Kim's new and improved life journal!

[kimwim8]

Wecome back, Cam! Thanks so much for stopping by! It's always great to hear from you!

First, the good news...I think I'm done my bid for my job. It's a long, stressful application process (essay questions ) but I think I'm done all I can do. I have a few people that are going to peer review it for me tomorrow and then it'll be ready to submit! Then I have to decide if I'm going to bid on anything else as a backup plan, and if so...which ones. whew.

Also, I did well with WW today:

WW points: 22/19 points (3 flex points out of 35 used)
water: 90 ounces

Bad news...my sister left the rehab. I'm extremely disappointed and hurt, but ultimately it's her decision.

On that note, I'm going to bed. Take care all.

Congrats on finishing your work stuff--that's always a great relief

Great work with your WW too--esp. the water. I hope you have a good sleep!

Bad news...my sister left the rehab. I'm extremely disappointed and hurt, but ultimately it's her decision.

Don't you just want to strangle people sometimes? They need to make a Wii game with a special controller designed for virtually strangling people. I think it would relieve loads of stress. You could even upload specific people's pictures! Hmmmm.....
Guess I'd better just keep up the running for my stress relief instead.

Kim for the situation with your sister.... We will keep her in our prayers.

Sending lots of for the job bid.... Hope everything works out with that!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Still no frickin' rum...I've got to get some rum!!

 

[kimwim8]

Jen just left. We always have some good laughs when we're together, and I definitely needed that. I had 1/2 glass of pinot grigio at dinner, but was more into the EATING. Not even gonna think about my points for the day.


Jenn - I like the idea for the Wii game!

Not much else to report on today. I stress-ate. It's almost over. Back on plan tomorrow. (got my new issue of runners world magazine...maybe it'll motivate me )

Nite all!! Thanks so much for stoppin by!!

Congrats on finishing your bid for your job. Glad you and Jen got to have some fun together. I'm sure you are already back on track with WW. You are one of the most disciplined people here!

Hey all! Happy Saturday. I'm super-tired and not feeling great (TOM, unfortunately) so I'll make this short.

I submitted my job bid just now. Yes, it's been done for a day or two, but I've been reading & re-reading it just in case. Tonight I finally let it go and submitted it. What will be, will be. ....and pixie dust never hurts, right?

I'm sorry to let you down, Anna, but this weekend I am probably the anti-discpline. I don't feel well, and I've eaten my way through. But I'll get back to it and hopefully I didn't do too much damage.

I recieved 2 Runners World magazines (I recently subscribed to motivate me) this week, and I think I'm gonna take the hint. As long as it's 40 degrees or higher, I'm running on Monday. No more excuses...it's happening. If I can't do it in the morning, then I'm doing it at lunch. Enough is enough. Oh, and I'm gonna finally do my research and find myself a Garmin (GPS watch) for my runs. I sold my eliptical a few months ago and told myself I'd use that $200 to buy a Garmin, and so far haven't. So it's time, people. WATCH out. (pun intended ) Oh yeah, I'm hysterical tonight.

One last thing that's been on my mind (and I don't think I have any male readers anymore...so I guess it's safe to say). I've decided to have an elective gyn procedure done. It's thermal ablation and it reduces or eliminates TOM bleeding. It's for women who have abnormal TOMs and I definitely fall into that category. It's either live on the pill for another 20 - 25 years or have this done. So I'm ready...just have to have another ultrasound to make sure there's nothing else to explain the issues...and then I'm there. WISH me luck, ladies. It's scary to do any elective surgery, you know?

Ok, I think that's it. Anna, I didn't mean to make light of what you posted. I truly appreciate your very kind words. Some days I don't feel like I deserve to be here on the WISH, so it's nice to know that some people still feel like I kick butt.

Hey Buddy--
First, i hope you are feeling better!! It must be that you are going through jen withdrawal..

Now, you do realize we are having a major rain storm--so you will get washed away if yo ugo out running monday morning--just so you know
Of course elective surgery is scary, but sounds like its for a good reason--you will be fine and if you need anything, let me know

Well, its 830 and ive been up 2 hours (check your PMs) so ill talk to ya later!

 

[traceycooper]

Hi Kim

For the job bid

I could have gone for the same surgery but i wimped out & stuck with the pill & lots of other medication!!!
I'm sure everything will be ok

 

[kmp1191]

Hey kimmy!
Congrats on submitting for your job. Don't stress about it...it's will be yours!!
Also on the surgery...I'd say go for it! I had a previous Gyne recommend a hysterectomy for various reasons....but I chose not to. Everything evened out after a few months...but looking back now....i'm not using the stuff....why suffer anymore??? Go for it girl!! Let me know what you decide!!

Have a great week!! Call if ya need anything!!
marie

 

[goldcupmom]

Glad the bid is done, Kim!

As for the Gyn procedure....do what you feel is right for you. Hard decision, but either way, you'll make it thru!

I'll be praying!

Have a GREAT WEEK!!!! (Back on WW, right??? )

 

[kimwim8]

Yup, back on track today (even though I still don't feel well ). I weighed in this morning and I was down 1/2 pound. Which I'll definitely embrace! I expected a gain after this weekend. (maybe the TOM issues are a blessing in disguise )

DH and I discussed it and I am definitely going forward with the procedure. I have to have the ultrasound done first, and then we can schedule it. Thanks so much, you guys, for the support and encouragement.

 

[kimwim8]

I edited my signature to remove the April run/walk thingy. I am SO frustrated at this point. I honestly have had the desire to run, but either my health or mother nature has not cooperated. So far, 2007 hasn't been great for me, workout wise. I honestly loathe the treadmill and can't bring myself to get on it. Maybe after I eat my LC dinner, I'll see whats on OnDemand and do something. I've got the blahs and need to snap out of it!!!

 

[kmp1191]

hang in there kimmy!
I know how ya feel...i'm not in the mood to workout either...I know I'll feel better afterward, but getting up and doing it is another matter!
Glad your DH is on board w/ the procedure....let us know when the ultrasound is and everything else.

call if ya need anything!
