Sorry GG for that interruption last night!

BTW, did I tell you everything got approved and that the American Red Cross (that foundation I was referring to) is on our side for the benefit/fund raiser? I will post more over into my journal so I won't congest your journal up!

Have a great day!!!

Hey that's ok. Happens all the time.

I usually go to sleep around that time anyway, though, so keep that in mind! haha!

I'll go read up about the ARC stuff. yay!

Good morning Ivy,

I hope you are feeling better today...I am doing well. Cold gone away? I won't bother asking you about the other stuff, I said before it's none of my business, but I will hope that things are getting better (?) Never mind, I know, it never gets better.....what am I doing....I will not get into these types of conversations...

Either way, I hope you are well and that you have a great day

I'll be by later once things slow down here again....

The new Ivy came home (without any pit stops), put on her sneakers, and did her jumprope HIIT workout, and then sat down and had her healthy dinner just as she'd planned.

The news is still crappy and I am still angry and sad and generally BLAH, but I have this really weird inner peace kind of feeling I never had in the past in situations like this. When I said that the biggest change in this journey is coming from within, I wasn't kidding.

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, way to go Ivy!!! You go girl!

Yet, sorry to hear you had bad news..but you'll be better able to deal with it now because YOU are ok!

Thanks Velvet! It's tough, and I'm SO tempted to dive into a bag of oreos or something, you know, to "feel better" but I know something like that isn't a solution. Kinda like an alcoholic drinks to forget his/her troubles... they're still there when the booze wears off!

Getting in shape has been my 12-step Recovery Program for emotional eating.

I just wanted to let you know when I need re-motivation I come to your journal, for real.

Hahaha! Hey, whatever works for you!

Glad my psychosis is helping SOMEONE!

Thanks Jill... Anything I can do to help, let me know!

I go to you folks' journals for motivation, too. Just knowing other people are working hard to achieve their own goals, and everyone sharing their successes and pitfalls. It keeps me in check!

naturaltan · 09-23-2004, 01:08 PM

I'd like to share my success and pitfalls if I may. I haven't been to the gym in two weeks ... haven't lost any weight, nor have I gained any weight. I have had my share of beers ... things are good ...........

.... or is that bad?

Hahahahahaha! Thanks for sharing. I don't know if that's good or bad. I mean surely you've been doing SOMETHING that has kept you from gaining any weight. Maybe a little extra cardio?

Your good metabolism is there somewhere. You just gotta go wake his ass up and whip him back into shape! Show him who's boss. YOu know...

	Prohibition goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes.
