Hey all.... have two doctor appt today. My primary set me up for an allegry test tomorrow0
-
seeing cardiologist in the am. just yearly check up. I bet my wt will be 10lbs MORE than last year. :ohwell:
trying to get back to health - i - er....:bigsmile:
thinkin of ya all..anyone wanna hang out this weekend?0 -
Well, Kelly, my weight increased 11-14 lbs (depending on who's scale) since September.
My primary is sending me for allegry testing today. Ah, the needles .....
I have my fitness test soon and with the weight gain, I am just depressed. Yesterday I went to purchase a dress for a holiday party. I had to get a size 16. I have not worn a 16 before. Granted the dress looks beautiful on me.... the problem I had with dresses in other sizes was the waist or the chest. What would fit in waist -- too small in chest... What would fit in the chest was too small in waist. My boobs are just the size I like. So there's no desire to decrease them.
Haven't been kickboxing... lost desire to be there.
Primary doctor and I realized my blood pressure is normal during the days I am not at work. High on days I am at work. The blood pressure med lowered my blood pressure too much. So the thought is try anti anxiety 2x daily (instead of as needed) for 30 days. My cpap comes next Friday. See what happens. Granted, I think wearing the uniform stresses me out... my personal issues stress me out....
Kelly, I would love to hang out with you this weekend. I'm working Saturday & Sunday. And my work is having a holiday party this Saturday night.0 -
Barb...been thinking about ya...how did the testing go? I have to agree with people when they say our bodies start to fall apart when we hit our 40's. Seems like it is always something...I thought 40 was the new 20? even 30...
I have been avoiding new clothes for quite some time now. I am surely up a size or so, and knowing that the clothes I am wearing are tight are depressing enuf.
stress..wish it wasn't even a feeling....didn't exist. wouldn't it be great if instead of stress we felt giggly or tired. heck I'd even take burpy or farty...or smelly :huh:
My appt went ok. weight up almost 5 lbs from July of 2010. go back in a year. my lowest wt there was in '05 at 179. that seems like impossible. how did I do that? hmmm
I have a bus trip tomorrow, probably a 12-13 hr day. If ya want, give me a call...but text first so I can get where it's quiet. It gets pretty loud in the gyms...and 12 teams!0 -
Morning all.... allegry testing of the 72 items I was tested for in the Northeast Region, I am allegric to 30. Funny, how beef and corn are two of the items I have an allegry to.
Dust, dust mites, several types of grasses, several types of trees, several types of weeds and mold. Per the RN, I should be suffering year round. Weekly allegry shots were suggested. Unsure if I can make that committment of time & co-pay costs.
The RN didn't have to wait the full 15 minutes to measure my reactions. I was immediately swelling up. When Mike saw my back about 6 hours later, I had swollen spots and he wanted to know what did they do to me.
For now, a nasal spray & over the counter nasal rinse. When I return to my primary next month, I'll discuss options w/him.
Again, my dental crown broke off.... lucky for me going to the dentist on Friday.
Regarding the size 16 dress. Yes, it felt comfortable and I received many compliments from others on how nice I looked.
Talk soon.

Barb...this is why you love bacon...you're not suppose to have corn and beef. gosh almost 1/2 of the items you reacted to. you need to live in a bubble hon. no more yard work for you or bonfires.....get Mike to water the yard, flowers and mow and pull weeds. no more picnics in the yard. didn't you live in the southwest one time? did you fair well then? I have some sniffles today...guess I am feeling for ya...take care my friend.
had a day(bus)trip today. went to the mall while kids bowled. depressing. now I can clearly see why resistance workouts are important...um, necessary. I did not like what I saw. I did my Billy Blanks Tae Bo basic workout and then Biggest Loser Boot Camp. It's a start. One was 24 minutes and one was 20. For each one my HRM said 157 cals burned. Not sure what to think. Hope it's nothing but maybe the battery?
went to my nieces Winter Chorus and Band concert tonite. was definitely entertained. Mom and sis suggested McDonald's afterwards...really? I had a hamburger and a few of my mom's fries. she offered me a cone before leaving, I declined.
Scott is off this week...deer hunting. filled his tag yesterday. tomorrow I have to give his uncle a haircut. Wednesday we have early out, Thursday I have another bus trip, Saturday too. Gonna be a fast week. Need to get my tree up.0 -
Kelly - it was my AZ time that started my allegeries. When the moonsoon winds picked up all the dust & floated it around the air. I got hit w/allegries upon return of our Vegas trip -- as you know Vegas was windy for us. My estimate the Vegas winds floated crap in the air that I should not be breathing.
It was advised I hire someone to clean my house & do my yardwork. If I dust/vaccum I need to wear a mask. Strongly suggested I do not do yardwork.
