    Hi everyone... I just wanted to check in and say hi. I am dealing with losing my townhouse that my daughter and I are living in. My landlord left a letter in my door the other day giving me a 14 day notice to vacate. My parents used to help me (since I am a single mom) but they cannot help any more. Last month I paid all but $250 of my rent. This month I paid all but $535. I owe them $785 and rent is due in less than 2 weeks for next month. I reached out to the Boston Catholic Charities but I haven't heard back. I tried to obtain a personal loan for $1500 just to get back on track (because then I will be caught up and then some and I could afford my place until my lease ends). But I was denied due to my credit score (my ex ruined my credit when we were together).

    So, in other words, I am drowning. I am still trying to log but I haven't exercised. I spend my nights researching and crying and attempting to sleep. I have to stay strong for my daughter so she doesn't know what's going on. It's all I can do.

    Anyways.... hope you all are meeting your goals and doing well. Thanks for understanding why I'm on temporary hiatus.

    xoxo

    All I can do is PRAY for you!! I KNOW exactly what you ar going through because I have been there so many times as a single mom.

    I spent so mny nights wondering what I was going to do. God pulled me through each ime. I hope the Catholic organization will pull throgh for you so you don't have to take out the loan. Can you find a cheaper place to live? Do you ge child support? I never got child support and that stinks big time!! :-(

    If you were close by, I would give you my spare bedroom.

    We understand when you are not here. But know ho much we all love & upport you. Please keep us posted, for we will worry about you.

    (((HUGGS))))) LOVE & PRAYERS

    OHHHHHHHHHHHH I lost 3 pounds this week!!

    But NOT from following my 5!!!! Tying to fit the 5 in daily is just NOT working for me.

    I think next week, I will pick 1 goal, and try to strive for the five that will help get me there. This way I don't get dcouraged. I focused on eating right to lose some of what I gained and I did lose, but could not keep up with 5 daily. I set myself up for failure. :-(

    Next weeks goal will be to lose 2 pounds! By trying to follow my Strive for Five!! :-)



    Hope everyone is doing well. I do agre, that it helps me when I see others struggle like me.
    Ohhhh if life could only be easier.....................

    I'm in!! My weekly goal this week is to run 3X this week, and to walk 5 miles 3X this week. (I've started the C25K challenge, I'm going to repeat week 1 only because it's KILLING my legs - this fat girl hasn't "run" for 25years!!)

    Well, I didn't do so well - I had to stop running until I can get a good pair of running shoes.... :ohwell: but it's ok - I did either walk or ride my bicycle (or both) everyday last week... and I was under my calories goals everyday.... so I'll take that.

    This week, I want to get a workout DVD or two so I do something other than walk. Also, to stay in under my goal EVERYDAY, and not cheat on the holiday weekend. Other than that, I will walk 20 miles this week. :drinker:
