(ps. retail therapy is the BEST kind :happy:... and i need to know how you get all those cute things for less than 70$ OMG!!!! ... I can't find a pair of jeans for less than that :laugh: ... I have a jean problem...:blushing: :flowerforyou: ) Anyways ladies keep up the great work... ps. tamm how is the new job?

hey ladies!!!
sorry no time to chat, lots going on. Hopefully I can explain later but I just have to see how things pan out. Don't worry, nothing serious, just your typical men driving women crazy just because they can. :grumble:
My for today however is that I love that i have wonderful friends with whom I can always share my gripes and my joys. it really makes it all worth it!
love you all! 0 -
Lauryn- how are things...
Hi Tamm :flowerforyou:
Things are going. Having productive talks with my husband about what he needs and wants in life. Talking about the next steps in dissolving our marriage. Taking baby steps. I told him I wanted a separation 6 weeks ago. Nothing has been done other than talking since then. Baby steps, working through all the emotions from the both of us. I mean seriously, what is the rush? It's not like I'm rushing out of a marriage and SUDDENLY happiness will appear. So we are working through this. In the meantime, I am night-time binge-eating fiercely. I'm logging it, mostly. It's bad. I have got to get a grip on that. I eat more calories in a night-time binge than I eat all day long. It's baaaaaad. I eat even when my stomach is complaining that it's full. Again... gotta get a check on this. I realize the problem, now I have to work to correct it.
Went to the doctor yesterday. Keep having asthma attacks. Turns out it's bronchitis. Booo but yay -- because that is something short term that antibiotics will cure. I didn't want to hear that I had to go back on daily preventive meds for the asthma. Short term dose of Prednisone for my asthma to help lessen my attacks while I get over the bronchitis. No fun -- side effect is WEIGHT GAIN. lol. OH WELL. However, Prednisone actually makes my best friend's appetite decrease and I haven't been ravenous today, so let's hope for the same results with me!
Other than that mess, life is still progressing. The sun finally shone here today, so I'm in a brighter mood.
Today's : I have two great best friends from college, one an official roomie and the other an honorary roomie. We get together twice a year with our significant others and kids and go to the zoo or museums. We are planning our spring gathering now. I am so excited. These are the girls I run to with all my problems and worries and they have never failed me yet. I am blessed to have two true and dear friends. (I actually have two other dear and true friends. Talking about super duper blessings!) 0 -
Hello ladies! I am feeling much better today, although I did still take a couple hours nap after only working a half day today. I had a hard boiled egg today for lunch (not just that, lol) and for some reason, it tasted so good! Bizzarroooo. I mean I like h.b. eggs, but normally I'm not all about the egg. Today, I just can't stop raving about it. DH thinks that the it isn't boogies I'm blowing out my nose, but brains. He thinks I've gone off the deep end :laugh:
Cathy, glad you got things taken care of, hope the pain goes away soon for you!
Rhiannon, hopefully things go ok with Leith's teeth. Congrat's on the great shopping experience, you are my hero!
Lauryn, hang in there girl. I'm glad steps are being taken in the right direction finally. Take care of you.
SBB, yeah on down below 150. I remember the days...
Amylou, hang in there. Friends are good.0 -
evening ladies.....
thanks for all the well wishes....i am feeling much better today. having little aches and pains where it was, said it was to be expected.
just checking in. took pain pill, so should be out for the night soon.
later girls.0 -
well, Leith has had a WONDERFUL birthday today and he gets to keep looking forward to his party on Sunday with friends. Sadly, I've suddenly come down with a big cold :sick: Hope it goes soon!0

:flowerforyou: I love this group!!! I am a member of 3 weight loss sites and this one is my favorite because of the bonds I have formed w/ this group. I can't believe it is my 3rd rotation w/ this group. I truly appreciate it! :blushing: Work is going great. I like working w/ kids. They are so amazing. I don't want any on my own but I do like to play w/ them and listen to their views of the world. lol. Boy do they have more to learn. - my love of the day is my ability to adapt to new environments. Though I know my job is stressful, I am doing workouts each day that I go to work to counteract the high cortisol levels and stress.
