TOV takes the WISH challenge

[toystoryduo]

TOV,
I'm sorry that you have been having a rough time lately. Sending your way for a wonderful and relaxing weekend!

Take care,
Tracy

Your welcome. Hang in there. How is that sweet baby of yours?

Sending your way for a wonderful and relaxing weekend!

It'd only be relaxing if I didn't have to work. Oh well...fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly. Some of us will be wageslaves till we die.

Thanks anyway,Tracy.

wilderness...he's doing fine. Fat and sassy boy he is.

I hear you about the wageslave ....I also was off to work tonight. I work again tomorrow into the middle of the night. So much for a nice weekend! $ really is the root of all evil!

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

I'm on my way! Yesterday I started the Slimfast diet (which I've had modest success with in the past). The only bad thing is I have to have my breakfast shake about 2 hrs before I go into work so that when the sh..er..lactose hits the fan, I'm not at work when I get sick.

TOV, here's wishing you the best of luck that you can meet this challenge without diet pills. I haven't read all of your journal, but you seem to have such a busy life - do you find time for exercise? For me losing weight is primarily about exercising.

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

do you find time for exercise?

Exercise? Um..not really. I'd like to. I have a Denise Austin yoga tape and Richard Simmons' Sweatin to the Oldies I that I love, I just don't have time to do them. Between a 40 hr work week, cooking, housework and tending to my son, I just don't seem to have the time right now. I wish I did. Or if I do find the time, I'm too exhausted to do it. Or I'm too worried about wearing myself out before I have to go in to work and deal with standing on my feet for 8 or so hrs a day. Cop-outs I know, but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.


TOV

 

[wilderness01]

Those are not cop outs. You will exercise when you are good and ready. Give yourself a break really. You have a new baby. That is busy enough yet alone working full time. I certainly wasn't even thinking about watching what I ate yet alone losing weight while I had a newborn and was nursing. I forgot do you nurse? If so that is a calorie burner. Everything will fall in place with time.

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

I tried nursing for about 2 wks but it just wasn't working. I wasn't producing enough milk even with him eating like 10 times a day and me pumping in between. I wanted it to work so badly, but it just didn't and I don't really feel guilty about it any more. I am feeding my son. He's growing and hitting his milestones. Sure, he's a little below average as far as the %'s go but I'm not worried about that. He was teeny when he was born. His pedi's not worried. I'm not worried.

Hi Tov,
I'm so happy that you have found a program that will work around your schedule . I can't imagine trying to do all that you are doing with a very young child. You are really an inspiration .

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

Er...thanks?

TOV

 

[vald1977]

TOV,
All I meant is that I think it's great that you are motivated enough to work on your weight while caring for an infant and working a demanding job. It was supposed to be a compliment .

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

Oh..ok. Er..thanks.

Update for Thurs, June 24, 2004

Today,so far I've managed to kinda sorta blow my diet. Breakfast was a bologna sandwich on wheat bread with lite mayo. Snack was 15 frosted mini-wheats. Lunch..not made it there yet. Probably will be one of my shakes to offset the horrible breakfast and snack. Did manage to get through 3/4th of my "Sweatin to the Oldies I" tape before James got hungry and I had to feed him. Oh well...some exercise is better than none,right?

Well, my parents came over and lunch ended up being chicken fajitas on flour tortillas. Yummy. I figured I'd been a pretty good girl today so I allowed myself a very teenyweeny piece of the fudge cake my mom brought with her. Just a teeny piece though.

Aha...that's what TOV stands for!!

I chatted with you briefly in the WISH chat a few nights ago until the server kicked me out....

I finally made my way here to the WISH board & have started my own journal. It's great to be able to share with everyone.

Keep up the good work!

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

Yeah.It used to be UrsulasDaBomb till that username stopped working last Oct for some wierd reason and we had to get a new ISP for me to even re-register and get this one to work.

I think a little piece of fudge cake now and then is good for the soul!

I hope all is well and your new little one is starting to sleep more. It will get easier in a few months when he's on more of a regular schedule.

Until then, I wouldn't stress too much about your food - just try to make healthy choices for the most part and you'll be fine!

Hope you have a day filled with !

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

Oh believe me with all the rain we've been getting I'd love to see the !
