~*Highs & Lows*~ Anything Goes!

Lows: Watching this tragedy in Haiti, makes me feel so deeply saddened! There are so many people that are still hurt and under ruble and concrete buildings. That could have been our country! Some people have said some pretty negative things and it disturbs me.

It really upsets me too. I feel so helpless watching. I just keep thinking if I could be there that would be one more pair of hands to help dig people out and maybe a few more people could be saved. I try to ignore the stupid people on tv but it is horrible some of the stuff being said.

Highs- a nice day with my husband and daughter, getting to sleep in, the scale finally budged. I weighed 137 today. That is 20lbs lost!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Mine was nice. Day 1 of vege eating went well. I actually made an egg sandwich for breakfast and had peanut butter and jelly for an afternoon snack. I made several soups to last the week and hard boiled some eggs for lunches. I loved running outside - it was sunny and 40 degrees:bigsmile: The only low in life is that my laptop is still causing headaches.

Good evening.

Highs: My sister (age 25) got engaged, went to a movie with my husband (Book of Eli, it was good), rented Wii Biggest Loser game and tried that out, got my 18 month old to sit down for a whole hour to do her hair (She has very curly wild hair), got my husband to join me and our daughter for a walk, my husband straightening up the house while I was Instant Messaging my sister like a giggly 16 year old, and as always my beautiful family.

Lows: ate too much at the movies, haven't gotten around to my French homework that is due tomorrow. (probably should do that instead of this but I like you guys more:laugh: )

welcome mrsbojangles :flowerforyou: We look forward to getting to know you. Maybe you can help cc with her French homework. I have no idea what you typed. Just let us know your highs and lows each day.

Yesterday was a busy day but I ate well and did manage to get 30 min of exercise in late in the evening. My husband was complaining that I was grumpy and it made me realize I hadn't gotten my fix of endorphins from exercise. I guess if your going to have an addiction, exercise is one of the better ones :blushing: High yesterday - caught up on some paperwork and made it safely home from work. Low yesterday - long day working 9 to 7:45. I had 2 short breaks in the car and was able to check MFP for my other addiction fix. I just love the iphone esp since the d@mn laptop is still not working.

Good morning everyone. Tuesday's highs - got my monthly shopping done and the groceries put away and made a great pasta recipe that a friend gave me. Tuesday's lows - $$$ spent shopping and fatigue from pushing full carts. I did manage to run on treadmill for exercise since we got 2 inches of snow and the high was 25. I just love the look of fresh snow on the ground - all white and pristine.

Hello my dear group!! I know I fell off the mfp planet around the holidays. I had some unfortunate problems at home but all is getting better. Good thing is I didn't have a backslide while gone and now I'm rarin to go again!!

I hope everyone has been doing well!!

cc - sorry to hear your legs are hurting again. Make sure to ice and stretch them. I want 70 degrees :sad:

Yesterday's highs - nice meeting with my bookclub buddies, have been staying on track with eating, tried 5 min of Zumba instructional video (what fun), and had the afternoon off. Yesterday's lows - didn't see much of my husband and accidentally ate shrimp before I remembered this is vege eating week. I plan to cont the week eating vegetarian and try it again next month.

:sad: I had kind of a rough day. I accidently went over the speed limit in a school zone and got a ticket. I felt so horrible,:ohwell: I would never intentionally speed in a school zone. I thought that it wasn't in effect at that time so I went the normal speed limit. I feel so terrible! I was so stressed and upset I grabbed McDonalds because I was in a hurry and ended up over my calories. I don't even like McDonalds' that much. Then I went to pick up my daughter from daycare she fell out of a chair and bumped her head, was running a fever, and threw up everywhere. Then when we got home she threw up again. I put her to bed at 645 but she is waking up a lot because she doesn't feel well. I had planned to take tomorrow off to catch up on laundry and study but it looks like I will be taking care of my little sick angel instead:>


I am pretty sore from my workout yesterday. It hurts to sit down because my butt and thighs are sore! :laugh: But I view that as a good thing. I got to spend some time this evening just relaxing and talking with my husband which was nice.

I swear there is a cyber ghost that steals posts. It must have to do with the server errors. I know that I posted yesterday.

CC sorry you had such a bad day Thurs.

Highs - I have been feeling great and lost another pound. My mom is back and came right to my house to workout before going home yesterday. She wanted to tell me about her trip and shake off the 5 hour car ride. No real lows to report. I did go over on calories yesterday but I knew what I was doing and really wanted that grilled cheese sandwich.

Have a great weekend.

highs: kitten was better today - whew
lows: at almost an entire pizza by myself. I feel really sick.

highs - kitten was way better today plus I made good choices when out to eat lunch
lows - think kitten may be afraid of me :frown:

Hi everyone. Thanks for all the support. My daughter is feeling better today. I wish I could be a stay at home mom and be with her all the time:ohwell: I hate leaving her at a sitter (even though my sitter is great and has been keeping her since she was two months old). Nothing eventful today so I will take the opportunity to say what I am thankful for.

I am grateful for:
-life, I am grateful to be alive and for the life God allowed my husband and I to create. Being a mother is better than I could've ever dreamed. Even in my exhausted moments at 3 am I am still so grateful to have her.
- love, I have a great husband, he is my best friend. These days a good marriage seems to be less and less common.
-employment, Being a member of the military has provided stability that many people don't have unfortunately.
-Family & Friends, I am grateful that I have people who love me and people to share my life with.
- Living in the US, many people live in a country where speaking your opinion could get you killed. I am grateful for the freedom we have in this country.
- all of the other blessings God has given me and my family including health and happiness.:happy:

Where is everyone? Highs today- picked up a new client, stayed under calories, and was able to download some audio books. Unfortunately, I lost all of them when the laptop was down. At least it's free to get them again. I've been cold all day - that's my only low.
