Just an update.

[Nina Kay]

Hi everyone. I just wanted to check in after being away for a little while. I've been moving and I just got my internet hooked up on Monday afternoon and then it wouldn't work until tonight.

I haven't been doing so well with my eating and I know that alot of it has to do with the fact that I haven't been able to be here and I haven't been able to go to my OA meetings for a while now. I'm gonna try to go to one tomorrow night, but I won't be certain till it happens, since I'm so tired in the evenings and I'll have to drive an hour to get there now.

I don't believe that I've gained any weight, but I know that I haven't lost any. I am having to add popcorn to my list of trigger foods and also chip dips. I don't have trouble with chips unless I have some dip and then I definitely can't eat just one. I'm still abstinent from sugar, aspertame, & sodas. My hypoglycemia has really been giving me trouble since I started babysitting again and moving at the same time. I feel that I'm still trying to eat healthier and space my food, but I think that it's mostly because I'm going steady physically from early in the morning until the evening. My body just uses it all up faster and I'm so much tireder.

Well, so much for the update. I'm going to sleep in my chair so I have to get off of this computer and get to bed. I'll try to check in tomorrow. I hope that each of you are hanging in there and doing good.

Nina, it's great to hear from you. I'm glad to know that you are OK. I am sure that once things settle down a little more and you get thing back into a routine, you'll be back on track with these things also. One step at a time, don't try to do it all at once.

I sure miss you around here.....there hasn't been anyone to talk to. Of course I have been a little occupied myself, so it's a good thing it's been slow in here...lol

Lots of hugs and glad you are back online.

Hey Nina,

I am really glad to hear from you. I have been thinking about you a lot. I'm glad you are settled in. Any kind of change/transition needs time. Especially for us women. We handle change differently than men, even if it is good change. As for the eating, obviously if you have been constantly moving around with moving & such, your body is going to require more food to keep your energy up & your body up and running. Do not be too hard on yourself for that one. It is also hard sometimes during a transition period to be as disciplined with ourselves. Everything is not as easily ready & routine during that time. As for the popcorn, have you tried Orville Redenbacher? The one that you have to pop yourself in an air popper is whole grain. You can eat a lot of it (as long as you do not add the butter). I choose to use the fat free butter spray on mine. Everything will get better again once you are fully settled. Also, GREAT JOB on staying clean of the sugars!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone,
I'm back again. I did finally get completely moved out of the other house. Most things we put in storage for when we find some land and a home. I'm at my old house and we're kinda camping out in the upstairs while I use the entire downstairs for my Daycare. I now have 3 full time babies and 2 part-time babies plus my 4yr.old grand-daughter comes after 11:00 from Pre-K. I'm having alot of fun with this, but I got sick with a very bad cold and 3 of the babies had it the same time as I did. It felt like we were swimming in a germ pool. I did continue to do it everyday, but it was so hard. I spent most of my time wiping noses, washing hands and disinfecting. This weekend I was determined to use to rest & try to recover, but I still feel awful. I'm hoping that I'm not getting a sinus infection now. Well, enough of my physical health review. I just wanted you all to know why I haven't been here. I hope that I'm back here now regularly in the evenings, but One Day At A Time for me. So we'll see. Thanks for all of your responses and encouragement. I really appreciate each of you. (((((((((((((((Loving Hugs)))))))))))))))))
