GOOD TUESDAY MORNING, BUDDIES!
27
Tue, 02-03-2009 - 9:15am

Okay, this is just wrong.  We were supposed to get 2 to 4 inches of snow today, and now they've downgraded it to an inch of slush.  Really?  Sigh.


So, anyway, happy Loseday!!  Even without snow, Loseday is worth celebrating, right?  So, what do you want to lose today, Buddies?  I'm going to lose stress - as much as possible.  I'm going to target the things that are hanging over my head and stressing me out, and eliminate as many as possible.  (Phone calls I need to make, emails I need to return, bills I need to pay, lessons I need to plan....)  I'm juggling too much, and the stress is making me want to eat.  I've got a mental picture that I'm kind of enjoying of me in a space cruiser (like in Star Wars) blasting away at the stress ships that come my way.  :o)


Have a lovely Loseday, Buddies! 


((((HUGS)))) - Karen

Yeah it did. I am still real shaken and it happened at around 7:30 this morning. I really dont want to get back out in the snow but I dont have a choice. Thanks so much for the hug, I needed it. I just still cant believe that I did it. I have never flipped a car over in my life. I tensed up so much that my arthritis is acting up and killing my legs. I hope they are better by tomorrow. Thanks again Karen!

Oh, Karen - no snow! I'm sorry. If it makes you feel any better to see the other side, though, go here: http://www.goldensnowball.com/ I've got more than I know what to do with! But we did just have two days above freezing (Sun & Mon) so now we only have about a foot or so on the ground - yay! I refuse to look at our 10 day forecast though - haha!

Today I went to work and class and I was supposed to go straight to the gym. But my 6yo niece had a little fall yesterday (she fell from the top of her jungle gym thingy) and landed on her face and broke her adult tooth. Ouch! So after a trip to the emergency room last night - this happened right before supper - she was home and safe pretty late. She's doing better now (I think she saw the dentist to get the tooth bonded) but I felt compelled to get her a little gift. Then I figured I might as well send the Valentine's stuff for the kiddos, too. So I went to shop first and afterward I was so hungry I couldn't force myself to the gym. I'm home now waiting for my food to digest a bit and then I'll hop on the elliptical for a bit tonight! I will exercise!

My calories have been good, though, so that's something, right?!? Hope everyone else is doing wonderfully with calories and staying on plan today!

Ok, I replied to you on myspace asking what happened! That is so scary - I'm so glad to hear you are okay!! I hate slippery roads! But you're right, you gotta just keep going to school and get it over with! And you are so close to being done, it's crazy! How excited are you?!?

Way to pick yourself up from an off-plan lunch and move into a perfectly healthy dinner! That sorta resiliency is very admirable!

First off thanks for everything that you said. I am trying my best to get passed this and not let it get me down. I only have 33 total school days left and I need to get them in. I will be pulling 40 hour weeks for the 6 weeks (including this week) and than my last week there I will only have 34 hours that week. I dont really know if I'm excited or not. I am definitely scared. I dont know if this is something that I am ready to be done with. I feel like I have so much more to learn. I will hopefully start working around the first of April.

I have decided that I am not going to let my friends or my stress depict they way I eat. It nothing for me and I only feel worse for what I did. I want to be healthy and eating 3 pieces of pizza isnt the way to get there. So I am determined now that tomorrow is going to be better. I dont care if I total my car, I am not going to let friends or stress ruin my health!

Thanks Cass. I am going to try really hard to stay positive but its not easy. I drive such a little car and it scares me now to think what could happen if I got in a bad enough accident. I dont think I could put it into words how I feel, shaken is the best way I can describe it. If I never had to drive again, right now I would not have a problem with that. Thanks again for the concern.

Tammy, I gotta tell you, the changes I've seen in you over the past year or two have been tremendous! You have really proven to us (and hopefully yourself, too) how strong you are! I'm so proud of you!

33 total school days left - AHHH! I can't wait until I only have that many left!! I should create my own countdown ;) The 40 hour weeks will be tough, but you can do it! And come out thinner at the end, too!!! Ooh, wouldn't that be nice?!?

And it's great to not let friends and stress ruin your diet. And it's hard to be good 100% of the time - but rebounding is what's important - and you're doing that!

Here's to making tomorrow another great day! Stay outta those ditches, ok? ;)

I know that I have changed a lot over the past year but I still have that scared young woman inside of me and she likes to pop up every now and than. Sometimes I wonder if I have just faked it all and I am still that same scared young woman. That is something I'm not sure of. Now yeah, when I am sitting in school and I am doing really well on something and I know what I'm doing than I think that I have changed, but when I dont have a clue I begin to question myself and whether or not I have changed. Only time will tell I guess.

How much longer do you have in school? I hadnt really realized how many days I had left until I counted them last week when I was off. Now had school not been canceled last week I would have less time but it was so I have to just make the best of it. I know that the 40 hour weeks are going to be hard but I am going to make the best of it. I have a lot of work to do in order to get all my progresses done but I know that my graduation will be here before I know it. I was told not to long ago that student council has ordered my graduation things and they have arrived. I guess thats when it became real to me that I was actually almost done. And yes, I am bound and determined to be at least a little thinner at my graduation.

I know I cant be 100% good but I can try and I can just keep in mind all the wonderful buddies I have that are supporting me on my journey.

I am going to do my best to make tomorrow a wonderful day. I will do my best to stay out of ditches as well. Take care of yourself and have a wonderful night. Thanks so much for being such a wonderful friend!
