Black Team Challenge Week 4

Girlmom282109

Morning all!!
So, this morning I went into the bathroom and I went to my normal spot to look for my scale like it would magicly appear there! no such luck!:grumble:
Something is wrong with our thermostat. I don't think it's used to running the heat like it has been. After awhile it starts blowing cold air. yesterday morning it was 25 degrees when I went to work and our house was at 66 and going down!! This morning the house was at 69 and blowing cold air so we turned it off. It is supposed to get into the high 60's today so we should be ok. it's like we have to turn it off for a couple hours to give it a break. glad this house isn't up north where we really want to be.

Hope everyone is keeping with this challenge!

Amanda forget about your misstep and start fresh!

One time that happened to us & it was the oddest thing. We changed the filter & it was working fine again. Odd. Do you have gas or electric? If it is gas, make sure the pilot light is lit. Good luck! That stuff gets pricey. :grumble:

We have electric and I think we need to change the filter. I think we are going to try that and see if it works and then go from there. we can't afford pricey right now. I have been giving all my extra money to my mom to help her pay her rent. She is only oncall at her job and hasn't worked in over a month. she has one day next week so that won't pay her bills.

When I weigh myself, I do it first thing in the morning, after I go to the bathroom, before I eat. Any other isn't "accurate" to me. So I've been eating breakfast as soon as I wake up so I won't want to weigh-in and get a "wrong" number.

LOL That's funny to me b/c I ran down the stairs this morning & ate my yogurt first thing for the very same reason :laugh: Scale can't get me now! Although, I do peek throughout the day b/c I'm mildly insane, but I beat it for the "offical" one! YAY!

Haha ... I won't get on the scale in the morning if I have had even *ONE* swallow of water ... so right as I get out of bed I chug down some! I really wanted to step on the dang thing this morning though!! Oh well ... I can do this, I CAN do this...:grumble: :huh:

About Monday I am going to have to earn a scale peek, though... :noway: :laugh:

tresa1234

Come on folks-- do or do not-- there is no try.

Back away from the scale-- !!!

Have a great day!!

Marla ... CUTE CUTE CUTE pic in your AV!!!! :happy: :happy: :happy:

tresa1234

I put my scale in the closet...
see no evil, do no evil!

Well ... hmmm... it won't fit on the floor of my closet ... the shelves? .... nope!

I wonder if it would hang on a hanger ...

:noway: :noway: :noway:

Ugh, I've been up for several hours working and I haven't eaten yet, so I'm gonna go find some brekkie before I fall over! Have a great day, Black Team!!

Thanks we are lucky enough to have her not working because I would rather pay her then someone else to watch my girls.

No scale yet! Go me! I am just terrified that I am getting off of track.

A very old family friend passed away today (he was a huge part of my childhood but we drifted apart the last few years).
I over ate.
I didn't go the gym.
I just can't seem to find the energy to do anything. I just wanna sleep right now.
*sigh*
It's going to be a tough week. The funeral is Tuesday. I don't do funerals very well.
Don't know why I'm bugging you all with this but basically if I'm not around until weigh in day that's why and if I gain weight this week that's why too. No excuses but right now that's not easy.

AmandaJ

Nicky, I am sorry to hear about the loss you are going through. No, not excuses but reasons why anybody could get off track. I hope you find peace and some happiness as you go through this week.
(((HUGS)))!

punka274

Nicky-I too am sorry for your lost....hugs to you!

Samantha-I will also keep your mom in my thoughts and hope she gets more hours.

I can't believe how bad everything has gotten over the past couple of years....my DH hasn't had one single call back and i know he has filled out over 50 applications. A couple of years back,he would of had a job within week im just so frustrated right now,didn't sleep very good last night. I cheated last night on my diet oh well,the scale isn't moving anyway::frown:

sorry to be such a whinner:sick: bbl

I'm sorry to hear about your loss.:frown: Don't worry your not making excuses. You just worry about getting yourself in order emotionally. Take the time you need to greive. I had a point where I lost two friends in a year. One of which was very close. one in a car accident and the other in a fire. My friend who passed away in a fire was like a brother to me and I was like a stone at his funeral. I didnt let myself greive him and it tore me up for a long time until I finally let go and let myself feel it. It was what I needed to do to feel better. he was 24 at the time so I don't think I really even believed it happened until long after he was gone. You will eventually find a way to be at peace with it and keep him alive in your memory. My prayers are with you during this time.

Not a whinner, It's a very stressful thing and my heart goes out to you punka. Try to remember "This to shall pass". Every bad situation doesnt last forever even though I am sure this one has gone on way longer than you want it too. I will pray for your husband. It will be ok.

Well, he's really cute, too ... but I was talking about YOU!!! You look like a teenager! :happy:

Well, bless your buttons, my dear Tresa-- :blushing: You make me blush.

Nicky-- hugs, my friend-- hang in there.

Punka-- right there with you-- times are tough-- scary, scary world we're living in right now. DH got the mortgage industry boot on Halloween-- nothing out there in that industry right now. At nearly 50, not many options-- and nine kids. These are the times that try mens souls, they say, eh? How old it gets to live with such stress--

Hubby says I complain too much-- and he's right. It is what it is. What we do with "what it is" shows what we are inside. He's so much stronger than I am.

Oh well-- :ohwell: back to work--

Hugs to all--
