Re: Thursday Morning Roll Call

Well I wasn't here this morning cause I was at the Y doing my water aerobics.. I am NOT doing well food wise.. I start out good for breakfast...and then lunch I just run out of time I will not give up... I will be gone all weekend again...working two of the days.. So that is hard on my food intake too...

Re: Thursday Morning Roll Call

Michelle, I'm sorry! Does your dh know how you feel?

I'm here. I've been so bad lately...large portions, too many nuts, not enough water, not enough exercise, no vitamins, etc. I'm blaming some of it on PMS because I've been famished and lethargic all week. I'm sure that exercising would do wonders. Gotta do it. Just do it!

Great job Scooter! I didn't realize you were such an old thing! LOL! 45 is a great age!

Re: Thursday Morning Roll Call

Good afternoon everyone! Was up with the sun. Vacuumed the pool and cleaned house today. I am still hanging in there. I noticed this time around it doesn't come off so quickly. Must get into exercise routine! I know this will get the rest of the weight off easier. I'm staying on track with my carbs and water intake. Just need to get moving more! Wishing everyone a safe and legal thursday.

Re: Thursday Morning Roll Call

Sorry everyone...I would have responded to this in Michelles' journal except I don't think she has one...so I'm answering it here.

Sorry ahead of time for the VERY long post:

I know why I’m feeling blah.! It’s not the diet. It’s me being mad at hubby for volunteering to coach a college baseball team which is taking many of his hours. He is gone a lot at night. Now, tomorrow he is traveling with the team Fri-Tues for the college world series. I know that sounds selfish of me, but he just got done coaching for 4 teams AT THE SAME TIME for the past 3 years and was gone all the time…granted they were for our kids, but I became a single mom. Even after the baby was born 2 years ago, he coached all the time. So he surprised me 2 weeks ago when he told me that he and the boys were going to take a break from baseball for the summer and fall, and then start back up in Jan...i was so happy when he told me this. Then 4 days later he said his BF asked him to help him with the college team he is coaching, and my husband just can’t say NO>>>>>>>


ARRRGGGHHHH….. so once again I go back to playing single mom with NO BREAK. Hey Michelle...I can so sympathize with this. I was a single mom to both my girls cuz my ex was a workoholic. Its not easy and some days you just want a reprieve. When is it going to be "me" time? Try and hang in there...take it a day at a time and make sure you let your hubby know how you feel...I'm not sure it will change anything but he needs to know.



I just had to vent, cuz these are tough times for me and I really want to cheat for sympathy for myself ( I am a sympathy eater) I have not cheated yet, so I will need some help and encouragement over this long weekend. I'm kinda like that too. I just feel...oh what the heck...whatever....gonna just eat...like that will make me feel better. In the long run we both know it will only make you feel worse, physically and mentally, plus you might put on a few of the pounds you so worked so hard to take off. And, is that going to change the situation...nope...it isn't....so its counter productive...right?



I’M SO MAD AT HIM….cuz he gets to get away for 5 days and travel and have fun…all expenses paid, and I get to stay home a deal with all the kids……I REALLY NEED A BREAK. I hear ya here too g/f.....Its just not fair! Do you have grandparents who might be able to take the kids for the day?



Signed…feeling left out


Maybe i should call:



p.s. Scooter you are right about earning what you eat, exercize can definatly get you that earn point....

Just remember, cheating isn't going to change anything for the better, just for the worse. Its a temporary "comfort". So, don't do it...come on here and post instead and I'm sure someone will be here to listen and respond.

Hang tough g/f...you're strong...

Re: Thursday Morning Roll Call

Hey Michelle,
Don't Cheat! It isn't worth it!
I'm sooo sorry you're a sports widow! That's awful! Wow! All expenses paid? Lucky dog! No wonder he does it! I would too... but their not hiring overweight middle aged women for those jobs! not fair!
Hang in there girlfriend! you can cry on our shoulders anytime... get yourself a journal and we'll have a party!
It's funny, one of the things I love about my husband is that (when I married him) he wasn't into sports... I don't know WHAT happened but our son is like a freak of nature... (winning MVP in various sports, athlete of the year...) absolutely takes over and controls the tv all fall... football, football, football...(he says it's homework! lol!) then basketball... drives me crazy... my husbands' into it now too... so, darn it all! I feel tricked! lol!
Anyways, can't imagine being left alone with the kids all that time! I'd be mad too.
Liz
Well, it could be worse now, at least their around

Re: Thursday Morning Roll Call

Aw, Michelle, it does get tough! I've raised my two kids for the last 11 years on my own. Not so much fun, but just take it a day at a time. Daughter was 2, son was 6. I got to where I never even shut the door to the bathroom, didn't do any good. lol OK until I'd forget at work! Didn't really, but sometimes came close. Maybe you can talk him into just going part of the time. Marriage is a partnership and he needs to hold up his share. Get him in a good mood and talk sweet and maybe that will work.

Exercise is definitely an important key to this WOL. I think the hot summer is getting to us, but we can't let it slide. Keep up the good work, and back on track!
