Long history of family being asshats as well as childhood trauma and general dislike of these people. Despite that i actually have to see them every once in a while as there well family.

alex's family wasn;t too bad last weekened. mine will be a bit more trying. My father though living in the states is also still managing to be an asshole from afar. he really needs to stay out of my engagement if he can;t approve of it.

I love ddr and i keep unlocking new songs so it's easier to play through to pain. i've also taken up just hopping and bopping around the house to the songs kissy kissy and hall om mig . TOM is almost over and I am active again.

Hey Ladyumbra!!
nice to see you!! I know what you mean, just dancing ... starts you bopping all over the house.. when I listen to the radio .. I just start daning ..its like a bug, but better!

Well keep hopping and bopping hun. It will all pay off...

and You sound like you are a ddr addict ... sounds awesome .. you sound so cheery..

I can understand about the family not improving on engagements ..sometimes the parents don't know when to back off and let you make your own choices and live your own life, no matter what age you are .. totally get you there!

best wishes hun
keep trecking
your rock with that ddr!!
always

Yep I went Awol again and I'm sorry but things went horribly out of my control in RL and I needed to pay more attention to that than I did to the internet. I've been doing some serious soul searching and with stable net time and finances i'm here to stay.

I need this place, I'm capable of getting up and working out in the morning but I need to be able to come here at night and discuss progress with others. I need to be able to know i have a real support network becuase i'm finding that i'm horribly bad at backsliding without it.

I will learn independence and I will learn to be self motivated but for now to get stable again I need you guys to lean on.

Glad you're back :) I love the support here in these forums too. It's the one place I can actually talk about my progress and get positive feedback and don't feel like I'm fighting this battle alone. Plus I noticed offline if you let people know you're trying to make changes they go out of their way to try and get anyone they know is on a diet to cheat. Anyway hope to see you around to chat
 
aaawww honey, im glad your back, it is ll about balance and priorities which is hard to manage, lol...I find too I need this place, if anyhting else just to post my menus adn exercise, knowing it is going to be read helps out alot, lol! How is work going , are you still a window cleaner ?
 
@ douknowjello- oh man people enjoy the sabatoge a lot, cakes cookies anything naked good which is my ultimate weakness. I'll be around for chatting, i'm a chatterbox i am.

@ cerella- hehe you do so well keeping track of your food and of course we read yoru stuff and ecourage you, you're one of the best stick with it people i know. * should really check in on nia*

nope got fired from the window washing job becuase i couldn't keep up with the boys

Got a job wrapping blinds and got fired the second day becuase I couldn't get the wrapping technique down. a technique that everyone else there has been doing literally for more years than i have been alive becuase it was a family run business.

the loss of two jobsin two weeks just crushed me and i went on one hell of a downward spiral, had a few up moments at my con then just sorta deflated and have been sleeping more hours than i've been awake and generally been lethargic. I just had no motivation to go on.
 
Well shit that is no good...I thought you havent been around due to your job, lol.

We should see if you can join our accountability challenege, we have so many ppl crap outta our team. There is really just three of us up agianst like teams of 6, lol...the general idea is that we check in daily to the thread, provide support and post our menus and exercise. We are required to accomplish 180 mins a week (30 a day) but as long as it adds up to 180 a week it dont matter. Each week we get a challenege to all participate in. It is non ellimination. I can look into it for oyu if you thought you might be interested.

Alot of us restart...one baby step at a time:)Plus you have me - LOL

Nia is preggo and hasnt really been around...I really should text her and see what is up with her...
 
I remember nia being pregnant from our last challenge, i was just wonderign if she was still about. she was so good at keeping us in life and staying on trakc herself.

I'd be glad to team up with you again if possible. if not i'll jump into the next challenge that opens up.

my fiance isn't gonna like it but I'm moving the playstation out of the bedroom and back to the living room so i can ddr again. i can do this , it will be slow but I will suceed this time.
 
Yes you most certaintly can, I have restarted so many times it is shameful, LOL...I will email the chick doing the challenege and ask her about you joining our team , we sure could use you :)!!!
 
I have just realized that it is very hard to start off losing weight again when the house is filled with only junk to eat. * shakes head* i at least can get my exercise in but i'm not gonna track food here untill we've done groceries again and i have a fair chance to eat healthy.

Well then, ha ha ha - no better time you tell you about this then :)

Sure! Have her post her stats in your team's thread - she will officially start on Saturday. Make sure you have her go through and read the rules (as far as weigh in days and stuff like that)

So you are in my dear, I will find you the threads and post them for you here.

Our weeks run from Sun - Fri...Sat is always a free day but you do count your exercise if you exercised but dont need to log your food or start the challenege till Sun. Weigh in is either fri or sat but by midnight eastern sat...so 9pm I beleive for our time.
 
:seeya:Hi there, Umbra! Brilliant to see you back again. Sorry you've had troubles as of late! It sure does stink having to work for a living, doesn't it? And relationships are no piece of cake, either. *sigh* Such is life, and we are here to figure it all out!

Glad you are once again making your health a priority. As trite as it sounds, we do seem to grow the most during our hardest times, and it seems like you've had some real whoppers lately. Hang in there! Get back to your daily exercising, toss all that junk food, and you will be well on your way again.

Best wishes from one Canuck to another,
Janice
 
@ cerella, thanks I'm glad to be allowed to have fun with you again ^-^ i'm gonna read through all the info now.

@ janice- yeah i feel it terribly unfair that i gain weight when i'm upset it only makes me more stressed and does nothing for the whole damn cycle. I'm lucky my relationship is going well atm or i'd be hopeless at this point. we canucks shall rule the world with our healthy bodies one day.

i'll be stopping by your journal soon.
 
we have like no groceries in the house becuase somone failed to pick us up to take us to the store this week. hopefully we get some tomorrow or my new diet is gonna go horribly off track.

friday and saturday were not the best days for me food wise but i surived. saturday resulted in the eating of pizza and ordering of a heck of a lot of pop. i drank 1 can of it and had a few slices of pizzamultigrain no extra toppings so not too much damage done there( as of today( sunday) i had two slices and gave the rest as well as the rest of my pop to my fiancee which she gladly took.

once we havegood food in the house i am commited to makign good choices.

stress wise i'm doing pretty good, life isn't overly kidn but it's not throwing bombsehlls at me either.
