WARNING DRAMA AHEAD - this is my life

I m writing day 3 a day late due to a life of drama. Yesterday I woke up in severe asthma did treatment & took some cold meds & went back to sleep. Woke up around 9:30 to both house & cell phones ringing back to back and they wouldn't stop. It was my daughter hysterical sheriffs was @ her door and gave her 15 mins to get out of her apt. (she was fighting an eviction).
Well needless to say I get up upset cause she is so upset and she about 2 hrs away from me by buses. I spend about 30 minutes calling ppl & calling ppl; finally got a phone call back her Godmother & Godsister with 2 vehicles are heading to get them for me (my daughter her 3yr old & daughters girlfriend and her 2 kids)
The girlfriend and her 2 kids are on their way to a shelter now (with my fathers health he cant deal with the caos. My daughter and hers will b staying here prayerfully just for a mth or so.

NOW 2 MY STRESS FACTOR - this is La's mother & we don't c eye to eye on very much YET we are so much alike the worst parts of each other.
I m sooo frustrated and it ain't even been 24 hrs she been here

INSPITE all of this last night I did my BL & fit plus workouts. I m not going to let anything interfere with my new lifestyle. I even did the challenges of course I didn't get to bed until after midnight and then couldn't sleep.

Hubby doesn't know anything going on yet cause he will call me today. Tomorrow he is heading to his program which will be either 90 to 120 days depending on how well he works with them.

PLEASE KEEP MY SANITY IN YOUR PRAYERS.
I had to get that all out now to start getting the house back in order. The dust is killing my allergys we had to put ALOT of stuff in the attic.

DAY 2

Monday, January 04, 2010

Due to the cold and my asthma I didn't go to curves (I ride a bicycle to get there) So I will get my measurements done on Wed.

But I did the bootcamp challenge with modifications due to foot; did the quickfire challenge.

Did 12 mins of the wii Biggest Loser & 10 mins wii fit plus . With the asthma flare up I am taking it slow.

My back & foot are really achy today its gonna b a rough winter. But I will not give into it
I AM NOT GIVING UP THIS TIME,
I will just modify my exercises as needed. My gaol is to b @ least to 225 by the beginning of February. If I meet that goal I will b getting my next tattoo @ that time. I m setting little goals instead of looking @ the big pic I'm looking @ mothly .

Baby steps is the way to go. Good for you. Don't forget to reward yourself somehow when you make a small goal. Keep up the great work! I did Wii Biggest Loser for the first time tonight. How long have you had it? Which trainer do you use? Have a great Tuesday. Report Inappropriate Comment

Good for you dear friend ! ! That's a smart plan - modify the physical fitness routine to fit your current health and keep on doing it at whatever adjusted levels are good and not health-stressing for you. IT'S ALL PROGRESS! We are really proud of you Team Leader!!! HUGS Margrit Report Inappropriate Comment

DAY 1 - BOOTCAMP

Sunday, January 03, 2010

Well today was day 1 of bootcamp. I did the jump start workout although I had to modify it due to the fractured foot n sit through half of it @ least i did it. I also did my quickfire challenge 100 wall push up WOW do my arms hurt

Tomorrow I go back to curves the 1st time since I fractured the foot so when I get home from there I will update my measurements. I will also post my new pic @ that time.

New Years day I went to say a dear friend (annual tradition of mimosa's) who I haven't seen in about 2 yrs due to drama that each of us have in our own lives. She is next 2 my hubby my best friend although we haven't seen each other we talk, text, & email all the time. Well the greatest feeling for me was her reaction to my weight loss. The last time she seen me I was just over 300 lbs. I forget @ times how far I've come.

It was nice to have someone remind me where I was compared to where I m & I m now so looking 4ward to where I m going

THANKS B 2 GOD

What a wonderful feeling that must have been for you when your dear (long time) friend was so impressed with your weight loss achievements ! ! ! ! ! We can admire you from our perspective and be impressed - - but she was able to be fully & thoroughly impressed - - just like you deserved to be completely acknowledged for that fantastic reworking of your life and body. I'm sooooo happy 4-U dearest friend. God Bless You With A Continuation of Your Success Throughout 2010 HUGS, Margrit Report Inappropriate Comment

Glad to hear your friend was there to reinforce how well you are really doing Good Luck in the boot camp challenge. Report Inappropriate Comment

Maga, I am on the boot camp too. That was a good workout but I did have to modify it because I'm too heavy to do such high impact moves like jumping. But even when I modified it, it still got my heart rate up! Good luck on boot camp, and at Curves tomorrow! Report Inappropriate Comment

DID I GO 2 FAR

Thursday, December 31, 2009

Well as this is my last blog for 2009, I m using as my year end confessional.

I made it thru CHRISTmas without my usual depression, but then the 27th hit. December 27th my mom b-day, this is the 4th since she passed on. As La went to her God-fathers for a cpl days, I was on my own for the most part (other then the usual care of my father & listening to his ranting about his no good wife who left him while he was in the hosp 2 1/2 yrs ago). So the depression hit & big time.

Sunday, Decided i wasn't gonna eat my way thru it & I try not to drink when I'm depressed. Sooo I decided to do some year end cleaning & rearranging my room & cleaned out my closet.
Monday same feelings so really did something stupid & cut off just over 2 inches of my hair. Was gonna cut more but had a drink instead.
Tuesday same feelings so I dyed my hair & moved all La stuff out of her room to the family room (my daughter & her other daughter have to stay with me for a mth so)
Wednesday same depression so I frosted my hair. Was gonna cut off more hair but then had a cpl drinks as to relax.
Thursday today I really feeling it really wish hubby was home but not for another 3 to 4 mths (when will he learn)

the good thing is that I m not staying home tonight I m going to my brothers n spending the evening with his family n his wives family

I really need to find another way to deal with depression but @ least my insurance starts tomorrow so prayerfully I b bac on my meds by the end of Jan

Not sure what hubby is gonna think of the new hair. Most ppl think I've lost my mind cause that was the longest my hair been in years.

MAY ALL OF YOUR NEW YEARS B BLESSED

Oh Maga . . . . wish I could have lived closer. Just looking at my old face would have made you burst out laughing!!!! That would end your depression right then & there. and if that didn't work we could have both worked on your new hair style. :) Everything sounded good that you wrote but I strongly encourage you to stay away from the alcohol ! ! ! ! ! That stuff sucks. It's a Depressant! I don't usually get depressed but if I drink too much I get super depressed, so I don't drink anymore at all. Don't need to be looking for extra problems, right? :) Hang in there Sweetie. You're gonna make it. Write to me when you're down. Here's my email: margritmorin@msn.com I'll either make you laugh or something! If you're depressed - - on the Subject line write URGENT so I'll look at that one first. Right now I'm over 300 emails behind (because I've been so busy with Phil and his surgery recovery) . . . . . . . but with the URGENT I will easily spot it and open that one First ! HUGS....
