Monday

Good morning....

Wow. It was hard to drag myself into work this morning. It was one of those nights of sleeping like crap. I have no idea why. I was tempted to text my boss and take the morning off but I knew a few people were depending on me being here this morning. Ah well, maybe I'll sleep good tonight.

I will be making the reservation pretty soon for dinner Saturday night (6 pm) at Middlebury's Amish restaurant. If you plan on going to it and/or the camp-out and have not let me know already, please drop me a line very soon. Right now, I have ~34 people down as going. You do not have to camp-out to join us for dinner so if any of you live locally to there and would like to join us, that would be great. Just let me know how many to include. If you wanted to camp, call Hope at the Middlebury KOA soon. There will probably be plenty of tent sites available but the RV sites and cabins may be sold out by now. If you do call, be sure to mention my name and the ObesityHelp Indiana camp-out so that you can get the group discount.

I hope everyone has a good Monday...and that your day is off to a better start than my lack of sleep gave me.

Huggs...

Good morning everyone. Sherri, I'm sorry you didn't sleep well. I hope your day goes by quickly!

I had a nice weekend with the family. I work tonight and tomorrow night, so today is my chance to get a few things done. Have a trainer appt at the gym this morning and gotta get the kids' hair cut. Then cleaning around the house since the house goes to he** when I work for a few days in a row. Hope you all have a good monday!

boy melissa from looking at your pic you sure are getting skinny!

Hi all. It's a Monday morning, definately. I was going to get up at 5am to go exercise, but I was too tired. Reset the alarm for 7am. I did get to work fine though. I wish I could take a 'mental health' day and stay at home to vegetate, but that's not an option. I don't have the time to take off, and we can't afford me to take unpaid time. I guess I'll feel better at the end of the day by being productive, anyway.

Some days, I really just want to tell the world, "This is too hard. I can't do this." I think I'm having an especially hard time around now. Maggie would have turned 6 on August 22. I saw a "6" year-old birthday card in Hallmark Saturday, with Tinkerbell on it, and I cried and cried. It took a little while to pull it back together. I know though, that I have to do this. As scary as it is, I'm the one holding things together right now for my family. They need me.

I don't have much planned for today. Just working and appointments. I hope the day gets better. Maybe I'll get to the Y to swim or walk tonight, since I don't have to pull a double today.

Linda, you are such an inspiration. You are a beautiful person and I respect you very much. I am looking forward to meeting all of you great people at the camp out. My Monday is on Sunday. Usually it is very busy, but yesterday was low keyed. SWEET! Iam measuring my food all week just to make sure I am on target by eyeballing it. So far I have discovered that I am pretty close with my eyeballs! lol  Hope all have a nice day and a blissful nights sleep tonight. Wendy

Happy Monday to you all!
It was a productive weekend. I worked in the house all day saturday and then in the yard on Sunday. It was the first time I have cut the grass myself in 8 weeks. I missed it! Boy was I sore last night though. I felt so good and so much myself again.

I hope you all have a wonderful camping trip and reconnect with old friends. It should be a wonderful time!

I will be praying that each of you have a wonderful weight loss week!

Morning all!!  Had a good weekend but, just went to fast. I hate it when that happens. Anyway, I am muddling through my Monday. Once I get out at lunch and soak up a little son running around in my truck with the sunroof open, my spirits might pick up a bit. I need some sunshine in my bones. We thought at the end of last week that our septic was fixed and ok and Saturday morning my husband got out to mess in the yard and noticed that it was all backed up and in the yard going into the garden. it's a mess!!!  The guys are coming out today to check it and I am just sick over all this crap! Sorry! But, we put $3,700. into fixing this old system and now we find out that we might need a whole new system. I am just saying my prayers these days that we will finally see above water (septic water... ick!) one of these days soon.

I hope everyone has a good day!!

Johnna we also have a spetic system, so far so good but boy I feel your pain. It is one of my nightmares that  you are living..ugh ugh ugh.  Keep you head up g/f and hang in there.
