Topic: RE: difficult days
Cyndi- I hope you are feeling a bit better by now. Maybe you are getting the holiday blues. I know it happens to lots of people. I have been eating terrible lately and am sure that my body will suffer for it. I need to get back on track and eat better and get my walking done. I have been good abou****er and supplements so have not let everything go to pot. What do you say we both vow to try harder and get through this rough patch?

Nancy- I hope you are drying out now from your flood. How horrible for this to happen again. I am sending prayers your way. I hope you can get things back to normal enough to have a nice holiday.

Topic: What a week!!!
I don't know where to start. After my CT scan last week I broke out in a rash all over my torso. Apparently I am allergic to the contrast dye they put in my veins. They had to put me on steroids and I am just now getting some relief from all the itching. I missed work last Wednesday due to the itching. When I went back on Thursday I had so much work piled on my desk it looked like I had been gone a week. I finally caught up with it all today. I have not received any results from my scan as my doc is on vacation until the 28th. I guess if it was bad someone else would call me? I have not been eating that great but managed to lose a pound or 2 this week. I have not done hardly any walking or anything. I need to get back in the groove.
Hope everyone else is doing good and planning on having a nice holiday.

Topic: RE: I?m Worried!!
Thank you guys so much. I'm glad to have you guys to bounce my thoughts/feelings off of.
I keep telling myself to stay positive, one day at time. I think i set the bar too high for myself and make goals that are often unattainable in the time frame I give myself. And when i fail I beat myself up about it. Gosh! I just have to remember to stay positive.
Topic: RE: I?m Worried!!
If you're worried that much about success I have one fantastic piece of advice:
BLOW UP YOUR SCALE!
Size 14 jeans sound pretty damn good. So does the ability to go to the gym and move. Rededicate yourself to the program and tell the demons in your head telling you will fail again that they can go to hades and die a slow death. 
Today is a new day.
Stronger everyday.
