Britt, when I said relax it was NOT meant as an insult, and I'm so sorry if it sounded that way. You and I share a common bond, in both having suffered from an eating disorder. You know the traps we can fall into. You are doing a fabulous job! I just felt at that time you being awfully hard on yourself. I don't care what anyone says about your possibilities for a successful outcome, I know you and you will succeed. It's a given. I just really want you to revel in your successes and keep your eye on the goal without brow beating yourself. Maybe I read it wrong. But like I said, you are doing great!

It wasn't taken as an insult, I was just at a loss as to what I was needed to relax about. It's funny cuz in my journals I can come across as neurotic and almost anorexic ('cept if I kept a food diary for ya'll you'd see how much I eat *gasp* LOL) and my Mom was saying how I am the most relaxed, layed back person she knows even with 4 kids driving me up a wall....I am guessing its because I am only sharing one aspect of my day and life. It wouldn't make much sence for me to share that I cuddled in bed withmy 5 year old and napped for 2 hours then bought a movie a vegged on the couch for another 2 hours. I hate that I have to get up in the morinings and I guess not having an excuse to NOT go to the gym can kinda suck sometimes too BUT that isn't what my entire day is about KWIM?

Anyhow time to go get my 3 month blood work done. Ta ta.

Your exercise journal is unreal. I am going back this Monday when I return to work and will start out walking and work my way back to a good system. You are inspirational, especially since I only have my son and he sometimes leaves me whipped. Keep up the journal!

455 arrive at karate. 10 year old realises he left his belt at home which he specifically needs to gets stripped so he can test on Saturday.
510 Girls in kidcare and I am waiting for the one eliptical machine I can use. Person gets off I paused for 5 seconds at the bottom of the stairs to look at the clock and an older man RUNS up and jumps on the machine.

I am being a pig. I am in need of that "full" feeling I used to get before surgery. I almost never get a sensation of being full and I am usually ok with that but I am on my period and STARVING all the time. I am hoping the full feeling will help keep me from the starving feeling XXX fingers crossed. I have also been quite tired the last couple of days.....I can't wait to get my bloodwork on Wed and see if everything looks OK. I am kind of nervous, I am doing what I should and then some and if the labs come back low I just can't see where I can fit in more supplements....butI will if I have to I guess!

I only saw my trainer one time last week and I think I would do better with two. I have continiues my workouts and pushed myself to do what I need to but it's more fun when someone is there with you......plus they changed the radio in there to some station I am not digging-kinda drags the workout session out when you aren't jamming to the music. I can't get my music on my IPod cuz our running system in our computer isn't compatable

FYI not all GNC stores have the same prices. The iron at the GNC North County Fair is only $3 something and at the one by Mervyn's in Esco it's $9.99!!! The Lutine at NCF is $19.99 60 capsules 20mg and for the same stuff it's $24+ at the Esco one.......just thought I'd share a heads up. BUT at the Esco store you get 20% off every day and at NCF it's only the first Tues of the month.

I am seriously at the end here peoples! My husband just told me another employee is stealing and when he gets fired my husband is left working graveyard. I do just about everything that relates to the home and kids and Mommy needs a break. Graveyard shift ruins my life and it may just kill our marriage (I am being a little over dramatic but I am ANGRY!) My husband thinks that after working an 8 hour shift and doing a couple hours of paperwork that he can come home and sleep for 14 hours ignoring everything else in life simply because he has to work when it's dark out! This really pisses me off (betcha hadn't noticed) Why can't he get off at 7am, do his paper work until 9am come home, sleep until 4:30-5 help out with the kids-karate-dinner-bedtime then at 8pm when all the kids are in bed he can go back to bed for a couple of hours before he goes back in at 11pm?????????? WHY That is 9 hours.....3 more hours than I usually get daily......I am not feeling the love here guys.

