Christenhere-ear surgery-healing 2 weeks
Paula--------stomach surgery-healing 3 weeks

......:(.....I'm sorry so many of you are out of commission, FEEL BETTER and HEAL nicely to all of you!!!..... REALLY makes me APPRECIATE the fact that I am able to work it....now MAYBE I SHOULD JUST DO IT!!! ;)....what a thought huh....JUST DO IT!!!
 
thanks for the support guys! haha it seems silly that i cant do anything.. i feel completely fine! I am full of energy and ready to roll but the doctor says NO>> if i sweat my ear will fall off! so im scared to do anything.. even go outside cause its hot! im getting some of the stitches out on Thursday im gonna make sure theres not anything i can be doing cause this is ridiculous!
 
Hey Christen, hope your ear is healing and you'll get the go ahead to get on with life as usual :) have a great weekend!
 
Ok.. so i havent been posting as much as usual this past month.. things have been sooo hectic but I am still here and I am still working hard in my free time to lose weight and tone up!! Here are just a few things going on that have kind kept my mind occupied

1.my car broke about a month ago and i had to pay 1400 to get it fixed and take out a loan to pay my tuition which I am still trying hard to pay off.. (700$ left)
2. School has started and I have a ton of homework
3. since school has started i am only working part time meaning less money, and more stress at work playing catchup
4. surgery on my ear
5. problems with the boyfriend- they are worked out now
6. my mom is schizophrenic and she has had a mental breakdown and i have been dealing with a lot mentally on what to do with her.. this has been the main cause of my stresses for the past few weeks.. she doesnt know she has a problem because thats just how the sickness works so i have to figure out how to get her into a hospital to get help.. no one in my family will help me and i hate to see her get carried away in a straight jacket but that might be what has to happen.. I am going down to see her tomorrow (she lives about 4 hrs from me by herself).. her friend called me concerned saying that she hasnt slept or eaten in weeks and that she has really gone down hill so it is time for me to step in and get her help.. i am worried now because she has a dog that I am going to have to take on now as well as a plethora of other things I am not equipped to handle at 23 years old (financial burden, hospital bills, etc) I just want what is best for her and the situation is so much more complicated than I lead on.. just a summary though..

hopefully i can get some of this straightened out this week and get back on track with my exercise routine...i get my stitches out on Thursday and will be ready this Saturday to start back on my points again!!
 
Oh my goodness girl. I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. I can imagine the stress her condition is putting on you. Hang in there girlie. Do what you can but try not to get yourself in over your head. My thoughts are with you!!
 
Wow you DO have a lot going on... when it rains, it pours I guess huh? Hope everything works out with your mom... I'll be thinking about you.

Hello! No problem working the points out here, you are welcome!

Just to be clear on what you meant.

You are opting out of Exercise Points, but are going to do the Bonus Challenge this week?

I KNOW.....I KNOW........I LOVE YOU, and YOU are one of the STRONGEST individuals I KNOW!!! :grouphug:......YOU WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THIS!!!!
 
WOW have i been busy... sorry i havent been able to check in with you guys.. i have been doing a lot of traveling for work and also to help my mom...i have been sooo stressed that i have not been eating or sleeping... i guess the good part of that is that i have lost some more weight! I got on the scale this morning and it said 153.3! I had to bring my moms dog home to take care of him.. now i have 3 dogs and it is a zoo in here in my little apartment.. unfortunately he isnt trained and pees all over everything.. i am at my wits end...I got my stitches out today so I am back on track to exercise. I am hoping to start off strong on Saturday and earn some points for the playmates!!
 
Wow girl, you have a lot to deal with right now... remember that exercise helps with stress so even though it might get hard to fit it in with everything else you have going on, try to get a little in everyday. You'll feel better and be able to handle more... You're awesome! :)
 
yeah.. exercise has defiantely helped to take my mind off of things.. i havent been to the gym BUT i have been playing vball 4 days a week.. so i havent been a complete bum.. just not on a good schedule right now with the travel and everything.. I am going to start back on track tomorrow! 4 hrs vball tonight, gym tomorrow, 5 hrs vball Sunday etc etc.. yay for being back! How are you feeling after your surgery? can you notice a difference yet in your tummy?!

THAT'S alot of volleyball! You're definitely getting a workout in!!! Yes, there was an obvious difference even right after surgery. I have pics posted under my profile in my album... you'll have to check them out when you get a chance! Next week I can start weight training again and can start training for a 6-pack!! WHOO HOO!!!
 
hi there!

I'm sorry to hear about your mom :( That IS terribly stressful and a difficult situation. I just wanted to pop in and state that I'm in a similar place, weight wise and goal wise, as you--my current BMI is about 22.9 and my goal BMI for the lower range is about 21.5, so I can relate to where you're at. The last 9 pounds are a bitch, aren't they??

Hope you have a good day!

~Valerie

Found it!! I knew you posted when you were flying in. I'm looking at flights now.

trying to get there around the same time as you, perhaps we both take the shuttle over to the hotel..

I don't want you to be in vegas alone on Thursday!!
