MWO PROGRAM STARTERS 09 Week 2 Jan 5

One week down everybody! WOW! WHAT A FEELING! So now today is the first day of week two AF. Cannot believe I am even saying that, I hope everyone else is as proud of themselves! :goodjob:

My husband and I were talking last night about how much better we feel. I'm still not getting great sleep, but I still feel better when I wake up; no dry mouth, HO, etc. The last two nights cooking dinner have been great. I didn't have that lost feelin of "where's my glass?" I used to carry it wherever I went in the kitchen - to the counter, to the island, to the stove, back to the counter..never w/o my trusty companion-it's hard to lose such a good friend...sayonara!

Hope everyone has a fantastic start to what will be a fantastic day 8!!

I'm gonna give MYSELF a really good facial! I've got all the products here at home to do it!!!Yeah! And I start a pottery class tonight (was postponed from Tue) and I'm looking at that as a reward for choosing this new path!!!! I can't wait!

CBelle!!!! I can relate to the glass thing!!!! I moved it around everywhere with me in the kitchen...back and forth, back and forth, counter, stove, bar, counter, stove, bar! :H
I can SO relate!!

I'm off to get ready for work! I slept HARD last night...was groggy this am from too much Advil PM...my soreness from working out is almost gone though.

worried

Hi everyone---DAy #8 for me...I gotta say I may need some support today....When I woke up my first thought was "yeah, it's Tursday, no work tomorrow..I can have some drinks tonight"....it'a like for brief moment I completely forgot what the hell I was doing....very wierd...I snapped out of that and began my morning....however, I just read a post that mad me a bit upset....no one is picking my up tonight so I'm driving myself home I'm already worried I will "auto pilot" my way to the liquor store.....I am trying to stay focused...anyway....

Cat and USgirl and Dill--I also can relate to the "carrying of the glass from here to there" while cooking it has become part of my personality! I do however get the same satisfaction with a galss of ginger ale or ice tea or whatever...please send me good luck vibes so I can do that tonight...I'm making Eggplant parm w/ roasted potatoes and sauteed stringbeans...yummy.

DILL ont the recipe board I have a pot roast recipe for the crock pot...check ot out.
Please share any recipes you may have I love the crock pot...

Well Have a great day eveyone....

One week done. I think we are all feeling pretty darn good about that. Pat on the back for everybody!!!

Dill - I looked at that youtube video for medidation and went to his website. I actually downloaded the course. Then, I burned it all to a CD so I can do it in the privacy of my bedroom, instead of the living room where the computer is. Don't want those young boys disturbing me whilst I meditate. I really am going to give it a try. Meditation is something I have never attempted before.

OK - I have to get back to work - spent my lunch break writing on the ODAT thread, so now I am being called back to my lab. Best get there and get some more testing done!!! Endless work around here these days!!!

I am NEW HERE

Just found this today and have devoured every word on the site. I ordered the starter kit and book. But I have a question...how do you get the topamax? and do you really need it...is anyone out there going through this with just teh supplements?? I hope so b/c that's all I ordered. I a m wondering whether to tell my husband what i'm doing...has anyone kept the supplements and program a secret?:

[JAMMS]

MWO PROGRAM STARTERS 09 Week 2 Jan 5

Thank you USMgirl- I was beginning to feel unliked. :upset: Okay...when I get a chance I will post recipe in the "recipe" forum. We really gotta start getting more recipes there...I'm running out of stuff to cook.... congrats on day 8!

Keg- Welcome :welcome: Yes, some here are just taking supps. Topa should be obtained by a Dr. but you can order it online...you'll understand more once you read the book. Support is something that is a HUGE of MWO, no matter what your goal is...my advice..hang around a while post and read...get comfy and confident then let hubby in on your little secret...not a good idea to keep it from him too long. Your gonna need his suuport. That's what I did anyway...funny, I was just posting this same thing to someone else today...somewhere. Good luck and welcome aboard!

Hey Everyone
sounds like everyone is doing well even when temptation knocks at the door. I haven't been to great, feeling sad and down (sorry for myself) so I have to shake it off. Reading everyone's post brings me a little joy; knowing that everyone is so supportive. I did make 6 days but unfortunately let my guard down and my sadness takeover, so I had AL yesterday. It wasn't as bad as in the past but I felt like a failure anyway; ashame of coming here and having to say it. It was a set back but I'm not giving up; I'm not even going to count this as day 1 again because it makes me depressed so I'll just look at it as a bump in the road. Please send positve vibes my way. I'm still putting off this letter I have to write but I will do it between tonight and tomorrow. I see my therapist this weekend.

Hey 1MC, - First off you are not feeling sorry for yourself, you're going through a tough time with this letter and the things of the past, so you Do Not have to shake it off. Allow yourself to feel what you have to feel, it's what it is right now.

Second - It's just a bump in the road and you should never be ashamed of saying anything here, to us. Who are we to judge? Seriously?? You had AL yesterday? We didn't see a thing...and we're not talking...........

Third - I, and all of my very many furry companions are sending BOATLOADS of +POSITIVE+ VIBES!! Feel the love?? Hope the afternoon gets better for you!

Hey 1more ---- as the others said "it's just a bump in the road" ..... I came "this close" to having wine last night .... so I know the struggle .... we all do!

Welcome Keg ---- I'm doing this without the supps this time and have never tried topomax, ... I'm just taking my daily vitamins. It's the support of this site that seems to help me the most. Look forward to getting to know you ... good luck on your journey to conquering AL.

Jamms ---- can you take a slightly different route home tonight ... then you won't be on auto-pilot ... you'll have to pay attention to where you're going! Let us know when you make it safely home without the stop for AL! I'm also worried about tonight ... I feel like celebrating because I've completed my first week AF! .... and we have lots of wine in the house. .... and there's a hockey game on tonight ... and ... and... you know how it is? .. LOL!

MWO PROGRAM STARTERS 09 Week 2 Jan 5
