Yes, Princess, I struggle with it all, but especially the weights - I'll have to check out the Women's Health magazine. Congratulations on getting back to your running.

Not sure how I will spend today. I need to clean, but I've been in such a funk, lately, if the rain slackens a little, I may go to Books A Million to read awhile. I used to do that every Saturday a.m. when Danny was little while he did his Pokemon card trading, lol! We may get ice later this weekend or Monday, so I want to get out and about if I'm able. I woke up around 2 a.m. so I may take a nap, later, too! Went ahead and got in an early workout this a.m. with a Prevention Cardio Walk. It's a little tougher than those WATP videos. I'm slowly trying to get back into better shape. Tomorrow is my official weigh-in date, but you know me and scales, I always have to peek and it shows I've lost another couple, so the scales better show the same thing tomorrow a.m., lol! Well, it's time for some coffee and breakfast. I also need to make myself pick up those weights for an UB/LB workout and also do some abs exercises.

Have a nice Saturday, everyone. Deb, I hope you and Katie feel better soon.

Good Morning,

We had some early morning rain, looked like the sun was coming out but now it's gray and gloomy looking out there.

Recovering from my self induced carb and sugar coma that I went into yesterday. I know exactly how I'm going to feel after I do this and I go right ahead and do it anyway. On the brighter side knowing how I felt yesterday pushes me back to looking forward to eating better, drinking more water and feeling better mentally and physically. Definitely think it affected my sleep last night. Just couldn't get to sleep. Tossed and turned until about 3AM and then finally went to sleep. I got up a little after 7 and did my treadmill time and some stretching. So don't want to feel like I did yesterday-it's not worth it!

Major cleaning needs to be done here. The Christmas tree was removed by DH last night but not before some incredibly stupid remarks and comments that made me realize that my shovel needs to be close at hand. I hope to really deep clean the living room, dining room and my TV room. And hopefully DH will do his part and move things around down here so everything can be put away until next year.

I'm thinking some soup for dinner tonight and maybe some bread in the bread machine...thinking about it!

J-Deb-glad to hear that you got to your destination safely-hope your friends did as well.

CL-Deb-hope you and Katie are feeling better and hope your MIL will soon be feeling better. I'm hearing about a lot of people with pneumonia lately.

Rhonda-glad to hear that you were able to get your Dad out and about. That's good to hear that he's putting on some pounds. Hope your ear and head are feeling better.

Patty-good luck with the new flock!

Karen-I'm waiting for my new issue of GH! Sounds interesting-maybe we should compare notes!

Sassy-hope you find some answers about your digestive issues.

Time to get the day moving. Hope everyone has a splendid Saturday!

Hi everyone,

When I first found out about this site and logged on it seems I went right to this message board and enjoyed all the posts. I really wanted to join right in and quickly got side tracked with lots of overtime at work. I must admit I also put watching what I eat and exercising on the back burner. Ok, I guess I'm using the overtime as an excuse. I really need to stop with the excuses. I really want to get on track. I promise myself a long walk on the treadmill this afternoon. It will be the first time since long before Christmas. I think my biggest problem is the night time eating. Once all is said and done and DH is off to bed (goes to bed quite early), that's when I seem to comfort myself with junk food.

My dear dad died 10 years ago. About a month before he died, he looked at me with tears in his eyes and begged me to stop smoking. I promised him I would. I quit about a month before he died and have never picked up a cigarete again. His asking me to do this was so powerful to me and my promise to him I could never break. I often joke that if only he had asked me to lose weight I would be sooooo skinny by now!!! Now, I know if I could quit smoking after all those years, then I could give up the junk that I know is causing all this fat.

So I am going to strive to at least start by getting in the exercise and limiting the comfort junk. I know I can't stop that cold turkey like I did the cigaretes. I depend on it like a drug to get me through. Isn't that sad?

Hope you all will bear with me. You all sound like you have it all together so I'm not quite sure I'm in your league.

Hope you all have a great day!

Barb

Good afternoon again......the last two days I have slept in and not made it here before noon. MIL said she is not feeling worse but Bill went and saw her this morning and he said she looked horrible. My FIL is going to go do all their errands while she rests. Her doctor told her she is better off home then the hospital right now, more rest, better care. She had my FIL to PT's on her last night and this morning trying to break up the crap in her chest/lungs. She said it hurst. I might stop and see her later if I go out. That is a big if here. I had some bills to pay online and I had to help Bill fill out some papers for an over-draft for the business checking acount. We had a customer bounce a check not once but twice in the amount of $1,800, do you know how that hurts a small business? Thank goodness the bank paid out our checks but it left us in the hole for another $400.oo in fees. We have rain today and my game plan it to go back upstairs and do my two tapes again. My legs are sore from yesterdays and that feels good. My eatting is on target and tonight we are going to have Chinese food. So I will plan for that accordingly. I already told Bill most likely I will not go out today since I want to really clean up that den and put this Christmas stuff to bed. I belive Bill and I will take the outside stuff down tomorrow and we are talking about going to a home show later Sunday afternoon. That is about if from here, rain, tea and Christmas undecorating. Katie has Megan over and they are keeping each other busy. Meg is going to be here until after 4:00 so that will make Katie happy. My sister stayed home from work on Thursday with a headache so something must be going around. I had another this morning but it seems to have worked itself out. Stay warm, keep busy, have fun and eat well ladies!
