sorry been MIA

I guess i'll start off with the negatives because there's only one. I have a sinus infection AGAIN and this time it really is kicking my butt. no fever though thank God.
I have been really busy with school and my family and i dont obsess over the scale anymore. also, we moved this week. we're almost unpacked because for some reason i can ubpack 10 times faster than i can pack... lol. i woke up with hubby because of the sinus pain and stuff and he went to work. for once i can say i am not afraid to be alone. and gabby is going to bed without a fight because its a one level apartment and we're right here and no one can "get her". poor baby i dont know why she is so afraid. and clingy. at least it looks to be improving.
i am still at 35 or 34 lbs weight lost. i have been taking it easy the past 2 weeks and ::cough:: havent been walking or drinking enough water. shame on me. i know its why i am at a stall but i needed to pack and take care of fussy kid and then move/unpack. the tv was packed for a while but its up now so i am looking forward to starting again. u just dont feel like exercising when u have a migrane and your nose is making u miserable. i am just excited that i am even at 35 lbs gone. i really want to hit 50 lbs total lost, but i'd be happy if i get there by halloween. that would still be an awesome accomplishment since i started this journey near the middle of june. today will be a busy day but i will check in from time to time and night classes end the middle of sept and then i can come to chat on monday nights again :) 
i hope everyone is doing well. i need to check up on some of the people on my buddy list before i sign off here. Patrece, how did your surgery go?

Things sound busy for you. The sinus thing will improve. Sounds like the move is good for your child. Do get in your water and exercise. You will notice positive feelings from the exercise endorphins. Enjoy your class, we will be here for chat when you can come again.

Do not become a slave to that scale again, once a week is enough. Go by the feel of the fit of your clothes. Are they feeling looser, tighter. Hang in there Sara. Hugs

HI JUST THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE U A TIP FOR YOUR SINIS..PUT NEOSPORIN UP EACH NOSTRAL THEN OCEAN SPRAY   ..MON AN NITE ..SILL KILL BACTIERA THEN BLOW OUT ..BEST TIP I EVER GOT....

REALLY?????? Never heard of this... Will have to try it next time I have a sinus infection..
Wonder if it helps with allergy sinus problems too?

So Glad the new living arrangements are working well for Gabby and that you are feeling better when hubby is not around. Ahhh progress! Hope those sinus feel better very soon for you...

It's great that given you have been busy and not really focused on losing, that you have maintained.. great job! BUT do PLEASE get the water in! If you don't your body will hold onto to fluids and  that will up the scale in itsself. Be good to your body as you go through this journey my friend!

My surgery went well! I did awesome and was released a little earlier than he expected to release me. I am feeling more up to par each day now. For a while i was onloy walking 1/4 mile a day. Yesterday i probably walked a mile and a half and carried my granddaughter for about half of that.. and some of it was up some steep stairs built into the side of a hill. I did awesome. no pain, didn't lose my breath.. ahhh I LOVE being at a normal BMI! AND I love that I can hold my grandkids and play with them again since this last surgery!

Glad to hear from you. Keep in touch, we love to hear your news.
