Happy New Year Jamie! Are you sick of snow too? We miss you and I hope things are going really well for you!

Hello,

Happy New Year everyone! I am so sorry I have been MIA these last few months. Things in my world are really crazy....my family life and my work life. Crazy!!!! I keep saying that things will calm down, but ya know I have been saying that for a while now. I am still holding out hope though....it has to calm down sometime soon!!!

Well I am sure that you all have heard and read that we received another snow storm today! Let me tell you, I am so sick of this snow. I have lived in Denver all my life and I don't ever remember seeing this much snow. I am tired of shoveling it!!! But it is great exercise. The first storm we got, we had (here in Brighton) about 4 feet or so. Maybe a little more, but at least that much. Then the second storm we had a little over a foot and then this storm we got about 5 - 6 inches. So shoveling all that is great or working out!!!! But yes I am done with it! I am more than happy to send some to someone else! Just let me know.

I have been doing really well with my eating.....I didn't stray to far during the holidays. I had a few little treats but didn't go overboard. I used to do that. I have not gained any weight, that is the good thing. I had a doctors appt inDecember and I was steady so that is great. I did lose from the last time that I was at the doctors, but that was a year ago, so I expected it really. I am really hoping to get back into the swing of things now that the holidays are over. I have not had a chance yet, due to work (year end! YUCK) but I doing a little bit each day. I am walking 40 minutes a day and I did just get done shoveling! Shoveling has become a weekly thing here!!!!

Thank you everyone that has kept my journal going....I think about WISH all the time. I am hoping that I can start to get here more often....like I used too.

I hope each of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas. I hope everyone was happy, healthy and safe during this holiday season.


I am going to try and get to other journals tonight,

Thanks again and have a great night

Hi Jamie
welcome 'home'
Wow you have had a lot of snow!!!! But at least your making the best of it with the shoveling!!
Well done on getting the walks in & not gaining during the holls, wish i could say the same..........
but i cant!!

Welcome back!! What a crazy amount of snow you've had! Please send some our way will ya? It's not natural now having any here. At least you're burning a lot of calories with that shovelling!! Congrats for not gaining over Christmas! That's a major accomplishment in and of itself.

Enjoy your weekend!

 

[lovinaz]

It's great to have you back! I've really missed your words of encouragement!

I don't envy you having to deal with all that snow, I hope the weather gets a little better for you soon. At least your work is closer, can you imagine having to drive that long distance like you did last year??

Great job maintaining over the holidays, that scale will start moving soon!

 

[Amy&Dan]

You are a nice wife, I make my husband do the shoveling! I told him the other day when he does a few loads of laundry I'll be happy to shovel alongside him! Great, great job maintaining over the holdiays. Wish (no pun intended) I could say the same! You are really doing well, this year will the year you go the rest of the way I know it!

Thats funny you live in Brighton, I remember when that was a small little farming town. Now its a suburb! My sister lived outside Brighton in about 1980, I can only imagine how its changed! If we get more snow I am hitchhiking back to WDW for the rest of the winter!

Keep up your hard work and it so good to see you back. I hope things calm down, if not we'll see you when you can get here!

Happy New Year Jamie! You are right, shovelling snow is a great workout! Sounds like with that and your walks, you are getting in some good exercise. Congrats on not gaining over the holidays! That is a great accomplishment.

It is great to see you back at WISH. Check in when you can!

 

[toystoryduo]

Welcome Back Jamie!

I'm sorry that you have to deal with all of that snow ... We usually have it this time of year, but I guess El Nino is sending it your way... Of course, our meteorologists have assured us that this is only temporary,that we will be getting snow soon and not to worry. I hope you and your family and friends stay safe and warm.

You are doing a great job, Jamie! Keep up the good work and you will meet your goals this year!

Have a great week!

Stopping by to WISH you a wonderful weekend!

Hello everyone.

Thanks for keeping my journal going for me....things have still bee crazy! I hate to say it, I always mess it up when I do, but, I things are starting to slow down. Not sure for how long, but we will see. I am making the most of it while I can.

So there for a while I was ready to give up. I kept telling my self that it must be in my future to be fat for the rest of my life and then I snapped back into reality and decided that was a dumb thing to think. Although I have not gained anyhting, not sure how I managed that, but I am still ready to get back on track. Eating has been okay, it could be much better, but I am not going to focus on that right now. I am looking forward to the future and what it holds. And right now I am seeing a much healthier me!!!

