Julie's continual struggle (WW thread - comments VERY welcome!!)

[karynnix]

WOW! Your journal wears me out! You stay so busy! You honestly would think that with all of the things that women do, we shouldn't weigh more than about 90 pounds! Keep up the great work that you are doing!

Congrats on those size 12s!!!! They sound so small! I can't wait until my 14s are too big for me.

Great job on your exercise. No wonder your 12s are fitting with all of the exercise minutes you've gotten in this month.

Hope your daughter gets feeling better.

Don't forget WW on Thurs!

 

[goldcupmom]

I'm done for today. It's 9 p.m. and still 88 out. UGH!!! And no rain again. We had .16 the other day and you would think it was a flood how excited everyone got.

Ended up having a WW ice cream (2) Frozen grapes (0), an olive sandwich on lt bread (2) and baked lays and I'm done eating for today. I'm almost through with my 2nd 64 oz water.

DS ought to be getting off work soon and the others will be home then off to bed. Tomorrow I've gotta start organizing all the fall ebay stuff and clean house. I'd like a stay in jammies & get things done day, but I'm not sure it will happen. I WILL exercise, tho!

Night all.

 

[Mykelogan]

Hi Julie!!

I'm praying for rain for ya! And frozen grapes! Sooo yummy!!
Hope you have a great night and get some jammies time tomorrow!!
hehehe!

Mike

 

[lillygator]

Hi Julie - I wish I could bottle up all the rain here and send it to you....this afternoon thunderstorms are a pain!

I like you "stay in jammies" plan!! If it was Saturday I'd be right there too!!

 

[Lesli54]

Wow! Just think a size 12 and one 11! Now that is progress. I think that if you ever get to where you aren't sure if you can make it, you should read back at the beginning of your journal. I know you didn't think these smaller clothes would come, but in time they did. CONGRATS!

Hope that you find some time to relax today and that the heat dissapates.

 

[goldcupmom]

You are right, Lesli, size progress is really good! I imagine the 12 Anne Klein run a bit big, but 12 is 12!

DH came home after fencing in a blue funk. Apparently the job the guy talked to him about is going up on the corporate wide open board - and it's a HUGE company - so anyone anywhere can apply. He is doubting his chances now. I'm not as he would be the logical choice as he's already 'acting' as that job, filling in for his current boss. Time will tell. The job gets posted next Monday, but no telling how long they will take to decide. Other than that, they haven't yet said what jobs will be eliminated/people gone. So, I'm just swimmin' & prayin'.

My scale still isn't moving, but I can feel the bloat. Heat does it to me, plus the ever unpredictable TOM (interesting that DH name is Tom hmmmmm......)

At present I'm having my decaf. Breakfast will be kashi & yogurt w/ some blueberries. The rest of the day is still up for decision. DD is fencing again tonight and DH will take her as DS16 is off today after gym and I need to be here to help him finish his journal for English - he tends to overlook some items as the assignment for it is VERY confusing and not well organized. I will do the WATP 3 mile Abs today. I'm a bit sore from the 4 mile so this one is slightly different.

Off to check out some other journals. Have a great Tuesday. Try to stay cool!

 

[Lesli54]

It's too bad that your DH has to stress about his job. Maybe he really already has it, but with the new changes, it may be a requirement that it is posted. That internal stuff happens all the time. It's good for those already in the position or guaranteed the position, but it is bad for those who waste their time applying. I hope for you that it is the case anyway. Looks like it will be a long week.

Just keep plugging along.

 

[Cruise04]

Keep going at it - you are doing well and I'm excited for you to go to WW on Thursday!!!!

And size, in this case, does matter - going from one DOWN to another is a major accomplishment, no matter what the size!!!! WHOOOHOOOO

Keep on
Chris

 

[pearlieq]

Hi!

Congrats on those 12's!!! That had to feel great!!!

Sending PPD for your DH. I hope everything works out.

Have a great day today--stay cool!!!

 

[goldcupmom]

There is no telling about DH job. This company does strange things that often make absolutely no sense to anyone.

Lunch is TUNA roll up......hmmmmm......wonder whose journal got me hungry for Tuna????

After lunch WATP. It's already really hot here and I just turned on the swamp.

 

[Tasha+Scott]

Hi, Julie! I am keeping my fingers crossed that things go well w/your dh's job! And I definitely think going by size is more important than what the scale says! A size 12 would have me leaping for joy right now!

 

[Mykelogan]

Lunch is TUNA roll up......hmmmmm......wonder whose journal got me hungry for Tuna????

