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

[toystoryduo]

Hi Julie!

Thanks for stopping by my journal with words of encouragement! I really needed them today.

I know what you mean about feeling like you have to start this weight loss journey over and over again. I have that feeling quite a bit; especially since I've been in the same weight range for the past 8 months.

The important thing is to keep on keepin' on, Julie! You CAN do it and your WISH friends are here to cheer you on to VICTORY!!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sounds like life is keeping you busy. I know how that goes. Don't worry too much about the derailed day, just get back on track the next day. You really want this and you know that you have to keep going.

Keep up the great work you are doing and have "fun" merging all those calendars. I think I just finished merging mine.

Hey Julie!!! Long time no see...I've missed you! I've been very BAD at getting to journals over the past few weeks...good intensions, but just haven't gotten it done!

Just wanted to drop in and give you some encouragement...I had been on a plateau for like 3 wks...I was getting so bummed...then I started dropping again...if you just keep doing what you're supposed to do, the pounds WILL come off!

ok, now off to encourage someone else...til we meet again...JUST KEEP SWIMMING! ~Jen

Did the WATP 4 mile. Breakfast was egg Beaters, 2 ww tortillas, ff chz (4)
Lunch a flat out bread w/ ff chz and mango salsa (4) chips(2). Also had 1 pepperidge farm mint milano sugar free cookie(1) Need to keep these under lock & key. And turkey (1). No idea on dinner yet.

Off to get some cleaning done & do a bit of Ebay.

Hi Julie!

Just wanted to pop in and see how you were doing today.

Hope you are having a great Saturday!

 

[goldcupmom]

Dinner was lemon pepper chicken (3), frozen broccoli, carrots, potatoes, noodles & lf chz (5) I might have a 2 pt ice cream later, or maybe just water. I'm bushed!

Today I completed the bathroom that was my 'this week' thorough cleaning job. Seems everyone in my house was throwing anything they didn't want to take care of in there. Next week I'll do my Dining room. My hutch is overflowing. Much of it is knick knacks from my MIL that I really don't want, don't like, but they were hers. I think I'll ask the kids what they might want and rid out a bunch.

I also have to finish my kitchen floor tomorrow as I've retired the doggie play pen and am going to put crates in instead - at least until we have puppies.

Gotta sleep. Hope y'all are having a good weekend.

Hi Julie!

Hope you have a wonderful Sunday!

 

[goldcupmom]

Another day begins. Breakfast was decaf & a scone at Church (6) Lunch was 1/2 chicken caesar salad from Costco (4) I just spent 30 min on hands & knees scrubbing my kitchen floor, one square at a time. And I'm only about 1/8 of the way done. Yes, it's a big kitchen, but very devoid of counter/cupboard space. I can easily have my table that is square and seats 12+ open in it with walking room, tho! My knees are going to be killing me by the time I'm done. DH usually does the floor, but his version is using a sponge mop in about 10 min for the whole floor and it doesn't get it clean.

I'm going to alternate Ebay with floor. DH and DS16 are doing Algebra 2 - the 30th is the final day to submit and they are almost on the last test, then a project. DD is napping - she's sick again - allergies & PMS mostly, but she refuses to take anything. Oh well.

More later. I hope to catch up on a few journals today.

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hey Julie, hang in there and good luck with that kitchen floor! I am busy cleaning too, I have a friend coming over tomorrow and I am ashamed of the state of my house! I gotta find some of this flat out bread!

 

[goldcupmom]

I posted and it didn't post. YIKES!!!!

I just noticed. BUMMER and it was long.

Oh well, short summary. No floor cleaning, I'm writing the rest of my reviews to get a free Ipod. DD witnessed a drug deal and school on Friday and she and her friend are asking if they should go to the school police officer.

Other than that, I NEED SLEEP!!!

Tomorrow I have to do the floor and all the ebay I didn't do today.

Have a great week y'all!

 

[Lesli54]

Hope you got some sleep. You really sound exhausted. The incident at school and what is a kid to do is a really tough one these days. You know what the right thing to do is, hopefully your DD will figure out what she is comfortable with doing. I just wish kids didn't have to deal with this stuff.

Hope your day is better today.

 

[pearlieq]

Wow--I can't believe that happened to DD. I hope the school is cooperative and helpful in dealing with it. That's so sad that kids can't even get away from that kind of thing at their schools!

Good luck with the free Ipod! That sounds so cool! I hope you get it soon!

Have a great day, and I hope you find a moment or two for yourself in there!

 

[goldcupmom]

Good Morning,everyone, already!! Happy Monday!

Got DH and DD off and did the WATP 4 mile. Had to force myself, but it is done. And, the scale was up AGAIN!!! UGH!!!!!!

Now I'm having kashi & yogurt (4) and I'm done w/ 32 oz water. DS16 did algebra until about 10 last night and has 33 problems to go. I had rented him a movie and he hasn't had time to watch it, so I just made him breakfast and he's watching his movie before he goes to work and gym.

I have bills to pay, stuff to return to target and some other errands, but I"m hoping to put them off until I take DD to DH for fencing.

Went to Costco after church yesterday and bought a pork loin - this morning when I was looking for baby carrots for lunches I couldn't find either. Still in the van- they didn't bother to look on the seats to unload, just the trunk. DH says it is fine because it is sealed. NOT!!! Raw meat, 94 out yesterday and in the van for almost 20 hours. ICK!!!!! Oh well..... At least the carrots are ok.

Best get busy. More later.....

 

[Amy&Dan]

Julie, I am so sorry about your pork loin! What a bummer. I hope you have a great day today, hang in there!

 

[Lesli54]

Pork loin slowly baked in the car is not my idea of appetizing. I know my DH (being a grocer) would definitely cringe.

Good job at just getting that exercising done. I have such a horrible time with that.

Hope today is a good one.

 

[toystoryduo]

Hi Julie!

Thanks for the words of encouragement in my journal! I really appreciate your kindness.

I hope you have a wonderful day today! Sorry to hear about the pork loin..

 

[eeyore25]

Hi Julie!

Good job on getting that exercise in!!!

Hope you have a great Tuesday. Keep it up!

 

[rcyannacci]

Hey Julie! Thanks for stopping by my journal...I've been a little crazy this week (already), but I'm starting to catch-up. Sounds like you're busy too!

Good luck with the free Ipod. I got an MP3 player for my b-day in May, and am still trying to figure out how to use it!

Hope you have a great week!

 

[goldcupmom]

Yesterday ended up having the other 1/2 of my costco ckn caesar salad for lunch and 6 chips (6). Dinner was cookie dough (3) 2 pizza pockets (3) turkey sand (2) more cookie dough (3) and an apple (1).

I had 64 oz water and 64 oz decaf tea.

This morning I did WATP 3 mi Abs. Breakfast was Kashi & Yogurt.

Tons to get done today and tomorrow and I have dentist tomorrow.

Cyber Academy just called and DS16 has to be there Mon at 8 a.m. "with a lunch" because they decided not to accept his eschool and they want him to be tested. NOT fun as he does not do well on tests like that due to nerves. So, if they decide to move him back, I guess we won't be doing the Cyber School. Fun Fun.

Gotta get things done.....

 

[keenercam]

Hi, Julie! Wow! How amazing you are! Your schedule just wears me out!

I am sorry your son has to go for testing -- DD doesn't do well on tests either and we are really dreading the SAT in October. I'll keep my fingers crossed for your DS.

So, those sugar free mint milanos are good, huh? They were calling my name at the grocery store last week, but I ignored them. I admire your willpower around them!

Good luck with your crazy schedule this week. I hope you get that ipod -- it is the best toy in the whole wide world!
