JSANDIE: So sorry to hear about your troubles. Teenagers are tough, I had two daughters who are now
32 and 30. It does get better and they do appreciate what you do eventually. Hang in there darlin:flowerforyou:
I had my first apt with my new Nutritionist who is also a personal trainer, not mine, but she gave
me some tweaks to what I am doing now and I will be using her advice this month.
Did you stay within your nutritional goals? No went over calories
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? YES
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Tried a new cardio DVD Beach Body
What would I have done differently? Not used weights with the DVD because my back is sore today. :ohwell:
What are today's personal goals? Taking the advice I got from the Nutritionist today.

Isn't it wierd that a lot of us are struggling at the same time? Is it the time of year or something? More important than EVER that we stay with it and use this board to get encouragement and help! AGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Happy Fall?!?!?!?!?:huh:0

Yes, Dahlia I am with you on the cooler temperatures. I am tired of humidity and sweating all the time.
I get enough of that doing exercise.
We are all in the same position because summer is hard to lose
weight with parties, bbq's , and just plain eating all the summer fare. Fall here we come and to better
days of losing not gaining or in my case maintaining when I want to lose. :ohwell: Good Luck next week
ladies.
Did you stay within your nutritional goals? YES
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? YES
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Went to my Pilates class and she showed me some of the

Thanks everyone for the support! I think for many of us, summer is coming to an end and we want to enjoy it while it lasts. For me it's because my son is being difficult because the summer is coming to an end. He decided he wants to live with dad... went for a weekend visit and called to say he is not coming back... Ever :-p. He's been planning this for months... Told TONS OF PEOPLE and decided to not say a word to me /sigh

I knew I was sparce on here this weekend but didn't realize it was as long as it was. Alot has happened in those few days here it seems.
I hope things get better soon, jsandie. I suspect after a time with his Dad your son will see him more realistically and you too. I am glad you are starting to take better care of your self now. That will help everything. I am just now almost over the teen parenting years. My baby is 19. However I don't think she wants to grow up. My son who just turned 27 is just now looking back and saying what was I thinking? I feel we are doing well just if we can help them survive these years. Their risk analysis part of their brains are not there yet! The problem is we can't always control them since they are approaching different levels of autonomy. My daughter decided not to come home from college this summer and went travelling around the east coast on a non-profit project instead and then back to school to work on a documentary they filmed on the trip on a subject not related to her major. She had to pay rent in high rent in silicon valley. So even though she is getting paid for some work and some expenses I am not sure she will have enough at the end of the summer. If she came home she could have kept all she made this summer. Well she did get a great experience for herself but at the expense of my worrying from a distance. But that is my job. We talked her through a number of issues but I guess that is how they learn. Just let your son know you are there for him when he needs you and continue to take care of yourself for both or you in the meantime.
