Sixers Love Yourself Challenge - Week 2

Just had to share a little for today:

At dinner, we (the fam) were talking and my daughter was telling her daddy about the Wii game she was playing, Disney's Sing It. She was talking about a song from HSM star Corbin Bleu. My husband asked, "now which kid is that in the movie" and she said, "you know, he played Chad, he had the fuzzy hair". So here is my love in that. I love that my husband and I have not taught our children to identify people by their race. When I was growing up, my parent's would have said, oh the black boy in the movie. But my sweet kiddo didn't even go there, and that is because we choose not to do that. Looking forward to the new week. Have a great night!

bless you kistin.....you will be ok, i believe that, you have a great heart and are a great person.....do what you need to do....your live is what is most important.....we will keep your space warm and cozy waiting for your return.....remember we are here if you need to just vent....best of luck to you, and i will say a prayer for you... ya.....

i will most likely have a gain tomorrow, i know why, so i am not upset about it, just putting things together again. i need to get my eating in order. i need to stick to my carb count, to make my decision on where my eating is going. something the doctor and i discussed and i need to figure out for me. just rambling, sorry.

i today is i burned 1000 calories at the gym today....real proud...been awhile since i have done that.

off to shower and finish laundry and get to the doctors.

later girls

I got to the community center for my monday workout. I am always glad to get it in, because once the day gets going and I think I can get it in later, it never happens. I have been pretty good with my meals today, but am thinking about going out to dinner and don't know that I can handle it without eating too many calories.

Kristen, Hope all is well with you. We miss you and hope you return to full swing here soon. Things just aren't the same without you.

Cathy, You should be proud, burning 1000 calories in one visit to the gym is AWESOME!!!

Amylou, Glad to hear you made it back. You had a long break; everyone around here has been back in classes for at least a week.

Hope you all have a great day & I'll check in tomorrow:flowerforyou:

well, the doctor didn't give me good news. i went thinking i was having bad acid reflux attacts. he tells me that it's my gall bladder and that since i have been having major and often attacts, he is sending me for a ultrasound, first thing tommorrow morning, if it looks inflamed must be removed asap. if not, than he is giving me a few weeks to have it taken out. when i had my hystertomy many years ago, they did a test and it showed that it was disfuntional and and didn't work. the doctor than said don't worry about it. well, my doctor today tells me no it should have been done then while they were in there, now it is causeing me problems that could have been raising cain in my tummy. i just want the attacts to go away they are VERY painful, last for over an hour. i will have to follow a low fat diet. DH said while he internet surfing on it, he found that i won't absorb fat any more. i wish.
well, off to put my jammies on. need to fast for this test.....
see ya in the morn'.....

I would be interested in knowing your symtoms(sp?). I am a long time sufferer of acid reflux which doesnt seem to be healing with the strongest of meds, changed diet, etc. My SIL who is in school to become a Nurse Practitioner thinks it is my gallbladder and not acid reflux. The more and more I hear of people suffering from those attacks the more I start to see her point. If you dont mind sharing??

WOW congrats kge8580 on the the run.....had you worked up to running for 30 mins? or did you do it a little at a time? i have been working on c25k again. now it looks like i might be holding off yet again. just not my time to run.....

pdx....let's see, DX for reflux a years back. over a year ago i had a really bad attack, wasn't getting the gurd in the throat or anything, just allot of chest and back pain. couldn't breath felt like a heart attact. DH took me to the er. they said it was a bad reflux attact, which can mimick a heart attact. my dad has had three. anyway was on prilosec until it went over counter, switched to nexium. still was having these pains. attacts start in the back around bra strap and move to the right side, to the front upper rib cage. by this time it's all the way around (for gall bladder it is normally just right side, if it's infected it's all around). the pain is stabbing, squezing, burning, if you take a deep breath it feels like someone is stabbing you. it comes on 1 or more hours after i eat, and lasts 1 or more hours. it just goes away, just as suddenly as it can come on. i get sorta sick to my stomach, he asked today if i get a fever during them. i don't think so, but i might, i get sweaty. i never get the yucky stuff in my throat. that is another reason why he is turning from the reflux. i do get constipated allot too. while he was pushing on my right side stomache it was very painful. i hope this helps. we find lots of info online. i won't know anything tomorrow. doctor said he would see me in a week, unless it was bad than he would call me. if it's just stones than it doesn't have to come out asap, just soon. he laughed and patted me on the shoulders, just needs to come out, i will give you a few weeks to set things up. he's a sweet doctor, i really like him...i'll keep you updated...

Hi ladies!!

Deb - I know! It was a really long break and I'm hoping I can remember how to study!!

Robin - It is good to be back, and I'm hoping to be back here in full force as well. Haven't been tracking cals as I should be!

Cathy - I hope everything gets figured out with the ultrasound tomorrow! We will be thinking about you!

Kristin - I will echo what everyone else has said, but you know we are always here if you need us!!

Katie - Good job!! I think i've only done that once, and it was probably 3 or 4 years ago and I haven't seen that since!! Awesome!!!

Rhiannon, Amy - Good to hear from you both as always, hope your days finished out well!!

Hello to anyone I missed!!! First day of classes tomorrow for this semester, only have one though so it shouldn't be too bad. Hope it gets out in time to watch the inauguration festivities though!!! :bigsmile:

Need to get back on track with C25K....it's been a while, to say the least!! I think when I left off I was on Week 3 maybe? and that was probably a month ago! Yikes!! Hope to do that tomorrow and outside if it stays nice enough here. Otherwise on the treadmill or the Shred DVD, felt really pretty good after I did that the last time.

Not sure on meals yet, perhaps should get some groceries tomorrow so I can actually make something. hehe:laugh:

Love you all, have a great night and see you in the morning for Check-in!!!! Gain, loss, or maintain, you are all fantastic women that I am honored to be in this challenge with!!
