Ok, I'm too confused. I'm starting a name list. Just copy and paste your name and screen name (try to pick a different color if you can).

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

I've been wrapped up in my winter blahs, ******** about the snow, lack of sunlight, more snow & freezing rain & sleet .

Reality check just happened. I turned on the news & just heard about the tornados in the South. What a tragedy...so devestating for so many people.

Despite the winter weather here I have much to be thankful for...

Hope you are all safe & also counting your blessings!

*******************************************

hey DGs, we're having a snow day! Getting pretty deep over here.
I have a turkey in the oven and my snuggly sox on.

Mr. Scale has decided to at least meet me half way so I'm back at my ticker weight. I feel firmly that my hormones are playing a huge role in this seesaw. I need to 'let go' of the scale and of the mini goals I set - afraid that failing to meet them on schedule will sabotage my eating. Decided I need to approach this WOE on a daily basis...today I'll eat on plan, today I'll exercise, today I'll treat myself well by _____________.

Lisa - I'm thinking about you and your medical situation - I hope you'll be able to have a choice of options.

Cat - I have a bunch of thoughts about that joint account - one is that HALF of it is yours and Tasha's. Just sayin'. And be careful girl.

And Glenda - you're so right - rather have the snow than tornado...everyone take special care.

Spring is coming Spring is Coming Spring is coming Spring is.....

Thanks Catherine, this is an awesome way of looking at this WOE. Because today I became VERY discouraged and almost felt like saying to heck with this but I didn't. I know it works because I have seen others including my doctor be successful at it. I WILL NOT QUIT!

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Good Morning Ladies!!! Just checking in real quick, i know later i will be off the computer we got some stormy weather headed our way. Well i got good news, i have dropped 5lbs of water weight in 2 days thank goodness. I guess cutting out on processed meats and dairy is what i needed.

I have been having some issues lately so please say a prayer for me, i got to make me a doctors appt, and im so scared. I have a cyst on my right ovary, that they wanted to keep an eye on so if it got bigger then they would have to do surgery to remove it. Well i was suppose to go back in 6wks that was in June, i have not been back since, im so scared and now it has been hurting so i know it probally has gotten bigger and im so scared of surgery, but im going to have to break on down and go on to the doctor. I was hoping it would just go away with a period or something. I kind of wonder with all this yo yo dieting and probally with an overload of yeast in my body can this cause cyst as well, i know i read an overload of candida can cause cyst. I know i never had issues like this until i started yo yo dieting. It is amazing how much impact on our health comes from the food we eat. I have been doing so much research in the last couple of years and i was telling my hubby if i could lose weight i could be a nutritionist lol, i just have a hard time sticking to it myself.

Well ladies i hope you all have a blessed day and i will check in later to see how you all have done today.

Hi Lisa and welcome. I understand the fear you may be experiencing but it is VITAL that you go to the doctor and take care of yourself, especially since you are in more pain now. It probably isn't as bad as you think but you won't know unless you go. Those beautiful girls need you to take care of yourself and so does your hubby. Hang in there girl.

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Good afternoon everyone (it's after 12 here). I have to first say that I know I've not been a good Derby Girl (friend) here lately. I've been reading your posts so don't think I have been ignoring any of you. I think the amount of stress I've been under since my Mom got injured is just finally catching up with me. Since then it's been one incident after another. I try not to let it affect me so much but when it comes to things such as my finances (being the single mommy) sometimes it just too much to deal with. Tyler Perry has that movie out called, "Why Did I Get Married?" and I truly am in that mind-set right now. I wish I had never gotten married. I don't know why all of this stuff is surfacing now. We've been separated since my daughter was 4-months-old and divorced since before she turned 1. I think what is irritating the crap out of me is the fact that they're saying I don't have the right to take my name off that account. The account is in good standing right now but that doesn't mean it will stay that way and I refuse to be responsbile for that butt-munch and his mistakes. Ugh!! This too shall pass. Right?

Cat, girl I UNDERSTAND how you feel. Really I do. As much as I love my daughter and thank God for her, I feel so tied down at times. I never wanted to be a single parent but it still happened after 18 years of marriage. I constantly have to pray and ask God to help me not be resentful towards my ex because hey he still has his freedom, a good job, a new girlfriend with a business, home and luxury car to cater to him and life is just grand for him. No I am not jealous of him seeing her because I don't want him but I do get ticked off because I was left with all the responsibility. But I have to keep telling myself God is faithful and has an awesome plan for my life and He does for yours too Cat. Hang in there and stay focused on taking care of yourself. Honey I won't even get on the finances ok. Shopping for me???? What is that???? LOL...... Seriously I do buy myself something every now and then but most of my money goes to taking care of my daughter and yes I do get child support, I had it put in the divorce judgment because God knows I wouldn't see hardly a dime if I depended on home-skillet to send it.

Sorry for so many posts but since you all are my girls, I wanted to share a picture of my little princess with you. Her name is Brittany and she is 5 years old. Definitely momma's baby.
