Great job on your workout Marie (and in 100+ degree heat! ) and great job on "adjusting" P's attitude at work. Hope today is a wonderful day for you!

Hey guys~made it through another day.
DD is grounded for a month. I'm done with it. No more. From now on, every time she whines, argues, or backtalks, another day is added. She may never leave her room again!

Work was ok. I have one of the girls "H" saying frick now! Anything to clean it up is a plus!

Food-
B-fiber bar
L-chicken caesar wrap from McCalister & a sweet tea...
D-small plate of leftover chicken pot pie.
Water-40 ish oz...
Exercise-1 mile at 5:30 am...1 mile at 6:00 pm (thanks gunner!) Ok...so no real workout today...yesterday literally kicked my butt!!

ok...off to laundry
happy friday!!

Hi Marie,

You Rock woman. Not only do you do a killer workout, but you put P in her place. I am sure that things will be better at work.

I hope your tush is feeling better by tomorrow.

Have a good evening,
Beth

Marie,

My DDs are having some whining/complaining/not listening issues too. Must be something in the air.

You're doing great with your workouts and your eating! Keep up the good work!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Food -
B-fiber bar
L-other half of yesterdays chicken caesar wrap
D-smoked turkey w/ cheese & tomato....not sure if I'm going to have it in sandwich form, or wrap form....
Water- 68oz
Exercise-3.1 mile walk w/ DH....again....all uphill!!!
I wish I could take a picture of the trail we're walking now....my gosh....one of the hills is STRAIGHT UP!!! My calves and thighs are killing me by the time we get to the top!!! (and it is at about the 1/2 way point!)BUT....it is so worth it!!! I love the time w/ DH again, and the hills really work out all the stress of the day!!

Work was good today....nothing major...had a storm and the power went out for about 30 min....nice break.

Ok....gonna go make dinner....have a great weekend!!
reeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[MIdanceMom]

Hey Marie,

I am so glad that you get to enjoy your walks with DH again. Together time is so important. Great job on the hills btw.

Have a great weekend.
Beth

im going to come over and work out with you!! dont you want me to come walking

Sounds lke thngs are going pretty well for you Coming to Jersey anytme soon!?

 

[kimwim8]

WOW, girl. You're walking 5K's!! And uphill ones at that!

Don't be fooled by my crunches....It takes me a WHILE to do them.

When are you weighing in again? I bet you're down a couple pounds already.

Have a GREAT weekend, girl.

 

[kmp1191]

Not in a good mood today guys...
The house was supposed to be shown today at 11. The woman never called my agent back, and didn't answer when my agent called her. I don't know what I"m going to do. I'm not going to whine or complain....but I am worried. $$$ is running out....quickly.

I honestly think...if it weren't raining right now....I would go for a walk and keep going.

 

[kimwim8]

I know it's hard, but stay strong, girl. We're here for you...and you're certainly entitled to whining if you'd like.

 

[toystoryduo]

Marie,

Prayers and on the way......

 

[MIdanceMom]

Marie,

Whining is definately allowed. In fact, I excel at it. Seriously, Marie, this is a safe place to come for support. I will continue to say some prayers and pixie dust for the house.

Take care of yourself,
Beth

 

[lindalinda]

I cant find the pixie dust smilie.

I guess I'll give you some good vibes instead.

I'm sorry you got bad news, but today is not any different than yesterday...just keep on going. Didnt you say renting was an option at one time? Is that still a possibility? I know thats a pain, but I have heard that some are renting now because its hard to get the loans they want. So maybe if you offered a rent with an option? I rented once and the seller offered to show a portion of the rent as downpayment ( I am sure the price was adjusted for this) , then at the end of the year, we could show a down payment and get financing. Something like that might help. Sorry if I am telling you stuff you have already thought of, but I am not sure a realtor would help with this stuff.


You are doing really great on your exercise! I wish I had your commitment right now!

Oh, and I didnt win the lottery. Drat.

