WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt 20

[mishoe01]

Quiet weekend here.

still struggling with the meds... i've realized I'm using them not only for the muscle spasms but also for anxiety. I don't want to mix meds so... but i don't like it at all.

the worse part is I found out the Zanaflex causes hallucinations. not fun... I've seen bugs and spots in front of my eyes and today I even saw a person. so it's time i get myself off of it.

unfortunately the only real way of getting off of it is to sleep it off. so that's what I've been doing.

Back at ya!!!

 

[HollyTyler]

I (unfortunately) have gained back about 20 of the 30 lbs that I had lost....grr

Monica, it's so easy for that to happen, don't beat yourself up. You're motivated to do so much work on that bike, and that's what matters, so you're doing AWESOME!!!

The Queen Mum says you MUST be VERY good at your job!!!

 

[HollyTyler]

Holly.....don't forget to check your PMs to delete some of them. I deleted mine To/From you.

Oh, I did that right away, thanks.

 

[HollyTyler]

I'll join this club! I lost over 30 pounds back in 2009 but gained virtually all of it back over the next 2 years. So in December I went back to WW and I'm really pleased with the results. For me it's the only plan that makes sense because I can still eat my favorites like KFC and Pizza Hut and Chick-fil-A and not feel guilty. I just limit those to one or two days per week and balance it out with LOTS of fruits and veggies on those days. So far I'm down 11 pounds and it's been pretty easy.

I also bought myself a pedometer and I've been really committed to earning more WW Points by walking every day. Averaged 20+ extra points per week just be paying attention to those steps!

Great job!

 

[HollyTyler]

Wow... that lasted long.. you didn't even get the chance to stay home for a day or so and watch soap operas!!!

Congrats!!!

Yeah, I was actually hoping for 2 days this week of just relaxing and enjoying being unemployed, LOL! I'm super grateful though!

The Queen Mum says you MUST be VERY good at your job!!!

Tell her she's right! Or at least Mike apparently thinks so, which is all that matters! It was supposed to be just Jan starting tomorrow and me in a couple weeks, so I'm not sure what changed, but I'll take it!

 

[HollyTyler]

And now I'm headed to bed early. Exhausted both mentally and physically. Ready for a fresh start in the morning.

 

[JLSE50]

Hugs to all who need them.

Prayers for strength and calm.

Fighting the battle of the bulge myself so with you all on that.

Congrats to Holly. I had been monitoring FB but not seen info so will go check. Is Mike the Energizer Bunny?

Michelle--take care of yourself -- watch those meds.


Jan

 

[JLSE50]

Holly--unless I missed something on your Wall, the info here is needed to figure out the info there. Who is Kathy? And who is the 4th in the Fab Four--you, Jan, Mike and _ _ _?

 

[Tink rules]

Hi Jan!

I'm backing my self off of the muscle relaxant that causes the strange sightings... I'm sure that strange room in my bedroom will go away soon...

Getting ready for the Super Bowl. We're thinking of either pizza or chinese food for the big game. we don't want to be caught cooking.

Hearing we MIGHT get a storm this weekend, but they don't know if it is going to be rain or SNOW!!! Holly...

 

[Tink rules]

Ok...

I'm going through a little bit of empty nest syndrome...

I just messaged Kasey, Brian's gf "Sending hugs... I miss him too..."

and then I started

Hi All!!

to those not singled out

Hi Monica!

 

[katypop]

Thanks Monica! All week, I'd barely get off the phone with one person and then another would be calling, and constant texts with everybody involved. It was CRAZY!!!!! But as you'll see on FB, all worked out!

And since Kathe isn't on FB, I'll share here too: Jan and I start tomorrow with Mike, our boss who was let go from the old firm, and the other attorney under him is already there working. We have no equipment, no computer system (other than a laptop and old desktop Mike has scrounged up to get us started), no dictation equipment, etc., but he's bringing us in tomorrow just so we're not sitting around unemployed. We'll find things to do, I'm sure. SO HAPPY!!!!!!

Holly, great news! You couldn't have asked for a much better outcome than this! I'm so happy for you

We had some real winter weather a couple of days ago, roads were very icy. We are having a very weird winter though. Today it is beautiful, sunny and spring-like. The snow and ice has just about melted. I had a dr's appointment this morning but was able to go for a nice long walk this afternoon.

Hi to all and hugs to all in need Michelle, scary meds Take good care of yourself

 

[katypop]

Has anyone booked anything special for 2013? The only cruises that really interest me are the 12 night to Greece and all...but that won't be happening Way too expensive and then to add airfare as well I did have a dummy date for Dec 2012 that I knew I wouldn't be using though, so for now I've moved it to Sept 2013 Fantasy sailing. Much cheaper and I'd still have the excitement of hurricane season LOL! This might be moved to 2014 but we'll wait a while and see.

 

[Tink rules]

Hi Kathe!!!

there's some interest in the Pc repo and some others in the WBTA, but info on that hasn't come out...

I'm staying home...



Thanks for keeping your bad weather to yourself.. I imagine the people in Montreal are cursing you though...

We haven't had anything - 7 1/2 inches of snow for January and last year we had over 42 by now... I'm going through brownie withdrawal!!!

Hi All!!!

Michelle, get off that med asap. My rheumatologist has me on Norflex. It's a muscle relaxor that is a NON narcotic. It works very well and no weird side effects. Ask for it.

Yeah to Holly and that new job. I'm so glad it worked out fine for you. I know you'll be happier in your new position.

Good going to everyone on WW and/or trying to be more healthy and adding more exercises in their lives. I've been sick and tired for the last month. It started as a sore throat and just went thru every system in my body. I'm finally kicking it and starting to feel better. The cellulitis is going away too, but both legs have the strep throat infection. I'm on antibiotics and soaking them. Hopefully they will get well again sooner rather than later. I need to start getting physical too.
