Well instead of walking we went shopping but sometimes that is just as hard. I had to find me a bathing suit before today! I found one that I was ok with.. I would've loved to just put on some shorts and shirt though!! lol Dinner was hibachi steak and chicken last night. I ordered extra zuchinnni.. i'm just in the mood for hibachi.. Dont know why!!! I ate a little bit.. took most of it home for today!

Today's plans:

Going to the lake w/ some friends..swim, tan...just have fun.. Not too sure about what we're going to do food wise yet!

I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday weekend!

 

[rcyannacci]

Have a great time at the lake! I have to find a new bathing suit too; trying them on in dept. stores is one of my least fav. activities, so I've been putting it off.

Sorry you're going through some scary health stuff right now. I had a pretty major health scare myself last year, and it's hard trying to negotiate everything from doctors to insurance and still stay positive. But, you are strong and you can do it! And on really stressful days, plan to spend time with people who laugh a lot

Have a great holiday weekend!

but i am proud that this weekend I actually put on a bathing suit.. that's a HUGE accomplishment for me.. the last time I wore a bs was for our 1 yr anniversary cruise and that was maybe for 1 day!! and that was over a year ago!!

hope everyone has a good day

NICE JOB on the bathing suit~!!!!!!!!! Hope it looked awesome. Good for DH to change his eating habits with you.

Keep up the awesome work!

Hi..I am new to your journal and I just wanted to stop in and say HI.

Sounds like you are on the right track....keep up the good work

 

[MayButterfly]

ok yesterday this is what I had:

B-nada (i'll work on that this weekend)
L-Chicken ceaser salad, sweet tea
D-Taco Bell...
only walked 15 min b/c my knee was killing me!!

today so far:
B-you guessed it
L-vegie chili; half a diet coke w/ lime; an iced white chocolate mocha (still drinking on)
D-not sure

my life is surrounded by drama that doesnt even belong to me!!! I know it's stupid but I'm involved...and it's stressful!! Plus my DH's car is Dead!!! the transmission is out so he's looking for another "newer" car for us.. his car was so old and we were basically waiting for it to die!! I mean it sounds like a go kart LOL so hopefully he can find something. we have a hook up at a "buy here, pay here" place so I hope he can get a good deal!! We're probably going to end up donating his car to the national kidney foundation..they dont care if it doesnt run!!

so i'll keep everyone posted (like you're on just sitting on the edge of your seat wondering about the car....)... have a nice weekend

Sorry things are so stressful. I know the feeling. Try using exercise to deal with stress - a walk/jog helps me... I just have to remind myself of that. I also deal with junk that I should just not let it affect me and that isn't healthy. Hope it is a good day today!

Hey, where are you? No posting for a while, hope things are going well. I saw your trip ticker (sometimes its there, sometimes its not? weird), looks like you'll be at WDW the week before I get there. Are you excited?!?!?
Have a good weekend!

Hang in there!

[TigerCheer2009]

Hugs. You can do this! Congrats on the pounds lost!!! Every one is another step towards a weight loss victory! Sorry about the medical problem. Hugs, though.

Am I going to have to do some cheers and pep talks in here?

 

[MayButterfly]

hey tigercheer,
thanks for the response. I may need some pep! I just want to feel normal again....and i dont know when that will be and I hate that! i'm walking tonight though. probably for about an hour. I have to catch up on hte walking program at work!

 

[TigerCheer2009]

I don't know what your medical problem is, but I'm here for you.

Now, for the pep talk.

I know you want to feel normal again, but sometimes you just have to roll with the punches. Just take every day one day at a time...I'm pulling for you!

Best of luck!

 

[Cruise04]

Hope you are having a good weekend and sorry that you haven't yourself. Hopefully you will get back to feeling "normal" as soon as possible.

Keep on
Chris
