...Forgot to mention I did not see a loss for Week 1 of Challenge..

No wonder since this is my 4th messed up day.

:rolleyes:
 
Hey now!
You know that lack of sleep messes with the numbers. I can prove that on the weekends. Anytime I get less than 7 hours my numbers are all screwy.
Glad to hear that the dentist says it is not your tooth. To bad though that you have to keep going thru stuff.
Keep your chin up!
I know you can make it thru this time.
I just know it!!!!
 
*smoochies Dawn!* ;)

Praise the Lord the meds are working.

I'm praying they will 'continue to work!'

Shhheeewwwww...I'm not fibbing, I'd rather have LABOR PAINS than the pain of teeth/gums hurting. I'm not joking man!!!!!
(I was in labor for 14 hrs. 30 mins - I had no breaks..My contractions came every 30 seconds! I did not get my epideral until after the 10th hour..)

That is the strange thing about teeth, they set off other things..Not only did I have the horrid pain with that, my ear was hurting, my eye was hurting and I had a miagrain. {sp?}

I'm gonna try and get back on track with the challenge now and just with life in general.

So many things have piled up on me now. :ack2:

I'm not giving up, so that's a +

My lil Jaxon turned 3 months old on March 1st!

This child has such an angelic glow.

Jose and Jenna shared on the blog that he just had his first Deep Belly Laugh!
Of all things, it was caused by her brother and her other son Jordon playing basketball!
(this is neat bc my Chrisy/MaeMae is the star of her basketball team and has the basketball scholarship of course. So, this has a special meaning to us and of course Chrisy that her son had his first big laugh bc of a basketball!)

Here are new pics!





This one was just taken!

He is so PRECIOUS! He looks like my MaeMae!



I haven't got upset.

I know my intense bible study and new/fresh relationship w/the Lord is why.
HE is giving me peace/comfort.

Here is what Jenna shared on the blog..I want you guys to see bc it is so touching:

From Jenna/Adoptive Mother:

Jaxon will be 3 months old tomorrow. It feels like he's been here forever though......may be in our hearts he always has. We are blessed that he is with us, and we thank God for him every day! He is the light of our life and the best thing, since Jord, that happened to us!

Jaxie smiles everyday, and wakes up happy. He laughed for the first time 2 days ago.....and I mean a great big belly laugh. The funny thing is...it was when Jordan and my brother were playing basketball of all things!

Jaxon is on a great schedule now and is still growing a lot and thriving.
He loves to eat!!!

He can sit up in your lap now and has great head control. He still doesn't like to lie flat too often. He likes to sit up and be a part of things.
He found his hands the other day and likes to play with them.

He is really close with Jose and I think it's so awesome.
When Jose gets home, he does most of the care taking, so that Jaxon can bond with him. He does his feedings, bath, cuddling.....etc.

We are so grateful for this most amazing gift that you have passed along to our family.....

JJJJ

Chrisy will be home on Friday for Spring Break! :hurray:

I'm so double dang excited! :D

She has already asked me,

"Sissy, I want to stay with you a few days/night's ok? I also want your cooking!"

:sifone: HeeHee..

I can't wait for Friday to get here. :)
 
Dang, another rough day... :dupe:

Liquids all day and I was able to get cereal/toast down at dinner.
The pain got real bad and I had to take pain meds.

I'm trying to save them since I only got 10!
They won't pass out 750 mg of vicodin like candy..lol

No exercise dern it! :banghead:

Why couldn't all of this happened before the challenge?!

:nopity:

I have to learn how to manage stress/days like that and still take care of myself.

Honey, I never realized how bad stress was to me till I managed to get it under control.I reason I exercise as much as I do is for myt stress...that is what works for me anyway and yoga and meditation (well when it isnt screwing me up)LOL

As Charlie Brown would say, "Good Grief!"

I'm not giving up tho and I'm NOT throwing in the towel!
I hope week 2 will go more smoothly!
Click to expand...

