  • Wednesday wish(es): winning the lottery so I can get out of the job-from-hell :sad: because I'm completely certain that the stress is causing my plateau... blah.
  • hi all, just a quick check in (feeling pretty puny today). All of your successes are so inspiring! Anyone have any great suggestions for GI problems? I'm running out of ideas, and really tired of feeling like this. On another note, I splurged and ordered off an infomercial (!!!), so I've got that "Rockin' Body" DVD set…
  • just a drive by, cuz I'm exhausted tonight... and ashamed of my self... I got mugged by a Haagen-Dazs ice cream, and didn't get to the gym. Did get some Zumba in, but all in all.... fail for the day...
  • Welcome newlings! Tuesday goals - to make it through the rest of the week with out (a) having a stroke from the stress (b) having a total meltdown from the stress (c) committing homicide against my boss :explode: :mad: :explode: On the other hand, did everyone see this?:…
  • That is just awesome... oh, was gifted a nice shiny Magic Bullet this weekend... whee! Tried it tonight, and it made a pretty cool protein shake... noms...
  • Sunday share - (I'd post personals, but the rollover always messes me up on those :grumble: ) Spent most of today in a class with the DH, so didn't do as much exercising as I would like... plus restaurant for lunch messed up the numbers - bah! :grumble: Thanks for everyone's good wishes on the milestone - I really feel…
  • just a drive-by today, darlings! sooo many great updates to read through, and I'm sending BIG HUGS to everyone! @Tom - you're correct about the oxygen deprivation having long term effects - bravo to you for being so dedicated to your CPAP machine & health! @Kris - *hugs* Leaving one job can be hard, particularly smaller…
  • Queen -- let me just say, you are not alone my friend. Been there, survived that. Takes mad strength to stand up & walk away - I applaud you! Stick to your guns, don't back down, and you will get through this (and you will be successful with your weightloss!)
  • Wednesday wish.... PATIENCE...:grumble:
  • EEK! I'm struggling to keep up with everyone! Going to try and do some mad catching up here :smile: First of all, welcome to the newlings, and the not-so-newlings returning! @Robin - size medium is a win! I can do mediums now too (some of the time). problem I'm having, is that one mfr's medium is another's large @Tom -…
  • BUMP/WATERTAG :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
  • Monday check in - completely blew it today. I was mugged by Ben & Jerry... something about chocolate.... on the positive side (????), my guess is that i'm a little lactose intolerant... already paying the price (so to speak)... so maybe it won't stay around long enough to dump all the calories???
  • Happy Sunday, everyone! @Allie - great job! I love Brats, so I understand the temptation :smile: but when I do them at home or with friends, I can get away with a half a 'light' flatbread instead of those evil buns! @Anna - sounds like a great vacation spot (my parents' families are from that area, so I can visualize it…
  • @Cath - oh my gosh, you're so good at personals! @Shrinkwrapd - you're right about the boss & federal regs... she's teetering really close, but hasn't crossed the line yet. *hugs* to everyone! Spent 3 days this week at a statewide Infectious Disease Conference... the place served amazing food (run by Sodexo), so we were…
  • happy monday, y'all! Robin -- BIG HUGS -- I've been there on both fronts, they both suck a lot. According to my calculations, the royal rugrat was born just about at the apex of the full moon... oi vey...gotta be some meaning to that, right? Back to the oncologist for a checkup today... they still seem pleased, just…
  • Welcome back Naceto! Kinda been on&off MIA myself. Congrats at taking better care of yourself :flowerforyou: aaannnd... cuz I haven't done this in a while.... :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: WATER TAG! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
  • Congrats, Kaye! found some Venezia boot cut 14 petite... they fit pretty well (can't beat 7.99 at Goodwill)... if you have a Target nearby, my favorite jeans were Mossimo boot cut... but I haven't been able to score another pair since my sz20s...
  • Friday fitness - does walking around in 5" heels all day count? OUCH! Honestly, my feet and calves are sore, and I did a lot of walking today - but my tracker doesn't account for as much as it feels. Today was a mostly better day - had a long talk with employee relations about the situation with the boss. I feel worse for…
  • Thanks - As a nurse, I'm not against a little medication - I actually do have a history of anxiety disorder, but it's been ok for several years. I actually have a script for Valium (for a back injury), and I think one is definitely warranted tonight. Of course, I probably shouldn't have paired it with the wine cooler…
  • Kris - I love the colors in your rug! it is b-e-a-utiful! :love: Thursday truth - **TMI ALERT** feel free to scroll past... I am entirely stressed out from my job. :sad: It is getting so bad, that I'm starting to doubt my own abilities, and I feel like I'm spiraling down a bad slope. I know this is not good... and the more…
  • @Alliern - Welcome! Folks here aren't extra hardcore about the 100# mark :flowerforyou: .. and Kinda nice to see another RN on here! @Robyn - forgot to mention that I love the new pic! :love: Saturday Success - looking on the positive here (believe me, it's a little difficult right now).. I'm staying close to my (tiny)…
  • Happy Friday, darlings! Just a drive-by to say that I love ya all... and I hate plateaus! Have a great weekend!
  • Thursday truth - or truths :laugh: Love my job, not so sure about my boss, and I'm eating my stress because of it.:huh: I soo hate it when I let people get to me that way! On the plus side, I got a ton done today at work, so it all works out in the end... @mowmow - have you tried exorcising the saute' pan? maybe it's…
  • wow... SO many newlings! Welcome!! Wednesday wish - less stress at work, believe me! We've got a brand new Chief Nursing Officer (who apparently doesn't like me much) and a new Chief Medical Officer -- yes, they flushed the Admin fishbowl! Hoping things settle down soon :ohwell: I've been suffering with a ton of nausea…
  • Hi all! hoping everyone has a safe & happy holiday (and for our non-US friends... safe & happy non-holiday!). We're having a rather awful week down here -- hotter than hell, and two major wildfires, one of which took 19 lives (you probably saw on the national news). I didn't lose any close friends with that hotshot crew,…
  • Amazon can certainly be a godsend :wink: Not sure what part of Omaha you're in (and I haven't lived there in a looooonng time) - but check down by the base if you can. Stores near the base usually had a pretty good variety of things, as well as pretty decent prices (trying to compete with the commissary & exchange). Lots…
  • I am completely addicted to salads. I'm pretty much happy with just salads for dinner lately - they are monsters (but really low calorie): Hearts of romaine (4 cups) Tyson buffalo chicken tender, chopped Loeb's onion crunch sundried tomato shreds Walden farms dressing (usually creamy bacon) fresh avocado (sometimes, for…
  • You are *not* a leper my friend! You are suffering from something that's very common - nurses call it "prednisone skin".. you're right, it is from the steroids. Once you get a tear, they definitely are PAINFUL - but if you can get yourself two things (1) non adherent gauze pads and (2) "cohesive" dressing - aka Coban or…
  • :flowerforyou: Hi guys.. Still been logging, although I haven't been as dutiful on the list... stress level has been through the roof. Trying to catch up with posts, and very excited to see everyone's successes. Much love to everyone...
  • @ Lauriek70 - glad the storm wasn't as bad as it could have been @ Robin - you're not old, your brain just needs additional storage space! @ MyMowMow - Love the owls! @ Marca - your protein shake sounds yummy @ everyone - sorry I've been MIA - didn't want to polute your universe with my sour attitude of late. So, I've…