I am done venting

For now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QueenB · 02-06-2006, 02:32 PM

I wanna go to the beach....figures the week the weather is kick ass I have Dr's appointments almost every day

I got on the scale this morning and I had gone up a pound. Guess all that chillin this weekend and snacking (b-day party type snacks and stress carb snacks-BAD GIRL) cought up to me. Probably didn't help that I slacked on working out either HA! I am doing much better so far today.

QueenB · 02-07-2006, 09:57 AM

I worked out twice yesterday. Wanna know why? It had nothing to do with working of calories, or thinking I ate bad, or a compulsion or anything like that. I couldn't take my kids anymore (the boys were at eachothers throats with my 10 yo instigating my overly tired 5 year old and even my girls were having at it yesterday which usually isn't the case) and I could get an hour of peace and quiet before bedtime for $7.00 with them in the kid center and I was all over it like white on rice LOL It was just what I needed.

You know, I drive 8 kids to school in the morning and one of them, a 10 yo girl, just takes over my truck. She tells people where they have to sit, turns the movie on, plays with the volume.....anything she wants. It is starting to bug me.....especially because I never offered to drive her AND she never asked she just started showing up and getting in the car???? I don't know her, her parents, where she lives.......nothing. Also there was a big incident where the kids were writing on my car (big NO-NO with me) before I got out to the parking lot and I could hear her screaming at my oldest son before they could actually see me but when I went about trying to figure out the problem she got lock jaw. Wouldn't say a word. Same thing happens if there is an issue while the boys are out playing. She has an outspoken friend who always comes to tell and does all the talking while she stands off to the side with her head down. One time they were telling because my 5yo told them he was going to beat them up AFTER these two 10 year old girls told him they were going to kick him in the balls/nuts.........can you believe this? I won't even let my husband refer to his as balls or nuts!!!! I understand he is an easy target being the youngest out playing (he is only allowed out with my 10 year old son with him) but ladies.....this Mother is NOT going to let you pretend your are angels and my son is some monster. I told them to move on or I was going to go have words with their mothers about their choice of language and if they didn't want trouble with my kids then to leave them alone. These girls are all over my oldest, they buy him gifts, give him food and follow him home but when he doesn't give them the attention they want they try to get him in trouble. I am entire too young for this already and so are THEY!!!!!!

I think this is coming out today because I finally asked her to leave the DVD's and tv alone this morning and she had the nerve to question me? I may look like a 15 year old babysitter BUT I am a mother and I was kind of shocked.

Well my Dr appointment is today at 2:15.....I need to start making my appts in the morning, I like how the scale looks better then

QueenB · 02-07-2006, 10:30 PM

I love the gym.....not just cuz I can put my kids in the care center and go about my business or because I can burn calories and get healthy but because of the people that are there. I have said before that it is a small gym and you get to know the people who go the same time as you but I love watching their progress, their determination and their spirit is contagious. I enjoy that much more than I realised. I love looking around and seeing everyone with a goal in mind. It's inspiring.

Went to the Dr's today. Nothing new, my weight is on track. I was told my exercise routine isn't out of the ordinary or anything extraordinary so those of you are doing less....more is expected of you. I was kind of hoping to get an "atta girl" but I actually got a "you aren't really doing all that much, 35 minutes on the eliptical isn't very long" !!!!! Anyhow I am sure I will get a "good job" atleast from my PCP tomorrow. The surgeon doesn't do blood work until 6 motnhs but I already did some for my PCP......hopefully my results will be in tomorrow......I hate anticipation.

QueenB · 02-08-2006, 02:24 PM

OK I LOVE my PCP.......she rocks. She is so possitive and such a champion for me. So I weighed in at 188, down 57lbs in 3 months WOO-HOO! My BP was 100/60, good and-best of all-my triglycerides went from 386 to 86

GO ME! Labs are all good (might have to have Traci take a look though just to make sure)

I am having a 90 minute message tonight and body polish. I would have scheduled it a different day had I know about the support meeting in E. county which is also tonight...bummer. I plan on getting in a workout first then showering and going for my message. I can't wait. My 3 month birthday pressy to myself.