This is the winniong attitude babe!And you will need to try to make week 2 better, tiny baby steps...I know what you are dealing with as I deal with it a fair amount and it is so easy to slip into a slight depression/slump...

If anything else try to eat more , more often and try to get more sleep...

I know of some natural herbs that aid well in sleep if ya need help in that department:hug2:

hickgurltx said:
They said nothing is wrong with that tooth or any other..
She said my compacted sinus cavity is the issue.
She said that will affect the nerves in healthy teeth and cause pain there and in the gums.

HEH I always get laughed at when I say that.When Ive had horrible teeth infections I compare it to labour and labour being easier, LOL...I would prefer to be in labour than deal with tooth aches:D

Most importantly take care of you first!!!
 
Thanks doll...He is a doll 4 sure!
I just want to kiss those chubby cheeks and comb his hair! :D

RE: challenge..LOL... :(

I'm OUT..

Just sent ya a PM before I came in here doll.

My pain has kicked off yet again..

Looks like day 3 on liquids and no exercise..

All I do is stayed curled up in a ball in pain.

Once it lets up I'm a zombie bc of the stress, pain, and lack of sleep.

I'll try to catch the next one.

:hug2:

This really sucks bc I was so excited.

Leave it to my luck to mess it up.

Even more sad; I have never lost weight on liquids only..LMBO..
:rolleyes:

It messes up my wacky body/metab..
So, I won't even have weight-loss as a 'gift' for going thro all this crap.
:dupe:

I'm off ta take another pain pill and try ta go to sleep.

:hug2:

Thanks for stopping in and for your kind support/sweet words.

<3 Stacy
 
Stop saying you messed up, you havent messed up anything.

Your body is sick and it is telling you to rest up and get better.

Ive had many many many bad infections tha tknock me on my ass and take me along time to recover from, im with ya babe I know how tough it is and how crappy it makes you feel, the mental games it plays!!!

You will deal with this first and then you will start dealign with everyhitng else:hug2:

Im gonna continue to run the six week challenges with one week break inbetween...it is a great way for us to have support and work towards our goals together:):hug2:

*Big Hugs* IwanttoKEEPfit :grouphug:

He sure does.

It can be so very easy to get lost as a Christian bc as 'people' we want eveything NOW..We want our direction, our promises from the Lord, His miracles, our purpose, just everything NOW.

It's easy to lose faith and back-slide which is what I have been very guilty of.

I have fought my way back though these last few months and the Lord is blessing me because I chose HIM and not my own way(s).

One thing that is soooo simple I chose to ignore was how HIS timing is very different than ours.
Also, when we create a lot of messes for ourselves over time, we cannot expect to get out of them quickly.
If it took time making them, it'll take time getting out of them.

That's where I made my BIG mistake.
I just got mad and decided He over-looked me and was ignoring me.
So many horrible things have happened to me and my family the past few years and I was just plain ole angry.
BUT, I should have seen these things in a different way..Like a trial/turmoil test and if infact it was, I failed horribly.

That won't happen this time. :) ;)

I took a long hard look at my weak points and so I'm working on those first through bible study:

9 Fruit's of the Spirit
Self-Control being a very important one bc how can you walk in all of the other's if you have no control? lol

Faith and PATIENTS.

Boy patients is the HARDEST and I always have a little bit of fear pop up when I pray for God to work in me bc HE has a sense of HUMOR!
Now that I have seeked Him many thing will come my way to make me LEARN it..LMBO! :smilielol5:

Great example yesterday...

You are in a hurry...you have been in the store shopping a long time and you are tired and still have many things to accomplish...

You pick the shortest line which in return becomes the longest bc the cashier is new and having a hard time.
She gets customer's that have separate orders and tons of produce she can't remember the codes for.
:D

I feel that I'm fixing to let out a huge *sigh* and begin the eye rolling and then I quickly remember praying for patients. :Angel_anim:

He teaches us in many ways that include things in our everyday life.

