    Mornin' Muffs--

    I guess it's morning anyway, or almost, at least where I am.

    Another sober night here, although I had a nightmare that I had slipped. :boohoo:

    I'm finding that it is so much harder to do this program without exercise.

    On top of that, my husband thought it would be funny to buy me several bottles of wine from the "Fat Bastard" winery. There were so many other things he could have chosen.

    I'm really getting self-conscious about my tummy. I was effortlesslessly slender, until I reached fifty. I have always had a robust appetite and I ate as much as I wanted. Now I'm a size 6. My tummy looks like a sharpei's (sp?) face. Occasionally, I cannot get even a size 6 blouse to button around my breasts. I didn't know that women developed bigger breasts in middle age:upset: . I hate     it!

    I know that not looking good is not the reason I'm depressed but it isn't helping. I would so like to feel like myself again. I've gained about five pounds since I've been immobilized from my surgery. In light of the world's problems, I feel guilty even writing that I'm unhappy with the way I look.

    Aargh . . . I signed on to wish everyone a happy day and I'm being such a downer. I'm sorry . . . somebody give me a good kick in the butt!

    P.S.

    Does anyone know why Fan hasn't been posting. Is he ok? I've been worried about him. Plus, I could always count on him to make me laugh!

      Morning Eustacia,
      I know exactly how you feel about the 5 extra pounds...something about reaching middle age has us deal with our vanity, I think..and no, it doesn't help, along with the harmones and everything else this time in our lives brings us. I do think we have to be particularly gentle with ourselves during this time.

      I'm doing ok, I went off the topa yesterday because, unfortunately the my stomach has been a wreck for the last three. Honestly, I think it is partly due to stress in dealing with hubby and the prospect of leaving my job..it's all gone to my gut! I have a pain in my lower left abdomen that just won't go away..anyone got a clue what that could be? Anyway, he's on the same page with me, but after the internet connection fiasco, we had a few calls dropped on the cell phone, so we've had to have a few repeated conversations, and that tries my patience..but that is how it goes!

      Have a great day everyone.
      Di

        The great thing about being sober is that you have the energy to exercise. The bad side of that is if you have the energy and no outlet. I got me exercise it this morning but I did something that my bad knee did not like and its beginning to swell. I hope its not so bad that I can't work out tomorrow - with out my work outs I'd go nuts!!

        I have had the "Fat Bastard" wine - it makes a better conversation piece than beverage.

          Oh E!
          I would KILL to be a size 6!
          Here is your "kick" in the rearend!:H

          Just tell the "fat bastard" to stuff his "Fat Bastard" wine!
          You'll feel much better!

          Oh my......did I just say that?

          Lushy will never let me forget it!

          Love, Hope and Peace to all today.

            Nancy you naughty girl!

            I agree whole heartedly about exercise and how important it is for the program...now if I could just find time for the CD's I wish you could listen to them while driving because I have an hour and 20 min commute each way but, I would surely fall asleep at the wheel. That would not be good. Maybe I will buy a portable CD player and listen to them as i go to sleep. Yep, problem solved.

            In the next 15 minutes hubby is hopping on a private helicopter to the Bahamas to fish in a tournament. I am REALLY trying to be happy for him...really
            Sometimes I wonder...."Why is that frisbee getting bigger?"...and then it hits me.

              Precious, your sincerity is oozing out of the computer! :0)
              NANCY!!! Have you been driving that little red corvet (or mazoratti..I don't know cars) around again? LOL

              Well...I JUST EMAILED MY RESIGNATION LETTER OFF TO MY BOSS!!!...I feel like I just jumped off a cliff.. I'm waiting for her to call. It will probably be an emotional conversation..we've been quite close, and I know she won't want to see me go...oops, the phone is ringing...CRAP..a solicitor, my heart jumped...so, that is where I am!!!

                Good morning mods!

                Sometimes, far more can be learned from the disagreeable, than the agreeable.

                But I'd still seek both out.

                Don't you agree?
                **** The Universe
                ___________________________

                Well Universe I would prefer agreeable but often times I guess I do learn from the difficult and disagreeable!

                E, Di is right be gentle with yourself. You will get there. How about you put those bottles somewhere you can not get to and just forget they exist? Next housewarming or whatever party you go to, take them as the present. That may be a way for him to understand you do not want them in the house! . . . Or take them back and get yourself a massage with the refund money!

