UPDATE

How is it that it is already half way through January and I have accomplished nothing?

I signed up for another session of ww but not sure why as I am not committed to the program.

I have not been exercising and I could give you a whole list of reasons but I won't.

I had another Dr. appointment and my cholesterol was even highter so now I am on Lipitor.

our bathroom re-model is taking forever.

It is COLD here in Illinois.

Problems continue with my child's behavior.

I went to all day scrap and I did not get that much done because I was unorganized and unprepared.

I am eating a lot of potato chips

I spent most of this last weekend cleaning our sun porch and basement, both are disasters. We have too much stuff! I want to just rent a dumpster and fill it up.

I am very busy at work with a couple of projects.

I am frustrated, depressed, obese, lonely, sad and pathetic. I have so much good in my life but I cannot see it at times because it is masked by other emotions.

I have weigh in today and we have a counseling appointment on Friday. I had intended to go to Bella's school and observe this week but with no school today for MLK day and no school Thur and Friday last week, I was not able to arrange days with the teacher. We will see. I believe my husband is a reluctant participant in the counseling and sometimes even in our lives and I do not know what to do about that.

One of my co-workers Husband out of the blue asked her for a divorce and my other co-worker is pregnant with her second child (she had a miscarriage last year.)

My husband thinks we should go to church but when the form for counseling ask if we were religious he said no. I guess I think we are religious. I may not be faithful, but I am not faithless.

We looked at taking a vacation to AZ during spring break but decided we probably could not afford to, we may spend a few days in Milwaukee.

We need a new computer at home or else I will have to do our taxes by hand again as I cannot add turbo tax to our old computer as it does not have enough memory.

I am overwhelmed!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Welcome 2009.

At my last weight watchers meeting I weighed 204.2 pounds. I actually think that is about what I weighed last year on January 1st. It is progress from when I started weight watchers in the fall. While I had hoped to lose more by now I have to admit I have not worked on it as hard as I could. I really have not counted points or exercised the last few weeks, but I will try to do more in January. I think I will sign up for the next session of WW at work too and see how that goes. I really think the best thing I did for myself in 2008 was to go on an anti-depressant. I am really feeling better. I had a hard time getting into Christmas this year. I am not sure why but it all turned out ok in the end.

I spent New Years Eve at home with Scott and Bella, my two favorite people. We made nachos for supper. We watched a few movies, Bella and Lady fell asleep on the couch for a while. Scott's mom called to wish us a happy New Year at 11:00. They were going by eastern time. We made it to midnight. We all had our hats and leis and noise makers and those confetti poppers, which were great fun but made a big mess! We had champaign and then went to bed. New Years day was very uneventful. We slept in, I watched the rose parade on HGTV (I would love to go to this parade sometime). Later Bella went to play at her friend Angela's house and Scott and I went to Menards to look for a medicine cabinet, a towl bar and to look at tile, we also got some more insulation for the garage. We then went out for Gyros and back home. I know it was not real exciting but that was our start to 2009.

Hope you had a good one.