 

[kmp1191]

Thanks for the support guys...I appreciate it. I hate being a downer, but there's alot on my mind right now.

Anyway, DH and I worked out again tonight...3.1 miles in 42 minutes, then the gym. I did pretty much the same weight routine as before, but kicked up the crunches. Only made it to 45 before I wanted to cry. Crunches suck!!
Food wasn't bad...skipped b-fast b-cuz I was running late for church....lunch was a bagel and dinner was a hot dog. woohoo. oh..water....20 oz.

Oh, and DD had another 5 days added to her grounding! She might be paroled around Sept 27....maybe!! I told her to clean up her room...been telling her for 5 days now...today she says, "No! I'm not going to EVER!!" I smiled and said "Fine, I'll get the garbage bag and clean it up myself." Then she screams "I hate you mommy!!" To which I replied with my hand on her @$$! I later told her that she can hate me all she wants, I'm still her mother and I love her, and I will win the war! Guess what....she went and cleaned her room around 5 pm! (Her brother actually helped her....a little!)

Ok...I'm tired, I'm depressed and my head is hurting...nothing like a little stress to kick off a good migraine!!

nite ya'll!

Marie,

I'm sorry to hear about the stress with the house and the situation with your DD. Sending lots of your way.

I think you are doing a great job with your workouts! Don't forget a good workout in the gym (or outside) can help alleviate stress. You're doing great, Marie!

I hope your Monday is a good one.

 

[lindalinda]

Hang in there marie. I think there was a full moon or something making us all kinda blah. (maybe your DD also).

I had a full blown throw-down with my son last nite, but we are both ok now. I seriously think it happens sometimes in cycles. So maybe we are headed into a good cycle now.

Maybe I'll win the next lottery. I had to move all my retirement money into the "holy crap I'm scared s---less fund" I am too close to retirement to lose it all now!

Its still 100 here, has it cooled off there now? I dont see how you are walking up hills in this heat. Be careful of shin splints too, I got those last year from running up hills, so watch out, they hurt!

nite

 

[kimwim8]

Hey girl. Hope you're doing better today.

And if not...this always helps...

 

[kmp1191]

Doin' ok today guys. DD is grounded until Oct 5...she is actually trying to earn back some privilages (or however you spell it!)
A little emotional today....can't imagine why.
Talked to mom & dad today. My uncle isn't doing good. (cancer.....all over) I'm thinking of driving up (Illinois) this weekend. My new boss already told me I could have Friday off....we'll see what happens. I'd rather go now and see him than go to his funeral.

On a happier note...today is DS 12th birthday!! I have a preteen!!! My dad said he was twelveteen!!! Clayton loved it!! I got him a skateboard....god help me!! And we took him and a buddy of his out for pizza tonight. They had a really good time!! His buddy is a skateboarder too and he said he'd help him get used to it. (in return, he wants to learn photography!!!)

Oh, and I have a meeting w/ DD's teacher in the morning. go figure.

No workout yesterday or today...been raining (thank goodness!) I could have used the powerwalk today...it's always good for my mood. Maybe tomorrow.

Have a good evening and I'll check back soon!

Hi guys.
The kids and I are leaving tomorrow after work. The plan is to go pick up Sis in Huntsville, then hit the road to Illinois. 4 day weekend, and my uncle isn't doing too good. After talking to my dad, we decided to go visit him....instead of going for the funeral. I'd much rather visit with him now.
On a good note, I'm glad to be going home to see mom & dad...and all of us (all sisters & mom & dad) will be home at the same time....that hasn't happened in a LONNNNNNG time!!

ok...gotta go pack!!
ree

 

[MIdanceMom]

Marie.

for your son.

You have every right to be emotional. I am so sorry that things are so rough right now with DD. It sucks that being a parent means laying down the law sometimes. You can't always be a friend or nice guy. Eventually, she'll figure that out. How did the meeting with the teacher go?

I'm sending your way.
Beth
