    I'm sorry Momma that you have all this happening at once. Sometimes being a mom can be the hardest job in the world because we worry so much. It will all work out in the end, but getting through today is the tough part. Hang in there! I'm thinking of you! :cry: :flowerforyou:



    thanks:flowerforyou:

    Oh Momma, I can't begin to understand what you're going through with your kids, but I'm here for you if you need anything. :flowerforyou: If there's one thing I *do* understand, it's emotional eating. I was coming to the boards right now to try and fight off the urge to binge and completely wreck my progress as well as to vent some of my emotional stress right now, too.

    The girls are right, you CAN get through this, because you're strong and capable. I have every faith in you! They're also right about getting moving - go take a walk and enjoy some fresh air and take 30 minutes for yourself to get back into a more positive headspace.

    Momma - I pray today is a better day for you!

    Checking in for yesterday:
    calories: a little over
    exercise: 35 minutes on elliptical and some ab work
    water: better (diet dr. pepper issue & boredom at work)
    proud: All evenging things cancelled due to weather and I still went to the gym.

    I think I'll join LaDeb with checking in for a change. :tongue:

    Calories: 1908 -- fine with me. Should be a few hundred under maintenance.
    Exercise: 33 minute walk
    Water: Strangely not as good as usual. I was just so tired of peeing so I think I only got about 8 cups all day. :laugh:
    Proud: I exercised 3 days in a row. And then I realized there really isn't any reason I can't be walking at work every day (as long as it's under 85 degrees outside).

    Today I'm planning to walk outside on my lunch break AND go to the gym. :drinker: And even if I don't make it to the gym for some reason, at least I'll get 30+ minutes of exercise in for the day.

    I shall check in for yesterday, too (it doesn't end well)

    Calories... oh so over. Damn you, Ben and Jerry!
    Water..... 64 ounces... which is about 62 more than i got the day before
    Exercise... nada. Crap.
    Proud... I'm going to be proud of my interview yesterday.

    I have been in MAJOR mood swing mode this week.... ate an entire pint of ice cream... gaining weight left and right (well... not losing weight, anyhow). What the heck is my problem!??!

    Oh.... TOM is a freakin' week early. At least I have an explanation to the insanity. I was beginning to think I was losing it!

    Goals for today: Eat well. Take Gunner for a walk. Get out of the house by myself.

    I am here if only briefly.... I was Ryan's one to one aid again today. Didn't make a great choice for lunch but it will not sabotage my entire day if I am good from this point on..... See you all later.

    I'm here! I went for a 2 mile walk on my lunch break & plan to go to the gym after work. Yep, that's me exercising 4 days in a row! :drinker:
  • Posts: 567 Member
    No loss for me this week... not surprising considering my crazy week (and surprise TOM).

    Happy Friday anyway!

    Calories: 2018 -- good -- 800 calorie deficit (:noway:)
    Exercise: 30 minute walk; 25 minutes elliptical; 20 minutes spin bike
    Water: 104oz
    Proud: I walked at lunch... AND went to the gym after work! :bigsmile:

    Teresa.........0...........0%
    Julie............+0.4.......(doesn't count anyway :wink:)

    I'm up .4 from last Friday but down .4 from Tuesday so I'm happy. I've had about a 1700 calorie deficit since then so that's about spot on what I should've lost! Woot! Baby should be gaining 1/3-1/2 pound each week lately so I have to be happy about gaining only 1/2 a pound each week from here on out. If I can keep it to that, I'll have gaind 33 pounds with this pregnancy by 40 weeks. I'd be very happy with that considering how much I gained the first 20 weeks.

    LOL he's already met most of my family when they were here for my sisters wedding. If we stay till Monday he wants to go deep sea fishing with my Dad. That scares me. The two of them together all day. Lord help me!

    I'm here -- just not much to say. I was super great all last week & super bad all weekend & I'm paying the price last night & today. :sick: Plus it's cold & rainy today (coldest it's been here in like 2 months) so I have a bit of a case of the Mondays.

    I'm here. I'm a little disappointed with myself for having a bad weekend - we went out to eat 3 times and I went overboard on the carbs. I really wanted to reach 15 pounds lost by my 12th and last nutritional weight and wellness class tomorrow night, and I definitely could have done it since I reached 14 pounds lost on 3/18 ... but since then I have been slacking off and I'm not going to be able to do it by tomorrow since the scale is saying I have actually gained 4 pounds since 3/18. I don't think I really have gained that much that isn't water weight - but probably 1 or 2. I am going to get back on track today and I will have to work hard on keeping up the motivation to keep going even though my class is over.
  • Posts: 567 Member
    Sounds like we all had 'bad' weekends. I'm SIX.. yep... SIX pounds up from last Monday. YIKES!!!

    And now I have to go find something to wear for my second interview. Not very good conditions for trying on clothes, but oh well :)

    hello girls, just wanted to drop in and say hey.

    This is the last week, and i swear i don't know if i will make it to thursday.

    We got a call on friday that there was an issue and the money we were oging to get for paying our lease out isn't going to happen cause of a mistake the realtor made. So we have to just reduce the sales price of that amount and now w ehave to get the money from our ira ..they are supposed to be re-working the apprasial and the underwriting today , i just soo nervous about this all.

    once we get moved i am going to be back I SWEAR with a vengance too!! I packed the scale about to weeks ago and i am terriified to get back on it, honestly i feel like i am back over 300 lbs, i am sure i am not but not anticpating anything very pretty...but once we get moved i am starting fresh no looking back of what i did wrong (cause i know what i did wrong).

    I have this huge knot in my stomach right now and i m hoping thursday i will feel lots better.
