Hey all,

Hope all of you are having a good week. Myself......well, it's been a bit busy for me the last week and half. I wasn't able to get to the gym all last week due to working long hours. And this week doesn't look any better. I did try to do some cardio here at home, but it's not the same as I get there.

My food hasn't been much better. I have been munching way to much on the wrong stuff and very late at night. My head says one thing and my hands do another, lol. This week I have been trying to get ready for our vacation to Laughlin, where we are going to be spending time with my boyfriend's dad and step-mother. I get along with them but I feel on guard all the time. Well anyway, I'll get through just fine.

Hey Pony -

Like you always tell me, tomorrow is a new day . There is always a tomorrow, thank goodness!!

I have been doing really well the last 1 1/2 wks. with my eating. Last night was bad but I was celebrating my bday with friends. Today back on track and I have been working out at the new place. It is called Action Fitness, it is like Curves, and let me tell you it is a heck of a work out. I have my first appt. tonight with the owner/trainer to work with me, I am excited about that.

Pony - why do you feel on gaurd with your boyfriends parents? that could be a trigger to your eating, it probably would be for me.

Take it slow, and don't beatyourself up, we need your spirit around here.

(((POny))) hugs to you my friend.

Pauline,

Thanks for the support, I've just been feeling a bit on the down side lately. I am a firm believer in that there is a tomorow, but sometimes I feel like all my tomorrows are just like "today", you know! lol

As far as his parents go....it's really just his dad. I just don't feel like I can be myself. It's hard to explain. Maybe it's because he's always on a guarded behavior with his own dad. He just doesn't seem relaxed around his dad as he is at home. I just find it strange......that's family and you should feel comfortable around family. In theory anyways. No it really doesn't have anything to do with my food issues. I had them long before I met him. Also they live to far away and we only see them once a year.

Nope, the food issues are in my own backyard, sort to speak LOL

Glad you had a great B-day and that you're enjoying our new workout program. Keep it up!!

been busy this week not coming to visit. so here i am. pony, i understand that uncomfortable feeling. my boyfriend's mom is great. it's his aunt i feel uncomfortable with. it always seems like she's just not liking me. i can't really put my finger on it. i just know i don't feel like myself when i'm around her. thank god we only see her a couple of times a year.

pauline, glad your birthday was a good one. and that the gym thing is working to your satisfaction. it's motivating and exhilerating.

i've had an interesting week. i have a friend who is totally psycho right now. she had surgery on her neck and has been housebound. the cabin fever has got her just being an idiot.

then my sister who is also my roommate ticked me off yesterday. she started bitching at me about crumbs on the counter while i was in the middle of making lunches. the thing that really irked me was the fact that i am the one who does 90% of the total housework in that place. and the few times she gets off her tuch to do something i most certainly don't want to hear from her. so that just did a number on me and we are still not talking and we work together too.

whatever i'm not sorry for getting mad. when someone can match the amount of work i do around the house they can complain. until then if you see something you dont' like CLEAN IT UP is all i have to say.

so that is it for me. i'm off tomorrow cuz i'm leaving for Minneapolis next week. so i have a couple of hours left and then it's the weekend for me. whoo hoooo.

i have a meeting on Saturday that i love. it's a once a month meeting up at this lake campground about an hour from my home. it's a lot of fun. it's the first one of the season. that's it girls. love you. have a good one.

Hey everyone,

You know I go through tons of emotions and feelings when it comes to family, whether it's mine or my other halfs. It's not that he (boyfriends dad) doesn't like me, because I think he does.....and he treats me very nicely. It's just his demeaner...the way he is. And I know that my boyfriend has tons of issues sounding his relationship with his dad. And they are his issues, but it's hard to ignor when it spills over into your own personal space....you know! But more and more as the years are going by I let out a little more of myself around them...lol I don't kow how well that goes over but....OH well!! I am also living in the shadow of two former wives, which is the pitts. Their baggage keeps coming up in my face and that's unacceptable to me, so I do let it be known. Actually I can be a rather outspoken person sometimes, which also sometimes when need be......
Does tend to cause friction between my boyfriend and I, and friction in the home is one thing that I don't like much. AAHHHHH!! I know sick minds.

Well anyways, Pauline, I must admit that you could be right about the food thing, at least for this week. It has been on my mind and I haven't been doing very well with that issue, plus I have been so busy with work that I have not made it to the gym at all this week or last. That makes me feel frustated that I have not worked out.

Well this time tomorrow I will be on my way to vacation, and I need one, so I hope all of you have a great Easter weekend and I'll let you all know when I am home.

Hugs
