    Re: Tuesday Roll Call July 17th

    Afternoon to everyone coming in late this day!

    It's a beautiful day today here in the sunny south.

    Today is my last day at work, and then I'm getting my house ready to move 700 miles away. Oh lordy, not looking forward to it. Just hoping I can stick with this WOE through it all, and maintain my exercise.

    I know what you mean Sandy and Tack, sometimes we need to look after just ourselves... for at least a few hours anyway.

    TMN, hope you're feeling good today after the Dr. visit.

    Liz, so happy for you girl! Isn't that how it always happens? Just when it looks hopeless...

    Hope you all are having a great day.

      Re: Tuesday Roll Call July 17th

      hello really late checking in today. i had a drs. appointment today for annual pap.(yuck!!!!!!) so a bit late getting to my computer today. i totally know what you are talking about as far as women not taking care of themselves. between hubby, animals, my mom being away for the winter, (she's a snowbird, flies to florida for winter. so i have to take care of her cat and house when she's away.) and work i totally let myself go. stopped caring about what i eat and how i looked and gained 50 lbs over winter and spring oh yeah and part of the summer too. not only did i gain weight, but i've been off work for 3 months because of health problems that after many test this summer seemed to show that my problems may be all stress related.

      so starting this week i have decided to try to find a yoga/pilates class and not only use that as another form of exercise, but maybe also have something to help relieve some of my stress and see if that aliviates some of my symptoms. so that taking care of yourself thing makes so much sense to me today, as it really kind of hit home with me on my dr's visit today even before i had read today's posts.

      great post today, hope everyone has a beautiful day.

        Oh moniegail,
        that must be so frustrating! I'm so glad you're doing atkins with us and that you found out it is stress related. Now you know what to do....(say no) which is soooo hard. Put yourself back in #1 priority... everone and everything tells us to put everyone else first... which is okay if you're a criminal or something... but being a normal mom, daughter, woman... we're so susceptible to guilt... and forget to nurture ourselves. Hang in there kiddo!

          Posting again for the second time.. I did go to water aerobics and it felt great

          To the person asking about Transformers..I saw it on Friday and I enjoyed it.. Its a bit long.. 2 hours and 24 minutes.. There are a LOT of funny parts and a lot of action...

          I didn't really want to see it but since I went on a "date"..lol with my 17 year old son that is what I ended up seeing

            Summer....Ab crunches! Yuck I hate'em but the only way I will do them is on an exercise ball because it gives you great back support and a better range of motion. I just started using my Total Gym again today and I forgot how much I enjoyed getting in my weight bearing exercise using it. They have come out with this new thing I saw on TV, you have probably seen it too but it is a little exercise ball that fits in the small of your back and you do crunches that way. I don't know about anyone else but it looks darn uncomfortable!

            Sandy...glad you liked the movie. I think I will take my daughter to see that one this Saturday unless something better comes along that she wants to see.

            Hey Mickkey, Hopejoy and Sweet I missed you guys the first time around this morning. Hope you are having a great day! See you tomorrow.

                i am also checking in late...it's 9:30 p.m. here on the north shore in minnesota...i am sitting on my patio looking at lake superior...the sunset this evening was gorgeous...i like your theme today, sandy...taking care of my self used to be more difficult than it is now...the first time i did atkins, i made a conscious decision to be selfish and take care of me. i did...and the results were fantastic! not only did i lose 70 pounds, i trained for and ran the 2004 chicago marathon...over the past three years, i've lost this passion for self care and today i had another a-ha! moment and realized that the more selfish i am, the more of my real self is actually available for others...i am feeling really good and strong on this woe. thanks for a great topic, sandy!

                    Thanks.. I know those of us that have children and are stay at home moms its hard to find someone to watch the kids to take care of ourselves.. I know that when my kids were little I couldn't afford to go to the gym and pay a babysitter... So I neglected myself a lot.. But as my kids have gotten older I am like.. Who is going to take care of me now that I am falling apart... So now my goal is to get healthy so I can be a good grandma one day

                      Thats what I am doing Sandy, stay at home moms are some of the hardest working , unselfish people that I know. When I stayed home with my kids I worked a LOT harder than I do now.

                          I whole heartedly agree. I have been a stay at home mom for 24 years. My oldest daughter is 24, my youngest is 17 (well close to 18 ).

                          So, my real "mom" days are over as one is out on her own and the other is pretty independent. You never really are done your "mom job" though...

                          Now I guess its time to focus on me and I'm doing my best, but old habits die hard.