Same goes with diet/exercise.
We house the Holy Spirit within us and we have to take care of "His House."

He is happily awaiting us to come to Him for help.

:hug2:

I look forward to chatting with you about all this as well as other topics.

Hi Stacy :seeya:

Thank you for your sharing. When I read your story. It felt like a fellowship.. That you share your thought with other fellowers.. =]
I still thank God for so many christians around the world.
Talking about self-control... It is really hard.... If I had self control I already finished school and already reached my diet goal......

Haha... Looking at your picture... I wouldn't say you don't have patience. You look like some one who can wait all day for some one. Having patience with people you don't know... Maybe you have a nice, lovely face....
Now I know that picture doesn't say anything... =P

Do you know this book: One Minute Devotions: A taste of the spirit. By Karen Moore. Everyday you get a fruit of the Spirit.

A phrase from Gods Word I really like and want to share with you

Charm can be deceiving,
and beauty fades away,
but a woman
who honors the Lord
deserves to be praised.

Proverbs 31:30

May God bless you and your family. Good luck on this weight loss journey. We are not alone.. :party:

Hi E1,

I'll be MIA off/on...I'm still dealing with the teeth/gum pain..When it hits, it's real bad. :(

I've only been able to eat once a day and continue with liquids of course.
Eating really sets it off.

This makes me think it's not sinus related...?
I wish for once I could deal with someone that will give me a CORRECT ANSWER for cryin' out loud. :rolleyes:

I'm so glad the pain let up enough for me to get dressed and go to church for Wed. Bible Study.
I hope I can make Sunday morning service as well!

MaeMae will be home 'round 5PM tomorrow!!! :hurray:

I can't wait to see my lil babe!

That will be another reason why I'm off/on....

Speaking of hurting/pain, I have to run by to check on my mom as well while dad is on the road to get Chrisy(6 hour trip total) bc at 10AM they have to shave down bones in her mouth that are causing her dentures to pop out/not fit correctly..
OUCH!!! :puke:

She will have a mouthful of stitches and be in a lot of pain.
I feel so bad 4 her. :(

She won't even get to enjoy Chrisy's 1st night home.

I just hope we can all feel better soon...lol...

*In case you guys missed it, there are new pics of Jax posted above in a previous post.

:grouphug:

<3 Stacy
 
sorry ya needed to drop out of the challenge. Look after yourself and hang in there.
 
Jaxon has the most beautiful eyes, they just melt ya, don't they? :)

So sorry to hear you're having more health problems. :ack2: Hope the pain goes away SOON! :hug2:
 
Hey You,

Just checking up, I know you are busy with Mae Mae and workign on feeling better and such...

Just wanted to drop in adn say, I love ya and Im think of ya and Im hoping you are managing to feel better:hug2:
 
Hello Everyone,

Man, I have been away for a while.. :leaving:

It has been up/down re: the pain, MaeMae bein' here, and church activities.
:)

I have been busy.

I'm happy to report that I'm 188.8 (I was 188.9)
Sooooo GLAD I didn't 'gain' since my eating routine was all messed up.
As well as NO exercise. :leaving:

I don't have pain now, I just have discomfort. The dentist will see me once the antibiotic is gone. I hope it is just sinus related and the meds clear it up. :)

Time to get back on track with eating and exercise.

MaeMae spent 2 days with us and it was just awesome having her here.

Church has been great as well.

MaeMae leaves for college on Sat. :(

She'll be back 4 good tho the 1st week of May. :hurray:

Cory's last day is this Friday and he'll begin Spring Break.
He's ready! LOL

Whelp, I'm gonna try to catch up in your diaries now. :seeya:

<3 Stacy
 
I was happy to hear you're not in pain anymore and had a good time with Mae Mae. :)

Your Spring Break starts early. Ours isn't until April 3rd.
 
Sorry you suffered so much pain, Stacy! UGH!!! But heck, you got to spend time with Mae Mae, how nice :) Hope you have a goal reachin' weekend :waving:
