God I Need Help

lol. ok, ok I get it!:willy_nilly: Sorry everyone I very rarely post in here any more. Shorty came home this week and we spent a lot of time getting her ready for school and enrolled in school. We worked out this week and it was great having here because we would wait till the sun went down and walked 4 to 5 miles each night.

I have my second interview for a part time job on Wednesday. If I get in I will be working 5:30a.m to 6:00p.m. daily. So when you see even less of me you'll know why. But don't you all worry I'm still in this. I'm just going to be a little tired:ack2:

Thanks for stoppin by and checking on me ladies. Love you all.
GOOD LUCK HUN!!!! I HOPE YOU GET IT!!! :iagree:....and as long as you're still in this....THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS!!!!
 
I'm sure you have already, but have you told your current job, and your new job potentially, that you will be in Vegas that weekend in Nov?? Just curious.
 
Hello everyone. Yes I got the new job @ DHL but it won't start until the middle of September. But in the mean time I'm working 10+ hours @ my current job and am only getting one day a week off until everyone gets back from their vacations. I haven't been getting home until 7 sometimes 8 @ night which sucks because my daughter is home by herself for a few hours. I feel just a little overwhelmed right now but it should all smooth out soon.

MJ you better believe they know about Vegas:sifone:. After the few months I've had Vegas is just what I need. I won't be able to leave until Friday though because I will have to work until 8:30 and I'll have to take shorty to grandparents house. (not sure which ones yet)

Hope everyone is great and I'm sorry I haven't been around to support you all like I should. Hope you all understand and can just bear with me a little longer.
 
Congrats on the job! Just do the best you can do... it's even harder to fit it all in when you have kids and you are as busy as you are... being overwhelmed is normal. Remember (even just a little) exercise helps relieve stress so try to get as much of your workout in as you can everyday!
 
Hey LeeLee, just stoppin in to say hi... hopefully you didn't quit the forum just because you quit the challenge... we're all still here for you!!!! :D

Thanks Paula I really appreciate the support. Just trying to get all my thoughts together but I'm still here. :willy_nilly:

Today my daughter and I went for a 2 mile jog during the evening and it felt good. We haven't been eating out either. Strictly cooking @ home so we can watch what we eat. Doing the best I can can with what I have. I just keep looking to the future for my bright, thin, happy outcome.

Hey Girlie....Just stopped by to say hey.....and CONGRATS on the new JOB, even though it sounds a bit tough right now with all the extra hours!!! I'm happy that you and your daughter are being able to spend more time with EACH OTHER!!! :grouphug:....

...you know what's funny is that when you talk of you and your daughter, it reminds me and WARPS me back to me and my mom growing up because you are SO YOUNG and PRETTY, and HARD WORKING and SINGLE, and my mom and I were at about YOUR AGES too!...I had the YOUNG HOT mom, like you and your daughter, she had me at about 20 yrs, and when I was about 5 years old, they go divorced....right after my little brother was born....IT WAS HARD....on both of us...it definitely forced me to grow up a lot faster than I wanted to...but YOU DO TOGETHER what is needed to survive :grouphug:....and the reason I tell you is because I have a WARMTH :beating: in my heart for women out there who STRUGGLE by themselves, and DO IT ANYWAY to protect their own!!!
....You know, I completely understand your situation, and let me tell you...those little quality moments...even at the park, smiling together, what ever it may be...those are the moments that COUNT!!! When you talk about you and your daughter, I think of me and my mom......I understand the struggles that single women go through to raise their kids, because we were one of them!!! There were so many good times, and so many tough times....but I'll tell you...we had EACH OTHER....:iagree:....no matter what happened in life...no one could take that away from us.....& IT IS TOUGH being single and raising kids!! I know...!!! My mom too had to work crazy hours just to make us survive and be able to have the small things we asked for! I am so grateful to her today!!! You have no IDEA, and the struggles and lack of time spent together, made me REALLY appreciate her and the time we did get to spend together!!! I commend you and YOU WILL SEE, all your HARD WORK will pay you back a MILLION FOLDED back!!! I just wanted to tell you that, because I know what it is like to be on the daughter's end of the stick in your situation....and HOW MUCH THOSE moments spent together STILL shine up my LIFE and bring me great feelings of JOY!!! I believe it's the struggles, the tears, the smiles, the laughs, the talks we had that I saw my mom go through for me and my little brother, as a SINGLE mother, that made us CLOSER than ever!!! :beating:......The thing I loved the most, was that no matter how much she had to work, she always had time, to laugh, cuddle, and joke, and when she had time, we DID do little things together!!! BELIEVE ME THOSE RUNS, THOSE TALKS, everything, they will mean SO MUCH TO HER in the future!!! You are doing a GREAT JOB, and YOUR HEART just shines right through!!! :iagree: I CAN SEE IT!!!!!!!!!

...YOU are PRECIOUS,....and GOD KNOWS IT, you have been BLESSED!!!!!! :grouphug:
 
Damn Alta, why you gotta go and make me cry like that? It's nice to hear that from you. You turned out fabulous and that gives me hope for her. I sometimes wonder if I've messed her up. But to this day she is ones of the sweetest girls I've had the pleasure of knowing. She just makes me want to try harder.

She will have a fabulous life I just have to picture it and believe it. I've struggled before and I'll do it again but we always end up where we need to be.

Thank you for your words and support and love. You are an amazing person with a huge heart and I hope you know how special you are.

:beating:..........ANYTIME!!!! YOU ARE SPECIAL and I believe all women need to know that in your situation :grouphug:!!!!!!! :iagree:
 
So today I learned a valuable leason. Don't go jogging after eating crap all day long. I thought I was going to throw up. :puke:I've eaten horribly for the last three days due to my daughter's birthday. So we thought we would go jogging to burn some of it off and I could feel everything bouncing around. Not pleasant.
I did get some cardio in but it was harder for me today. Tomorrow we're trying again. I won't eat like that tomorrow that's for sure. Back to eating like a normal person.

Ha that's terrible! Kudos for running though! :hurray:
 
I stepped on the scale today and I'm finally in the 160's.:hurray: It's been years since I've been there and I can't wait to get down to the weight I was before I had my daughter.
The way I've been doing it is rarely eating out. I take my lunch to work with me and make dinner when I get home. I've also been running more. Since I stopped smoking it's a lot easier and I actually enjoy it. I still splurge on things once in a while just so I don't feel like I'm missing out and then I get back on track right away.
I only have 12 lbs to go and I think I might be able to do it this time.
 
So I'm jogging still and I need to figure out some new things to keep it interesting. My man friend wants to take me sailing but I don't know if I'm cut out for going that far out into the water.

I need to get a few extra lbs off for the Exotic Erotic Ball coming up at the end of the month. So I will be working my butt off for the next couple of weeks. Got to look good in my costume :drool5: So if anyone has some points for a quick fix let me know please.

I will post some more later. Everyone have a great Halloween.
 
Hey Ruthie! Glad you are sticking to the working out and eating right. It's a new lifestyle for us!! No more going back to the dark side. Keep up the great work and hopefully I'll see a smaller version of you soon. xoxo