Didn't sleep well last night -- maybe start of an UTI, maybe the sleep apena... maybe the bad dreams. Mike said I did mutter a loud sound in my sleep. He couldn't make out what I said but the tone of my sound wasn't good - almost like I was frightened.
All I want to do is sleep...................... sleep.................... I was thinking doing kickboxing tonight... yawn, I am soo tired. Been that way for days now. I get my cpap machine on Friday. Never expected me to have sleep apena.0 -
After working at the hospital for 6 years, this was the business I went into...house cleaning. Then I added bus driving. My BIL's wife helped for about a year. Then bus driving kinda took over. I really enjoyed it and it was one of those jobs where you were immediately rewarded....leaving a house clean and cash payment! If I was there, I'd have you on my schedule every 2-3 weeks.
I'm praying that the cpap will help you feel better, and that you sleep more soundly so that you wake rested. take care.0 -
Night one w/cpap..... I didn't want Mike to see me wearing the mask (I felt it would make me less desirable to him). I was too nervous to get it hooked on me properly so he had to do that. Then he did the sweetest thing... snuggled up behind me like he does - Mike acted as if me wearing a cpap is no big deal to him. The other way we sleep is me resting my head on his chest. Well, that I am very uncomfortable trying that w/the mask on.
I wore the mask for about 2 hours -- must have taken off to go to the bathroom. Then wore again for about 2 hours when he left for work (this was at 5am).
So today I will attempt a nap w/the mask on.... Will say this -- I can't talk w/the mask on.
Have a good weekend0 -
Made it through Sunday night w/cpap on.... got up once for bathroom -- came back to bed & put cpap back on.
This morning driving to work and so far at my desk, I am not constantly yawning. Of course, staying in bed was way more interesting than going to work.....
My uniform skirt felt tight this morning. So I must return to kickboxing or do something. Financially things are tough, and I just don't want to pay for the class... however doing on my own w/a DVD or wii fit isn't the best. I'll find excuses not to....0 -
Glad to hear you are adjusting to the cpap. All the times I have been around my mom (mostly in hotels on trips) it was never a bother. I actually think it help put me to sleep. Very soothing imho.
tight clothes here too. refuse to buy anything new. That's the main reason I have never belonged to a gym, $$. and I would have to drive about a half hour one way. Just ain't worth it to me. I have plenty of tapes and dvd's here. Just need A LOT of ambition....where do I get that? :huh:
Had my last wrestling *Saturday* of the year. Have one Thursday then 2 field trips next week. I don't even have my tree up or any shopping done nor xmas cards. bummer. today was dog pampering day. bedding & toys washed, they're bathed, did nails, ears next and will brush them when they are dry. Scott went back to work today after being off a week to deer hunt. we have fresh burger & minute steaks out this years harvest. have mamm tomorrow.0 -
Well, my ex husband canceled tomorrow's visitation appt w/the kids. This is the 2nd appt he's canceled. I can't begin to state how disappointed I am.
As of this writing, DFYS hasn't called me w/a rescheduled appt therefore I plan to go to the office unless my attorney or the case worker tells me differently.
I haven't found my ambition yet.....0 -
Hey Ladies.... what's up?0

Hi Barb! guess it's just you and me lately, sure miss the other gals...
How's the cpap working for ya? I hope it's getting to be routine for you. Do you feel different since using it? I pray every single day for you to be reunited with your kids again...courage...hope...strength...love...faith...The good Lord is with you always, and so I am. ((HUGS)) lots and lots
I love this time of year and I also kinda hate it only because of the stress...and anxiety it causes me. Normal for me to average 6 hrs of sleep at nite. Will all be over come Sunday, so the end is nearing! I have been on 3 different shopping trips. Should have taken a day off from driving to get it all done. Most of my cards are finished, just need to mail them. Did some baking, but doing more, mostly cookies. Since Scott's folks winter in AZ, we only have a gathering with my folks, my brother and sister and their families. We will have our Christmas with the boys Sunday.
I have a field trip Wednesday with high school to the Veteran's Hospital in Iowa City, then Friday we are taking our 2 elementary schools to a movie, no early out for us....go back Jan 5th. And, we have not had any snow yet!! Can you believe that!:bigsmile:
Scott and I are shopping Thursday and going out for lunch. This rarely happens, so am looking forward to it.
that's my update...hope you are all doing ok and enjoying the holiday season! love to each of you 0 -
cpap... better... my face still breaks outs where the nasal pillow is.... overall getting more used to the machine. I will say I don't feel as tired in the morning.
Thank you for your prayers. I do appreciate it.
