My best friend Crystal and I are enduring this journey of becoming healthy. It is a daily struggle as many others know, so we have decided to help each other. Becoming healthy is so much more than weight. It is also being able to release tensions, reduce stress, and find a spiritual self. Finding a place where one can vent without worry of ridicule or judgement is difficult to find. If that is what you're looking for, sit down, put your thoughts into words, and feel a sense of relief.

Crys, I had not changed the blog until the other night, because the pink background would no longer load, it would only load black. So, I decided that I was going to just choose a neutral background provided by blogger.
I am just checking in real fast.
B-Meat and egg buritto and some decaf coffee (only 2 spoons sugar and creamer not milk)
Not sure what I am doing yet for the rest of the day, but I am hoping to have a tuna salad for lunch, and then maybe (MAYBE) nachos for dinner. I think the kids would like it. I may split the hamburger meat and make nachos for the kids and a small meatloaf for Jeff and I. We shall see.
Aimee has the new challenge posted, check it out. I know that you are having problems with it, but it occured to me today that if you and John are going in on this condo, you have to do something to make it a livable arrangment. He will respond at some point in time, but in the mean time, you will not feel so stressed, I think that you will see it as though you are feeling a sense of self-gratification. By no means am I trying to push you to do something that you don't want to, but you are getting ready to do one of the biggest things of a persons life, BUY A FREAKING CONDO!!!!!
Talk to you later.
Love you,
Jenn

rainbow blog.....
What happened to the pretty pink back ground? I dont mind change I was just surprised! And last night it was black right? Boy you are keeping me hoping! I dont want to go to work tommorrow :( I am not looking forward to it and I dont know why for sure but I have been dragging my feet really bad with work. Oh well. I do have a longer week planned in front of me to. Grr. But I get a bonus on Friday. I dont know what it will be but I know that it is coming and that makes me happy because I really want to get some clothes. I need some. I am just thinking that I will get mostly pants and a few tops. We will see. I need shoes too.
Anyway good job doing well for today. I did not do so well because you know I had that baby shower today and I ate there more than I had wanted to and i went out to breakfast with my gramma today. So today was a wash and I weighed in at 157.2 today so I ended up losing just a tiny bit. We will see.
Okay I am beat and I am going to just go to sleep now.
Good night my bf...
Crystal
I cant wait to know more about the condo so that I can get excited. I have to schedule the inspection and appraisal tommorrow. Or try.

Better today
Okay, so yesterday went down the toilet. I ended up eating a Rueben sub for dinner and a couple of bites of pizza.
But, today is better. I had lowfat yogurt with raspberries, blackberries and a little bit of grapenuts. For snack I am eating black grapes. Then for lunch I have grilled chicken on baby red lettuce with tomatoes, a small amount of mozzarella cheese and cranberry pecan dressing. I am not sure what we are doing for dinner yet, but we shall see. We did have a lot of pizza leftover as well as lasagna, so which is the lesser of two evils?
I am so excited for you, I know you will get the condo no problems. Way to go.
Okay, I am sure that I did not touch on everything but I was excited about how well I am doing today and needed to post about it. Talk to you later.
Love you,
Jenn

day 6 and year 5
Hey girl....
I am sorry about last night. I went to bed without typing and I laided here thinking about it and I was like ahh I put a sentence on in the morning so it is not a whole day missed.
Guess what the guy accepted the offer on the condo! Now dont get to excited because I dont know if it will be smooth sailing to the closing. THe person that was trying to get it before me had a really hard time. She was using a different loan etc. and had no down payment so she needed down payment assistance and we dont so I dont know what that means. We will see if it goes better.
I am so glad for you that the whole thing with Aimee is helping you. I think that I might buy the book and try it at my own pace because I did not start really at all yet and now I feel to far behind to try you know what I mean? I just dont know at times what I want. You know today is five years for me and john? I didnt know if we would get here and I am not sure what that means seeing as we fought all day and hate each other. See I dont know if we are to far gone to fix anything and I am not sure what Aimee would say and she has not emailed me back and I dont think she wants to go there. I dont know. But I sure am glad that she is helping you. Because I think that Jeff is the kinda of guy that will come around I really do. Let me re read day one and I will see if I can get myself to try....but you girl you have to try. He is worth it for sure.
My eating blah today not all that good.
B egg snadwich
s
L half bagel, half chicken flat bread
S dount
D hamburger no bun, rice, corn
If I didnt have the dount I would say it was good. Whatever. I will post me weight tommorrow but I here you about not wanting to say it if it doesnt change. I get your point. For me I am a little different because posting it with no change embrasses me and there for motivates me to try. girl this last twenty pounds has been here for the longest time so I am not doing as well as you think but I am trying that is for sure.
Thank you for the text earlier I got it in class and then got really busy gab was a monster when I got home and we had to do alot of running around. We looked at a few houses just to get a feel for what it would be like to get a house in this price range and I did not like them at all so I really think that the condo is the right move and like I told you if the shit hits the fan and we really dso throw in the towel I can pay for it myslef and that is the important part I guess I just wish that I did not have to think that way you know.
Gab is getting that molar I told you and it looks so bad. Are you sure this happened to Caleb do you think that they would ever cut it I am afraid...
Okay Bird boy is sleeping over donnas and I am just gonna relax a little. I think House is on tonight and I might just watch that and I will re read the first post from Aimee and re think. I am so glad it is helping you. Maybe it could help me to...I dont know....I am having a hard time with it all....I wish she would have emailed me back.
Bummer.....
Love ya always!

Checking in
So, I am here at work, but nothing is going on right now so I thought I would check in.
First, yesterday was stressful, but in the light of things I ate ok. For breakfast I had a peach cup, no snack, for lunch I had Tacos, but I ate mostly the meat and left the tortilla, and then last night I ate a small helping of Lasagna. Today, however hasn't been as good. For breakfast I ate a package of donuts (300 calories I don't need) and a pineapple cup. For lunch I have some lasagna, so, for dinner I am thinking salad. My weight is steady, and if it goes down at anytime I will post it, but if not I will not because it just stresses me out and puts me in a state of funk.
I am really glad to see that you are doing so well, I know that you can do this. It's only 20 lbs, no sweat. I missed you on here last night. Hope you and the kids are doing ok.
So, how has the whole thing been going in regards to Aimee. I have done them all but haven't gotten a response out of Jeff. Maybe becuase he is just soaking it in. I know though that I can look at him right now and know that he is the person I love. I just hope that I don't lose that the next time we get into an argument. Also, I get the ugly feeling inside of me when he gets upset with the kids. For instance, I was working on homework last night and the baby was very tired and whining, and he would walk up to Jeff, raise his arms up, and cry saying "up." Well Jeff would make a comment like "Of course that's what you want." and sigh. That makes me very...I don't know...anxious, mad, angry, sad. Maybe a mix of them all...I don't know.
Alrighty girlie, I don't think there is anything else. I am doing ok....sick and tired, but still doing ok. I really don't want to be here at work. There is drama with all that right now, but maybe we can talk later. Have a fantastic day.
Love ya,
Jenn