Strawberry- glad to see you back. How's the puppy?
Cathy- glad you are feeling better. I did find a townhouse and it is lovely. My mom loved it too. It is a perfect fit and its in a safe neighborhood.
Amylou- Men can be a handful, just a different breed... that "Y" chromosome did some serious damage..... lol Hang in there.
Lauryn- baby steps are sometimes the only way. Any step forward is wonderful. I'm glad its working out for you. I used to be a night refrigerator stalker too!!! I mean as late as 3 am. How I conquered it.... I mentally told myself I didn't need the food AND I put a notebook on my frig.... and whenever I went in to get food, I wrote down what it was AND why I got it? You get tired of writing things like bored, because and I don't know..... it keeps you honest and helps the mind deal w/ the issue. I'm glad you are still logging. Good luck I know you can do it.
Well ladies.... I am flying to Memphis tomorrow to prepare for the moving company on Saturday. Then I fly back late Sunday night and then back to work. Busy busy .... then I return to stay in the hotel until next weekend probably until Sunday. Then back to work THEN.... hopefully unpack before Feb 14 ....lol. Busy but I want to keep my fitness up to conquer the stress. Its almost over. OH yeah, today I worked out in the morning and evening! Yay....2 hrs.
Love ya all!!! Take care0 -

later0 -
Hey ladies! I'm down .4 from tuesday, so that's pretty exciting, especially because its TOM. which is probably why I inhaled a box of Dots last night. :sick: Not going to lie, I enjoyed it though. :blushing:
Tamm - Safe Travels!!! Sounds like the job is gong well, that is so exciting! And I agree, I love this group and look forward to at least reading every day even if i don't have time to post.
And as for the man, explanation would be that I was supposed to have a date last night (yipppeeeee!!!! yeah, it's been a while) but it got "postponed" (at least that's not cancelled right?) his friends from undergrad are coming to town this weekend and he wanted to get homework done. At least I know he's the studious type? bah, it was just frustrating when everything is up in the air. I'm kind of a scheduled person. :happy:
Rhiannon - Feel better dear!!! Glad the birthday celebrations for Leith are going well!!
Cathy - yay for being down this morning!! Keep resting!!
Lauryn - I am SOOO proud of you!! I can't even believe I'm complaining about one lousy date when there are such strong women around me getting through so much more!! My parents have been divorced for almost 9 years now but it still is hard because they weren't able to work through it together like you and your husband are. VERY proud of you.
And I know I'm missing people, but need to get to work. My for the day is kind of weird, but I love how I look in pencil skirts!! I dressed up for work today and put on a pencil skirt in a size 8 that I haven't worn in a while and fits like a dream!! yay!!!! :drinker:
Be back later! Going out for lunch with a few classmates so hoping I can be good!!! 0 -

bunny. glad to here you are feeling better!!! :flowerforyou:
everyone else, have a great day!!!! i'll check in with more later if i can get some work done! :bigsmile:0 -
Hi All,
Sorry about missing a couple of days there. My weight is up from Tue. almost 2 whole pounds, which was unexpected. Now I feel kind of down about it. Add to that the worrying about DH job and our financial situation and boy I just don't feel like exercising or watching calories. I should exercise though, because I know that will elevate my mood. :ohwell:
Cathy- Yes, I am hitting the books pretty hard right now and that's keeping me behind in my housework. Ugg It's hard to keep a good balance. Hope your pain is gone.
Pedal- It was nice to see that you were able to get some information regarding your son's teeth from someone in our group (Thanks to Tamm) . Hopefully all is well now.
Amylou- Yes it's just postponed not cancelled. Hope he really goes all out to make it up to you. I know what you mean when you are a planner and have everything scheduled just so then someone messes up your plan. My family gets frustrated with me sometimes about always having a plan or schedule to go by, so I have had to loosen up a little to apease them.
