    Jessica, thank you for the quotes... I think I need to put them up on the wall in my office (at work, and at home!)

    Nicole, thank you for thinking of me :blushing: Yep, I go on Monday and I'm super nervous about it :embarassed: And, you're right- this is the path that my sister chose. Why? I don't know, but there really isn't much I can do about it. I guess that's part of what makes it so frustrating.

    Sorry again, all for kind of telling my life story. I felt like my body was going to explode yesterday! In addition to my weight loss goals, I think I need to work on taking care of myself mentally in 2010 :wink:

    Wow, what a great week. It's fantastic to see the weight loss in so many, and also everyone fighting to get those workouts in (including me). Please email me with any corrections and I will get it updated with the next chart.

    It is also great to see everyone so supportive and helpful during times of difficulty. Hang in there

    Ya, Mt Dew Friday.

    I've been a snacker all week, blah! It was good having an appt this morning for bloodwork forcing me to a 12 hour fast. No late snacking at least once :wink: . I'll try to make it two in a row tonight. Ya know, we have another weigh in weekend coming.

    Raymond, I have an appointment for blood work this afternoon- I'm thinking I probably shouldn't go for a run afterwards- it would have to be right after I leave the appointment so probably not a good idea? I have to have a lot of blood drawn too because they're doing the genetic test for Celiac's, testing my thyroid levels, a food allergy panel, and also some other levels that are associated with Celiac's (not sure exactly).

    Today was supposed to be a run day but I'm thinking I'll compromise and go for a walk instead. I'm nervous to go for a run (by myself) right after blood work! :sick:

    This won't be a good check-in for me at all this week, but next week will be better- it has to be! The last few days the "this very well could be the last time I can eat _______" (Chinese food, brownies, pizza, etc.) has really started to get to me. And I've caved in a little... ok, a lot. But, like I said, next week HAS to be better!

    Just a quick check in, I'm sorry to hear of your loss Verda, my thoughts are with you.

    Kelynn and Rainman, I'll be thinking of you today, that is so awesome that you keep up with your exercise through all of the struggles.

    I did a quick weigh in this morning and it looks like I have stayed the same..that's pretty good considering this week.

    The grandkids are here and kids are home from school, the house is really loud....fun, but everyones hungry...I'll check in when I can.
    Have a super weekend .

    I'd hardly call mine a struggle. I get a $100 perk if I do an annual physical.... and hence bloodwork goes along with that. They just ping me for BMI, and I laugh it off. It is impossible for me to meet my BMI target, I'd look sickly.

    Enjoy the family Debra. I try to really soak up every ounce of fun you can. I too weighed in and was maybe down 1 lb, but overall steady. Not good, but could be much worse too.

    Yeah...Hoot, Hoot:bigsmile: :bigsmile: I finally got a run in today, just a little over 2 miles, but I loved being outside, hit 40* today and started melting off all the ice we have had for the last 2 days! Worked out with the grankids today doing KenpoX...laughed A LOT, they are both little guys, 3 and 1 1/2 and it was so much fun watching them trying to get things right, and without fail every downward dog, really means time to "crawl circles under Grandma GG" , wore them out...they have been asleep now for an hour.
    Will post everything tomorrow...yesterday I weighed in the same myabe tomorrow morning I'll get a surprise.

    Rainman...oops, my bad...I thought maybe you were having trouble with having to have blood work done...

    Kelynn...hope your Doc visit went well, I'm sorry about your bad week, but you have another one starting soon and it will be better!!!

    Looks like your doing great Jessica!!!

    I am off for a cup of tea and a few free minutes before the rowdy bunch gets moving, should of had the kids over earlier, they always make my week better!

    Verda and Kelynn, I will definitely be praying for you and your families. :flowerforyou: I will be checking in either tomorrow or Monday. This hasn't been such a great week for me either. I don't have time to go into it right now, but maybe this coming up week will be better.
