[larry's girl]

You're a great friend, Beth! Don't stress about us - you worry about you and Kate right now! You're doing SO great - I am SUPER proud of you.

Keep hanging in there, girl. It will all be worth it in the end.

Hugs.

Beth...So happy you guys enjoyed the play. That's awesome about Kate and the poster!!!

So sorry you had such a hard time w/ Jon the weekend, and then the car. Maybe painting will be a good stress relief--good exercise too!

Great job on the Loss! You are doing so good sticking to you exercising. We all stress eat now and then. Every day is a new day!

Don't you worry about us right now...Take care of you guys. We'll be here!

Best,
Stacie

First of all, don't you ever say you're not a good friend. When we are going through stuff, you are the one helping us through it. You're still a great friend when YOU'RE the one going through stuff. Don't add that to your list of things to stress about - please!

How awesome for Kate at Mama Mia! Sounds like she received a little pixie dust! She must've been so excited.

I think you did the right thing by going to your mom's for the weekend instead of staying and being mad/frustrated. You're such a great example to Kate as to how to handle bad situations. And no matter how young she is, she sees that.

Don't worry about the stress eating. We all have our times. You're still working out, and you're conscious of your eating. No one says you have to be 100% perfect all of the time. You do what you can, Beth. I know for certain that if I were in your shoes I wouldn't be doing even 1/2 as good as you.

Take care!!

Ditto to all that!!!

Your a strong, independant woman Beth, be proud of who you are

I agree with all that Kim has said too. Beth, you are amazing woman. The strength that you show inspires me. I know that everything that is going on with Jon is hard for you, but you are standing strong for you and for Kate. What a wonderful example you are for your daughter!

We're here for you, girl. Take good care of you!

Beth -- You are a wonderful friend to all of us here ALL the time. It doesn't matter whether you are posting in journals at any given moment. We know you are there and caring. I am so glad Kate had such a wonderful time at Mama Mia and that the cast appreciated her appreciation of them.
I'm so sorry, sweetie, for all you are going through. All I can do is send you lots of and tell you that we all know you are are strong and you are good and you will come through this stronger than ever. You deserve so much more than you have been getting. I can't wait until you can move on to the next chapter and put that jerk behind you.
Congrats on your 1.4 pound loss!

Beth ..... take care of YOU! And I'm really glad you enjoyed Mama Mia. My 11 y/o DD wants to see it (LOVES the music) but I have been wondering if she'd understand WAY too much. I almost think it would be better if she were younger...11 year olds are WAY more sophisticated than we were . I remember taking her to Grease several years ago and OH MY GOODNESS...who knew the play had SOOOOO much adult humor . But it ALL went over her head. No worries!

Hang in there girl. And I'm so proud of you for all the pilates and fitness yoga. And I still get sore FYI . Matter of fact...my triceps are screaming at me today from my OWN classes! I made myself sore again. Yikes!

Have a great week. I'm sorry you had a tough weekend with "he who shall not be named". But it sounds like you did what you needed to do for your own sanity!!!

 

[MIdanceMom]

Hi Everyone,

Thank you to EVERYONE who comes to this journal. You all mean the world to me, and your support has helped a great deal.

It's been one of those weeks, you know? Jon is being his usual self. I had a tire blow out on me Monday. I was going 80MPH on a 4 lane highway. Scary. I sliced up my hand changing the tire, and needed 9 stitches. Kate is in a growth spurt, which means she is tired a crabby. Today I was hit by a patient. (Psych history and versed do not mix well.) It's only Wednesday! I should have slept through the week. Oh Well.

I am actually doing a bit better mentally. I am not quite so down and overwhelmed today. I have been eating out of control lately. I realize it as I am doing it, but it is compulsive. I can't seem to stop. I am trying soimething ner. I just had an apple and peanut butter. I am hoping that snack can tide me over until dinner. I'll eat dinner, and then I am challenging myslef to not snack after dinner.

I have Pilates tonight. It should be interesting because I am already sore from yesterday. I am so glad my girlfriends are in the class. I can's stand them up, so it forces me to go. I need the workout since I have been eating like a pig. The scale is up, and I can feel it in my jeans. Ugh

Wow, I actually have to do some work. Ou last 2 patients have been no show/no call. Must run.

Take care and thank you again,
Beth

 

[toystoryduo]

Beth,

Oh sweetie, I am so sorry for all that you have been through the past few days. It sounds like you could really use a vacation to get away from it all.

Thank God that you are okay! Going 80 MPH and having a tire blow is a very scary thing! I'm sorry to hear about your hand. How is it feeling today?

I hope you have a good time at Pilates tonight. Please be sure and take extra special, good care of you!

 

[AmyBeth68]

WOW BETH....that is just NOT FAIR. Nobody should have to put up with all the cr@p you've been dealing with lately. I'm so sorry about the tire incident (OUCH )! Hang in there and enjoy the "beth time" at pilates tonight. I bet you are doing awesome in the class . It's important, under the circumstances, that you still take some time for yourself.

 

[postesf]

Oh Beth...What a week honey. Stitches??? Ouch!

Don't feel too bad about your eating... I had a snickers today!

