Hi ladies....
It was a food fest yesterday in the building. Damn sweets..... they always get me.
Tomorrow my military unit is having their holiday dinner.

I will admit Christmas does depress me. Began to hit in first marriage when ex didn't think the day was a big deal. Subsided some when the kids were little. Hit again first Christmas post divorce. This year I'm struggling. Thankful Dave offered to buy stuff for kids. they may not want to since all they want is money.

very surprised I'm down 4.6 this week, only one good food day.

day started off bad...my bus broke down while doing my am route. About 13 kids on and about 1/2 way done. About 25*, so not too bad. It completely died on me. Sup said computer burned up, fried! The spare they are having me drive is my former bus..I am so thrilled! I am going to tell my sup I am serious about wanting it back! Immediately I felt a difference, with my shoulder, back, neck. Wow! It is 10 yrs old, but it does not leak dust, does not have tinted windows (which I hate, makes it too dark and is depressing), does not vibrate, and the door opens so much MORE easier. I was so happy that when I got home I cleaned the inside, windows, floor, dash, ceiling...etc. And our spare buses can be so, so gross. yes, my poor, old bus. Ok, crazy me, enuf on that.

Barb ~ I miss the parties. We don't have them with the school anymore b/c of cut backs. We are having a hard time buying for our boys this year....college age, will be $$ or gift cards.

getting in the mood for some holiday baking, maybe Sunday. they are talking a nasty storm this weekend. I am to drive wrestling tomorrow, 1 hr away, leave at 6:15. I would be fine with a cancel.

have a good one friends.

Morning Pepper's,
Sorry again for not checking in for the last 3 days. I am in a horrible funk between teeth, friend passing away, Tuesday's fall down the subway stairs and not bothering to exercise or log my food, I am suprised I only gained 2.5 pounds, I weigh 193.5 was Friday's weight. But all I can say is I am thankful I can check in with you, dont know what I would do with out you. I expected to gain a couple during holidays, but I am still thinking this gain is from my monthly just got over it when I weighed in.

The ups and downs I can take. This week end I am moving on went to my tax class on saturday and it felt right and my freind would want me to keep loving it. :happy: It will be a tight Christmas but that is ok I went nuts last year.

Well very busy at work will check back later. :drinker: for the losses and we will get there on the gains. :bigsmile:

jacque509

Sorry guys been under the weather. in a lot of discomfort so havent been doing much of anything. My weight for Friday was 256, so no loss or gain. Hope to try a little harder this week but still under the weather so we will see. hope everyone is doing good

MissVitaVonCherry

Sindy- so sorry to hear about you're loss. And I can totally relate to the funk.
Jacque- hope that you get to felling better.
Here to lend a ear and heart my pepper friends;)
I felt like I at myself out of home this weekend. Not the best choices for half of it, but just mindless eating the rest. Today is a new day and it has started off slow but successful which is possitive. So with some prayer and strenght I will overcome....as will we all! So very thankful for my pepper friends.
Missing hubby a lot right now and trying to focus on being a great mother (less yelling is what I wAnt) I think I am gonna put the girls into dance or something as a Christmas present, the little one wants tap lessons so badly! They need and outlet lord knows that I am gone 3 nights a week to derby which is going very well! We had our first game aginst eachother and the community came out in numbers!!! It was great fun and now we have community support behind us! I did get Ejected from the game?!?? Lol but it was close to the end and it was because I was playing so hard and had gotten 7 penalties;) the crowd loved it! Anyhow I hope everyone has a great rest of the day and sindy we are here for you!

sindyb9

Thank you, I am here for you too. I am glad you are keeping busy. Before you know it your hubby will be back :bigsmile:

Ha ha one of my clients while I was on the phone put 3 bags of chocolates on my desk. He knows I am trying to eat healthy but I was on the phone and he wanted to let the rest of the clients have it. Well I put some in my candy dish for clients and put the rest in the draw out of my sight. I have a candy dish and a snack basket on each end of my desk and I am in the middle so I am tempted only when I look that way. Lately I just have been eating what I want. Not really over doing it just I normally dont touch it.

Well leaving for my final appointment with dentist, :drinker: and mouth is feeling better but my pocketbook is not think I am up to $300, will have to pay in January when start the other job.

