    Hi everyone,
    Well I am back to work, needed to be for insurance and money. Not really physically ready to be here but its a must,
    B-Sorry for all ur going thru, having same issues with my sis. Boy they can really make you feel like $%^&& if they want to. I will be praying for ya
    So trying to refoucus and get motivated again. Going to go by the gym and walk tonight. Can't really do anything upper torso, but maybe I wont feel so run down.
    Well I weight in at 247 this weekend. Not really dieting but for some reason the stress is getting to me. normally I would have a food binge but not this time. i ate all the wrong crap just not much of it. Weird. Well going to try and get on the bandwagon here. Write more later, got a lot of work to catch up on. Thanks for all the prayers K

    Jacque- Glad to see back. I hope get better soon. :flowerforyou: It sucks that you have to be back to work before you are ready. I always feel good after going to the gym. Hope it will help you to get motivated and refocused.

    Barb- It is family that can hurt us the most sometimes.:flowerforyou: My sister is my best friend and we usually get along well but it is my brothers that causes me grief.It is amazing how insensitive family can be.

    Kelly- My weekend was filled with junk food, too and no exercise. Today is going to be better. I already have my exercise in for the day and now to work on the hard part - eating better. :drinker: Here is to eating better.

    Sindy & Vita- Hope things are going well for you. :smile:


    Have a great day SHGP"s!:smile:

    the last 2 weekends I have not done my planned exercise. I either need to make it happen or not plan for it at all. bums me. if I keep with the Shred for the next 7 days, I will have completed 30 days, tho not consecutive as planned. I want to measure when completed, however depending where I'm at cycle wise, it may have to wait. Inches have been lost as my clothes are fitting better. need to walk this am as rain is expected later. Have a healthy day ladies.

    So before 10am, I did the 45 minute zumba class and then the 5k -- which I walked. My roommate wants to try kickboxing so guess where I'll be today.

    I'm going to do my best not to eat all kinds of food. I tend to stick to the German (love their cake) and the Philipian

    Hi ladies! I have been thinking of you guys. I have been busy getting ready for our vacation tomorrow. I am trying to clean the house and get things together to pack. Our plane leaves at 7 AM tomorrow (Friday). I think we will take the metro rail to airport so we have to leave our house at 4:30 AM. Zan will be the only one who will want to be up at that hour. He is such an early raiser. I will be gone until June 26 so if I am not on very much for the next 10 days you will know why. I will try to weigh before I leave for the airport. May not post it until later though. I am hoping for a loss this week. Next week it will be hard because I am not going to be home.

    Kelly- Yeah for the partial workout yesterday! How did your ball game turn out? I hope your team won. :)

    Barb- Hang in there things will get better. I have mixed feelings for lawyers. We spent close $10,000 in lawyer fees trying to get legal guardianship for Ody my stepson. He is worth very penny and I am glad things turned out fairly well for us. We had to give my husband's ex-wife more time with Ody but we maintained primary guardianship. When you do you kickboxing class picture your ex. It may make you feel better; it did me. I found when I did any aerobics class that had punching or kicking picturing my husbands ex I made me work harder. My husband thinks I need anger management classes. I think exercising works just as well as (long as I exercise) and is cheaper.

    Jacque- I hope you are recovering well.

    Sindy & Vita - Thinking of you guys and hope things are going well for you.

    I have to do laundry now so I can finish packing. I will probably not checking until tomorrow. Have a great day SHGP!!:smile:

    afternoon folks...busy day here. started in my bedroom going thru clothes, getting my summer things more accessible. came across some clothes I had worn in the late 80's early 90's. WOW. a few things fit, mostly tops, but the shorts and jeans...forget it. hard to believe I once wore them. geesh. did my exercise in 2 different segments today...which is ok, however I get a bigger cal burn if I do it all at once, since my heart rate is up. push mowed for 35 minutes, so I was pretty active today...which means I get to eat more! :bigsmile: still have soooo much yard work to do . UGH!

    Angie, you headed to Wisc? have a great vacation and fun time with family. What a special time! I watched my nephew play and they won, now tonite I will be watching my niece. going with my mom and dad, and will see my sis. last weeks game I ended up with 4-5 bites on the top of my foot (same foot that blistered in Las Vegas) I even had socks on:huh: foot is taking a beating this spring/summer.

    looks like we might have a stretch of rainy weather starting. nothing planned this weekend for Father's day..but I know my oldest will be home from his college job. :smooched: we're gonna grill, have sweet corn, BLT's...all my fav's! not sure I will be planning exercise for the next week....rain/storms/TOM.

    ok, have a good evening everyone! good luck at the scale tomorrow!:drinker:

    Hi everyone...
    Such a busy few days. Some good news & some bad news.

    Friday - small victory - Judge ruled in my favor - so my ex is not getting additional child support money. Small bad news there's termites in my garage caused by US priority mail boxes Dave put in the garage. I'm thankful he did give me the cash to pay for the treatment. Thankful if I didn't refinance the house I would have not learned of the termites then it would have been years before I learned. Then it would have been lots of money to treat & repair.

    Social invitations I am not turning down - so on Saturday I went to two parties. Had a great day.

    Sunday was moving his crap out of garge and into the shed. And crap to the curb for Friday's trash day.

