Hey AP!!! :)
Well the cold front is coming in right now. We are not getting hit as bad as Corpus Christi is. All the deer were out earlier before dark. They are starting to bed up against the brush line. There are two yearlings (babies who have lost their spots) in this group. I am wating to hear how Lisa's talk went with dd and SIL tonight. I feel so bad for her.
I ate healthy again tonight and in good portions. The scale says I have gained 2.5lbs but that could be all the water I drank today. I should go back to just weighing once a week. BBL-Roni

hey everyone...just taking a minute to say hi!! we have been watching sports all day!! usc won..yeah!!
now ucla game is on and we have flipped back and forth with the WS but dont care that much about it!
DD team tied today 3-3 they really should have won, the other team had a couple of luck goals..oh well..they are currently in 3rd place in their division and i guess the top 4 team go to playoffs so we will see.....
i wasnt perfect today but i just tried to be good with what i did have...B- was cereal L- everyone had grilled hamburgers but i had a grilled veg burger. they had chips and dip...i had some wow chips and some dip (lite sour cream!) dinner was pizza..i got two pcs and shared with my dog...she helps me not eat as much!!
i was frustrated this morning because i got on the scale and it was 1 up from yesterday!! i know i havent had more than 11-1200 cal in one day this week....i am at the same weight basically that i was 1 month ago!! i really dont know what to do?? i am still plugging along but i get to the point where i keep telling myself..well i could just eat reg. and stay the same...why do i want to cut cals and stay the same...sigh!! i know i need more water and more exercise so i guess i will try t work on it that way and see what happens...food wise i think i am fine...
hi teashel!! :) glad you are back...when will you come back all the way ;)
houdini - hope you have (had) a great time at your party!!

Hi Everyone,
I hope you all are doing well!!! :) I have been pretty busy this last week, Social services dropped off 6 kids.(had them for 8 days) OMG I am exhausted. 3 off them went home today, and 3 are here to stay at least for 8 months, plus my ds makes 4 kids. Ages 13,11,6,3..I had to shop for clothing for 2 of them, they came with nothing not even a toothbrush, so my mastercard has some smoke coming out of it!! LOL
I will check back later, Have a great night everyone!

Hey guys :)
AP, I am so sorry you are depressed. What's going on? Is it the AFO's? The diet? Both? I am so sorry girlie. I know when you are stuck in a rut it is hard to get out of it. I was amazed that Friday morning I was back down that lb I gained during the week, but after my little trip I'm sure it's back plus some. Funny thing is I was NOT in the mood for chocolate!! How weird is that?? But we did eat out a couple times, pizza hut and a restaurant called Red Robin's. SO I know I prob gained like 3 lbs. Work in progress I guess. I see you posted that you are going to work on a new plan that you can stick with?? I really hope it works for you :) So what's going on with the AFO's? Seemed like you were doing good with them? Well let me know what I can do to help. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/heart.gif ya AP!!
Hi Snoopy!! I've read where people have been on 3 month plateaus!!! Can you imagine? I can't!! The only thing I can think of to kick it in high gear is to shock your body with something!!
Hey Lisa :) Hmmmm, don't know what to say about your situation, but I hope your hubby let's your SIL have it!! I hope he tells him that as long as he is under his roof that he will show respect for everyone living there, especially YOU!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, boys make me angry!! ;)
I hope Houdini is having a great time at her party :D.
I am so glad we get to move our clocks behind one hour tonight. WELL, I'm not glad that it will get darker earlier....but maybe this extra hour will help me get up a little wee bit earlier to get in a better work out than I have been getting!!
Ok, well I rambled on enough...
I'll be on lots tomorrow!!

Beanie, YOU are definitely one amazing woman!!! I don't know how you do it!! How does your son feel when 'new' kids get dropped off? I'm sure he's used to it by now. I think you are doing a wonderful thing. It truly takes a special kind of person to do what you do!! ;)

Hi Teaberry,
My DS has had some difficult times with it, especially when kids come and go, sometimes they leave here helping themselves to some of my sons belongings. :mad: but generally he bonds quickly with the kids. I feel so comitted to Fostering because I was a foster kid that people gave up on! The person that change my life was my foster mom! She realized that I had been so badly abused that it was time and love that I needed to come around. That is what I am trying to do with these kids> I am in big trouble, my little guy has a visit with his mom tomorrow and I got him a hair cut, that is a big :nono: but he is 3 years old and had hair past his shoulders, he looked like a girl!!!The social worker did give me permission, but apparently his parents are very unruly and will look at this as I am trying to take their son away from them! He is so excited with his new haircut, I bought him some gel and a comb, while he had to sleep with it under his pillow!!!

AP.....I know you are depressed about your weight and the AFOs. I am very depressed about my weight too. I have been very patient with how slowly it has been going. Yes...it is sad one day you have lost some lbs and the next thing you know you have gained some of it back. At times you just want to just give up and eat whatever comforts you.(I have done that) I know how it feels to fight something you have no control over(thyroid) and having to get used to the AFOs doesn't help either. If this cla ends up not working I think I am going to my dr and telling him we need to do something about my weight because it is affecting my happiness towards myself. You have there for me so much in the past and I want to do the same for you. There have been times I just don't want to leave the house because I feel so big. I am embarrassed by my weight. I used to be so skinny(5'7")(127lbs) now here I am at around 160lbs. AF last day is today so I know the recent gain was cause of her. I want to so badly get back to 127. I would be happy if I could just get down to 140 and work myself down to 130. These lbs are so stubborn. It's sad when you try so hard and you see no results. I have been there and still am there. There have been times I have cried to myself because I cannot lose my weight. AP....you know you can cry on my shoulder gf. And so can the rest of you all. There is light at the end of this long tunnel for all of us. I will not give up trying and I hope none of you do either. You all are like family and I love you all so much. (((((((((((AP))))))))) it will get better for you. I know it. - http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/heart.gif-Roni

Oh, has anyone ever tried that Sacred Heart Diet? AP...you ever heard of it. Someone brought it up on here a while back and I looked it up. Sounds kinda interesting. I am thinking of trying it for 7 days. I dunno.