Tamm- Glad to hear we are your favorite
Have a great day all:happy:0 -
deb....keep up with your exercising and good eating habits, it helps to know that you have control over something in your life right now. when other things you can't control. i know this helps me get through the tough parts of life. hang in there. you will get through this, it's just a stepping stone to build you up.
strawberry...i think animals are almost more expensive than kids. LOL.
amylou....men, yes, just a postponement. at least you know what his friends mean to him and he is wanting an education.....
pedal...PARTY....i like b-day parties.
well, off to find something to do.
later.....0 -
can't beleive no one has posted here for almost 24 hours.
hey anyone.....???????:ohwell:0 -
Cathy- Hello. I popped on here this morning and noticed no one had been here. busy weekend for all! I am out the door myself to go with a girlfriend for a movie, dinner and some window shopping.
I hope you are feeling better now that your gall bladder is gone. I am going in Monday to see my doc myself and chat with her about mine. I have alot of your symptoms and have always thought it was my acid reflux. Better to make sure than to suffer all the time. I have had 3 attacs in the last 4 days in which one kept me up for a full 24 hours! No sleep, lots of tears. We will see how it all turns out.
Well, I am out the door. Have a good night!

Good evening ladies. Sorry I haven't been around been working late and my schedule was all messed up this week. Plus the stress of more lay offs at work. They laid off 2 people and asked for voluntary layoffs this week. Hubby and I both work at the same place so it get sort of stressful. We just had a lay off in October.:ohwell:
Plus was suposed to meet my daughter's teacher for a conference on Friday, which was the reason for my work schedule being all arranged for the week. She calls 30 minutes before I'm supposed to be at school and tells me that she can't meet because they were having a 100th day at school celebration. Kinda ticked me off.:mad:
Me and hubby had a double date night with some good friends of ours and went to see a movie. Boy, I now that I have matured. Those teenagers were driving me nuts. They are so rude. I had a girl sitting next to me that was half my size practically sitting in my lap like she didn't have any room in her seat and then flipping her cell phone open all through the movie and passing food and drinks behind her. Gosh how rood!:explode:
Pedal- have a great birthday party. I love kid's birthday parties.
Tamm- glad your finally getting your life in order. You'll feel great once you get settled in.
Mom- glad your feeling better. Your a tough chick, that's were I get it from.:laugh:
Amy- hope you had fun with your friend today and good luck at the doctors. I've only had to deal with the acid reflux when I was prego and boy did it suck!! There were many nights I fell asleep in the bathtub becuase it was the only way it didn't hurt.
Deb- hang in there girl. I am, and it sounds like you and I are in the same boat of these blah moods, we need to snap out of it girl.
Amylou- boys only get worse, hehehe. Good luck.
Strawberry blonde- good job. I know I keep fighting to get under 210. The scale teases and says now you see now you don't.:laugh:
Anyone else I may have missed, hope ya'll are having a busy active weekend and that's why no one is on here.
Later, I'm kidless tonight. Just me and hubby. Girls are at MIL's tonight.0 -
Morin......
can finally sleep somewhat normal. pain is there, but, just letting me not overdo. DH is having work problems again. son got another speech from me again. this one wasn't yelling just it's time to grow up and pick your battles with better care. going to try the treadmill for a few today. need to begin to build back up again. i already told DH probaly won't be able to do the gym for about a month. don't want to push that. can't push, pull, lift for about two weeks anyway. he said i could walk, it's good anyway helps with the air. getting taxes done tomorrow. hope it brings a nice number.
i hope everyone is having a good weekend.
pedal...have a fun party.
strawberry...i too with shanell keep peeking into under 210, but, now it's under and i won't let it go back up.
tamm...have a safe weekend and hope you get all moved in soon.
deb....don't let the housework, keep you away from what you want. my new year saying to myself is "will it matter a year from now?" if the dust bunnies get an extra week, it really won't matter a year from now....keep up the strength, and dermination. you are doing great.
amylou...keep your studing.
amy...good luck with the doctors. they say i will feel better. i felt good before, when i didn't have attacts, so can't wait for that to happen. maybe when all the pain is gone. LOL.
later.....0 -
Ladies- oh how I have enjoyed catching up this morning! I am finally back home in Iowa. Had a great visit with my family, though the circumstances surrounding the visit were not ideal
We drove down Wednesday and ran into the ice in Missouri, however, it was only on the trees and power lines, the road was clear, PRAISE THE LORD!
