    Hello My Lovely LOST Ladies~
    Em~ I have not had one done myself but my husband has a CPAP. My sleep issues are because I work an overnight shift. My natural body clock is I'm a morning person. I work overnights which totally goes against my natural body functions. I have a rough time sleeping during the day because I am a light sleeper and every noise wakes me...unfortunately I am also a person that once I wake up...I'm UP...I want to jump up and get things going. The world does not understand people who work nights, the doorbell gets rung, people are outside mowing lawns, kids are playing etc! My body also deals with stress by giving insomnia...my minds RACES like crazy and I haven't figured out how to slow it down, let alone shut it off!
    But thanks for thinking of me! I hope you are finding your motivation...because you are soooo worth the efforts!!!
    Have a FAB_U_LOSS day my friends!!!!

    Thank you Cindy, I got home at 2:30am (26 days gone). I was so glad to climb into my own bed! My mom is totally moved into her new place, unpacked, and settled. We went through everything she owned (84 years worth of stuff, she had been in the house for 44 years). I had the house emptied, all the contractors get everything done to sell and got the realtor lined up, so now the house just needs to sell and the realtor expects it to be sold in a couple of weeks, the Denver market is hot. I am glad to be done. Now I am going to purge my house again, I don't want my kids to go through that. I also want to concentrate on my weight so I am ready for Joe's wedding in Nov.

    I hope all you ladies are having a great weekend. B)

    @FindingCindy721 - Sounds like you're going to have your hands full tomorrow. I'm sure that should count as a cardio exercise! :)

    Hellooooooo

    I hope everyone is doing well. It seems like forever since I've been here. I am on the upswing after a bout of depression.

    I've missed everyone!

    Hello my lovely LOST Ladies
    I have been without my mfp for a while....I had some issues with my phone and just switched carriers. I am trying hard to get back on track. I've been hiking and walking a couple miles a day for the past couple weeks. Haven't steeped on the scale yet but will do that this weekend!
    How is everyone doing?

    Hi Cindy, I am doing o.k. I am dealing with the selling of mom's house long distance. We close on May 4th so it will be done. I am working on my eating, getting back to basics. I am ready to focus on me.

    I hope everyone is doing o.k. and life is going good for them. <3

    Great job you guys. Cindy don't worry about the scale, you're back in the game, one step at a time.

    Mystic, congrats on selling the house. We're all a work in progress.

    It's been a rough few weeks between work, school, and mom issues. I'm getting through it though. Me and one of my good friends planned a trip to New Orleans for this weekend months ago! We've paid for everything and I was seriously thinking about not going. I'm going though. I need a quick getaway.


    Tomorrows hump day!

    MdwstQT~ I'm glad you are going on your trip! You DESERVE it and I hope you have an AMAZING time!!!!

    Liz~ Glad things are settling down for you!

    Each time I think I'm getting everything back in control....BAM....life smacks me in the head and says "what are you thinking??" LOL My middle son and his girl split up again...which mean Grandma to the rescue. Don't get me wrong...I LOVE my lil monkey but these kids were sooooo NOT ready to have kids!!! I will be having him more so that is good for me...but also means I am on hold....my me time is going to be much less again!!!!! SO I am looking for ways to squeeze in whatever I can whenever I can! Trips to the park and playing on the playground are going to become interesting workouts! I will not forget about me! I also found out about an interesting app called 8 fit....it's supposed to have a bunch of short 10 min workouts so I am going to check that out too!

    Have a FAB_U_LOSS day my friends!!!!

    QT, I hope you go and have an awesome time. New Orleans is a place I have always wanted to go.

    Cindy, I think you are right to look for where you can squeeze you in. Every little bit helps. You will get your life back. I know you suffer the motherhood curse of thinking you have to do it all. Remember to prioritize what is important to YOU and your well being and do what you can.

    To all you ladies, Be kind to yourself. We are our own worst critics and can be very hard on ourselves. In the next couple of days, do something nice for yourself and pat yourself on the back.

    Have a great day!

    Hello my lovely LOST Ladies~
    Well we got past hump day...I have had 2 birthdays in my family this week but only ate 1 piece of cake! SMALL victory but one I will take.
    I hope you are all doing well!

    Thanks Liz!!! It seems like more of a struggle than ever lately! Struggling harder than ever to pick myself up. I purged my kitchen early in the week and filled up on fresh fruits and veggies but don't seem to have a lot of oomph for some reason!
    Well today is birthday number 3 this week. My oldest son turns 27!!! But NO CAKE for me! I don't even want it so it doesn't seem like a victory!
    I hope everyone is having a FAB_U_LOSS week!!!

    Cindy, It might not be a victory but it can be looked on as a blessing, one less thing you have to fight yourself on ;)

    I hope everyone has an awesome weekend! <3

    Hi Liz!!! I'm not sure what happened I wrote a whole post and it disappeared instead of posting!!! So glad to see you. How's everything going? Are you all ready for that wedding?

    Hi Cindy, I am doing all right. I am saving for the wedding (I have time Nov. 5th). I am struggling with my weight. I do good during the day, then snack way to much at night. I am getting back to exercising everyday, but you can't out exercise a bad diet... I am trying though and taking it one day at a time. I am feeling more motivated and I think that will help. I hope you are being kind to yourself. (((Hugs))) <3
