HI ladies... still hectic w/the crap at home. My kids went to live w/their father & Dave still in the hospital. I'm returning to work on Weds.
I also had a binge episode. The last time I made cookies for hubby, cookies slid off the pan & under the bottom of the stove. I forgot. Preheated the oven for the next batch I was making him.... smoke comes out of the stove, then I see flames -- the cookie parts were on fire....
I turn stove off - place the sheets w/the second batch in the fridge for "safe keeping."
Well, I binged on the raw cookie dough.... ate nearly 1/2 of the batch that way. Then I cleaned the oven - baked the rest of the batch . Ate the baked cookies.....
I plan on going to kickboxing tonight.
Take care.... thanks for your texts and prayers. Much appreciated.

mornin' everyone. glad to report I had a good eating day Sun. i even had 2 servings of air-popped popcorn, fiber, does a body good right? plus, glad to be off the constipating prescribed pain meds
lily gets her eye checked today, and i have therapy later. really gonna try to get out for a short walk. below normal temps for the next week or so, but the sun is out and the fresh air will be way good for me. i am hooked on SWTS and it's only been week 1. had a huge crush on Sugar Ray Leonard in my preteen years. like Kirstie Alley and Ralph Macchio too. any of you watching BL?
Barb, i think of you very often and have been keeping you in my daily prayers. we will raise you up and are all here for you. i hope this ends soon and you find peace. hang in there..hugs
aside all that's been dealt...you have had some NSV...jeans fittin and bmi. progress my friend. don't worry about your binge...it was one day. let it go, and live today.
Cindy, sorry to hear about your work situation. be patient, just take one day at a time. remember, baby steps, not a marathon! i believe in you...you'll get there!
Jacque, oh no, feel better soon. allergies/hate. i have noticed a few times being congested...seems our allergy season starts earlier and earlier every year. they say it's from global warming?? dh did change furnace filter....had been over 4 mos:ohwell: good luck at your interview xx fingers crossed xx :happy:
HI vita!! how's your derby team doing?? saw some pretty nice pics on fb!! you inspire me toots!
well, i have been doing some thinking...i really want to get to 150 lbs, in about a year. so that is about 3.5 lbs a month. i should be able to do that. i am gonna track the "in 5 weeks your wt would be"...i did it last summer and about 4-5 times it was very close. kind of motivating to see "what it could be". anyway, gonna try it. will check in later. have a good day pepper's.0 -
lily's visit went well...we have to use drops with steroids now to help with the scar tissue. he also wants to check her thyroid, since her mamma has 'hypo', and he wants her to lose '1 lb'. puh. they have always eaten the same brand of dog food since birth, and we don't give them table scraps/human food, cept maybe fresh carrots, apples and plain popcorn. my other pug/mamma has been sick today..has not ate one thing and she has been in her bed all day..:frown:
therapy went ok. added 3 more exercises and stopped one..since it's too painful. taking son to his arraignment tomorrow am. thinkin maybe some of the headaches, sleep problems are stemming from 'this' stress. my face is also broke out. :ohwell:
did ok eating today but had some bites at supper time that were not part of the plan. and, didn't get out for a walk. i really need work on this. i just need to force myself to do it.
nite all, see ya tues0 -
happy day all...well the courthouse visit was not what we expected. checked in and the lady told us to go have a seat. waited about 5 minutes, then she calls my son's name again...so we go over to her desk and she says to my son "did you plea not guilty?" and he says 'yes'. then she tells him to keep in touch with his public defender, hands him a piece of paper that states when his pre-trial is, and says "you can go now"...????? i really think they just wanted him to 'show up', early morning/inconvenience, and get our $ from the parking meter. nice way to raise money for the city, i'll say. we were not even there 15 minutes. puh. so, i asked ds if he would like to have breakfast..yup. we settled on Village Inn. menu does not detail healthy foods so i did the best i could . 2 scrambled eggs, sliced banana & red grapes, 1/2 a sausage patty, and 2 slices of ordered-wheat-toast...think it was 12 grain?? arrived with butter/margarine. didn't think to order it plain. gonna do some more research on restaurant/menu for nutritional values. trying to be good now the rest of the day. will keep the canteen full. so, we go back to court in April / May. don't know date yet, suppose to get info this week. by then he will have had his license suspended for 1/2 of the revocation.
thinkin' of ya folks. 0 -
Hi all.... last day off. Returning to work and "reality" tomorrow. Bittersweet since Dave still in the hospital. I'm sure I'll get a lot of questions about him from co-workers in my building & his building. He's being private - doesn't want people to know what hospital or visitors except me. The best I can do is make a list of names of those who asked about him. I did tell Dave once I return to work I will visit him during the Saturday & Sunday evening visiting hours. The Tuesday & Thursday night hours will be too much after a full day of work, the hour drive to the hospital and the hour drive back.
And we don't have a release date for Dave.
Once I return to work, I'll be able to use my work computer. Hoping to return to logging food. I will say during these difficult times, kickboxing has been very good for me. I do "forget" my life during that hour.
I'm still doing counseling... going to start venturing out to be w/different people. My car club is having a 2 day event this weekend so I'm planning for Sunday's activities.
Thank you all for your prayers, your texts and calls. I'm managing my situation the best I can... my sense of humor is back so that's a good thing. My close friends are finding me more & more like my "old" self each day.0 -
sharing in barb's experience with the 'baking cookies' episode...raw dough and baked (3 diff kinds) yesterday afternoon. then dh and ds grill supper, hamburger's (was 1/2 deer meat and 85% ground beef) and beef hot dogs....and some potato chips. i had it ALL...which was too much food, was well aware of it, and just decided it was 'a meal'. no moderation there, um, binge i'll say. did not think to grill some turkey burgers. today i have all my meals and snacks planned and will increase my water.
thinkin of ya ladies....wishing you all a positive and successful day!:flowerforyou:0 -

Morning all..... My coworkers gave me two baskets yesterday. One full of snacks and the other full of various kinds of tea (for the non coffee drinker I am). The snacks I'll give to Hubby on Saturday when I see him next.
I just didn't want to make dinner for me so I ended up eating 2 packets of instant oatmeal after kickboxing.0 -
Good Morning Pepper's,
Really trying to check in. It is so crazy and will be for the next 3 weeks. Well doing well on food, need to drink more water and less coffee. Got a couple of small walks in. But soon the nice wheather will be here.
Back to work but will keep checking in.0 -
hi ladies! hope the day is going well for you:flowerforyou: these first three months of '11 have gone fast...2 more full months of spring and summer will be here. i really need to get exercising so all my shorts fit. too costly to buy new. that's my new motivation. i am going to get clearance today to hopefully walk. will be outside or with Leslie Sansone.
had a nice visit with my best friend last nite. started back on my additional dose of bupropion today. i take it in the am and again late afternoon. keeping fingers crossed that i don't get the horrible side affects again. did wake early this am and could not go back to sleep.
barb..hope your return to work is going smoothly. i think it's great you are sticking with the kickboxing whenever time allows... so many benefits. this time may be difficult and frustrating, but you are responding in a positive way. i'm so proud of you!
cindy..i bet you are looking forward to more free time. hang in there, i know you'll get thru this busy time. and in 3 weeks, let's hope that nicer weather is around for a good long time!:flowerforyou:
jacque..how did the interview go? are you feeling better...hope so. been thinkin' of ya toots! sending hugs and get well wishes

The scale went up 171.6 and body fat is now 30. So that was a slight increase as well.
I did have a binge day yesterday on jelly beans, plain MMs, chewy granola bars, and cookies.
And my water intake has not been good.
New day - starting again.0 -
Well it is official weight is 196, got to start being good. I do well all day but dont get to eat supper until 10 PM and it is killing me, I eat dinner and then cant stop eating. Getting a handle on it now see doctor next month. 19 more days and tax season is over and I will get my nights and week ends back so I will start doing exercise regular again.

Hi ladies.... I ran into the office today to use the computer since still having home computer issues. Had to do some research for Dave & print out the researched information
Treated myself to a massage at the military gym. The therapist I go to I see typically 2x a year - right before & right after my fitness test. I usually chat w/her when I see her at the gym & we're FB friends as well. On Friday, I was giving her an update of what has occurred in my life since 3/9. When she asked what she could do for me I boldly stated what openings do you have on Sunday?
No big surprise my back & neck were full of knots... gee, I have been under great stress since 3/9..... Dave's still in the hospital, my kids are still temporiarly living w/my ex, etc etc etc. HOWEVER, therapist told me afterwards she noticed weight loss and more muscle tone. Stated it's obvious the kickboxing is toning me up.
Kelly - hope all is well w/your Mom.
Off to go home - feed dog then to Philadelphia to visit w/Dave. There's an estimate of discharge this week or next week. Then he'll go to another hospital for outpatient treatment 5x a week.
Enjoy Sunday evening - wishing all a great week.0 -
It's Monday,
Spent the whole weekend in bed. Ended up at the late night clinic Friday with horrible ear pain. The doc gave me ear drops, eye drops, and antibiotics. Seems to be helping some. Not feeling my best but back to work anyway. hoping to do better this week. DD decided not to come home after work last night so I had to call her at 6:00 am and told her I need her home so I can go to work. I hate sharing a car with her and her being sooo irresponsible. Well things are not going good on the job hunting so I will just keep on looking.
Hope everyone is ok.0 -
evenin' team...mom is in the hospital another nite. her oxygen level has been below 90% and once it raises she will likely come home. her sugar upon arriving was near 400 and has gradually come down to 88! think she has been on liquid or soft diet. they are still giving her breathing treatments with a nebulizer and i don't know the results of her heart/lung scan. i talked with her nurse around 4:40 this afternoon and they were just faxing those results to the dr. she does not want visitors and my dad stressed this again to me this am when i talked to him. so, today i don't think anyone was there. this really upsets me. why do people feel this way? i am trying to understand. mad or not, i feel i need to visit her...
went for 2 different walks today...a mile each and windy again. therapy went well, and i am going in the am's now. she said i am doing pretty good and commented that i will most likely not return to finish the school year.
thinkin of each of you with love and peace. 0 -
Kelly - praying for your Mom.
I got word last night the hospital is planning to discharge Hubby on Wednesday. As of right now, I don't have a time so I could not tell my boss if I'm working a 1/2 day or full day.
Wishing all a good day.0 -
Hi all,
Well its Tuesday and I am again having a slow start this morning. I go to bed saying tomorrow when I get up I'll take a walk befor work, or I'll do sit ups. Just can't seem to get motivated to move. Am eating ok not binging to much, Just lost focus. I feel bad for complaining, you all got sooo much going on. But I promise to keep praying for everyone.
Hope to say on eating smart, Hope everyone has a better day today:smooched:0 -
Jacque - perhaps focus on one thing... a daily goal.... as you gain success with small daily goals then increase to bigger things.
Just a thought.0 -
gettin ready to go to the hospital. mom is in for another nite. will check back later.0
