Just checking to see how you all are doing. Things for me are so so. I've been dealing with awful stomach cramps for two days now. I'm thinking I have a stomach virus *going around work* I'm hoping it just hurries up and runs its course. On the food side of things, I dug out my old WW booklets with a slide scale to figure out points. I'm doing the flex points this week to see if I can figure out someway to become more accountable for the foods I'm eating. If I don't like the flex points results by Monday, I'm going to try the Core plan. Almost three days without junk food and you know something, I haven't been hugry for it. I hope all is well with you all!

I'm SOOOOOO sorry I've been so slack, it's been two crappy weeks around here! First the baby gets a massive virus, I've never seen such a teensy person throw up so much, we're talking her body weight, at least. Then, you guessed it, the one that cleaned up all that puke gets it! It was vicious. Then we went to Cedar Point (an awesome amusement park on Lake Erie) to celebrate my hubby's college graduation and I got vertigo! FOR 3 DAYS! I would have rather had the virus again, it was horrible! So then hubby leaves for the other end of the country for 6 weeks, training for his job, and I'm here alone with all 3 kiddos! So I've lost about 5 lbs, not sure if it was the virus or what, but I'll take it. I'm still eating crap, but I've stopped baking and I'm cutting back slowly. This coming weekend is family reunion weekend, so I'm sure I'll put back all 5 lbs, but it'll be from "real" food, not crap, so not too bad.... Hope you're having a great day! Rebecca

Rebecca, It sounds like you've got alot going on right now! Sorry your baby was sick and you got sick too With your vertigo experience...wow I get that too when I go to an amusement park..I wonder if we are more sensitive to that also? So are you going to be getting any help with your kids? Any friends or family there to help you out? Congrats on the 5 lb loss It's hard to cut out the junk isn't it? Sounds like you are doing well...keep it up! Have fun at your family reunion!! Hope you have a great rest of the week!! Bridgett

Hi Greeleygirl...............well ive been doing better,holding my own at 117lbs and i just posted some new pics of my new shortier dew lol. My daughter just made the middle school cheerleading team,so that is alot of time. I am just taking one day at a time. I hope you get feeling better,it sucks to be sick,.. You take care!!!! Vickie

Hi Vickie, I'm so glad to hear that you are doing much better!! Are you still having problems keeping the weight on or eating? I saw your pictures and you look awesome!! I'm so happy for you and you look healthy and like you feel good! I also like your new hairdo it's really cute! I'm hoping to start feeling better myself..I had to go to the ER this morning...really bad bad cramps and burning sensations in my stomach. Come to find out, after X-Rays that I am backed up really bad and constipated..even though I've been going..it just hasn't been coming out all the way. I was embarassed lol. So I've got a gallon jug of this bowel prep stuff that I have to drink every 10 minutes and so far it hasn't moved a darned thing..but I'm going to keep drinking it and see what happens. All I know is that I'm uncomfortable!! You take care too! Bridgett
