More Thursday ramblings

So I am back to watching what I eat, exercising more and being more aware of my portion sizes. It's so hard! LOL! I sit at a desk all day and do nothing but snack......so I am more aware of how much I am snacking on and WHAT I am snacking on. I know there are surgial procedures out there that can help, and I am so happy for those that have had any gastric or lap band....honestly. I don't know if I could do it because I am deathly afraid of any surgery!!! So I am going to do this the natural way and see how far it gets me. Wish me luck!!!

Today didn't start off to a good day. I came into work facing some not so nice emails from some people that I thought were friends. All I can say is that it's their loss, not mine. :)

I have a couple more swaps to finish this weekend. It feels like my life story is all about swaps!!! I did get some great ATC's back from a yahoo group swap, and the next batch i'm working on is Beatlemania and those are due the 24th for my other yahoo group.

Math is going good, I have a B......it'll soon be time to register at ASU before I know it!

My niece just got accepted there for fall. She is so happy.. I'm glad ur doing well I know a while back you were writing about it..
I'm sorry to hear about your
Nasty Grams that's what I call them anyways... I hope things work out.. I don't want to pry just making a statement!
I agree on the surgery you really have to watch it I am deathly afraid because so many people have had to go back but yet there is people that have had success and not gone back.. Me I'm to afraid.. April you can do it it's hard.. I am fighting the same battle.. I have lost 34 lbs this year and I still eat what I want it's all about portion and Try to cut bread out me myself ugh I love bread but it's help..Also Soda diet or not is bad bad.. Try to stick with Ice tea or water.. I wish you luck... I hope your friends things work out for you.. Well I'm off the net for a couple days.. Yup beleive it or not I am going to card classes tomorrow.

I am sorry you had to get some Nasty grams from people, that is never fun and my heart goes out to you! I am also watching what I eat as I tend to go straight after the sweets and the breads. I have to be very careful because I am borderline Diabetic. I started doing WW's and I am hoping it helps me to learn to eat healthier yet where I can still eat what I want just to watch portions and in moderation. So I wish you luck! I also have a fear of surgeries. Everyone in my family tells me to get my tubes tied, that it isn't that big of a deal but I seriously will let my fear win and my hubby can go get it done as he has offered.
You definitely sound busy in those swaps you participate in. I would do more if I could afford to do them all the time but right now with trying to buy a house, I can't. I did promise Natalie that I would participate in one of the card swaps soon, so I will do as I promised. Congrats on the B! Way to go, math has always been my hardest subject until I went to college and had a teacher that taught algebra in a way that I could understand it. :) Way to go for you!

I am too. I only signed up to get the point finder, I know bad but after I had Morgan(my MIL gave me the little points slider thing) I was really good at sticking with it. I can even without going to the meetings I just have to re-learn to control my cravings. Yeah, I took college algebra twice as well as in high school. I would really appreciate borrowing them. Most of all I am in need of recipes! That would be super kind of you!!! I even convinced Ehren I need someone to help me this time around and he is doing it with me and the bugger get more point available to him and can still eat all his junk and snacks!

Stick with it April, you can do it! I just had cookies after my breakfast, so I need to be careful too. I'm great about exercising on vacation but find it so hard to do during work days. Portion control is key, and in the beginning it's tough but once your body and stomach adjust it gets easier. Drink water and chew gum!
I too am against the surgery route...though not for fear. I just couldnt' imagine not being able to totally pig out on Thanksgiving or another such day! Splurging now and then is key. Keep your head up and hope no more nasty grams arrive!
