Where are all our train riders this morning?  Must be sleeping in...

I have our "convocation" for our school district today.  All the rest of the employees return to work today to get ready for all of the delightful children that will be here next Monday...

Join us in August Accountability...whether it's good or bad

Watching all the storms in the gulf or heading towards the gulf... I don't trust many of them anymore since 2 have hit us in the last 4 years.

Prayers for all who need them.  I better go get ready for work!

Have a great Monday.

Karla

Good Morning Karla & TMB,

I am watching too and I pray that we aren't affected again.  We've have most definitely had our share of storms in recent years.  Nothing spectacular goinng on here except to return to work today and I am grateful to have my job.  Today is my son's second day of school.   I did not realize just how much paper work had to be completed last night until I started filling them all out.  I pray he can survive this school  year.  He struggles because of his disability.  Have a great Monday!

since I live on the coast now I should watch storms I suppose

suggestions on websites for good weather info?
Home is where the army allows me to live with my husband

I know what I need to do - I have to choose to take care of me or I choose to fail

Danni, there are several good sites, I don't have them all here but www.weather.com has a storm tracker that will give the "projected path" of each one.  Star****ching lady, lol.

I'm sleeping in because I'm on vacation this week.  I slept ALL weekend!  I can't believe I did that!  I think I was up maybe three hours and the rest of the time I was in bed!!  I've had a sore throat but I don't think that is what made me sleep!  Whew, but I feel better!!

I hope none of the storm**** our coast or LA's coast, we definately don't need that again!!  Prayers are out that the storms just dissapate!

Well, gotta get to cleaning the closet so I can see if the under house access is there!  I'm NOT looking forward to this!!  LOl!!

Have a great day everyone!  Love ya!

morning all - had a good weekend - nothing went exactly as planned but that is ok  - we got the upstairs good clean sat  - did some grocery shopping (will have to go back for more produce n milk but that is all for several weeks - hehehe) - did some yard sale ing sat morning - got Rach 3 riding toys and an outside adult camp chair for $8 -  tryed to attend the contempary services on base Sunday but after I spent 30 mins fighting with a tired little girl we gave up and left - will try agian in a couple of weeks - made plans to go to my forever friends house - she just moved from el paso to North carolina - our youngest are less than 2 months apart and we haven't seen each other in 2 yrs!! and her oldest is Ks best forever friend (from when they were like 18 months till 4yo totoally inseperable) she is also going to teach the teen to drive if I can get his permit this week - I am going to try believe you me!!!
we went to the wild animal center agian and saw the other half - including a possum that is a pet - cute pic on FB of Rach NOT petting it LOL
my food choices over all are good of late - but then I go and do silly stuff like decide that since the Jello in the jello salad is sf I can eat it - ummm I put a ton of fruit in there plus cool whip - mr pouch did talk to me about that and I won't be eating anymore of it
weight is staying on the low side but not dropping like I would like - hopful it will start since Tim will be home in less than 2 weeks and I REALLY wanted to be noticiably smaller when he got home - just to prove to me I could

today is internet stuff (looking at colleges and info on driving permit) paying bills and down stairs house cleaning plus a wives walking club at 10 and a quick walmart trip b/c I forgot to buy cat food while there sat  - will hit the E if Rach naps while we are home

sorry this got soooo long
every one have a great day - remember your basics
WHY did you have surgery - to be healthy
HOW do you get that way - vits, water, protien and movement
Do YOU really have to - YES!!

peace my friends - for each and every one of us today

I'm in a horrible mood today, I am so mad at myself for just allowing the emotional eating to continue on.  It's ridiculous.  I bought index cards yesterday, gonna get back to The Beck Diet Solution book and see if I can get a handle on WHY *sigh* I keep eating for no hunger reasons.

Ok, it's Monday and my kiddos go back to school tomorrow.  Yippy, I'm excited to have them busy and NOT calling mom all day; not looking forward to homework though.  I've sat them down and told both of them they are responsible for doing their homework without mom having to sit there and make sure they do it.  I'll review it and help them study but not sit while they do their homework.  Any suggestions from other mom's is welcome, I know boys usually require more supervision than girls at this age but it's time for them to TRY and learn responsibilities.

Busy day at work planned again, I don't see my work plate letting up anytime soon.  We need help but with the current economy my boss doesn't want to add cost to the budget.

Dana, I was reading this atricle by life coach Martha Beck yesterday and found it interesting.  Apply this theory to food and our journey.  It is interesting and worth some thought. 

We also discussed this during our OH leader conference call this month.  You are not alone!  Men and women who are at all stages fight this.  Some participate in programs like weigh****chers simply for the continued accountability.  Others use diet programs to help control portions, but thats a hurdle for most due to dietary restrictions depending on the WLS type.  In the end none of them use these "diets" to lose weight but instead to control themselves and give themselves a reason to stop or change negatyive behaviors. 

Read the article and let me know what you think.

Dana, I am in a horrible mood too. I wish someone would just knock the crap out of me so I can just snap out of it. But, the people that would love to knock the crap out of me, are not here right now. I am trying to stay positive. But, it has not happened yet. I ate like crap the whole weekend. I am paying for it. I am bloated and crabby. Plus my DD left a couple of hours ago. The good part is we had a great visit.I spent a ton of freaking money. But, I know it will be worth it on down the road that we got to do so much stuff together.
I had a great fun filled weekend. It was so packed I didn't even get to do everything I was invited to. That is a good feeling.

I better get off of here and get this Monday started at my work too.
Hugs to you all. Thanks for being my chosen family. Without you, I would first of all be 500 lbs and a very unhappy person.

Smile, it increases your face value.
