Hi everyone. I have been MIA for awhile, reading, but not posting. But now that school is over, I hope to post more often. Welcome to all of you who are new. Tomorrow is my weigh in day, but figured I didnt need to wait until then to post. Last week I lost 1 lb for a total of almost 32lbs (about 80 more to go). Slow and steady, but happy with my progress. I got up an used my elliptical this morning. I did that faithfully every morning when I was getting ready for work, but now that I am off for the summer, I try to switch things up a little because I have more time. It has been doing nothing but raining here for nearly 2 weeks. On Saturday I drug my husband with me for a 2.5 mile walk, and it was even drizzling. I didnt care, just glad to get some exercise to log in! Tomorrow after taking my middle son to scout day camp, I am heading to a pilates class. This will be my second week at these classes, and boy are they tough!!! Not as much while I am doing it, but the day after, ouch! Any way, I just wanted to check in! Heidi

Just wanted to say hi since I've been MIA all weekend too :). Finally
got moved to Dover but not nearly unpacked, so still many APs to earn
still. Gotta find my scale to WI tomorrow or hold off until Wednesday
if I find it. I am joining the local YMCA where they have great
weights, 2 pools(1 is rec and 1 is lap) and lots of classes. I'm gonna
FINALLY try Zuma since it's actually INCLUDED in the fee here(unlike my
old gym where it was extra!). Gonna sign the kids up for swim lessons
after dd gets back from sleepaway camp, so I'll probably workout while
they're doing that, as well as other days(free daycare is also
included.) earned supposedly 46 APs this week with all the moving, but
I'm not eating them all since i'm sure that's too many.
Have a great week everyone!

2. Climb the Mountain

Someone sent this to me and I wanted to share because it can easily apply to weight loss. Heidi
Climb The Mountain
I tried to climb the mountain today. As I inched my way up the path, I felt out of breath and had to turn back.
I tried to climb the mountain today. But, It was so hot outside, I thought I had better stay in my nice air-conditioned house and rest up for tomorrow's attempt.
I tried to climb the mountain today. On my journey, darkness started to fall and I was full of fear, so I had to return to a safe place.
I was ready to climb the mountain today. But I had so many other things to do, so instead of climbing the mountain I took care of the much more important tasks; I washed my car, mowed the grass and watched a movie. Today the mountain will have to wait.
I was going to climb the mountain today. But as I stared at the mountain in all its majestic beauty, I knew I had no chance of making it to the top, so I figured why even begin trying.
I had forgotten about climbing the mountain today, until an old friend came by and asked what I was up to lately. I told him about all my plans to climb that mountain someday. I went on and on about how I was going to accomplish the task.
He stopped me and said, "I just got back from climbing that mountain. for the longest time I told myself I was going to try to climb it but never made any progress."
"I almost let the dream of making it to the top die. I came up with every excuse of why I could not make it up the mountain, but never once did I give myself a reason why I could. One day as I stared at the mountain and pondered, I realized that if I didn't make an attempt at this dream all my dreams would eventually die."
"The next morning, I started my climb. It was not easy, and at times I wanted to quit. But no matter what I faced, I placed one foot in front of the other, keeping a steady pace. When the wind tried to blow me over the edge, I kept walking. When the voices inside my head screamed, STOP, I focused on my goal, never letting it out of sight. I kept moving forward. I could not quit because I knew I had come too far to stop now. Time and time again, I reassured myself that I was going to finish this journey. I struggled mightily to make it to the top, but I CLIMBED THE MOUNTAIN."
"I have to be going," my friend said. "Tomorrow is a new day to accomplish more dreams. By the way what are you going to do tomorrow?"
I looked at him, with intensity and confidence in my eyes, and said, "I HAVE A MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB."

I gained 0.4 pounds this week. Not surprising with all the eating out this
last week especially with my husband's birthday.

I have been up since 3:30 am had to be at work by 4:30. I got to sit down today for 10 minutes. I worked an 8 1/2 hour shift and then come home and straightened up the house. I have a ton of stuff to get finished as I only have 1 day off this week and the rest of it I will be working swing shifts. Those are the hardest. I have 3 dayshifts and two cateye shifts.

10. Mommy/Daughter Day- OT for Some
Posted by: "Faye Ridpath" ispgypsy@gmail.com fayefromtampa
Date: Mon Jun 22, 2009 10:33 pm ((PDT))
Marcella and I had a *great* mommy/daughter day!
We went to this nail place I love and now they have a "Cartoon Spa" for
kids. What that was, was a pedicure for kids. They sit in a chair and the
seat back has a teddy bear head and then it has a DVD player at the chair
and they play movies and cartoons for them. I paid $5 more because Marcella
wanted a manicure too. She loved it.
Then I told her I'd take her to lunch, anywhere she wanted to go. She chose
Morae's. An Iranian restaurant. I love it because my dad is from Iran so I
grew up on that food and it reminds me of home when I go there.
The only sore spot in my life right now, is normally my hubby and I are the
best of friends. We've always gotten along great and area always laughing
and joking with each other. But lately, we can't be in the same room for
more than 5 minutes without an argument starting about something (most often
about what Marcella should and shouldn't be disciplined for but there are
other topics too). It makes me sad because we've always had such a great
relationship and I do still love him and I know he loves me because he shows
it in everything he does (for instance I work 3rd shifts now at work two
nights a week and have been having a really hard time staying awake. So I
told him maybe I should bring in our Portable DVD player and my Netflix and
start watching them. So he tested it to make sure it was working for me- cuz
we haven't used it in ages- and it wasn't. It kept saying no disc. So he
kept fiddling with it till he was sure it would work for me tonight) So I
know the love hasn't died or anything so I don't understand why we act like
this towards each other lately. And of course neither one of us wants to say
we're at fault, I tell him he's the one that's angry lately and he says I
am. Maybe he is right and he is me. Maybe all the weird hours I work (my
hours can be anywhere from 3rd shift to 7am-2pm to anywhere in between all
in the same week!) Not that I'm saying I should take the blame but I'm just
saying maybe all the changing hours is having a bad effect on me?
To illustrate (I hate to say this almost now you guys will think I'm crazy!)
today on my way to work everyone was driving so slow! So I went to pass a
car and then I could never switch back over to the lane I needed in time (I
had to turn right at some point) because the car I had attempted to pass
stayed right even with me after I switched lanes. So I missed my turn. So I
just freaked! I started crying and screaming! Just because I missed a turn?
So all I have to do is drive a little further and turn back around
somewhere. I already take an antidepressant for depression so I don't
know...
Anyway sorry for the people I posted to that this was kind of OT but I had
to vent a little. And also share my wonderful early part of the day cuz
mommy daughter day with Marcella was nice at least.
But nothing so nice after other than getting to work and getting to watch
Grey's Anatomy on DVD between calls.
~~~Faye~~~

I'm sorry I don't remember which one of the WW groups I'm in, or which
person posted the advice, so I'm posting this to all the WW groups I'm in.
But awhile back, I posted one of my favorite between meal snacks is
tortilla chips with FF cheese melted on top. But I further stated that while
they are good they are not as good as pre WW days when I used the real
cheese because FF cheese doesn't melt nearly as well. Well, one of the
people that responded suggested I try adding salsa and then the cheese and
nuking it and I finally got the chance to try that the other night and I
just wanted to say thank you so much! That was *so* good that way and the
cheese melted so much it was gooey and I had to acutally use a fork as
opposed to just being able to eat them with my hands like I normally do. So
thank you to the person (I'm so sorry I forgot who you are!) who gave me the
great suggestion, you made my favorite snack food even better!
~~~Faye~~~