The only gifts I purchased was floral arrangement for Mike's Mom & a book for his son. My kids got cash. I ordered a fruit arrangement for my parents last month. It's being delivered on Friday.
I am not particularly fond of this time of year.... I'm sure if I didn't have Mike I would be more depressed.
This Christmas I am spending Christmas Eve at Mike's Mom house... he'll visit his son in the morning. Then when he returns, I will do breakfast for him & his Mom. After breakfast, we're off to Atlantic City. And I am soooo looking forward to that. Unfortunately, Aunt Flo may come with us.... urghhhh...
Talk to you soon.0 -
Merry Christmas everyone. spent most of the day at my parents..brother and his family and sister and her kids, along with my family. we had a turkey dinner and opened gifts following.
hope you're all enjoying the holiday. take care0 -
Overall, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day & Day after Christmas was very nice. Better than I expected. Mike's family was very welcoming and accepting to me.
So despite not seeing my children, the past 3 days were very nice.
Mike & I didn't exchange gifts - did an Atlantic City overnight on Christmas Day at Harrahs. This casino has an awesome indoor pool area with several jazzucis. After walking the boardwalk for a bit, Mike and I had an early dinner at Rainforest Cafe.
The funniest part about my Christmas w/Mike -- our cards. We did exchange cards... And we got each other the same card -- purchased in towns 30 minutes away. It was very funny. Guess after 3 months, we know each other well -- guess Eharmony knows what they are doing.
Take care0 -
Hope everyone had a good Holiday! Well started back to work last week (new job) was so tired by friday I had no desire to do Christmas. Spent Christmas eve with mom and dad, as usual there was a fight before it was over and as usual over something very stupid. Sometimes I think they like to fight just to hear themselves. Went to church on Christmas morning, was nice. Spent the rest of the day with Girlfriend family (aka ex sister in law) Thank God my ex is never there lol.Yesterday I woke up and decided to take down Christmas and spent the whole day cleaning. Felt good that I got it done, but was sooo tired by the end of the day. Didn't sleep very good last night got to work on that.
So yesterday I started with eating healthy, didn't log yesterday but did start today. Going to weight myself tomorrow for a new baseline and get back to weight on Fridays as before.
Barb- so I started a journal again and feels like its helping, and ocassionally I will do the list thing taht you talked about, It's so funnywhat ends up on the list, boy I never realized how much I push under and ignore. Atlantic city sounds great, glade you had a good time
Kelly-Thanks for the text on Christmas, hope you had a good time with your family.0 -
Jacque - good luck w/the new job.
I got a sleeping man on my couch who woke up slightly enough to tell me he doesn't want to eat any dinner. What????? At this point the oven is beeping....
Right now, I seriously would like to dump all the Christmas candy out.... I finished a box of chocolates by myself (waiting for sleeping man to wake up). Problem is that sleeping man has a huge sweet tooth like me.... problem 2 being he has bettter self control than me.
Sigh.....0 -
So I logged in today and even with being over 52 calories I feel good! I set a goal and finish it. yay me!
I know what you mean about sweet tooth, I got a bad one. I need to get rid of these christmas cupcakes, I had one tonight and that what put me over. so tomorrow another day Good night all!!!0 -
So I weight myself today and was 248, not bad considering being so inactive the last couple of months. I know when I went to the doctor a week ago I was 254. I think just getting back to work help bring it down. So hope to do a little better today. If not to cold going to take a walk outside at lunch time. Goal again today is logging food. Praying that the kids decide to finish up the cupcakes before I get home tonight. LOL
Hope all is well! talk to ya later0 -
So went for a walk thru the tunnel too cold for outside. It was only 10 min but hey every little bit helps huh lol.0

hey there gang.
I am glad, very glad to see Miss Jacque back here. I think about all you ladies a lot. Miss ya. I don't know what my problem is, other than I am an emotional eater. probably a binge eater. likely an addiction. I just get so dang tired of this battle. Seems impossible. I have been eating so horribly, so very, very bad. I mean, I feel like I did when I was 40 lbs heavier. I ate fast food often and did nothing besides spend too much time on my rear. I have been reading the success boards every day this week and nothing seems to get me motivated. I made some returns today. Had a piece of cheese and some almonds before leaving. Took an apple and some yogurt with me, and felt good that I had intentions of NOT stopping at a drive thru. Ate apple on the way. Went well with all of my stops, had my nails done. Then, it happened. Burger King. I ate in my car on the way home. 4 bites of my sandwich and I wanted to heave. That was after eating fries & onion rings. All washed down by a Coke. Started to put Christmas decor away when I got home. Had heavy feeling in chest, upset tummy. Heart burn. Confession. I have been doing this a lot lately. I think I am nearing 200. So mad at myself. I don't like what I see in the mirror. I really don't like how I *feel*. I know this is all psychological. Can I exchange my mind with..a transplant? Very bummed, yet, oddly, I want to get to where I have been. I want to go there. I really need to take myself to that place. I guess I am just a little lost right now, wandering around. Need to find my way back. Desperate. Hopefully sooner than later.
