the bad news: I had to put my pebbles back into the other jar. the good news: I didn't have to search out MORE pebbles! ;) Happy start of our 3rd week! (and hang in there, Patti) Myra

Yikes, Patti. Prayers from NC too. also prayers for Glenn and Janet, and hoping for sleep for Suzi. thank you to MaryLynn for her kind words and support for child-rearing! i think for week 3 my motto is: try, try again. :smile:
-
congratulations on all the successes, ladies! you are an inspiration :) good luck, Janet, with the new surgeon. Karla, i was just tickled to read your advice for asking for the cancelation department. I'm going to give that a go for satellite radio ;) For TV, we switched from cable to direct TV within the last year, so we…

I am holding on to a renewed glimmer of hope that i am making progress in physical therapy, and will once again be able to exercise.
-
congrats @skyeashlee! I'm grateful to have, at first, misread that last post and had the amusing image of a "smashed PB&J whilst running" in my head for a second. HA!
-
congrats on the loss, Karla! my scale showed no loss of weight, but a 1/10th loss of percent fat.... so I'll take it. (it's better than a poke in the eye!) one pebble down, 39 to go! I'm officially stealing Patti's mantra: you have this, you know what to do, now do it! YES! I just ate a mini-lunch of brussel sprouts,…

HAHA! yes, adulting is terribly annoying! thanks for the laugh, Janet! :smiley: I'm still trying to come up with a mantra for the coming week..... Karla, you made me smile thinking about my sister and yoga.... i think this week we'll do a salad lunch instead ;) I'm still working on my "core" at physical therapy…

waving hello from a busy week here. all kid related ;) my project me is off to a rough start, but i shall preserver! I plan to recuperate this weekend from all the go-go-go, and stop the stress-induced eating! myra
-
"project me" great idea! I have 40 pebbles in my jar. each pebble represents 1/10 of a % body fat. I'm not putting a time "limit" on it..... but by Christmas would be swell! I came across a thought yesterday (happens occasionally). what if my diet is influencing the pain in my hip (not just erroneous movement patterns)? So…
-
Janet- my eating has been awful too. Once again, I've learned I am not capable of eating one piece of cake and then immediately "go forward". I swear I'm like an alcoholic when it comes to refined carbs. However, today is a new day, and I'm going to adopt your 'resume' attitude! today i shall resume. I survived having…
-
Yes, MaryLynn, this group is a compelling reason to keep coming back :) Waiving hello to all. I've been reading, but not having the time to respond the way I want to, so have been avoiding it. sigh. I"m smiling :) and I"m feeling better now that i'm eating better. I've decided that my "jars" will count fat percentage…

@SaraKim17 I can SO relate. I was just complaining this morning about my black&white thinking! it's a bugger. my focus this week is to eat more whole foods and less processed ones. when i do this, i feel my best (physically and mentally) I do anticipate eating birthday cake on friday (my daughter will be 12) and my goal is…
-
We are here for you, Shel I humbly suggest you make your first "mini goal" small and easy to achieve. that's what helps me, anyway. Myra

today i am grateful we don't have to get up early tomorrow

today, i'm grateful my two younger children both attend the same school. whew.
-
Hello OMG ladies! Since my last post, I became obsessed with used car research. for days. then, Saturday, I went to see ANOTHER car that had been "commercial". it was at carmax, and I expected to go see yet another beat up mess and go home dejected. SURPRISE, it was a very nice looking and nice driving Toyota Yaris (2008)…
-
i'm grateful for two NSV's this past week: 1) ordered pizza for my kids and didn't eat any (that's only happened once before in my entire life) 2) everyone else in this house (3 people) ate "drumstick" ice cream last night. i felt left out, even though they are so sugary as to not be tempting, so I went outside and watered…
-
Hello all, I think I'm back. I'm struggling with apathy, but I really don't know if it's a med side-effect or a depression symptom. at any rate, i'm tricking myself into caring, if that makes any sense whatsoever. my goal for this coming week is to log everything i eat into MFP. thanks for helping me with accountability :)…
-
today I'm grateful we found a better used car for my adult daughter (knock on wood) She was about to move to a mountainous area with a car with 227K miles on the engine (and it was making rod-knocking noises). can i also be grateful I am DONE test driving used cars? omg, I've learned a lot in the last few days. way more…
-
great news about Myron :) thanks for the kind words about losing Hope. yes, school already :) our little ones attend a charter school, so they can set their own schedule. we have 6-7 weeks off during the summer, and i find that is PLENTY! this year, they are both in the same school, whew. 5th grade and 7th grade. so far,…

waiving hello and goodnight to you all. I have read all the posts, but i'm too tired for personals. my oldest turned 23 yesterday, and we ate dinner out, just the two of us. I'm so very glad she tells me things about her life....... but sometimes the processing of the TMI takes me a while, haha. it was a rough weekend, as…
-
today, i am grateful my adult daughter shares details of her life with me......... eventually.
-
today, i am grateful we finally came up with an acceptable idea for a birthday present for my 12 year old's "love interest" LOL.
-
Hi ladies, I'm feeling your smiles, and thank you! I hit a bump in the road for a good cause on Wednesday, but I'm doing better now, and trying to stay mindful. Janet- it sounds like you got through your Dr. appointments with flying colors. I hope you can find the right combination of thyroid medications. they are as…
-
Today, I am grateful I will never have to go through puberty again.
-
Janet- good luck at the Dr. today. any chance these meanies know what a "trigger" is..... and you could close your eyes until they are done scribbling in the chart and ask them to kindly not mention it? just a thought. I met a "new to me" PA once.... and when she said... oh, they didn't weigh you? she must have read my…
-
thank you! i'm doing my best to keep looking FORWARD! Today, I am grateful for many supportive and understanding friends. IRL and online ones.
-
good morning OMG ladies. day 2 for me. i think the "like" buttons are new since my return... but i guess it would be overkill to like every single post :) Patti- thanks for the virtual hug :) hope you have a good visit with your mom, and you can both enjoy the wind blowing in your hair. Janet- I agree with you being as…
-
today, i am grateful an MFP friend private messaged me and pulled me back into this community.
-
good morning ladies, thanks for your kind words. i'm trying to believe I deserve them. that being kind to yourself thing is the hardest of all for me. the world events are overwhelming, even with the meds making me numb. but, at least i'm not crying 24/7, so there's that. another MFP friend messaged me a couple days ago,…
