Lost 12 pounds - but this isn't really a good (or healthy) thing.
DH lost his job (of 22 years) a week ago Tuesday, and we are both still reeling physically, anyway, from the shock. Eating and sleeping became, apparently, something we really no longer needed to do. Not a diet I'd recommend to anyone, btw
i'm so sorry to hear that! and i'm also really sorry to hear about the cancelled trip. i know how heartbreaking that is, both of them. it's good to see that you're looking at the situation with a positive view, though. not very many people can do that. your husband is lucky to have you!!! 
You DON"T eat when your stressed????
That's when I do the MOST eating!!!

[What did the Dr. give you? Did you get a Z-pack? You should be feeling better by now. Sorry!
:
Thank you!Awww, Belle! Hope you feel better really, really soon!
I agree!! Thank you!!I used to get strep all the time growing up. I'm still pretty prone to it. Once I had Mono and strep at the same time. Horrible!! I feel for you..having a sore throat is worse then anything else. Feel better soon!!!!
I am off to the chirpractor this am. I threw out my back yeterday struggling with DD, long story for later I suppose, and I hav ebeen unable to stand up since then. UGH. I have a bad back but it has never done this.
OK, I don't know how to post my weigh in this week. Attn: Wendy - Here's what I've got. Do with it what you will.So, 2 weeks ago (my last weigh in), I was at 211.6, I think. Last week, I got several different numbers, all hovering around the 224-225 mark.
I did! Actually, it was the first thing I ate! When I went to take Jasper out (the first thing I do in the morning), I was soooooo groggy, and she was sooooooo groggy. And I decided to pop a Dove square in my mouth before heading outside. I don't drink soda during the week anymore, so I figured this would serve as my 'feine fix and maybe wake me up a little.
I have been know to sprinkle a few chocolate chips into my bowl of oatmeal. It kind of tastes like a no-bake cookie. 
+ 0.8 lbs
Yes it is a gain but I did fall off the wagon for about 3 weeks and I missed about 3 WW meetings. So considering all that, gaining less than a pound is pretty miraculous. Plus going back to my meeting last night really helped to remind me that I do want it and I'm ready to start fresh. Although I'm very confused as to why I did not gain more. When I say I fell off the wagon, I mean it. I was binging and eating fast food, candy. But usually I skipped a meal whereas before I'd eat that too...maybe that's why?
I have a meeting (over the phone) to talk to my supervisor about my externship sites for the fall and winter. I have to do a semester in pediatrics and 1 semester in adults. Send pixie dust that she is helpful and can get me into a good site. She is a little loopy and it took me forever just to set this meeting up!
Have a great Friday Peeps! In 2 weeks, I'll be hanging with my friend at WDW!
and prayers for your placement next year!Prayers to you and your family!!
hey, guys! i just paid all my bills for the next two weeks and figured out that we have around $600 to play with while at WDW. our trip is paid in full and we're on the DDP, so that amount would be to cover tipping that's not included on the DDP (sometimes i give more - it's the ex-server in me!), souvenirs, alcohol, on-the-road a/k/a fast-food meals, any extra food/snacks we want to buy, admission to kennedy space center (around $35 per person, i think), our one-night bed and breakfast stay in titusville, florida ($80) and dinner at dixie crossroads (a seafood restaurant that's been highly recommended to me) in titusville after KSC. think we'll be okay? this is our first trip to disney since we've been adults, so i've never budgeted for it before. i know you guys are the experts!
and prayers! I hope your dh has a placement/headhunter/resume service - if not, find one, call a local community college - there is free help out there! Good Luck, think forward!! and I am so sorry you have that huge hole by having to do the right thing by cancelling your dream WDW trip - take time to get him on the right track with a job placement service - then redo!! Yep. Born and bred. Lived here almost my whole life.
Eeyore - tell your negative half to hush! Only let the positive talk.
Put the other one in the corner.
I have to rotate with all my personalities so everyone gets a turn.
that is SO me!! I cant tell you how hard it was to get over that hurdle, those first 4 weeks of just moving forward walking... screaming I hate running, and I cant do it! Now today 45 minutes... 
I know a huge factor is my dh's support, getting another trip to WDW, and of course shopping - you do have to have the right outfit!! Hi Peeps! I hope everyone is having a skinny day!
Love your PMA (Positive Mental Attitude)!
I am on 1000 mg. of Augmentin twice a day for ten days. My fever is finally gone and my throat is looking better but it is still so swollen! My neck hurts on the inside and outside.
well I hope you recover quickly - make sure you take ALL that augmentin (said in my best Mother voice) and drink your fluids!!
Thank you!
I agree!! Thank you!!
I hope your back feels better soon!
I think your scale is way off! Especially since you are down a size. Chocolate for breakfast? You are my kind of girl.
Prayers to you and your family!!
I think that will be enough. If you are really worried you could always wait to buy your souvenirs until the last day to see how much you have. I think you will be fine! I am so excited for you! I hope you have a great time!!
Let's do it, do it, DO IT!! SUCK IT UP AND SUCK IT IN - COME ON SUCK IT IN PEEPS!!
. I'll think of ya!!!
NO! Not to take over...just help out...share the load....give a sista a break! Ya know? Just thought maybe a holiday once in a while would be nice. Happy to help next week! When are you leaving and returning....so's we don't worry about ya.
HAVE A MAGICAL DL TRIP!! and that's an order do you hear me world??
Make sure you make time for YOU Wendy! (wouldnt want you getting sick, or staying sick - stay healthy!!) thinking I'd rather be in DL!!
