You guys are all fabulous, you know that? :D Just a drive by tonight, I'm just soooo tired. Lots of stuff going on at work this week - we have consultants in trying to help us get our butts out of the wringer. What's odd/sad, is that I got more positive feedback/compliments in about an hour with one of the consultants than…

Hi all... just a drive by today. Thursday truth: I get to write a plan of correction for my boss tonight, to explain to her why I should still have a job. :noway: Needless to say, the past couple of days have not gone well, either at work or on the calories. And believe me, I feel awful ... stomach feels bloated, etc.…

For those of you in the midst of all that cold weather, I send you warm hugs! @ Alison - so good to see you back! Glad to hear that your daughter is better, that must have been an awful ordeal for you all. @ Robin - that busted tooth may be a blessing in disguise, if it's keeping your mind off other things :) @ Nicole &…

Hi & welcome! I'm a stress eater myself - that's the hardest. Log EVERYTHING right when you're doing it - easiest with the mobile app, but if that isn't an option, pencil & paper works - and be faithful to logging the food. Weigh/measure everything! wow... Living on a farm sounds great... I'm jealous!

There is a way to do sort of a 'reset'... you need to be sync'd (I have an ultra, so for me, that means on the charger base), and there are how-to steps on the fitbit website (I haven't had to do mine in forever, so I'd have to look it up). Hope that help!

Hello & happy Monday everyone! trying to be better about checking in to the list (will get better with personals soon). Today wasn't too bad -- the new QRM director is a hoot - should be an interesting ride coming up. Lots of things going on, so I will keep up when I can....

Hello my darlings Sunday share for the new folks: I'm Vicki, 50-something mom of 2 adults (one who's living at home with new husband), with my husband & disabled friend/roommate - that makes 5 adults (4 cats & a dog) with essentially one income ...:noway: :noway: :noway: stress definitely happens around here. Right now I'm…

Hi all - yep, I'm still around... thinking of updating my ticker, because I'm playing with this same 3-4 lbs... making me crazy. Five of us in the house, and finances are squeezed... it's a bit harder to eat the way I should. Big hugs to everyone!

Hi new folks! and WELCOME HOME MOW!!!! (missed you!) :flowerforyou: So, January goal ---- GET OFF THIS BLEEPING PLATEAU! :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: Hugs to everyone

Good mojos heading your way my friend! Ok, and I'm going to let you in on a secret... at least in Arizona (and lots of other places too) they have figured out that a large percentage of persistent sinus infections are FUNGAL... which means that antibiotics won't do squat. Plus the simple fact that oral antibiotics have a…

Quick check in... Happy Holidays to everyone! Wedding was fabulous, but there is other family drama going on that isn't so fabulous. Didn't do too badly food wise today, so that's a pleasant surprise. Thinking of changing gyms when my contract is up in a few weeks -- the YouFit we've been going to is just going a bit seedy…

Thursday truth - husband is baking/decorating two different cakes in the kitchen right now.... :frown: Making it very difficult for me. BIG CONFESSION - I am a candy cane/peppermint junkie :blushing: so this time of year is pretty hard for me. But I've learned to limit myself to one Ghirardelli square on occasion, or one…

Hi everyone... I've been missing you all a ton... life has just been overwhelmingly horrible, and I've been selfishly focusing on aking it through another day. Quick catchup: I am stuck on a plateau again (bleh), daughter moved home (yay) and is getting married this weekend to a very nice guy (double yay), but she's been…

Susan - thank you for those quotes - Wow! And I'm missing Kris as well... hope all is good with her. Wednesday wish - a new boss (or a new job, that would work except that I love my job). Unfortunately, my boss walked in with an extreme dislike of me from day one, and I have yet to figure out why. She is very volatile, and…

just in case Robin doesn't get here in time.... :heart: :heart: :heart: FOR NEWBIES ....................................PLEASE NOTE................................................................ - soon, we will soon come to the end of this current thread - at the end of every 20 pages, - we start a new Thread - you will…

hello all... love all the positive accomplishments - even those of you who are going slower inspire me (and Skinnyjeans, I've been periodically 'stuck' on & off for months - I feel your frustration!) Probably overdid it on housework today, so still feeling ick... and struggling with munchies... My new challenge is dealing…

Quick check in, folks... the thread is going by so quickly... Think I'm coming down with the crud as well, even though I was good and got my flu shot :sick: Sooo... I fell off the wagon a bit yesterday, trying to get back on track, but all I want to do is eat. Going back to bed now...

Thursday truth - like I said, I'm stuck on a plateau .. mostly of my own making I think. Working really hard to stay away from old habits. A coworker confided in me this week that she has an eating disorder. I told her that I already knew, and she was startled. I told her that I figured that people who had issues with food…

Welcome newlings... @Robin - holy toledo! I'm suprised they charged you that much for your vaccination... wow! Hope you are feeling better.. @Kah - hope you're not too sore today! @skinnyjeanz - good job on keeping the numbers down when out on the town... that's really difficult to accomplish! @Kooky - I'm a fitbit…

Hello everyone ... I'm back again (like a bad penny?). Sorry to have been MIA for a while, I've been dealing with a lot at work, and we had a crisis with the daughterling - she's just returned home today (bad relationship, then blew the engine in her car driving home from NE and we had to scrape together funds to get her…

**hugs** Hope your fur baby is better soon...

bump...

Hello all... just back from the annual show/event/camping trip. Need to catch up my logs, and catch up on your posts :) More as soon as possible.

Tuesday goals - have to second on the "survive the week" goal (and getting into gear)... my annual vacation is next week, and I'm so looking forward I can't describe. We lost a patient last night... things at work are tense at best. Hugs to everyone!

I hear you! I have been living with GAD and PTSD for a long time (*not* why I started working at a psych hospital, by the way). Some days, it is still difficult to get out of bed in the morning. So proud of how you're doing :smile: I have to say that reading everyone's updates are always very inspiring ... helps a lot,…

Hi all sorry for the MIA-ness that is me of late. I've been trying to peek in regularly, and have been trying to stay on track... very difficult of late, as I am definitely a stress eater. Sunday share: I'm Vicki, married nurse, two grown kids, and live in Phoenix. I work for the State hospital, so my comments usually…

@kah - sounds like a cool experience at the gym @jt - congratulations! That's wonderful! :flowerforyou: @Robin - vaccuming... eew... :ohwell: @Kris - enjoy your visit with your mom! @Helena - I love chain maile jewelry - awesome! Hope your mom is better soon .:heart: @Marca - sorry to hear about your son's friend @Kaye -…

ding ding ding! Migraine trigger... been there, done that. stomach & headache pain, feeling miserable... no gym today....

thanks to everyone for the good wishes/thoughts - here's to the Norns hearing your words! (I wouldn't be upset to win the lottery this weekend, and be able to walk away laughing). Going to dust off the resume' & put myself back on the 'market', methinks. Friday Fitness - today was such a CHARMING day at work, that I was at…

@Robin - thanks... I don't have words to say how much... Thursday Truth: my current work situation sounds eerily like what Robin was describing... I am trying very hard to find some peace in it. The problem is, I like my job... and I'm bloody good at it... unfortunately, my very new boss has spent most of her time tearing…
