So very tired and really struggling with my eating program. Emotional eating has been a big downfall. Lots of emotional turmoil this last week. ... more

About Me
I have been packing around some extra weight for quite a few years but have been steadily putting on more the last few years. I really want to get to a healthy weight, learn to maintain it, and develop different coping strategies. I want to have energy and feel great about being me.

Hi! I know exactly what you mean. I had a hard time getting into a new routine... I always do. Working a lot of hours, homework for the boys, basketball, housework, and life are busy enough. When you get used to a routine it will get easier and you will find your motivation again. I am glad that I took a break, but I was up almost 10 pounds from the summer. I am back on track and hope to get back to my summer weight by Jan.
Survivor is starting to get interesting again. There are a lot of mean things and personal attacks happening that I don't care for, but it is entertaining. I would love to make another tape, but finding the time is another problem. Hang in there!

How are you? I am back to WLW... I have been absent for awhile and lost my motivation, but I think it is getting better.
Survivor???? There are some individuals that I really think are mean! They are not the most entertaining group either. I think that if they were not mean they wouldn't have anything to say. Kinda boring this season. They are calling each other names and being unbelievable to each other. I miss the sandy beaches and beautiful ocean views.
Weather in Wisconsin is crazy this time of year! How is it out in your neck of the woods?

Hiya, Sugar! Welcome back to the wars! I've been struggling SO MUCH. But it's a daily push to make things better. GOD IS FOR ME! For US! That makes it a little easier to handle.
I missed you so much! I'm crossing my fingers that your work situation gets easier, sweetness. I hate the idea of you feeling frustrated for the majority of the day. Stinky! And with frustrations like that, even time away from work is tainted. Grr. Maybe your prayers for her blessings will enable her to get a better job - AWAY FROM YOU!
I'll be around more this week. I've got to be more accountable!

Lori! How are you??? I have MIA for awhile here. I lost motivation and time and I think I am ready to start again. I am up a few pounds and really need a kick in the behind to get moving. *What do you think of Survivor??? I find it a bit boring... I think they need to make some new twists to make it more interesting. Oh well... I hope all is well with you. I need some serious motivation so I am going to go see what is up in "Adventures".

Miiiiiisssing yooooou, is easy 'cause you're beeeeyouuuuteefulll. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Lori bean, where you bean? I miss you madly. Your humor, your encouragement, your ability to cut through my crap and say it straight. And your pretty picture on my profile! Come send me a little message, little lady. I miss you.

Mornin' Lori! It's been a while since I heard from you, so I thought it was time to do a quick check-up! I read that you are very busy these days, and tired from dealing with all those little tykes! Aren't you glad you were able to lose almost 50 pounds before you had to start? You would have been much more tired!
Well, it's a new week. I have renewed motivation to keep on trying to get off about 14 more pounds before Christmas comes. I'm going to start running again today (since we don't have snow yet!), and back to the weights tomorrow. I hope you can fit in a workout today, to take some time out for you. Let's get back in the game!
Have a great week, Lori! This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice in it!
P.s.: How are your nails? Did you have to have them filled yet? (I'm hoping to get some soon!)

What's up, Lori bean?! Are things going better for you at work? I hope so! And not to nudge TOO hard, but you haven't posted a weight in over a month. Are things going okay and you're just avoiding the scale?
So I got another David Baldacci book, and on my way out of the library, saw a Lee Child book, and had to head back to check it out! I'm in the middle of about five other books, so just need to get through a few of those before I start a new one. Really excited to, though!
Hugs to you! Hope work is treating you well, hope YOU'RE treating you well, and I hope you have dreams of clamming to look forward to while it's this cold!