                Di, that is a lot of stress, every time I am under ungodly amounts of stress and do not take the time to rid myself of them, it affects my stomach first and foremost. Hope you feel better, if you do not think it is the stress, you should go see your doctor sweetie.

                Janie, good for you out walking. I enjoy that and hope to get a bit more of that in soon.

                Lorelei, sorry about your knee, I can relate. If you can put it up and ice like crazy, even if it feels like heat will feel better do NOT heat it as the heat only inflames it more. They make these great little ice wraps for knees, keep it in the freezer and it is no mess kind of thing.

                Smoochy Nancy, you are too funny! LMAO!

                PP, the only difference between men and boys as they say! . . .sigh. I would find it tough to be all happy for him only b/c I was left with all the pieces to hold together. Will he do you the same favor when he gets back??? Hugs and smiles for you!

                Speaking of exercise, my chiropractor has me doing isometric exercises for my knee. He hopes to see me out of my brace as these exercises raise my knee cap up and away from the structure underneath which is part of what the PC ligament is suppose to do when it is there. I am rather thrilled to hear anyone suggest I may get out of this freakin brace at some point in my life!! Why have I not heard of these from the PT or the orthopedic surgeons?

                On the home front I giggle to myself over my husband listing if he has had a beer or not or how many or how much he wants one. I am thinking of the fact that about this time last year I told him I was intent on lowering my drinking levels. His comment was you do not drink that much and he went out and bought huge bottles of my favorite. YEP, E, they do have a tendency to sabotage your efforts when deep inside they don't want to see changes. Just hang in and know you are strong enough to do this with or without his support b/c you have everyone right here at MWO. We love you!

                Great AF and mods programs here! good for you guys!

                Hugs and Love,
                Mary

                  Nancy is on quite the roll these days. You would think she had graduated from my bitch class.

                  E - Sorry you are feeling so down and it sounds like exercise would be a great thing for you. Maybe something low impact like Pilates or something?

                  PP, I am trying to be happy for your husband too. Let's see.....nope not working. Still not happy for him! Hope you will get some girls time somewhere when he gets back.

                  Janie and Lorelei, it is so nice to have you in the mods group. You have both inspired me to get out for a walk today. It is a nice sunny day here.

                  To the rest yet to come today make it a good one!!!

                  MKR, we were posting at the same time. I am so impressed with your hubby going mods. What a great example you have been for him........and please stop describing things with your bones and joints. You know that makes me queasy!
                  I'm really easy to get along with once people learn to worship me

                    Got the printer's phone call while all this was going on and just pushed send on the button.

                    Di - you will feel better! it is part of that disagreement thing. YUK! who wants to go through that though!

                    Lushy, sorry about posting about bones and what not! I forgot it makes you queasy, suffice to say possibly getting out of the brace is some of the best news I have heard physically in a long time!! This sucker is mid calf to upper thigh and a royal pain in the . . .!

                      Hi all!!

                      Posting from NIH (national institute for health) in Bethesda Md. I have been here for 2 days for tests...Don't worry I am fine..just in a study, due to a genetic marker that I have for breast cancer risk (sigh). Anyway, I am finished and waiting to leave in a little while, and found these wonderful computers for our use, so thought I would check in. Hope all is well. I miss you all!!

                      I will be home tonight!!

                        thanks Mary, I do think it's stress..it seems to flare up as a result of emoitional stress..which I would say, I've been dealing with...alcohol, husband, job, yeah, that's about it..oh, and daughter. But everything is coming together today, I just hope my tummy does too. I'll go to the doctor if it doesn't stop by Thursday.

                        Been emailing with my boss...all is calm..we actually may become better friends now that the boss/employee thing isn't in the way anymore. That was part of the stress...I couldn't not tell her what is going on because we typically are very open and talk about everything, so once the decision was made, well, I'm no good at wearing a poker's face, if you know what I mean..that would be stressful, for me!

                              Thinking of you all.

                              Di and E hold on in there. Gypsi, hope you are feeling better. Lushy, memories can be sweet as well as sad. Remember with a smile. Mary, as usual you inspire me.

                              Love to all as always.