What do you think about moving US to a group? Our topic is from March. We can just be the smokin hot green pepper's and go from there. 500 posts and we'll be a Part 2 like it is now. comments? ideas?
have a good one...gonna move my pudgy self to the kitchen and clean up supper. love ya ladies. 0 -
I'm cool w/a group.
Kelly, I will say I have been emotionally eating as well. Cookies, candy, crap like that.
Let me tell you it was very hard being at Mike's Mom house -- there is an overload of cookies, donuts, cakes, candy, pretzels, chips, etc etc etc. And it doesn't help that Mike has a huge sweet tooth.
The depression bug must be hitting me hard. On Tuesday, I could barely keep my eyes open at work. Yesterday. I called out of work -- slept most of the day either on the futon (w/o my cpap) or in bed (w/the cpap). Mike told me at times he couldn't wake me - or he spoke to me, I opened my eyes, mumbled a few words & went back to sleep. Today I am yawning frequently.
I too have been increased in weight. I up to mid 180s now. Haven't been to kickboxing - not in the funds. Sometimes I wonder how the hell am I going to pay my bills. Some of the finanical debt Dave put me into.... he was paying for some things and now he certainly isn't. Can't cancel the phone w/o paying a large cancellation fee.... trying to chop down the credit card debt.
All I want to do is sleep.... sleep... sleep....0 -

The Group sounds ok to me not sure how to find group if luall can get me a hint lol
So I went over cal by 1 point last night big improvement from yesterday. Hope to do good today but I got very little sleep last night the kids decided to fight over the TV. I just finish makin dinner and they start fighting. end up in the ER with Kelly cause Jack unintetionaly during the fight smash Kelly foot in door. Well we waited and hour to see if the pain went aaway but of course all it did was get bigger and uglier. So Er trip at 9:30 and home at 2:30. Foot fracture and on crutches, AGH!!!! Cause I just started this new job I can't miss any work for 6 month. So this is where I get into trouble with eating. When I am tired I tend to overeat.
Now some sisterly advice. Basically I am just goin to repeat what both of you have said to me. Tomorrow another day, Take a new baby step each day. Don't beat yourself up if you have a bad day. Now from Me... Put it in Gods hands. When I was out of work from surgery the last 2 months I got really depressed and not eating right , not moving, no money to pay bills, I couldn't do Christmas with the kids and the kids were acting out. I started praying about every little thing. When I had a bad day eating I prayed, the next day I did better. When I couldn't move I prayed, then I started moving slowly, prayed -money came in the mail, prayed -kids got a little better.
So yesterday I did number 3 on my 100 things to write a List of 100 about, " 100 ways I sabotage myself" OMG what an eye opener! No wonder I am overweight and have bout of depression! I beat up myself so much and stop my success before I even start due to fear of failure. So after I was done I read an article on sabotaging yourself and one of the advice it gave was people don't set Goals anymore. So i made my goals for 2012 .... Here goes...
1.Lose 50 pounds
2. Buy a car
3. Complete 6 courses for RN
4. Build up Avon clinets
5. Finish my Bible reading plan for the year.
So today list is "100 things I'm good at"
try it , it really open ur eyes0 -
happy thursday evening.
re the *group* idea. at the top of this page is the Community tab. from that you can choose Message Boards which is where we currently are. next tab is the Groups. that is where we will move to. I will go ahead and create our group and post the link at the bottom of this message.
I am going to begin weighing again....tomorrow. as much as I dread it, like Jacque mentioned, I need to have a starting point for goals. I have been thinking a lot lately of a Bucket List. Most of it is fun things and traveling. I suppose taking care of myself is necessary if I intend to put check marks by them. Not a good day eating, but was productive otherwise.
Tanner and I painted his room today. Way over due. Last time it was painted was when we moved in, 1996...he was 4. We have plaster walls in 1/2 of the house, and the holes in the walls were not properly filled and repaired at that time. Now they are. I used spackle and then we used this Paint N Tex material. You just add it to your paint. It's like sand. Looks like brand new walls. Color is called Spiced Sugar...a light beige. He has sage curtain-panels, and his bedding is sage, grey, tan, beige. area rug is a shag in creme, sage, grey. The paint was mixed in '09. :ohwell: Ok, so it took me a couple years. I will be sore tomorrow from painting. That is bad.:frown:
will check in Friday. have a good one