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
I have started the TUNA REVOLUTION!!! Everyone on the WISH boards must eat their tuna!!! (I wonder if I can get a kickback from Chicken of the Sea?! hahaha!)

 

[rcyannacci]

Yummy- frozen grapes sound so good right now! I'm inspired to buy some on my way home. (too bad I don't like tuna )

Best of luck to your DH...I'd imagine its pretty stressful to be putting all of your energy into a job and not know if it will still be yours months down the line. Sending good thoughts...

Hope you have a good day!

 

[goldcupmom]

Well, evening isn't going as planned. No exercise, and there isn't time before DH gets home. Had to go to DS19 and drop off more collection notices, overdraft notices. He said he got my letter and it's like a concentration camp. I asked if he thought being in jail would be better as that is where he is headed. No comment. UGH!!!!!

Dinner was tortilla chips with a tiny bit of cheese and salsa. I did, however, resist the Krispy Kreme 2 dozen I bought. DS16 and I had to take DD to DH for fencing and I had to pee, and KK was the only place nearby. Thus the donuts. None for me.

Not sure what if anything else I'll have tonight. I've 4 pts left.

Very tired, very stressed.

9:30 p.m. - it is still 90 out and 85 in. This is as cool as it gets. UGH!!! When I win the lottery I'm buying refrigerated air!! Maybe I can ask Santa!

The KK donuts are calling my name. I had a ww bar for 2 pts and have 2 left I'm not gonna use. I took 2 donuts - chocolate & blueberry - and put them in a ziploc in the cupboard. If I decide to eat one it will be on Thurs after weigh in. May give them to DD. That would be a better choice.

 

[goldcupmom]

Keep telling myself - yes, I'm going to WW tomorrow, yes, I'm going to WW tomorrow, yes, I'm going to WW tomorrow.......

I forgot to write the ff HD (1) I had late yesterday as I needed something before bed, so OP again. YEAH!!!!

Today is liquid day and I WILL make it today. When I was doing liquid one day a week before I liked how it make me feel. Couldn't do it frequently, but, except for the bathroom trips, felt good.

I need to get in touch with DS19 as there are now 2 recalls on his(my) car and I know he won't deal with them. He doesn't work until Friday night so we need to take it in.

Still working on catching up in the house, getting DS16 done with school and sorting Ebay. I can't believe school here starts in 3 wks. Where has summer gone?????

Finally dug out the Eddie Bauer coat I found on Monday and showed it to DH and it fit him and he liked it. More a lined jacket, but probably good for most of winter here.... and it was a whole $1.00!!!

Off to hopefully catch up on some journals. More later......

 

[Cruise04]

You WILL go to WW tomorrow, you WILL go to WW tomorrow, you WILL go to WW tomorrow - how's that for a
"cheering" section!!!!

Good for you for resisting the KK's. I know that's hard. I LOVE them!!!!! Maybe putting them in the cupboard in this heat will mold them before tomorrow and then you CAN'T eat them!!!!!! (Hey, it's a thought). But putting them away and having them as a treat tomorrow after weigh-in is a good idea!!!! YOU GO.

Sorry about your stress - I hope it gets better.

Keep on
Chris

 

[toystoryduo]

Hi Julie!

I wanted to stop by and thank you for your post in my journal. I appreciate it! I am going to try and get caught up on your journal in the next few days.

Congratulations on the size 12's and on resisting the power of the Krispy Kreme! Krispy Kreme donuts are my favorite! The good thing for me is that the local gas station that carries them is currently closed for remodeling so no Krispy Kremes for me.

I hope you have a healthy and happy day today! Take care!

 

[goldcupmom]

KK's are DANGEROUS!!! I'd never had until we moved here and they opened 2 years ago. Where they are I have to pass by them to go ANYWHERE! Really unfair! And on a bad day I can consume a dozen donuts - of any brand - very easily.

I just realized that I woke up ravenous and with my blood sugar low feeling, so am actually drinking my coffee w/ ff creamer instead of looking at it. I'll likely have my first 'shake' soon.

 

[Lesli54]

You are going to WW.......KK's are bad.......You are going to WW..........KK's are bad...........You are..........well, you get the picture.

I know you will make it to WW tomorrow. You made a commitment and so far you are still on track for seeing this through. Giving the KK's to DD is a great idea. Take if from someone who has eaten way too much b-day cake lately. The taste is good for a moment, but then you just want more. Best to resist in the beginning.

Hope your stress level can stay on an even keel as you deal with DS19.

Have a great day and try to stay cool.