Well got to finish some work up before I leave. I think we will be well on our way come 2011 this is the year we will loose, Last year I fell off way before Halloween, this year I am trying to stick with it and last year I gained 12 pounds over the holidays. This year nothing (that 2 pounds will be going before Friday:laugh:)

check back later.

Jacque, Barb, Cindy, Erica, Angie, Lynette......

hey everyone........seems to be a lot of us are going thru some difficult times here lately...makes it tough to get thru the day and feel good about anything. Can relate to the challenges and frustrations this adds in making a healthy lifestyle change. I will keep you all in my prayers and close to my heart. I am so grateful for my pepper family, you ladies mean so much to me. I hope you know I am here for you...hang in there, one day at a time.....breathe...:flowerforyou:

shoulder has been worse the last 2 days, but muscle knots have improved....could be b/c I am driving a different bus. therapist said today she thinks I have a tear since there have not been any improvements.

love and hugs to you all

Hi ladies....
Let's see the food fest continued w/a party for my military unit on Saturday night.
Today was a promotion party for my supervisor (he advanced in military rank).
Thursday is a departmental holiday party (estimates are 350 people... I'm doing the master attendee list so I'll know the final numbers).
Friday is Cub Scout Holiday party.
Saturday is Girl scout cookie exchange. Last night I made Oatmeal Spice Gum Drop cookies. Must state they are tasty...too tatsty.

Due to just last week, it's no wonder I boycotted the scale.

Going to do a jog today.

One day at a time, one day at a time.

Well still srtuggling with just surving this dday. I decided until I feel better I am just going to try and increase my walking daily. Did a whopping 3362 steps yesterday, so my goal today is to do more than that i figure if I slowly increase it everyday that gotta do somemthing right. So got a doc appointment Thursday (routine stuff) and see the specialist on next Tuesday and try to get this HS under control. If I do that then the pain will go away. I know all the stress is making it worse but cant seem to get rid of the stress. hope everyone is having a good day. check in later
Barb-Party animal u go girl
Miss V- blees u I so know how hard it is doing it alone but u r doing good and believe me they know u love them. Kudo the dance class idea
Kelly hope you start feeling better. I hope it not a tear cause that will def keep u down some esp if you have surgery.
Sindy-u doing good girl, send that chocolate my way, feeling deprived. Still trying to find a second job too so i can get my bills under control also.
Talk later

just gettin' home from my trip...wanted to check in real quick and say hi and tell you all I been thinkin of ya. doesn't look like I will get to keep driving my 'old' bus.( the one I have now ) supervisor tells me he can fix the seat in my other bus and it will put me closer to open the door....still don't like this bus. another driver said she had probs with her elbow...tendonitis, from opening her door, she is a few yrs younger than me and I have been driving a few mos longer than her....hmmmmm. shoulder was bad today. hurts to lift anything, and getting more painful to just steer my bus or car. I really hope it isn't a tear, but if that is what it is, I hope something can be done about it and soon.

gonna wind down now....bus inspection tomorrow. hang in there gang....we're all in this together.

jacque509

So did a little better last night and walked an extra mile. Still eating whatever but not as much. Went and got my son his present last night, I was so excited cause I can't wait to sse his face when he opens it. Well will try to walk more today. talk later

jacque509

So I stayed up way pass midnight and I am going to pay for it today. Got a good walk in at least. And my very first happen last night. I went to Case Ole a cheap Tex Mex restruant down here. I always eat all my food. but last night for the first time ever,ever,ever, I got full and actually took home half my food.So hope this is a new trend for me. Well got a doc appointment today. So talk to ya all later

hi all....no holiday party's here...I can celebrate very well alone...waaay out of control lately...and even when I am so full and miserable, I am still craving Chinese, Mexican, and sweets! have eaten fast food 2x this week. head fog/carb coma-ish. no energy and depressed. wanna cancel my therapy appt today, but I *have* to go. 4 more inches of snow, but very fluffy. want to shovel, but I can't. finding it harder and harder to do laundry, dishes...every day tasks. trying to use the L hand/arm more is frustrating. bus trip later today...counting down the days ( 1 week now ) for the holiday break.