Hang in there Beth and try to enjoy your class tonight. Hopefully it will help you relax some!!!

Hi Everyone,

Well I did it. I didn't snack last night. That is a major victory for me lately. Baby steps will get me there, right? I bhad a great time at pilates last night, but I had to modify some of the moves. I couldn't put pressure on my hand, so I had to do some of the things on my elbows. Grr...Oh well, at least I did it. I prefer the pilates class to the yoga class, but I could probably do with more meditation in my life.

Today is another slow day at work, so I can WISH throughout the day. After work, I just have to help Kate with homework, make spaghetti for dinner, start some laundry, and clean some more. I plan on hitting the treadmill somewhere in there. I'm not feeling very motivated today, so I am trying not to bite off more than I can chew today. I always feel guilty when I don't accomplish everything on my to do list. I'll keep it short today.

The snack at 230 helped a bit, so I am going to do that again.

Food today:
B: Yogurt wirh raspberries and tea. 4
L: Baked potato topped with Wendy's chili, 2T shredded cheese, and 1T light sour cream. 8
S:apple with peanut butter 5
D:Spaghetti squash with turkey meatballs and marinara. Salad. 12

Okay, that is what I am committing to.

Have a good one,
Beth

ETA: I've gotten into a goofy mood this afternoon. I am not sure I made any sense whatsoever on my journal rounds. One of our patients brought in homemeade truffles. She brought in 3 dozen. I have had 1. I am counting it as 4 points, and a victory. I am going to leave in 30 minutes, and could easily have eaten 6.

Hey Beth

Congrats with eliminating the snack last night!! I know how hard it is to get rid of things like that from your routine...seems we all get used to those kinds of things and they are so tough to eliminate (I used to eat every single night before bed...and was drinking tea and coke with every single meal...those were all tough to kick!) so great job :!!

Glad to see that you had a good time at pilates too!! The one thing I really love about it is the ability to modify...some exercises are tougher than others and it's nice to be able to adapt each one to your personal needs/abilities.

Sounds like it's a good day for you...keep up the great work!

If you'd like to take a vacation - you and Kate are always welcome to come to NJ!
.

Beth-you have so much going on! im glad you enjoyed mama mia...
How is your hand feeling by the way?

 

[traceycooper]

Hi Beth
glad your ok from the tyre blowout - it could have been so much worse!
Well done for resisting late night snacking & those truffles!!!
Have a great weekend

 

[toystoryduo]

Great job resisting the late night snacking and the truffles!

How is your hand doing?

Hope you have a great weekend!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Beth, I am so proud of you. You didn't snack and you might be doing a bit of compulsive eating but if you are down at WW (1.4 is awesome) I think its not too much! As for Jon and Darcy's sicko offering, you handled that beautifully! Even wacko people can still shock ya sometimes huh? Good job girlfriend!

I hope your hand is better, I am so glad you were okay, it could have been much worse. Tell that patient to go hit Darcy next time and give him her address so he can do it! What a week, hope your weekend is a fun one.

Glad you enjoyed Mama Mia, that is so cool they gave Kate that poster.

Hang in there sweetie, you are doing an amazing job.

Hi All,

My hand is fine. Fortunately it is my left, and I am right handed.

I have overeaten today, but I just don't care. DH called me at work to tell me that he was headed to Columbus. I had planned on working out. Well, I had to come home first to get the munchkin. I went to Lifetime, and did 30 minutes on the elliptical. That is when stinky sleazy man jumped on the machine next to me. I generally don't go to the Troy location. It is more of a meatmarket, but it is closer. This guy was in his early 50's and had at least 5 gold chains around his neck. He was also so stinky that I wanted to vomit. That is the kind of guys I seem to attract. I cut my workout short, and got hte heck out of there.

I've taped up te walls tonight, and I'll start painting tomorrow. I am not looking forward to it. We have an open floorplan, so the entire 1st floor ceiling needs to be painted at once. Jon was going to help, but he is too busy screwing his girlfriend. I am going to WW to face the music.

I'll be honest. I doubt I'll get to journals this weekend. Between the painting and caring for Kate, I just hope I get to sleep.

Sending to all.

Take care,
Beth

 

[toystoryduo]

Beth,

Sending some your way to help you get the painting done.

I'm glad to hear that your hand is feeling better.

Take good care of you, sweetie.

 

[Amy&Dan]

OMG Beth, stinky men with gold chains seem to be attracted to me too! Take some mace next time you go to that location. At least you worked out in spite of the clientale. That sucks about Jon going to Columbus while you paint, but its not a bit surprising. They truly do deserve one and other. Once you get this house painted and sold think how proud you will feel. You did it on your own while dumb a** and his skanky girlfriend played pin my tail on the loser. You are so much better than those two morons.

Have some fun with Kate, don't worry about what you ate. Today is a new day and I think you are doing fantastic. You may have a few missteps here and there but you are staying on that wagon and you are doing it. Don't let a few emotional eating sessions bring you down. Just make sure you eat something yummy when you need to splurge! Love ya Beth, you are going to get through this.

 

[traceycooper]

Hi Beth
hope the painting is going well
How did it go at WW??
