Hi, Annie! I am Christina. I, too, am 40. I live in NB, but I am from NS. And I could have written what you just did word for word, almost! Here if you ever want to chat! :smiley:

Hi, all. This thread looks perfect for someone like me. Depression, anxiety, ADD, OCD, all mean that long-term goals don't work very well. Right now I am sick, have been for almost a week now; but I wanted to post so can find the thread tomorrow. Have a great night, everyone! :wink:

I just started doing this recently because I work overnights and found the daily goal just wasn't working for me. Keeping track of it weekly (on a spreadsheet) works so much better for me. But everyone is different. :)

Nobody is willing to play? Well, boo on you. :p

Born & raised in NS. Currently in MB. Moving to PEI in June. :)

To be sure! We hate it here and I can't wait to be on the East Coast again. I just wish it was easier to get everything done...lol. Nothing worth having comes easy though, I guess.

Wow...it's been a long time since anyone has used this board - 4 months! So today I am thankful... 1. For good friends here in Winnipeg whom I will miss greatly when I leave, but hope to stay in contact with when I am gone. 2. For the excitement and enthusiasm of my family members as we prepare to embark on our next great…

I love this thread! I will definitely be taking the time to check out the links on my days off. The plank is one of the hardest things for me to do, personally. Even though I am still doing it on my knees!

I TOTALLY agree about Adele. She looks horrible! Favorite for me though would have to go to Taylor Swift or Jennifer Lopez (if she had a different hairstyle, that is). Oh, and I am with you with JT!!! ;)

lol Ok...Least & most favorite?

Teaching My Daughter to Love Her Future Body http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kim-bongiorno/teaching-my-daughter-to-love-her-future-body_b_2490815.html Thoughts? Opinions?

Today I am thankful... - that I have a job to keep our heads above water now that Justin does not have one again. - that we have a friend with whom we are able to share babysitting to give each other a break now and then. - to have space available free of cost so that the North End Losers are able to meet each week. -…

I really struggled with this. I work Tuesday night to Saturday night, off Sunday & Monday night. I start my counting on Tuesday night for Wednesday's calories when I wake up to start my week and end my day when I go to bed on Wednesday. Saturday/Sunday/Monday are a little different. I go to work at 11:30pm Saturday night…

I'm just bumping this post so new members may see it. :)

Today I am thankful... - that Chloe feels better and will be able to return to school tomorrow. - for being able to spend today relaxing. - I got to speak to my grandfather on the phone. We don't talk very often and it was nice to touch base. - for the soreness in my butt, thighs, & abs due to the squats and crunches I've…

I buy Nescafe French Vanilla coffee and add 1 sugar twin. I love it!

I've been considering going vegetarian. I really don't eat a lot of meat, anyway. But...I LOVE LOVE LOVE my seafood, cheese, yogurt, and eggs. I'm not sure I could give those up.

I'm really loving this season so far! There seems to be more suspense and, "what's going to happen next?" tension for me. I'm glad Hershel's ok, but something tells me he's not quite out of the woods, yet. Is it wrong to hope that Lori dies in childbirth? lol As for the crazy guy...oh my goddess, did I ever jump when he…

I am curious, because I haven't been diagnosed, yet. What is the procedure for diagnosis? Also, what tipped you off to the fact that you might be ADD/ADHD?

*waves* I have not been officially diagnosed, yet. But it was brought to my attention that a diagnosis will be forthcoming while we were dealing with my son's issues - he was diagnosed about a month ago.

Not necessarily "North End" but on October 20th you can your fam and go the theatre to enjoy a free movie and a selection of snacks at $2 each. Follow the link for more information! http://www.cineplex.com/Promos/Starlight/Community.aspx?cmpid=SCENE_CmtyDayOct2012

I have a 16oz bottle. I drink one with each meal - that's 6 glasses right there. Then I drink a minimum of 2-4 glasses while working out, and at least one more bottle (2 glasses in between meals). If you keep the bottle on hand all day, it's actually a lot easier than one might think. Also, if you add lemon, lime,…

33 (34 in December) Two children, aged 8 and almost 7 I am lightly active. The normal stuff at home, then I partially bus/partially walk back and forth to work. My sex drive is almost nil. :(

Thanks for sharing, Krista. I'll be sure to sit down and read this thoroughly later.

Today I am thankful for: 1. Hot coffee on a cold, windy day. 2. Being able to spend the day with Justin while he works because we don't see each other enough now that we are both working. 3. My new job and the fact that I am enjoying it so much. 4. Justin finally being happy now that he has found a passion for something.…
