Tracy I thought that was kat's post too, lol I had 5 days of having to drag myself out of bed pitty party, im back up to what i lost but... I am super PMS, going to do lots f lemon water, plus been pb'n on everything, i'm a mess, but.... i have been walking and starting to feel it big time in my butt, i'm taking this morning off, might go later tonight. So there, not lost anything, still 208, i suck! I have a gift card from jcp i got for xmas, only $25 but i got a thing in the mail for $10 off any item $10 or more and that and a huge sale, i'm going to see if i can pick up a couple of things for AL with that, even if a couple of cute tops, I love summer tops I am going to do a week of tanning next week for a refresher on the places i can't tan in the sun. My dd is fair like you Tracy, i got her 6 visits and as I can go in for the full time within 3 visits the first time for the year, she only went in for 3 and worked up to 5, just to take the pastyness away, she cannot be in the sun, but ds, he has not used a drop of sunblock and is tan, not dark dark, but is definately tan, she has her father's irish skin and he is all mine. LOL ok i'm off for the day, make it a good one everyone

well i'm officially very broke, but just paid my last bill for the month, so i guess that is good. Hopefully July 1 will start off good. I got behind because i didn't know when i was going to get an unemployment check and was freaked, but got 1 and will be ok... tight budget but ok Pamela, sorry I went to type a few times and realized i didn't. I know you are 2 hrs from Pasadena, but that is ok, i'll have a car and can leave the kids behind.. So if you stay home would love to visit. May do a day trip to the beach, have our Six Flags passes, so Magic Mt will be in there and i told my friend if i'm going to get on a plane and go all that way, we are driving to San Diego! I love it there. I found flights on Delta for $350 xmas week, i would have to drive to NY but would be a direct flight, so worth it to me, plus, holiday week... that includes all taxes and everything. off to shower, i have nervous energy

Terry have tons of fun girlfriend Kat- thank you. Kev has made a complete 360 since January, not saying it is always easy with his injury but he is trying so hard, has been taking me placed and writing down things he promises so he doesn't forget. The last couple of weeks has been hard because he has not felt like getting out of bed because he feels so badly, but now we know why. I told him he can't leave me now, not after the last 6 months and he is stuck with me so be strong and get his ticker fixed. My mother scared me last night telling me some of the things that could happen, but i'm not thinking negative, waiting for his cath today to find out what is next.... but either way, it is getting better with us. Anyway, going to be a long day, wanted to pop in real quick. have to jump in the shower howdy everyone!

Good morning gals #i went for my 45 minute walk #2 I guess i like my eyes. I was going to say i like that i can motivate myself when i need to, but that is not all the time, so i don't think it counts Please pray for Kev, I know you are all not so found of him, but he has been trying, but the last month he has been very off again, tired, distant, depressed.... anyway, it all is so familier and i should have put 2 and 2 together, but his artery is blocked again. He has a stent put in 3 years ago. He is going in for a cath tomorrow to find out exactally what is going on andwhat needs to be done, and will probably be going in for another stent on Monday. off to go get this pb thing undercontrol. i cantell i'm stressed

morning everyone Judy, we are getting your rain, but it is so nice, my plants perked up and my new grass seed suddenly sprouted up this morning. We have not had any rain in a couple of weeks and it was getting scary dry, thank goodness we were not having the extreme heat, but we have been enjoying the pool extra early this season. Jane, i'm going on no sleep too, i just crawled back to bed, going to make it a lazy day My flight from alb to Detroit is an airbus... I'm having complete panic attacks and ready to trade my ticket in. Pamela - had a drink with my mom and one of my very good friends last night....they talked me into going to LA for xmas and parade on jan 1. Can i come visit while i'm out there? I'm sure i'll need to get away from family ...I know my mother she will get a flight before i can change my mind, or just not tell me she is getting tickets, that is how i ended up with a puppy, who i miss terribly, but i said yes over a drink and had one the next day. have a good day, i'm back to bed

Morning gals Judy- yuck, i got sun poisioning once, fell asleep for 3 hrs in a row boat, it was ugly, and not the allergic type of poisioning. I still have a scar from the blisters. Terry - have fun at work today i am super pms, ate like crap last night, a little of everything in my path. I'm so bloated. but i'm not going to let it beat me down, i'm still walking today, and I think i'm going to start hitting the gym again this week, weights 2- days a week well, off to get ds on the bus and go for my walk, then shower and leave for six flags, going to be a beautiful day. I'm getting myself a pass so we will have something to do this summer that won't cost more than gas, and it is only 45 mins away, 15 mins from where i use to work. have a great day everyone

Terry she is so pretty and looks like she is lots of fun to shop with. and yes i probably should not bake so much, i've just been working my butt off out there. but, on a happy note, i was so bored i was only out for 45 mins. I usually use tanning stuff with some sunscreen. i'm going to go clean the pool - been pb' for days, not sure what that is all about.

