Wow Beth! What a weekend! Sounds like you had fun though. And quality time with Katie is what really counts, so good for you.

Welcome back to Monday and reality. great job getting to the Y and the workout already. You are a real inspiration to me!

Beth - Glad you have a good weekend!

 

[wilderness01]

Glad your weekend was fun. Get some rest. I sent you a PM.

Well, I made it through today cheat free. I know I will lose my clippie. I have 4 more days to get my weight back to 213.5. It will probably not happen.

I wasn't able to finish journals tonight. I will try to get caught up tomorrow. Tomorrow is the gym, dance lessons, shopping, and cleaning. I am wiped and off to bed.

Take care,
Beth

Ballet for Katie? Dance lessons for little kids are so cute and fun to watch. Have a good day.

Beth,

Good morning! I'm glad to hear that you had a great weekend! I hope that you are able to find some time in your schedule today for you to relax.

Have a great day!

Hi Beth,
I happy to hear that your weekend went well although I can totally understand how it would have been a lot better with some sleep .

Sounds like you have a busy Tuesday ahead. I hope it's a great one !

Hi Beth!

I sure hope you got some restful sleep last night, and that even though today is busy, you'll find some time just for you! I often wish I had a little girl so I could watch her take dance lessons--for some reason, ds9 just won't go for the idea!

Have a lovely day, Beth!

Just wanted to pop in and say 'hi'. Enjoy your busy day!

Hi All,

I have a few minutes before I need to do tyhe next step of dinner.

I have a confession to make. I have weaned myself off my meds. Nurses are the worst patients. The only thing I am currently taking is my iron, vitamin, and fiber. I am feeling much better, too. I wanted to be drug free before my dr's appointment on Friday. I know she will ream me, but it needed to be done.I will consider a standard BCP, but nothing like what I have been on. If it doesn't work, then I will just have to have the surgery. I plan on a full blood panel on Friday.

I am also leaning more towards moving into Phase 3 for awhile. I need to add some things to my diet. I need more variety, and I also need more nutrients. My weight loss is at a standstill again, so I ma as well make a change now. I am still looking at figuring out what will work for me.

Today has been OP, so far. I did make it to the gym, and did 3 miles/45 minutes on the treaddie at an incline of 10. Dance is going great. Katie loves it, and her friend did join her class. She is really making progress. She actually like tap more than ballet, and that surprises me.

That is all for now. I'll hit journals when Katie goes to bed.
Have a good one,
Beth

Hi Beth! I've heard that nurses are the worst patients Just teasing!

I think it is a good idea to add some things to your diet. Especially if you are currently stalled. Sometimes adding in will actually cause weight loss. Our bodies are such a mystery aren't they?

Thank you for all the hugs and support today - it was good to know people were thinking of me while I was down.

Oh Beth, nurses are the worst patients aren't they? It drives my husband and doctor batty that I experiment on myself. Hey we are both good patient (self) advocates right?

Hi all,

I am going to take Katie to preschool, head to the Y for cardio and weights, lunch, Costco, Katie needs a nap (I need to clean the bathrooms), playdate with Katie's friend(combined with dinner), and when Katie is in bed, I'll start working on journals.

Katie and I had a rough night. She has a ragweed allewrgy, and she was really congested last night. She woke uo 4 times. I offered to let her stay home from school, but she flatly refused. I'll let her teacher know, and she can call me to get Katie if needed. I feel like I am dragging my tail today. I will be in bed by 10pm.

All has been quiet on the PG front. I am hoping we can keep it that way.

Have a brillant day,
Beth

Beth, you are always such a busy gal!! I hope you have a wonderful day today, in spite of the hectic pace.

You must be disappointed about losing your clippie, but please try not to worry about it too much. I think the goal should be to make healthy choices with your food and exercise, and you certainly are doing that! I know we get attached to our clipart (I had to give mine up too ) but you are doing so many wonderful things like eating right and exercising a lot - that clippie number doesn't really tell the whole story, does it?

I hope all is well with Won and his job situation. Glad to hear things on the PG front are quiet.

I hope Katie is feeling better soon and that you both find time for a quick nap!

I also want to thank you for all the support you give me in my journal. It truly does help, dear Beth.

 

[Strings]

Note to self: Never let Won pack for me again.

He was trying to be helpful, so last night he got some clothes together for me, and he put them in my dufflebag. They were what I told him I needed. he did a good job, except for one omission. He forgot my bra. Now 10 years ago, this might not be an issue, but it is now. I am a 40G. The twins haven't been out in public without support in a LONG time. Of course I don't realize this until after my workout and I am running late. I didn't have time to run home before I had to pick up Katie. I ended up at school with arms crossed and a very red face. Won owes me BIG!

Have a good one,
Beth

You should write comedy skits because you are funny! Thanks for the laugh.

I am sitting here I was in a car accident tonight. I am fine. It was a fender bender in a parking lot. The woman gave me her info,but didn't want to file a report. No way, she gave me a bad vibe, I called anyway. Well, she calls me screaming at me about not telling her the police were on the way. I guess he went to their place to get her side. Ugh.

To top it off, TOM suddenly arrives. No warning. I should be greatful that I am symptom free, but my MD's appointment is on Friday, and I was supposed to have a pelvic.

I am going to bed. I am sorry to be a downer, but I can't take anymore.
Beth

 

[Tera]

Oh Beth, I'm so sorry. Your having such a tough time. I hope you feel better soon

 

[lulu201]

, Oh geez, Beth, like you needed this! I'm so sorry that you were in an accident, but I'm glad you're not hurt.
I hope that you had some rest and are feeling better about things today.

and for your day, dear Beth.
Erin

I'm back. I am in a better frame of mind. I hate when things like that happen, and then to have this woman screaming at me was just too much. I got a good night's sleep, minus the 3AM wake up from Katie, and I am feeling better.

I've decided that Katiwe needs to go to the doctor today. Her allergy to ragweed is just out of control. The claritan is just not working anymore, and she needs something else. I also need to do a thorough clean of all her bedding and her room. The kid needs sleep.

I've also decided to not cancel my doctor's appointment. I have issues, and I still need an exam, the pelvic can be rescheduled. They won't like it, but too bad.

I will make it to the Y at some point today. The plan is 5 miles on the treaddie with the fat burn program.

Have a great one,
Beth
