 I have had a lot going in my life with caring for mom and a hubby who infuriates me not to mention my adult sons!!  I started on estrogen pills last week for help with pre menopausal, so there will most likely be a weight gain!  There was last time 60 pounds in 3 months so I am hoping for better this time!  My weight goes up 5 pounds and down 5 pounds stuck!  I try to get the gym as much as I can but still would like to go more!  On the up side of things I start college again after a 3 year break so I am excited about that!  At first when I applied for a grant I was turned down because of the income factor!  My son used the same amount and he qualified so I was happy for him but bummed for me so I thought I would try a loan which the hubby had a fit about because he wants to save.  I can see his point but anyway.  So when we went to the school to verify all this I question why he (the son) can get it and not I, they redid the application and made some changes and sure enough I qualify.  OK so that is it for me!  Oh and I was given some surprising news my hubby is taking me to Catalina for our 22 wedding anniversary the end of August I guess we will be there about 3 days so I am really looking forward to that!

Well got to run, talk to you all later have a great weekend

Well it has been a while since I last wrote.  I have not been in the best of moods lately and come on for a minute and leave again with out blogging or answering anybody blog.  Rest ashured I have now read all those in my scribe section and although I did not respond to them I see where you are at.

rn

OK so I have not lost or gained I am staying at 184, mostly because I have not worked out when I think about it and plan it just slips away by something else that takes more time or my lack of wanting to miss my favorite TV show I know lame excuse.  Tom has show up which is expected.
 Mom is very confused still not knowing where she has to go on what day (appointments) and what they are going to do.  We fight with her about PT cause she is in pain and we try to tell her if she would move the limbs like she is supposed to the pain wiill go away.  She always starts with I cann’t or I am not going so I get mad and a fight breaks out.  I don’t like being hard on Mom I just get frustrated with her. 
OK so even though I have not lost or gain weight I have lost inches 2 in the abs and 2 in the thighs I increased an inch in the bust area.  I am eating OK some junk food but mostly lean meats and veggies yesterday for Mother’s Day I had my mother- in-law over for a BBQ my hubby BBQed the steak got a little well done but the chicken was perfected (he never BBQed before) we had potatoe salad I made and Macaroni salad as well and baked beans and deviled eggs. My in-laws brought a thing of banana nut bread and we had tea and lemonaid.
Hubby cleaned the house while I made the salads and went to the store.  The one son helped out in the kitchen and the other half way clean the bathroom while the other one sat on the computer.  I told the boys last night they had to clean the kitchen and by gally my hubby ended up doing it with the exception of the youngest son (20) gathering the last of the dirty dishes and running the dish washer.  So now you are up to date on me.

Hi all I don’t usally do this but a rock group known as the Monkees (very popular when I was young) were denided the honor of beeing in the Hall of Fame, the reson a person has said they did not play the own instruments or write their own songs.  Music greats like Brian Wilson (Beach Boys) and Bobby Hart (Boyce and Hart) these are groups in the 50’s had signed a hard copy.  I am asking anybody who liked the Monkees and thank they should be in the Hall of Fame go to www.mykrth101.com and sign a pettion to help get them in.

Well tomorrow will be a busy one for me Mom is comming home from the convelsant/rehab.  At first it will be difficult she is on Moriphine and very confused I have to get her off of it.  They will be sending in a nurse 3 days a week for a few hours to help out!  She will have out patient rehab and of course her dialysis 3 days a week.  It will be easier on me once she gets her barrings, and as for working out I have decided that after my huubby gets home from work and we eat I can go then to workout!.

rn

It seems I have not had time to do that with going to see Mom and running everybody back and forth to work.  I don”t mind really because they all need to work.  I  told the boys they are going to have to have to learn to drive rather they want to or not.  Even if thy never drive in their life atleast get their liscense.  Hubby is going to fix his car maybe this weekend start on it we have to have money and the utility bills keep having to be paid and they are very high right now.  With the boys working they are going to take up some of the slack!  And for the workouts I was thinking I will never get another workout in but then I realized that it was just negative talk and that is when I decided I can go after dinner I will just have to miss my TV programs.

Well finally after 21 days I made it back to the gym!  Thats right 21 days.  Well with everything that has been going on I had not been to the gym but today I said this is it I had my son put the bags in the car and we went to see Mom for about an hour and then went to workout.  She looked good today I will some some time with her tomorrow and go workout tomorrow night after I pick John up from work at 7:30  I will not watch dancing with stars but I can catch bachlor and then on Tuesday I will watch the elimination round.  I plan to stay OP tomorrow and be good to myself.

rn

About the workout today it was nothing big really did stairmasters for 5 min (that was an accomplishment) and 10 min on the bike, then headed for the pool sat in the hot tub for a bit and then 10 laps of swimming and sat in the sauna for 10 mins and went home.  I know it doesn’t seem like much but the main thing really was not to workout workout but to just relax and buddies that is what I did.  I had promised myself to lose 10-15 pounds before my BD but life throw me a cruve ball and it did not happen so I am banking on 25-30 pounds lost by the end of August for my 22 wedding anniversary.  So now buddies for you I wish you much luck on this weight loss journey.

Hi all after reading Catrina’s blogs the last few days have inspired me to go forward and stay OP.  She is an amazing buddy and we can all take a page from her book on commitment.  Life has it’s ways of getting us down and so I hope to be like her.

rn

 Went to the Dr. yesterday for the checkup and I got on the scale I was down 4 pounds.  I have not changed my ticker because it doesn’t reflect what the scale said, but never the less down 4 pounds,  I don’t really know how I did it but I can do better.

rn

Yesterday when I was at the Dr. I was saying my back was killing me, well the Dr. trainee worked on my back I ask if he felt some knot;s his answer was some knot’s wasan understatment!  He said that every muscles in my back was so tense and I carry to much weight on my shoulders.  Well he was not taking about physical weight he was taking about mental stress. 

rn

I woke up this morning and decided although I have a lot to do I am going to do what I can and forget the rest.  I have to carpet clean the house, dust, wash the woodwork and do the yard so to be prepared in hopes that Mom will be able to come home soon.  Now I ask the boys for help and two of them are working the one saisd he would help but he is real tired when he comes home.  He always helps out that is the one who workout with me!  The other thinks just because he works he does not need to do anything around here the other one flat out said no way I ain’t doing i!  Hubby works from 6 in the AM to 4:30 and is sick has been for over a month and won’t go to the Dr.,so that leaves me. 

rn

Also I have to send time at the rehab/convelasent cent with Mom so she won’t be lonly, while I was there I noticed her foot was swelled and I called the nurse I thought she was not getting her water pills which she take to help prevent CHF, but the Dr. came in and looked said it iwas just the foot and leg where they operated on the hip and as it healed the swelling would go down.  I am going to call our family Dr, today and ask him if that sounds right and then tomorrow they are taking her to see the Dr. who operated on her for a check up. So like I said I will do what I can and forget the rest.

Hope you all have a great rest of the week and even better weekend.
