Getting' it done - Week 4 (closed)

hi everyone....i'm sorry i haven't been posting on here very much lately...been beyond super crazy busy,lol

ok so i am going to rivera maya,mexico. the resort looks SO amazing...i can't wait to go....a whole week with my BFF. we had planned on going to vegas but things kept happening and we couldn't make it, so she is going to mexico for a friend's wedding in march and invited me to go along with her. the funny part is the week i get back from mexico is my 11th wedding anniversary and i got married in mexico,lol...it'll be a little funny not having the hubby with me,lol.
so on a sad note i had quite a bit of junkfood this weekend. the hubby has been working out of town on weekends so this past weekend i rented a video game for the kids and of course bought junk food which i had some of....not as much as i normally would but i did have some...not happy about it but what the heck is the fun in life without bumps in the road right? LOL
knowing i have really sucky willpower means i WILL NOT be buying junk food this weekend...i'm just going to remove the temptation completely.
since last week was so busy i did not make it to the gym as i had hoped so it looks like this week will be my first week back at the gym....kinda looking forward to going but also a little nervous. i know i'll be ok once i get there...it's just getting up the nerves to go.
haven't put any of the weight back on so that is a good note, but i haven't lost any either
ok off to have breakfast then off to do groceries. and maybe the gym
have a great day ladies!

Hello all, things are ok here it has been a stressfull week. We found out not to long ago that my husband has a son that is 6 that he obviously didn't know he had. This kid has been through a lot... the guy he thought was his dad just left with no word said and has had nothing to do with him since he is not his. So his mom says that meeting my husband is good but meeting me would be to much for him. She has however alowed my husbands parents to meet him. I dont think she likes me. She has actually said that this has nothing to do with me and it is between her and my husband. She needs to know that this does involve me as my husband and I have kids and we are a family. My husband is not a person to stand up for himself and does not like to create conflict. I am having a very hard time with this and need a shoulder to cry on. My husband really wants me to go but wants what is best for his kid too. Im frusterated.
On a better note I am doing really good with my food and exercise. What dont kill us only makes us stronger... Im going to be one tough bi!ch when this is all done!!!!!

Wow, Corrie, Laura, tough situations! It's hard when you are doing everything right and other people's actions affect you so deeply. You are both in my prayers! Corrie, I use the same coping mechanisms and have recently dicovered that if I take a nap I am much better able to handle things in 20 minutes (without food!). I know when life is busy and people need you it's hard to justify sleep, but if it works for you, you'll be better able to help them. Just a thought Good luck to you both!

ps-what is a fitbit??

laura-i am sorry you are having a tough time right now....i have 2 stepkids (i knew about them from the start) and i may sound like a royal bit@h but i am SO happy they don't live with us,lol...they are spoiled brats! the mom told alot of lies so they don't want anything to do with their dad (my hubby)....it sounds horrible but we are both happy that way, all they do when they do visit is pick on and threaten our 2 sons...i guess it would have helped if i don't feel so bad about putting the brats in there place,lol

ok so no go for the gym last week....i was down and out with a migraine almost all week...finally feeling like myself again. so this past weekend i came to a decision...i am so freaking tired of killing myself over not drinking pop...so i have decided to drink diet pop....still evil but ALOT less evil then drinking regular pop. and i am going to limit how many cans in a week. i'd like to stay under 3 but will cut myself off at 4 a week. week days aren't too much of an issue it the weekends that are killer....the hubby works out of town on weekends so it is just me and our 2 sons...and holy stress batman! they have a way of KNOWING when to push my buttons,lol....but still laying off the junk food. so the hubby's last weekend out of town is around jan.20th....so i told him that he owes me a WHOLE weekend out of town,lol...he looked like he was about to protest so i very nicely informed him if he wanted to get laid anytime soon he wouldn't say no to us going away,lol. so now not only do i have a trip to mexico in march that i want to lose weight for i now have a date weekend with the hubby where i want to look really sexy....argh! i'm so worried i won't be able to do it all in time


ok so i am going to keep my goals the same for this week (week 5) since i failed week 4

Michelle - can you hide me in your suitcase???

My night out was great fun but I ate and drank way too much.

No exercise for the next 2 days. I am having a colonoscopy on Tues, dr wants me on clear liquids tomorrow and no exercise the day of the procedure.

Hope everyone else is ok.

Just want to say thanks for being positive and friendly people. It is great!! Things are good here! Our son's birthday is Friday and we had his party this last weekend and are having a movie night in two weekends when Cars 2 comes out on video. The party was great I did really good with food and cake intake!!! I had another loss this week and am soooo glad my jeans are getting really loose!! We are hoping to get a weekend with the new son soon, but we will have to see! Went to the pumpkin patch with my son's preschool today and now I need to get to school work!
Michelle that pool looks very inviting! I live in Oregon and the cloudy days are back and I want the sun back. You can reach that goal just stick to your guns!!
Lynn good luck with the colonoscopy tomorrow. Sorry you cant exercise. I know on the days i dont, I feel sluggish. Glad you had a good night out!!! I need one!
Hope everyone else is doing good!!

has anyone heard from corrie? is she ok?


last week was a good week....this week isn't starting off so hot....i walked for over 2 hours last night (hallowe'en night)...but when i got home my youngest son was sitting in my lap and was eating a sucker...something happened (still not sure how) but i ended up getting the sucker stick right in the eye...so right now my one eye is hurting and blurry...but it will be ok...but just a pain in the *kitten* right now...have a ton of things to do but for now since i don't wanna take a chance on driving they are on hold. that trip to mexico is looking really good right now,lol....it is cold and windy here in sudbury talked to my dad today and he was saying he is getting the candy dishes all clean so he can fill them up for christmas....good god help me...i love candy and even more so at christmas time it's gonna be a hard time at my dad's house for christmas,lol.

how is everyone else doing?

I have not heard anything from Corrie either. Not sure what is going on. Hope your eye is better Michelle. I am with you Lynn, having all the candy around is very hard. So far I have done good with candy. I am resisting temptation. I have been going over my calories and only had a .4 loss last week. My aunt was in town for the adoption and loves to take us out for unhealthy food. It was crazy but so good. I really enjoyed the food but didnt like the results on the scale. I guess it could have been worse, I could have gained. Hope you two have a good week. It seems to just be the three of us on here anymore.
