***Super Sunday Roll Call***
Dianna,
So sorry that you're having to go through this. Just try to refocus and think of this as labor pains - you're giving birth to a whole new you along the way, even if it's not "fun" getting there. Hopefully in the long run this will turn into a positive thing for you, even though you don't want it now.
Focus on the positives wherever you can. Lean on your support system as often as you need. Love yourself most of all.

Good morning all!
We're still in Ocean City MD; we'll head home tonight. In a few minutes, I'll pack a lunch for us, then we'll head out to the beach to spend the day. We did that yesterday, too, and it was chilly out there. Today seems warmer, so hopefully I won't be freezing in the sun again! We'll take a couple of long walks on the beach, so that will warm me up. All too soon, it will be back to reality and work.
Have a great day, everyone!!

Good morning everyone...
Trish - I'm so sorry you're going through this unbalanced feeling. I hope that you can re-tap your amazing inner strength soon and take a step back from the emotionally fueled eating. If there's any way I can help, feel free to PM me and I'll send you my cell number to call.
So, this day's shaping up to be wacky. I got up nice and early (BOY was it COLD!!!) and prepped my crock pot stuffed cabbage, then headed to the gym for my "concierge" appointment. That entailed a thorough orientation to the gym, advice as to which classes might be appropriate, signing up for the various intro workshops that I'm interested in, and measurements. I am VERY pleased to say that my BMI is now in the "Overweight" category!!!!!! (Wow!) After the appointment, I did a slightly different workout than usual - she suggested a quick cardio warmup (5 mins) then doing my weight work, and then going back to finish cardio. Apparently it does better converting fat to muscle that way, so I'll try it. Used a different elliptical type - more of a "glide" motion? - and BOY do my legs and abs feel it now!
Anyway, got home, fixed my protein shake, and my boss calls (NEVER a good sign on a weekend). Apparently our UPS (uninterruptible power supply) failed somehow and all of our servers crashed. So we're in disaster recovery mode currently - my team is on their way in to campus, and will be working to check and restart all the systems once the elec is rerouted. Oh Joy.
i was planning on getting my mom's new TV set up for her and then working on some jewelry today. Not sure if that's going to happen now - we'll see. Never a dull minute.
Have a great day - it's beautiful and sunny, and starting to warm up a bit.