We have had a short break in the snow, but we have more coming this week, so I have not been working out! Meaning shoveling!!! But even at that I can't seem to get my rear in gear to work out in the house anymore. I know part of it is related to work. I was not getting home before 6pm and then I when I would get home I would have to cook dinner, feed the furbabies and then I was exhausted so I would not do anything. I can't even get out of bed in the monrings any more either. So I need to find something that I can do. Part of the reason I can't get going in the morning is because I hate being cold. When the alarm goes off I am in my nice warm bed and I don't want to get out of it. I don't want me to cold. I know that will only last a few minutes because once I get going, I will be hot again, but I just can't tell my brain that. LOL!

I know I asked for prayers and pixie dust a while ago regarding my sister and I need to ask for it again. She has done a wonderful job on getting her life and the kids' life back to normal and we found out yesterday that her soon to be ex husband will be getting out of jail in June. He is suppose to get out in June and then be on probation for a while which means he can't leave California, but I am worried that he will leave anyway and come looking for my sister and take the kids away. When he was on probation 2.5-3 years ago he left the country with the sister and kids so I have no doubt that he will do it again. My sister is taking precautions and renewed the restraining order against him and she is going to talking the kids to let them know that they are not to go anywhere with him. She said that the school and the police know what is going on and they are going to protect her (she lives in a very small town, only two sheriffs), but I still worry for her and the kids. Any spare good thoughts you have would be great.

I am going to try and get caught up on everyones journals within the next few days. My new goal outside of trying to get back on track is to start journaling again. Every day. I know I can do this.....I know I can

Thanks again everyone for keeping this going for me!

Have a great day

Welcome Back Jamie! It's so good to hear from you!

I am so glad that you didn't give up. It can be hard to be motivated in the winter wth the weather and all... Instead of working out, we'd rather hibernate and sleep in. Hopefully, the weather will break for you soon. If it doesn't, there's always shoveling snow to count as exercise! Remember, you CAN do anything you put your mind to Jamie! Keep on keeping on!

Prayers continue for your sister. That's good that she is being proactive in getting the restraining order renewed. That's also good that the school and local police know what is going on as well. Lots of prayers and coming their way...

Have a great day Jamie! Glad you're back!

 

[lovinaz]

Yay, you're back!! We sure missed you around here!

Good for your sister getting all her ducks in a row now. Hopefully her ex will just give up and leave the country by himself.

Great job not gaining, you must be doing something right. I know once you put your mind to it you'll be able to get back into your morning workout routines and healthier eating.

 

[traceycooper]

nice to 'see' you back Jamie

It must be very scary for your sister i hope everything works out for her

Well done on not gaining
I hear ya about not wanting to get up in the mornings, then again i cant get up even in the summer!!!
Have a super week

 

[eeyore25]

Hi everyone!!!

Well yesterday was okay, could have been much better though! I couldn't get out of bed...again. I tried, really I did. I just could not convice my brain, it was okay!!!! I will though I know I will. I was going to work out after work but then I remembered that DH was working late and it was my chance to make something i wanted for dinner and not hear him complain. So I skipped the work out and went straight to making dinner. Kinda crazy I know!!!

Things have been crazy at work still, if they don't get better, I don't know what I am going to do. In our department we have two supervisors, I am one of them. Well the other supervisor, if you want to call her that, literally does nothing. When it comes time to close the month, my group has to jump in and help because her group messes off all month. Then we have to pick up the slack and we don't get anything for it. Not even a thank you or anything. The rest of the company has no idea that I am doing her job and that bothers me. Our manager is so soft that she can't hurt a fly so her doing anything is like me even thinking about liking snakes. NOT gonna happen!!! So I don't know what I am going to do. I have tried just about everything, but nothing seems to work. If I tell our manager that my group isn't going to help out on monthend then we look bad. So I have some thinking I need to do on that.

Okay, sorry rant about work over!

Tuesday:
B @ 5:15 1/2 cup cereal with 1/2 cup milk
S skipped totally forgot about it
L @ 12:00 Qdoba. I had origally brought a frozen healthy choice but it was nasty, so I ruined my day and did Qdoba - chicken nacho with hot salsa, and cheese
S skipped, wasn't hungry
D @ 6:00 1 homemade ff bean burrito! YUM
Water has been good. That is about the only thing that has been lately. I have been getting at least 100oz each day. I have been in the potty at least....well a lot too!!! But that is okay. No exercise, unless you count walking from the parking garage to the mall shuttle. I don't really count that.

Hopefully Wednesday will be better. Nope...already blew it had a donut!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
