Marie's New Years Resolution~in July

[kimwim8]

Hey Marie...I'm SO glad you're doing well with this. I know it's hard to not be with your mom right now, but your positive attitude is WONDERFUL!!

Sorry I wasn't around yesterday...had to fly to DC for work and back and then had MIL's retirement dinner. Yesterday is a complete blur!!

Keep those spirits up, woman!

Hey All!!

I just received an email from Marie. She's working right now (and can't DIS) and has a photo shoot tonight...so she asked me to post an update regarding her mom!

_______________
MARGINS ARE CLEAR!!!!!!
They like to have a 1 cm radius of clear margins, but mom has 1/2 cm radius, so they are going to schedule radiation and chemo....just as a precaution....BUT NO MORE SURGERY!!!!!!!

She just called me....giggling like a 7 yr old!!!
Damn, I'm in a good mood now!!!

have a great day!!!
marie

GREAT NEWS, HUH???

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

GREAT news, Marie!! I am so glad to hear that things are going well for your mom!

I loved your scrapbook pages! I am SO glad you got to spend the weekend relaxing and taking care of yourself and spending time with your family!

Stress eating.... hmmm... I'm right there with you. What's a girl to do?

I love the mushroom quote!

Take care! I'll try to get back sooner rather than later this time!

 

[lovinaz]

What a relief about your mom. Hopefully she will be on the lowest dosage of chemo and radiation so she can get through that without any nasty side effects!

Hi gang!!
Yeah, we're pretty happy with the results!! Thanks Kim for helping me out...AGAIN!!! I talked to her this evening and she sounded pretty tired. She's doing a little bit too much and isn't taking it easy like she should. She'll figure it out pretty soon!!

Ok...so things around here are going good. DH is running every night. DD & DS are both doing good at soccer....I'm upset because I"m going to miss the first two games for both of them. Photo shoot this weekend and out of town next weekend.
I've been doing LOUSY on the diet!! I ate a burrito as big as my thigh today for lunch!! It was HUGE, and I ate EVERY bite!!!! Yeah, no wonder my 12's are getting tight!! I'm not worried about it right now. I'm going to go back to cutting back on my portions and get back into walking EVERY night. Other than that, I'm not going to stress out over it....life is too short to stress all the time! I'm going to pick and choose my stress factors...and right now...I refuse to stress about ANYTHING!!!

Ok...gotta go take care of Vader & Princess, and Gunner and Tortie!!!

g-night all, and THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PRAYERS AND PD...I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!

ok...enough mushy.
g-night!
marie

I wonder if a burrito as big as your thigh is as big as a burrito as big as my thigh. Probably not!

You'll get back on track as soon as everything slows down a bit. Don't worry, be happy!

 

[lovinaz]

After saying you did so bad in my journal I was expecting to see that you'd eaten an entire cheesecake with no fork then washed it down with a couple Krispy Kremes and a pitcher of sweet tea! I'm so disappointed to learn it was just a mongo burrito...

It's great that you are going to get back into walking and portion control. That makes a big difference!

Bummer about the soccer games, can DH record them for you?

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

Hmmm... Burritto the size of my thigh....that sounds familiar.... That is what I had for dinner last night! But I one upped you and washed mine down with 3 chocolate chip cookies! Oh, well, we'll get back on track one of these days.

Hi Marie-
I think you are right about not stressing about the food/weight right now.

Have a great weekend

 

[CJK]

I agree with you and everyone else. Do not worry about your eating right now with all that is going on. I have no doubt that you'll get back on track when things settle down.

Burrito as big as your thigh huh? Is it wrong that I felt a little jealous?

Hope you're having a good weekend!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey lady. Hope you're having a good weekend. Check in when you can!

 

[CACruisin']

That is wonderful news about your mom!!

You know what it takes to get back on track, and you'll do so when the time is right. For now, just focus on your family.

I hope your photo shoot went well and you got some time to relax a bit too.

