    Hey all! Hope everyone's week is getting better!

    I'm actually at work today, so that's an improvement.

    I'm starting to get really down though. Nothing is going right right now and I'm tired of it. I've been on TOM for 3 weeks now and I'm sick of that. have only lost 1 lb this whole challenge and I've actually been doing well until this weekend. I can't do anything short of walking hunched over and in pain. My pain pills make me sick, my muscle relaxers make me sleep. I'm so broke I can't believe it. It's really hard for BF to find a job when we don't have a phone, missed a great opportunity because of that last week. If we had a phone he would have started a new job yesterday. I'm exhausted, I'm stressed out and I just want to crawl in a hole until everything gets better. :sad:

    Sorry to lay this out on you guys, I just feel like I'm full to bursting with frusteration at everything that's happening.

    Thanks for listening and I really do hopethat everyone has a great week and loses lots of weight! :flowerforyou:

    Don't feel so bad....i wish there was a way i could come over there and give you a hug:frown: I know what your going through...DH hasn't had a job in over a month and were fixing to screw up our credit if nothing happens soon. He's going through temp agencies to find work on a daily basis....Has your BF tried that yet? Maybe there is a neighbors phone number you could give out until things get better for you! Hang in there! My heart goes out to you! Your will be in my prayers and thoughts.....:flowerforyou:


    I finished my workout...burned 418cals. I did 30day shred level one then T3 totally tubular turbo jam ...i feel better now that its over!

    Have a great day everybody!

    amelia we are at about the same weight. do you have a HRM to tell you exactly how many calories you burned? if so, how many for level 1 on 30 day shred?

    Vanessa I hope things get better for you. I know how you feel hubs went through thanksgiving and christmas without a job. Try eating half a cereal bar with your pain medicine. When I had my breast reduction they gave me pain medicine to take home and it made me sick too but the doc said to try a cereal bar with it and it worked. Thank god I didn't need them for every long because the made me sleepy. I went to advil about 3 days after I got home.

    Thanks guys :blushing:

    I would normally ask a neighbor but we live in an apartment building with a not so great crowd and don't know anyone.

    He's going to be going through a temp agency soon, the same company that would have hired him starting yesterday has a couple more positions open, but he has to go through a temp agency to get them.. it's complicated and I don't know much about it but I'm really hoping that he has a job by the end of the week.. The only other problem is that his car is all screwed up and never starts even though we just replaced the battery. We'll have to figure that out later though.

    Thanks for the kind words, I just get so frusterated sometimes when so many things are going bad and they're out of my control to fix.

    Thanks again! I'm hoping I'll be on my feet and working out again by the beginning of next week. Until then, i'll make sure to stay in my calories! :drinker:

    Level one on 30 day shred i burned 246 cals....i think it was around 25mins. I can only do like 8pushups on my toes...the rest on my knees and I tried to 'kick my butt' during the butt kicks. I went low during the lunges. So basicly followed the advanced chick. Not bad for 25mins:drinker:

    I was calculating 200 calories for it so I wasn't that off. I think I will stick with 200. Thanks for getting back to me on that.

    I did 45 minutes on the elliptical. I hope to do another 45 minutes (or at least 30) tonight during Biggest Loser for my last chance workout.

    I weighed myself this morning and I was up a pound. :grumble: Hopefully it goes back down tomorrow to the loss I showed the other day.