Morning gals had a nice day yesterday. Baked in the sun, got a little fried I think, took ds to a party, made dinner and never ate becausse my neighbors came over and we drank rasp lemonade for hours. got in a heated discussion with one of my friends and knew it was time to go in. ate a couple of bites of food and pb' up and showered, going to breakfast shortly then going to lay in the sun and mow the front lawn. Going to get dd's season pass to six flags tomorrow, she has been working really hard and ready for exams so we are taking a mental health day without ds. I'm going to water park part and going to bake in the sun while her and her friend go on rides and stuff. They are going to six flags in MA on Saturday with their field trip and I don't want to go do the season pass thing on the weekend. anyway, off to get dressed and mow the lawn and figure out my day.

Morning gals it is a beautiful day here, got up at 7, had a cup of coffee and went for my walk. sun is out and clouds are gone, i'm sitting on my deck for the first time with my computer and my egg beater and my laptop. It is so nice and worth not having a penny left. I'm going to float in the pool for a bit today while the kids play on the slip n slide, then ds has a birthday party. Tracyk - remember i posted about how i was called out last week and had a breakdown? well 2 days after that a commercial came on for the slim shots... and ds said "mom you should do that" so I know what you are feeling! Terry - during all my dieting, 155 was my lowest and i was so tiny... my dd is 5'8 and weighs 160ish but i all muscle... I just want to get to 175 and tone little, and that seems impossible... shoot, i'm -5 less than when i got prego for ds, bt was more tone, didn't have 100lbs of excess shit...LOL I'm going to take charge, i was bad last night, had 1 serving of sweet pot fries, i baked, but it was my treat. I really want eggplant, but i'm not sure if i should have some. Tracyks - you go ... you will be back in no time... off to take charge of my life... or as much as i can have a great day! Heather - how are you doing?

Thanks gals Terry- you know as soon as i got off the phone with you i had the instant "holy shit i have to get on a plane" Since i don't have any credit cards, when my mother gets back i'll book the flight. I told/asked Kev if it was ok that i go, he said i deserve it but is kind of freaked out..... our entire woking on thing, and his son is leaving for the Navy on the 23rd and ds's last day of school is the 24th, and he claims he is taking us away on the 4th for the week, he knows i don't trust that until we are in the car. Heather, congrats. I just wanted to pop on, I have to do laundry and really want to clean, ok not really but it is going to rain so good time to do it. I seem to be mowing the lawn every few days to keep it neat.... and keep me outside.

Hi gals quick check in... going to get ice cream with kids... did more planting and mulching today. I would love to hop a plane, i have a credit at delta and checked today 197 with tax for me to go thurs - sun... but i would feel horribly guilty and not have any spending money so i don't know... but will keep it in the back of my mind. Heather, my water broke with ds.... it was so strange... was not the huge gush i thought it would be... i felt like i peed my pants...so let us know when you have that sweet baby. i feel like the fat kid again - that stupid lyme did such strange things to my muscles, so now i feel like i'm all flabby and fat... at least before i was just fat... walked again today... 1 egg beater, 1/4 c corrned beef hash, 1/2 cup lettuce and roast beef salad for lunch. I'm going to make a shake for dinner. anyway.... other than that nothing new.... just being depressed from not leaving my house or being social.

Mornng gals Tracy- how cute... ds graduates June 24th, we get out of school way late here I'm giong to have a 10th and1st grader all at the same time! yikes Terry - slow and steady wins the race..... chocolate in moderation is good for you.. MOFA ..LOL Tracyks -good for you... i think we are in the same place... Yest 2 egg beaters and 1 slice 2% cheese 110 cal 16g p protein shake for lunch 300 cals 60g p 1/2 cup lettuce, homemade ranch dressing with sliced roast beef and cheese (went to pizza shop and sliced my roast from Monday night - boy was that good) 300 cals and 15g p I lost 5lbs yest.... YIPEE.. but this is my starting point of the -5 challange because i had creaped back up to 209 on the antidepressants ... so 205 is a good starting place.... I was in denial i gained 14lbs from my all time low... Jane,.... did you find your stuff on your computer? I so wish i could go on the trip. I'm honestly so very depressed it has taken all i have for the last week to get ot of bed.... walk 4 miles, crawl back in bed.... get up and shower... back to bed... my mom let me sleep this morning, i had a huge spider in my room last night and couldn't sleep, because i've been seeing things that are not here... i've been freaking out thinking there are spiders all over me, and then last night there was a real one.. so i'm losing sight of what is real and what is not. actuall scares me to death. I'm finishd with my coffee... going to take my mental self for a walk and to get my hair cut. It is falling out so badly i'm going to try to cut off a few inches to see if it helps it look fuller. all the dark is gone from underneath.... maybe i'll go have some bloodwork done. anyway, have a great day Pam...send some sunshine.... or some margies... i could use both!

Thanks Tracy i went grocery shopping today, got my chicken tenders i ate everyday for a year, and stuff to make shakes, but thanks for reminding me what a shake drinking fool i was. I too had one hell of a pitty party, but i'm done, staying in bed for 3 days is just going to make me fatter, which is why i went for a walk this morning. and i'm going to make myself get up every morning had 1 chicken tender for lunch with 1/2 cup of lettuce and was so full, so i hope this works... stupid 25lbs... that is all i want to lose.... i'm kicking ass and taking names later...i'm done!