Tamm- I agree, I LOVE this group! I am glad to hear that you will be able to get settled in soon!
Lauryn- I think baby steps are the best way. Though you can grow impatient, by taking baby steps, you are ensuring that things are done the way they should be, rather than rushing through. Feel better!
Amy- I am glad you are taking the time to get to the doc and take care of yourself. Good luck!
AmyLou- I look forward to hearing how the date goes when you guys can make it happen and congrats on the size 8 skirt, YAY!
Robin- so glad you are starting to feel better!
Cathy- so glad the surgery is behind you and you are beginning to feel better. Take it easy on that treadmill.
Shanell- sorry so stressful with the job situation right now. I think the whole country is feeling it. I pray it all works out.
Deb- was it you saying that DH was laid off or about to be laid off. I don't know what to say other than I am so sorry and I am really praying our leaders find a solution soon.
Katy- hope you are doing well
SBB- I know how expensive those shots for the pup can be, glad he is almost done for a while to help out your pocketbook.
Kristin-hope you are doing well. I see it warmed up a bit in Iowa while I was away, hope you were able to appreciate it!
Pedal- hope you have a fabulous bday party today for Leith. Also, I hope talking with Tamm helped ease some of your apprehension about Leith's dental woes. And wow, do I want to go shopping with you :happy:
wow, I am sure I am missing someone and I apologize if I am. I have so missed being on this weekend. I did OK, not great while I was away. I only had access to dial up internet, so didn't really get anything as far as food or exercise logged. Also, I forgot to take my paper food diary. I did, however, jog for 30 minutes on Wed. morning before leaving, jog for 30 mins. Thursday night, after the funeral and family time. I was lazy on Friday, though I pretty much just sat at my parent's house all day with the fam. On Sat. morning I got up early and went for a jog outside, this is much different than the treadmill. I jogged for about 10 minutes and walked for about 20 minutes. But, the important thing is, I got it in! On Monday of last week I bought a new outfit for the funeral from some sale racks and when I put it on, I LOVED how it looked! I felt so good about myself. And AmyLou, the skirt was almost a pencil skirt, it had the same feel, just not quite long enough to qualify, and I agree, I LOVE THEM. I can't wait until I lose a bit more weight and can wear some! I weighed on Friday morning at my parents house, and the scale said 170.6, WOW! However, this morning, still 173 on my scale. I didn't trust the other scale as I like to stick with the same one. But hey, considering how I have eaten this weekend, I will take maintaining! Have a fabulous day, ladies!0 -
Ladies, I forgot to share the new haiku:
In the checkout line
I hear the chocolate bars
calling to me. "Yes!"
I love sharing these with you guys, so glad you are enjoying them.0 -
so glad to hear you had a safe trip. sorry again it wasn't a trip pleasure.
yes, i love these sayings. i need to go bad and copy some to send to my sister. she loves these things. she makes signs and puts them all around her house. she lost over 150#s over a year ago. going to get ready for a walk around the neighborhood instead of the treadmill. it's rather nice out. than maybe this afternoon will make another trip. just been watching old movies on tv. RV, clueless, legally blonde. the old girly ones. DH and son are just as wrapped up in them.
well, off to dress and take a walk. gosh it's almost noon.....still have to gather rest of tax stuff for tax man tomorrow.

Lauryn, I thought so too! Just wait, they get even better!0 -
Oooh, Cathy, I am jealous that you get to walk outside. Sadly, it is just too cold for me today. Not to mention that I am extremely clumsy and with the snow and possibly ice on the sidewalks, I am sure to fall on my butt. Ah, can't wait for spring!0
-
katie....i just ordered that book off amazon. if really good i will order another one for my sister in canada. thanks.
the walk was really nice. DH and i needed to do some talking anyway. he's having a hard time with new boss, and co-workers right now. he seems to be the red headed step child.
off to get a snack, tummy making noises.....0 -
I know you will enjoy it, Cathy. I am glad you and DH got to have some chat time. That is always nice!0