 

[kmp1191]

ok, so here it is, Monday night....9:54 pm.
DH is in bed. Kids are in bed. Gunner is asleep next to my chair. Turtles are asleep...I think...unless the cat is in there tapping on their tank again...
I'll catch you up w/ my weekend.
Friday night- 4 hour wedding coverage, wore heels...feet went numb, shot over 400 photos. Ate 2 pinwheels things, 2 carrots and 1 piece of cake.
Saturday- woke at 6:15 am, showered and left at 7...had sports photo shoot from 7:30 til 4:00. It was 93 degrees and I wore jeans. I also drank 100 oz of water, so I held up pretty good. Shot 80-90 soccer teams...8-12 kids per team....you do the math...divide it by 2 because we had 2 people shooting...needless to say, it was an EXHAUSTING day!! 3 people got sent home early due to heat problems....of course, they weren't drinking enough water either....they were drinking cokes, or diet cokes.
ate 1 pb&j sandwich, 1 cube of cheese, 100 oz of water, (i don't remember eating dinner...I'm sure I did....but don't know what it was...)
Sunday-woke up. ate 1 breakfast burrito (i made them!), tcby Shiver.
Monday-went to work. shopped on e-bay...can't dis, but we can e-bay....go figure. ate 1 bowl frosted flakes, 1 sonic cheeseburger w/ tator tots and lg sweet tea, dinner was speghetti & garlic bread.

Ok...I also weighed myself this morning. I'm so ashamed, but I have to be accountable, right??!! ok...sit down...it's not pretty. .................
164
I've succeeded in gaining every pound back....in a matter of what....2 weeks??? WTH was I thinking?? I don't want to be this heavy. I can't stand the way I feel! My breasts feel like they are gonna pop and it's not TOM!! My pants are snug, and so are my tops. I hate the way I feel...which is incredibly lazy and sluggish. I'm very snappy...at everyone! I've gone back to wearing my xtra large tops, untucked, so if i have to , i can undo my pants at my desk....GAWD...I feel like Al Bundy!!!

So, now that I have successfully grossed you all out....I guess I'm officially back on track. I will follow the AMBER CHALLENGE guidelines, and I will get back to walking and running...and doing situps and pushups. I will also start following my resolution...it's about darn time, isn't it??!!

Ok...thanks for hanging with me and getting me through my mom's illness, but now it's time for Marie again...time to get my fat @$$ back in gear. I want to weigh 135-140 by my birthday....March 8....and if i can't do it the right way, well, then we'll discuss liposuction, but we have to try first!!

25-30 pounds in 6 months....wow....that's alot....BUT WITH YA'LL'S HELP I CAN DO IT. (is ya'll's a word? down here I bet it is!!)
So, tomorrow is a new day...rain or shine, it's MY day.

From now on, IT'S ALL ABOUT ME!!!
(my daughter took my Desert Frist book...I have nothing profound to say now.)

later tots,
marie

Good for you, you deserve to put yourself first for a change! Sorry to hear about the gain, it's so much easier to pack it on than it is to take off, isn't it?

We are here for you, you can get those lbs back off! It took my a while to get the visual of you undoing your pants at your desk out of my head, be expecting my therapy bill in the mail soon...

Hey, at least I don't tuck my hand in the front of my pants!!!! (at least not most of the time!!!)

[lindalinda]

25 lbs in 6 months is a piece of cake! You can do it easy!

(I am ignoring the whole pants issue)

 

[CACruisin']

Yea, Marie!!! Yes, you can lose the weight by your birthday!! I want to be 143 by my birthday on March 1st. I was 167 most of last week, but 170 today . New day, new week. We are going to do this together.

 

[kimwim8]

Hey Marie...YOU GO GIRL!!

ABSO-freakin-LUTELY you can do it! What is the Amber Challenge, btw?

I don't know how the weather works down where you are, but up here it's finally starting to cool down a little bit and it's MUCH easier to get outside to run or walk.

Good luck with everything. I'm here for ya. WE'RE here for ya!

BRAVO!!! It's time to get rid of Al bundy and get back to Marie!! Your goal is definitely feasible and remember, we're ALL in this together!!!!!! Go Marie!!!!
