Grrr & Hi :)

I walked 4 days this week! That's 1-1/4 miles 3 days, 1-1/2 on the fourth. I've been under 1,000 calories most of the week. I haven't lost a SINGLE FREAKIN POUND.



I worked my ass off getting my house clean for this inspection THAT NEVER FREAKIN HAPPENED.



It's been a really ANNOYING week.



Someone tell me why I'm bothering?



Anyways, HI MILLIE :) Welcome to the mix. I am glad you joined, and I hope you'll benefit from us as well.



Time to go sulk and get ready to head to the beach - it's gonna be 9-freakin-5 here today. Luckily, I can go cuz my house is CLEAN! lol



Yeah, we'll see how long THAT lasts.

Welcome Millie

Welcome Millie. I do not do the low carb thing and because of my work schedule I find it hard to fly all the time. That is why we are here though, to support one another and simply do the best we can. We will fail time to time, that is human nature. Feel free to ask Dawn or Pheonix for my yahoo id and we can chat.

As far as housework. I have been seriously slacking. I have been depressed and I don't want to do anything. Too much stress going on in my life. It is a struggle to go to work every day so right now, each day that I do that, I have accomplished something.

Eating has also been another battle. We were doing really well but, for reasons I won't go into here, we started eating out again. Okay, I guess when I think about it, the reason is that I don't feel like cooking at midnight after I get off work. I have been forcing myself to have a bowl of cereal every day though because they say skipping breakfast is bad for you.

I have not lost a single pound. I am right where I started at.

I haven't lost hope though, I know things will get better.

hi :)

i finally joined :) well i can't promise that i will always do low carb or that i will always follow flylady, but i can give lots of support.

from everything that i have seen ya'll are doing great!!

thanks for letting me join :)

Still Kicking

Sorry, sorry, its been way too long since i posted. But, here i am.
Today sucked, my sister is in the hospital, and not being treated the way i wanted. So i was forced to raise hell. So bear with me... its been a rough day.
i had the flying confab with Dawn this morning and got my house back to spic and span. i am really loving those confabs! Nikki, i missed you, though. Its so nice to have friends to keep you motivated. You guys rock!!!
Flying on track!
Then to my new way of eating. UGH. i have had a lousy day here. First of all, the world conspired against me and i didn't get breakfast. Then i planned on having Vsis's leftover breakfast for lunch before going to the hospital. But it got knocked in the floor. Then due to no money and lots of commitments i ended up not having time to eat until about 6:30. And, by then i felt like shit. i didn't get anywhere near the caloric or carb intake i should have at a minimum for today. But, its only one day, i'll get back on track tomorrow.
And, one more fucked up thing... i had become suspicious that my scale is a worthless peice of shit. So i went to one of those weight and fate scales today, and was a little upset to learn that i actually weigh 261. So i don't know if i've actually not lost 30 lbs or if i weighed more than 280 to begin with.
Although my measurements and smaller dress size, still makes me think i'm doing pretty good.
See you ladies in the morning, for a confab.

Here I am again

I think I hear crickets in this place.



Anyways, I went walking again tonight, after doing most of the stuff on my list today :) Made a pretty good dinner, the recipe for which I will post tomorrow. One good thing about walking, it takes my mind off being hungry lol



I did lose 2 lbs, so I be happy. :D Anyways, just checking in.

Good day! I think. LOL

Well, what a long day anyways. Yes, spent this morning with my cohorts, cleaning and what not. Made a pretty good dinner (I LOVED it, they werent' too thrilled with it). I changed it a bit, taking out the cauliflower and adding summer squash. I thought it was awesome. What do men/kids know about veggies ? :)



So anyways, after dinner, my kids were making me pretty crazy so I called a friend and was going to ask if she wanted to go to the movies, and she instead asked if I wanted to go for a walk.



OK, I said.



What a gorgeous night for a walk! We're not sure how long we walked, but we did walk for about an hour. It was really nice, talking & walking. We're going to try to do it as often her schedule permits. I'm psyched :)

Flying High

Okay, so, as everyone knows, I just went through the move from hell. Not only was the packing and moving been rough, but so has the unpacking.

I have to give thanks to my flybaby cohorts for encouraging me and keeping me on track. We spent the day in a three way chat where we would all get up and clean for 15 minutes and then return for our 15 minute breaks. During which we delighted each other with stories about our children, inlaws, and spouses.

For the first time in a very long time, I feel loved and supported as I am. I am overweight and I struggle to keep my house neat and orderly. These are not the usual kinds of problems that people need help with, but I do and I have gotten more done today than I have any single day since we moved in (Just ask Chris, he thinks they are goddesses)

So here is my thank you to both Dawn and Pheonix. Thank you for being my friend and supporting me. Holding my hand and kicking my ass when I need it. I can only hope to give you both half of what you've given me.

Just for the record, I have completed unpacking everything that goes in the living room. I have a few "hot spots" to take care of, but for the most part it's done. The kitchen has been my chore for today and I'm happy to report that thanks to my partners in crime, it should be done by the end of the day. Hey, it's only 11:45am here.
