Oh that was CUTE!

My Halloween was pretty uneventful. I worked. Came home. The kid and I watched The Addams Family and Gremlins. Last year we got zero trick-or-treaters so I didn’t buy candy this year and guess what? Kids came to our door! I felt bad but oh well. I guess maybe next year I’ll get a small stash of Tootsie Rolls (which I personally…[Read more]

Nothing really. My digestive system has been in an uproar since we went to Baytown last weekend. I stuck to my eating plan (much better than I had hoped) and was able to get through the weekend without eating anything off my plan. I have no idea what’s causing this. However, my entire system has been off this week. I’ve had severe pain issues and…[Read more]

I think my body is starting to turn on me. (Starting???)

I woke up with a stiff neck and shooting pains in my jaw and forehead. I’m just really sick of feeling crappy!

I am going to take this as a sign that I need to do better with taking care of myself. So far all I’ve had today is a slice of wheat bread w/ peanut butter. I do need to go get…[Read more]

Ok so I’ve been out of the loop. I’m so sorry!

What’s been going on with your eating?

PARTY DAY!

OMG. It was a long day. A tiring day. But a good day.

My baby girl had such fun with her friends. Not all the family she invited (and who RSVP’d) showed up, but you know what? That’s life. We still had fun.

But I feel safe saying this here.

I AM SO GLAD THE PARTY IS OVER!

My anxiety leading up to it was off the chain, but then once…[Read more]

Yes…I get that feeling! I’m going to post in the Facebook group to remind folks that the forum is here! (That’s one of the reasons why I was initially hesitant to start a FB group. I thought it might kill the forums. I guess now I know my sense about that was probably right.)

As for me, Saturday was one of those days where I mostly vegged. I…[Read more]

You are so committed, Robin!

Yesterday was a great day for me. I went to church and we had a beautiful Reformation Sunday service. Afterward my church did Oktoberfest and I had a brat (no bun), sauerkraut and a little potato salad. From there, I basically hung out at home until it was time to take my daughter back to campus. The weather was super…[Read more]

Yes, and no matter how much I tell myself to relax, or that it doesn’t matter, my body says otherwise. I totally get it. I hope you find relief soon.

Ok so your post was spooky because it’s EXACTLY what I’m experiencing. Things that would not have stressed me out before do now. Things that would have only been slightly stressful before are off the charts. Most days I want to hide in bed but unfortunately my job isn’t having that.

It’s a hard thing to explain to people and even though you…[Read more]

I’ve tried different meds for depression/anxiety, with various results.  From talking to other people, I’ve heard what works for one person doesn’t work for another.  I tried Zoloft 3 years ago, and i gained about 25 lbs, so I went off it. Earlier this year, I tried Celexa and felt ok as far as depression/anxiety, but had bad headaches every d…[Read more]

I’m home again (YAY!) but am very tired and hurting from the bed we slept in for two nights and riding in the car for most of two days. I only got my liquids in on one of the three days (riding in the car and drinking lots of liquids don’t really mix well). So today I’m really concentrating on drinking lots and lots. I have my steps done (planning…[Read more]
