Looking Good For Christmas - WEEK 10

magglett

I hope you all have a lovely week. I was so busy the past few days I didn't even have time to read the posts 'til this morning.

As for me, I just had the most stressful week topped off by the weekend from hell. It involved a 50th anniversary party for my in-laws which I planned, cancelled, re-planned, cancelled, and then had to re-plan at the last minute. A whole lot of family were in town and we were all looking forward to getting together. My brother in law is schizophrenic and it is usually controlled with his medication and his behaviour isn't too bad but about a week ago it started getting very erratic so I was asked by my father in law to cancel everything which I did but then the gang wanted to do something anyway ... big mistake ... he acted up, got angry, got aggressive, then got violent. A fight broke out and of course I jumped in the middle of it all to try and break it up ... police were called and my brother in law was taken away. I feel sooooo bad about everything. My poor in-laws, how many people actually make it to their 50th anniversary and then this happened. Hopefully my old belief that things happen for a reason holds true with this situation too. Sorry I layed this on all of you ... I'm hoping I'll feel better now that I wrote it out ... I'll try to be more positive in the future.

Is it too late to join? I think actually seeing it in words will keep me motivated! Great idea!

Thanks for the support, you're doing awesome too!!!

I just went back to work after having my baby, and am having a hard time finding time to work out.... Hopefully once I get my routine down I'll be able to squeeze in at least 20-30 min. of work out time!!

Yeah, once you get back into your routine it will be easier for you. My suggestion, schedule that 20 or 30 mins for yourself and stick to it. It will make you feel so much better and ready to tackle anything. Have a fantastic week. :bigsmile:

I am sorry things got out of hand for you. I do believe writing it out does help. I really hope that this week will be better for you. :bigsmile:

It is never too late. Just copy and paste into your reply with your weigh in. Most of the girls weigh in on Wednesday mornings. If you like to weigh in on another day, just change the date and do it then. I always weigh in on Saturdays.
Glad that you are here with us. Have a fantastic week. :bigsmile:

Hi all ... I just burned 317 calories taking my frustrations out tearing down part of an old plaster ceiling. My goodness ... what a mess ... but what a great workout. My hubby and I own an old farm house built in 1895. With life's problems and financial junk and all kinds of other excuses we haven't finished a single thing here in the 16 years we've owned it ... so now we've made a pact ... we will concour one project per month from now on. Right now we are getting half of the first floor prepared to blow insulation on the walls before the real winter hits. I love it ... I'll get some great workouts in and my house will progress with time to being a nice place to live. I've hated living here since the first year ... country living is just not my thing ... we'll sell once it's completed (in like 10 years I think). Anyway, I'm babbling here ... I hope all is well with you. Have a wonderful evening and we'll talk again tomorrow.
