Hi all!
Wii fit told me I lost 2.9lbs and the body fat is down slightly.
I was quite surprised since I didn't do much -- just walked 2x and I had lunch out 4x this week.

Well, hubby's health is truly declining. There's a referral being processed for a MS center in the city for testing, possible in-patient admission. Sigh.... that's all I can do. And I don't do city driving...so there's a problem.

My mindset continues to be one day at a time, one day at a time....

Tonight the car club is having their holiday dinner. Looking forward to going... time to take the purple girl out for a spin.

evenin' all...just returned from my wrestling trip...what a long day...I'm tired. have not seen any of my family, and they are in bed already for another hunt day tomorrow.

my appt w/therapist went ok. I have been babying my arm enuf so that when she went to do some ROM, I teared up a little. I felt like a big baby. geez. I have to go twice a week, take more Ibuprophen, do some exercises at home, use ice, work at keeping my shoulders back, and cannot do anything that requires me to lift my arm above my shoulders (nothing overhead) she said my muscles were tight and that there is inflammation/heat in it. Not sure if it is a stretched tendon, or a slight tear. If I am not better in 2 weeks, I have to go back to Dr. She used ultrasound on it and then the best part, she massaged it....it was wonderful, and she did it deep enuf to get my muscle knot, cept that is not the one bothering me right now...anyway, even if my shoulder does not get better, I still get a decent massage.

good job ladies on the losses this week. my mind is not in it, for sure.
thinking of you all, have a good weekend ((hugs))

Morning Pepper's,
Had a very busy last week and week end. Dont feel like I am getting anything done. But even with my monthly no gain/ no loss. I am maintaning well. Now need to loose a few. Not exercising but not eating like I was either. Glad to see some losses this week the rest of us will get there. Holiday's are tough it is not just one day its like months, I will be glad when December is over and can get back to regular stuff. I am so behind in my tax class and have a llve one this saturday, so I really need to catch up.

Well work is very busy they are giving us so many dumb spreadsheets to keep track of but what can you do it is a job. Cant wait to start my second job Jan. 1st and get some extra cash to pay up some dental bills :grumble: but mouth does feel better :bigsmile:

Well back to work will chat later.

PlumCrazyGirl

jacque509

Hey all,
sorry i been dealing with alot of stuff around here. Anyway money really tihgt so i am out looking for a second job to make ends meet. Not really focusing on the diet or exercise. just trying to make smart choices. Will catch up later

PlumCrazyGirl

Jacque - boy do I understand. I have a full time job plus work one weekend a month. Right now, it's the attorney fees for my custody/child support issue that's kicking my behind.

Ladies -- Today, surprise surprise surprise. One of our young officers stated it looks like I'm losing weight, getting thinner. I thanked her but personally I don't see it. I see the "mommy pouch" and recall how my jeans were not zipping up well last week.

Hope all is well with you.

HI Pepper's,
Checking in real quick. Very crazy day again, I think it will be crazy until the holiday is over. Doing ok with foods no exercise but no time right now. Will check back later.:bigsmile:

kelly_a

decorated my tree, but just noticed right in the middle of it there are lights out :grumble: well, it's hump day, yeah. I have physical therapy tomorrow, and a wrestling trip.

each day this week, I have logged my breakfst. a couple of days I have done the entire day. so far, all days have been way over calories, too much salt, too much sugar, and too much fat. noticing my clothes are getting tighter, and can feel the back fat returning. and my stomach is bloated. I am very upset with myself. I have all the time in the world and I don't exercise. there is plenty of healthy food, and I choose not to eat that. need to get my name on the organ transplant list for a new "mind". just can't seem to figure this out anymore and tired of the cycle.

how's everyone else doing?

PlumCrazyGirl

Hang in there Kelly. I purchased a big container of spice drops for a new cookie recipe. Ended up eating the whole container. Thankfully, not in one sitting....

Bal- I understand about the attorney fees.

My husband and I are fighting for full permanent guardianship for Ody. He is my step son but I love him as if were mine. My husband has had full custody for the last 13 years but because of Ody's disabilities he needs a guardian. For the last almost 11 years, I have taken care of him 45 weeks out of 52 a year. I don't understand why his birth mother (BM) is contesting us being his guardians. We know him better than she does. I am worried that she might get more visitation then what she has now. I don't handle sharing Ody very well. It is the main reason I struggle with depression during Christmas time and during the summer. BM gets Ody 1 week at Christmas and 6 weeks during the summer. We go to court on Dec. 22 so hopefully the judge will rule in our favor shortly after that.

On top of the guardianship battle, my husband might be changing jobs which means moving to the DC area in January. Just what I need is trying to look for apartments and pack with a crawling baby during the holiday seasons. I had asked Zan, the baby, not to start crawling until February but he didn't listen. I see he has his father ears. I hope everyone has a great night.

so far I have done well with food today. wanted to get a walk in, but instead I wrapped about 45# deer burger w/dh, visited w/my mom, finished decorating for Xmas and then dusted some. now off to therapy, then get ready for route & wrestling trip. hey, it is 28* now, if it doesn't get too chilly I can walk the streets where I'm going...only if there is NO ice. really trying hard to keep the binges under control. meal by meal, hour by hour...focused on the moment only. have a good Thursday friends, will try to check in later after my trip.

MissVitaVonCherry

All it looks as if mostly all of us are in a holiday slump right now! Ran around with the kids yesterday with my head cut off got a litle tree and decorated it. Having issues with the hubby getting orders and if we do t get choosen for some soo. Then we will be SOL and have to get orders to where the navy needs him which won't be pretty. I'm a grinch during Christmas anyways because I do t enjoy it but being alone makes it worst. Dyeing for bad for me food and not logging anythig isn't helping BUT tomorrow I'm gonna get on that scale again for a new start.......again...... Got practice tonight so I'll log that and get going again and hopefully reevaluate my goals and make them more realistic for now. Hope yu all have a better day then I -V

hey shgp's...I agree Vita....we've all had some sort of *issue* recently, and life can sure be unfair and ugly at times. I know with all the love and support I feel from you ladies, it keeps me goin', and even an occ'l kick in the *kitten*, which I need more often then not. I can't imagine some of the things you all deal with. Just never know what's gonna happen. Somehow we manage and in the end I just know each of you are stronger b/c of it. I hold you all close to my heart and keep you in my daily prayers...this team is a blessing to me

I'm kinda surprised at myself this evening...I finally had a pretty decent food day. I rec'd a Xmas pkg in the mail today from The Popcorn Factory! From a long time friend in WA. Every single item had a nutritional label. So, I had me 1 1/2 serv of the white cheddar popcorn, and even stayed within calories. youngest son had a little can of honey roasted peanuts, and dh had some chocolate/pecan cookies. Everything has tasted great so far! Other popcorn flavors yet to eat, candy, chocolates, mints. Cool gift.

My temptations today were 1) the 5 bags of chips in the cupboard. 2) my son's 2 boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. 3) a brownie mix wanting to be baked...I was even going to drizzle it wtih caramel and chopped pecans. 4) the entire concession stand at the wrestling meet. 5) leftover (baked) french fries from last nites supper. It's kinda enlightening how I still know all this at the end of my day....but none of it was related to any actual physical hunger. Understanding all the nasty emotions *why* will hopefully shed some light on my food addiction. I'm still searching...
