With DH in the hospital donating bone marrow, my MIL being in town and my BIL stopping in while he is on his way back to Iraq things have been quite crazy!!! The unending stream of crappy food being brought into my house by MIL and BIL has been tempting, but even under all of this stress I have kept true. Hard as it has been with everyone telling me "oh go off for today you can always go back to it tomorrow!!!" I have not given in. I ended up at the doctors on friday since I was having knee pain (I have always had knee problems) and they found a lot of fluid under both of my knee caps. That being said I am completely off of working out for a couple weeks...as most of you know I am a workout nut so this will be very difficult. They want to do surgery soon, but I am resisting that due to how many people I know thats knee's have just been worse after surgery. So even though I have stayed tried and true I have went from 180 where I was stalled at and went up to almost 183!!!! Though I should be starting my TOM soon so I think this might be the reason. Dh has been in quite a bit of pain and I am trying to keep up with going to the hospital (at Geortown University) which with DC traffic is enough to send me through the roof and keeping up with MIL, BIL and my kids has proved to be enough to send me to the edge. Then I woke up this morning and I have laringitis and am supposed to give a presentation at a meeting at work....AHHHHHH! I will survive, I will survive. Please keep my family in your thoughts!!!

Hi Stacy, It sounds like a crazy and stressful time, from many angles.

Hang in there Stacy! You are doing an amazing job resisting all that temptation while under such stress.


(((((Healing Vibes))))) to both you and dh.


Don't worry about the scale. You are right, it's probably Tom.
