Almost Friday! Woo hoo!


I caught the cold going around the school and I wish it would pass quickly. I'm hoping this weekend to catch up on sleep and rest.

They have been killing my thighs and chest at the gym this week. I wish I had someone to rub them or at least make me forget I am sore. On the upside the fat will be muscle soon at this rate.

I couldn't sleep because I'm so worried about visitation this weekend. It's been a long time since I've felt this way.

This week has been kind of long. I'm waiting to hear back about making an appointment for a telephone interview for a job in NC. I posted my resume and as soon as I find a position, I'm outta here.  I'm stressed and nervous and excited and sad and happy....and wondering if we are doing the right thing, but overall I think we will have a better quality of life out of nyc. I just wish I could fast forward and land where I'm supposed to be without the whole stressful part.

I am working a long day today. I had been feeling rundown for the last few days and now I'm feeling somewhat better. I'm less rundown lol, but I still have a long day in front of me. I will chill out at a bookstore at the end of the day.

I made a long long list for a job in South Carolina.

It's gonna be a long day but it'll end with a dance exercise class with a friend. I can't dance so it's going to be super amusing.

I used to love the weekends. Now they're so long.

I just bought 16oz freezer containers from Amazon to cook soup this weekend to fill the freezer. It will give me something to do and then I won't have to cook much later.

I haven't cooked or done much in the kitchen since H died. We used to do everything together and I haven't even been able to unload the dishwasher without tears because that's what he did while I cooked our meals. He always helped with the prep, too, and we caught up on our days and just had fun. Life sucks right now and I know it'll get better with time...but right now it's hard.

I ate a whole Snickers bar in like 3 bites. A) Why are they so small now? B) Why am I so hungry this week? FUCK. C) I did not turn into Betty White. Disappointed.

I'm so excited tomorrow's Friday. HOORAY, Friday!

My parents come tonight for 10 days. I'm excited, I enjoy having them here...BUT I'm going to gain like 20 pounds. My mom is a great cook but not the healthiest (and it's SO GOOD i want to eat ALL the food!) and my dad loves cocktail hour, so every night I get home from work, I sit down and it's "here's a glass of wine!" and "here's some cheese and crackers!"
They're fabulous, but my waistline is trying to be smaller, not bigger!

Totally feel you on this! Can you go on family walks afterwards?

I have a cold which seems to be cleaning up now. Which is good because I wanted to head to the city on Saturday and now I feel like I could manage to do that. So I've set up the map and planning out what I want to do.

I haven't posted here in awhile. What's going on with visitation? We're supposed to have supervised visitation Saturday and Sunday. You can pm me if you'd prefer.

lemons *hugs* that must be so hard.

Flaked out on work today and had to miss my therapy session today due to kid drama. Boo!

[verycontrary247]

I've been in a real funk recently. Like, bad enough that I should probably look into getting back on antidepressants.

I realized the other day I've gained pretty much all of the weight I lost (about 2 years ago when my marriage was ending) back and am just disgusted with myself. This leads to a lot of self-loathing, which leads to me eating my feelings, which leads to me feeling even fatter.

I'm just so goddamned tired all the time and I don't know when I'm supposed to be able to exercise. I'm at work for 11 hours M-Thurs, then I've been doing a bunch of overtime on my off days and I'm taking 2 online college classes this semester. Having a really hard time figuring out a balance.

Big hugs lemons. I'm so sorry.

found out today that i became an auntie AGAIN !! my baby sis delivered a happy healthy boy this morning.

then

dd called from school ... some sort of UTI maybe ?!? luckily i was able to get her in and the doc mentioned the D word ... diabetes :/ no one bats an eye at the height (she's 4'5" at 6 w/ 2 6'+ parents go figure) but its her weight that has everyone in a tizzy (myself included) ... no wait and see if she'll grow into it, nope, the D word's been uttered and her food overhaul has begun. anyone have ideas for a diabetic kid friendly lunch that can stay cold absent a refrigerator (their backpacks are kept on hooks OUTSIDE in the blazing east bay sun (for now ... blazing ... 3 months from now, it'll be a different story as i attempt to keep hot foods warm in cold temps lol)

[jigsy]

pinkdutchtulips no help with the diabetes. That is a major bummer, but if it is indeed an issue for her, at least she's going to start making good habits early in life.
As for the lunch situation, I had great luck with a bento box like this Zojirushi SL-JAE14SA Mr. Bento Stainless Steel Lunch Jar, Silver www.amazon.com/dp/B000246GSE/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_27wbwb4QPN4P3

It worked really well with keeping hot foods hot. A little less well on the cold side, but as long as it's not something that needed to stay super cold, it was ok (like ice cream would melt, but pasta salad stayed chilled).

It's not a bad idea...we're trying to get better about walking the dogs every morning/night, so we can all go on a longer walk with the pups. (and i'll be more disciplined to go to the gym in the AM)
