in the month, I should be done by Xmas....but then again, he may visit then too. have gone as short as 19 days and as long as 32 in between:grumble:

Vita ~ hope all is well in the Pacific area. love ya toots!

Good Afternoon,
Kelly I hear you, Tom is expected around the 6ths, already feeling bloated. Just in case you have never had a cortizone shot they hurt while having it and the pain is worst for the next couple of days too. Bet they did not tell you that. so lots of people think it helped but you just feel the relief of the shot pain :noway: I have had it in my lower back and shoulder, I wont let them do it again I could hardly move after ended up calling out sick for a few days. I like to put heat on the sore musles then stretch a little.

Ok the new month is on, no fast food, exercise drink my water, today was a good start had my veggies for lunch, good breakfast, now to be good when I get home. Its always there I tend to destroy my whole days work.

Well almost 5PM ready for bed it has been a long busy stressful workday. Check back tomorrow. :bigsmile:

Hi Ladies! I have missed you guys. Things have been extremely busy since I had the baby in May. He is almost 7 months now. He is starting to crawl and get into everything.

PlumCrazyGirl

Hi Angie -- Welcome back.
Was thinking of you recently.

Ladies, I thought my breakfast would be fascinating, tasty, engerizing for the day....
Got a larger sweet potato -- cut into big pieces. Dotted a little butter on it.... Sprinkled some cinnamon.
Microwaved the potato at work..... blah.... not the excitement I was hoping for. And it's easily 3 cups of it. Maybe if I added brown sugar but none of that at work.

Sigh, here I was hoping to do the right thing.....

Seems we're all challenged again one way shape or form.

Barb

PlumCrazyGirl

Had to ditch the sweet potato.... went to the lunch (rice/ground beef/green beans) I've had in office fridge for 2 days.
Today, another individual asked me to lunch w/them.

Talk soon.

Happy Wednesday and 1st day of December team!! I don't know about the rest of you, but gonna try to do my best this last month of 2010. I'm going to set goals and try to get back on track.

Feeling a bit motivated today...gosh, could it be my no-care attitude (funk) is finally passing? Anyway, it is encouraging. Still tho, thoughts consume me as to 'why' I am still trying to lose wt, when I was determined and all gung ho to lose wt and be at goal...a yr ago, even 18 mos ago. ?? In the almost 2 yrs I have been here, all I have to do is look back at all my weigh ins, food & exercise logs and be able to tell if I was 'in or out' of my funk. I still have yet to learn why this happens. I'm hopeful, the longer I keep doing this, the easier it will get. I will someday not stress about it, or stress thinking about it. Someday, it will become part of my daily life...plain and simple. Huh? Ha. Seriously, I realize if I don't do what I know is the best for me, I feel lost mentally...my day suffers. I know I can accomplish anything if I want it bad enuf. So, if I'm not getting to my goals, well I guess I don't want it bad enuf. It's mine for the taking....and doing. I'll prob be here, always...not leaving. This site, when I am faithful, is a huge part of my success. You all give me so much support...so thankful. God is good.

HI Angie!! So great to hear from you!! Missed you very much. Look at your boys...how sweet!!
Barb ~ yum sweet tater's! dh has to have butter, marshmellows and brown sugar on his. :noway:
Cindy ~ I'm hoping the cortisone shot isn't suggested. I'll prob decline it. I'm going to also ask the therapist about 'knots' in my shoulders. Someone told me it could be from the bus ( opening and closing the door, repetitive/jarring action ) I have good days and bad days with them. It's like this last year, my body is falling apart...:ohwell:
Jacque & Vita ~ thinking of you's....love and hugs

Have a good day ladies.

PlumCrazyGirl

Kelly -- just a thought since I handle worker's compensation --- have you considered filing a worker's compensation claim for a long term injury (repetitive moments). I can only speak to my worker's compensation program... I'm not familiar w/private sector.
Now if you were a federal employee, I would have all kinds of suggestions for you.

Was asked out to lunch today...... So, that's 3 days in a row, someone wanted me to have lunch w/them. Gee, I must be popular now! Today was an actual sit down wait staff take order place -- compared to fast food. Today was an irish pub/resturant. As soon as I saw the platter size, I asked for a take home box.

back to work! blah....

Afternoon Pepper's,
Well today has been ok. I got a 15 min walk in, the train went express and had to get off and wait for the next one. it was one stop away from my regular so I got off and walked. :drinker: I am by myself today boss is at a meeting and wow had clients greet me at the door with issues with the wireless internet, had to get them on land lines put tickets into tech support, very crazy morning. No lunch when I am by myself but its ok I bring lunch with me and I get to leave early another day so I do go into overtime with my hours. Tight budget.

Kelly glad you are getting out of your funk. I think even when I reach my goal which I will I will still keep in touch with all of you. We all support each other and that is what friends do. :bigsmile:

Barb take home box great idea, I know sometimes they give way to much food. I like sweet potatoes mashed with butter mmmmmmm

Angie nice seeing you are doing well.

Vita and Jacque hope you are doing well :flowerforyou:

Well back to work, check back later.

PlumCrazyGirl