    Sunday I didn't eat well... basically the sweets/bread from MRE (meals ready to eat). This is food military serves in field enviroments. I tossed all the meal compoments but kept the desserts, some of the breads, nuts, granola. Basically the items I liked.

    ended up going shopping w/my sons Saturday..and lunch @ Pizza Ranch. Bad eating continued the rest of the day. Sunday went to the farm watched dh and sons fish the pond then visted in-laws. next visited my parents and had supper there...indulged. no the eating wasn't good, but worse, no exercise happened...ALL weekend. dh works 5 days then he is off until after the 4th of July. this was when we were to go to Canada w/in-laws, and not now, so hopefully we can get some projects done here at home. have a good day ladies.

    We made it to Wisconsin safe and sound on Friday. We spent the weekend with my in laws. DRAMA!! My Brother-in-law who has had an affair on and off for the last 4-5 years (with the same woman) invited her to the family get together on Saturday. He separated from his wife only about 3 months ago. It was too soon to bring her to a family gathering. Zan had a blast playing with his cousins though. I am now at my sister house and we are having a great time hanging out. I hope you guys are doing well. I will check in tomorrow. Have a great night! :)

    Kelly - let's see I will need garage overhead locks changed, of course we'll be going through his stuff to determine what is trash & what is yard sale item, then we can clean the gutters on my small rancher, the outdoor faucet needs replacing, new screens in a few windows (cuz the kids ripped them to sneak out of house), house needs power washing, and the list goes on and on.

    Angie - what family doesn't have DRAMA. I agree 3 months is too soon. But who the heck am I?

    funny, some of this we just did here as well...ds FINALLY cleaned his bedroom b/c he went to change his sheets and found a couple dead Asian beetles under his bed. (he HATES BUGS:noway: ) I mean he tore his entire room apart, basically emptied it out, vacuumed and dusted every thing. I was surprised. Now, we have stuff he is not keeping or wants to store in 2 different rooms :ohwell: dh power washed the west side of our house Sat since it didn't get done last year...the garage needs it next. we had the screened gutter covers put on a couple of years ago, well worth it. Our neighbor has trees growing in hers. It's a chore I know.

    Angie..glad you're having a good time with family. Agree, thirdly, too soon to have woman at family gathering. my BIL did the same thing a couple of years ago (family reunion).

    having troubles getting my laptop to turn ON today. I've tried everything. Nothing. using old desktop now...hate the keyboard. will be watching my niece play softball in a couple hours.

    Hi all,
    Well trying to get focus. Watch extreme makeover last night and it really got me thinking. So yesterday I did ok food wise but no activity. So today i got up and went to the gym. I did 18 minutes on the elipical and boy was I winded. So tomorrow goal is to get pass 20 mins. I am working myself up to 30 mins. Then will try to go in the eveing and do weights. I have been letting everything get in the way and now I got to stop and focus on me a little. So I weight in at 250 today so thats up since the first of the month but considering I havent been doing anything I am really glad it only 3 pounds, cause normally it would been alot more. When I get a chance I will try to catch up on the thread and see whats been going on. Got to get to work, talk later

    mornin' ladies....trying to shake this funk and find motivation. eating isn't too bad, and noticing I really don't have an appetite, know that exercise would help. and if I would have kept with the Shred, I would have been able to measure for the 30 days and be on Level 2. bummed. can't seem to shake family issue thoughts.

    Unsure if my eating habits are whacked; not enough water; not enough exercise or TOM -- up again this week.
    171.8 and bodyfat went up

    The exodus of his items has begun. He was there on Tuesday to take a few pick up truck loads and the dog. He'll be there today for more items.. Then on Saturday for hopefully the rest. It's amazing how empty my 2 car garage looks now. I like it!

    picking up and cleaning the house today. the last 2 days we've had water issues. Tuesday off about 4 hours, yesterday 10. couldn't do dishes, laundry. I even had to tap into the guys drinking water/frigerated..and it was almost empty to begin with. once it was back on, I worked non stop. Not sure if it was water main break or leaks. the guys said the road was closed at the end of our block. never had this happen before, but man, water IS necessary. makes one respect this resource. I'm bettin' I'm gonna have a gain this week. TOM started last Friday, and I'm not even to the heavy days yet. I'm really leaning towards partial hysterectomy now.

    Barb ~ that was so nice of you to clean roommates car. I feel like that too...don't wanna get it dirty. how is your foot doing today? the only time I wear my shoes when I exercise is when I walk or jog. I have tried to wear them during the shred, other cardio DVD's, floor exercises, etc, and I CANNOT. of course this is always on carpet and that might have something to do with my shoes and feeling like a klutz! I just feel more mobile. the last time I tried to wear them I pulled some muscles.

    how's everyone else doing?

    With the combat boots and custom made orthodics - all is ok at work. The real test will be once home & not wearing the boots.

    The roommate is cleaning the house today. Not that it's bad or anything... she just likes to mop floors and do other cleaning. So, be it. Her attitude to car cleaning is similiar to mine prior to the Plum Crazy. My ride did change my mindset on how to maintain cleaniness on a car as well as what products to use.

    Roommate was going to wash her car's exterior w/dish detergent and the interior (console, dash board, etc) with Spic and Span..... NOOOOOOO........ I heard that and said, I'll do your car for you. Plus I had a new car cleaning tool & I wanted to test it out on her car. (Hey, I'm no fool!).

    It's hot at work. A/C hasn't been working. Tomorrow is building beautification day. Great, I dislike my own yardwork & now I gotta do yardwork at work too!

    Talk to you soon.
