Join me... 100 pounds to lose! -part 3

Woo hoo, Had a nice loss this week!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: down 1.6 lbs this week :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

That's much more realistic than my hubs asking how to log chasing our 74lb dog down the street, catching him and carrying him back half a kilometer under his arm.......LOL How do you log that????? LOL It's a good 5 minute run, plus then the walk back plus half the time you're carryign that 74lb weight.....SILLY DOG, but if that's the only exercsie he'll get, I guess I have to "forget" to close the door more often.....tee hee!

I can only imagine, LOL :laugh: :laugh:

Good luck wiuth those jobs Barb, I am finally seeing some to apply to and they are even in my field. Maybe I am not so dumb to hank in there after all. Hope we both get interviews.

I have been meaning to start to add in some strength training for ever. Today I did and it went alot better than the last time I tried it. I even figured out how to log in most of it too. I do not have many free exercise days to do it so it may be just a day or 2 a week but at least it is a start.

Hope all is well for you all.

Keri

It`s almost TOM for me, and I`m actually down over the course of August.....it`s been an emotional month for me and stressful at work so I`m not unhappy with it. I figure I might as well do a full update since it`s been a while.

1. I`ve been working 60 hours a week minimum (usually more like 80 hours) to close on a project that is finally back under control. I`m getting ready to close it and work on other things now....it can be considered a success!!! YAY

2. My hubs and I decided to plan a big wedding renewal for our 10th anniversary, so I`ve rounded up a group of 10 women to help me decorate and design. It`s gotten quite a bit bigger than I was planning, but it`s all good - I didn`t realize I knew 100 people, but that`s just the list of people that I have to invite....LOL

3. I start medication this week to get my body ready in early October for an IVF treatment. We`ve been trying for children since we got married. We both have fertility issues. Mine are treatable with lifestyle changes and medication, his is not so IVF is our only option. We`ve been struggling with whether or not to transfer one or two embryos.....I think we`re at the point of deciding on one at a time - it would be easier on me with single births...it really depends though on how many good embryos we get. Lots of decisions.....

4. I haven`t stuck as closely to the healthy lifestyle as I should have.....because of the above reasons plus my anemia has been kicking my butt. I started going for B12 shots on top of the iron pills and I have a desperate need to sleep as soon as I get home for 2 hours and then spend an hour with my family and then back to bed.......feels like my life has been work 12 hours, sleep 2, eat 1, work 3, sleep 6 hours and then again.....

Thanks Our anniversary is in October, but we're renewing in December. First off, I couldn't ask my in-law to fly here 3x times this year (they've already been once and come every christmas) and secondly, with all of the fertility stuff, I'm going to be doing the medical stuff on our anniversary so.....I didn't want the added stress of the renewal at the same time. We wanted to do it even though it's only our 10th because hopefully this is truly the start of a new phase of our life.......because it's not a wedding, but a renewal, we're having my husband's uncle officiate (it wouldn't be legal, but we're already legally married....LOL). He's the most spiritual man we know and has been there for us through all the struggles and has really helped us get through so it only seemed fitting It's only going to be a big thing because we apparently have so many must have people......but we've rented out a party room in a restaurant (and bar....) and that's about it. We're not getting another wedding dress or any of that other jazzy stuff. My girlfriends are going to bake me a "COOKIE" cake and we're going to have some fun doing the crafty stuff....

Hey everyone, I'm still here, just been needing some time off from almost everything. This week has been a bad week. Hubby started a new job and has been gone all week (is coming home today), my daughter started 2nd grade, but was having some really really bad days (she's adhd with no medicine right now due to lack of insurance). I started a new job, yesterday was my 1st day....I didn't log anything last couple of days, so tomorrow at weigh in, i expect a bad weigh in. Hopefully I'll be returning next week.

Thanks, Keri! I think as the weeks pass, we'll be okay. However, I did get a call from my daughter's teacher last night about some things he has been seeing with her already, so looks like today after school, I will be calling her teacher back. so far, for me and hubby are jobs are going good, hubby is getting more miles than he did with his previous and he loves it and everything about the job! My job is going well, not really too excited about working at McDonald's but its a job and every little bit helps, I do however have fun with the people I am working with, so maybe its not so bad after all, lol.

Hope everyone is doing good! I'm hoping as I get use to this new schedule to get back on track. I'm off today and suppose to be going on a walk this morning with a friend. So, here's to getting back on track!

Take care everyone!
