My life has been hectic.
On May 20, I start a pt job. I will work b/w 10-19 hrs a week. The half of the weekly pacychecks will go to paying of my debt. I use the snowball effect, with the high interest going first. The other half will go to Car Savings, Teeth Savings & Roth IRA. I have my snowball list:
- Dell
- Chiropractic
- Family Dr
- OB/GYM Dr
- Dad
I'm thinking about dropping my gym membership & joining WW. I have fitness dvds at home and w/ my new apartment (moving May 23 there isn't a close gym. I'm think about WW as part of my new healthy lifestyle. (Let Me See 30 Lifestyle), aling w/ the gym. The location of my new apartment isn't conducive to going to the gym. I'm going to see how it works out. I have to give the gym 30 day notice, so if by June 1 I don't think it will work I'll give them written notice.
I have lost my meds (bc & anti-depression), so my emotional are all over the place. Right now, I just feel like I want to cry, but I can't. I have this friend that I can normally talk to for hours about nothing and today when she called. I didn't want to talk to her. If I could crawl into bed and sleep for the next month, I wouldn't complain.
Work has been really great about everything. I have had to take a lot of time off interviewing for this pt job, while I looked for apts and all my dr appts.
I saw a nutrionist on May 5; when I left there I felt so bad about myself that I ate two slices of cheesecake and creid the rest of the day. I also creid of & on Tues and Wed. I'm not going back to see her. This is were WW comes in. I was looking for different nutrionist and I couldn't find someone that I want to give an hour to. I going to WW meeting Thurs after work.
Well, this about been my crazy, hectic life.

Hi Jenny.
Thanks Carolyn for the kind words.
I found my meds, when I was shredding papers. Now, it takes about a week to start feeling the effects and it will take a month or more to feel the full effects. The meds will help w/ the negative running dialog in my head.

Hi,
There might be a weight watchers or diet board you could join or lurk around on ivillage for free.
There's also a program I've heard of called T.O.P.S. which stands for Take Off Pounds Sensibly...and the membership cost is $2 a week, which is a lot less money than when I went to Weight Watchers. This program usually runs out of a community health centre; in my community there is a little notice for it each week in the same section of the newspaper as the Alcoholics Anonymous and such announcements for meetings.
I checked out when the TOPS meetings were in my city. Every meeting is scheduled when I am at one job or the other. I need a meeting time b/w 5:30-7 on Thursday nights. Right now, I still think I'm going to go to WW. I need to real life group, right now. I love my cyber group, but I need something more tangable.
Thanks for the input, rebeccalouise.

Why don't you see what would be involved in starting a new TOPS group? Maybe if they get interest, they would do it.
