Cora's diary

Today - I did better!
shake
str chz

shake

6 quik taters
3 chik nuggets
2 fish sticks

Ok - not a great diet, but you know I haven't been able to eat in the last few days.


We are going for the refinance. It looks very promising!
 
Dont ever be ashamed of being afraid or being upset or even angry...Your body & your mind has been through so much & you are obviously very strong....but you really need to tell your H about it and how you are feeling....you have been through a battle that many of us are lucky enough NOT to have to endur. I watched a friend struggle and lose a battle very much like yours at the age of 16...so I remember what it did to her and her family. The fact that you are trying to get yourself healthy & strong & deal w/ all the financial stuff is unreal! I am so glad you found a way to avoid bankrupcy...and im glad you and your H have talked things out & have a clearer pic of what youve been trying to shoulder. Its alot Cora...Dont take on too much... its like a boat ya know...too much water and you start to sink. Ive tried to deal w/ things so my H doesnt have to and until Ive been really honest w/ him our marriage always struggled because I was frustrated & overwhelmed..but never said why. Thanks for sharing w/ us... Your strength & perseverance helps us! I know it does me!
 
Hey you, so sorry to hear your struggling! I know life can be so very hard sometimes. I am going through a bad time financially too, but what can you do but keep going? Things will start looking up for you, just keep your head up. Think about those poor people in lousianna and mississippi right now. You've got it soo good!
 
Glad to see you ate a liitle more than what you have been....When you are under stress you need to make sure you eat. Its worse if you dont.....
Everything happens for a reason....though sometimes we never understand why....God doesnt give us more than we can handle.....Keep writing in your diary....dont keep feelings in.....eat and stay hydrated.......Also this was in my fortune cookie the other day and I believe it to be true....." if you can shape it in your mind, you will find it in your life".....
 
shake shake shake senora...shake your body line... shake shake shake senora ...shake it all the time.. .
sorry... couldnt help myself....
ok ..everybody...Conga line!
 
lmfao!!!!!!!

oK.......I woke up at 6am to get the kiddo's off to school. I brought my car to the garage to have new tires and an inspection done. Thankfully the tires were given to me, because mine would no have passed inspection. Then I worked 4pm - 8am (or should I say...I am working.....) So needless to say my eating schedule is all messed up.

I tried taking a couple of lil cat naps during the day on Friday.

I had a shake around 4pm

Around 9pm
2 slices white bread
3 very thin slices of lowfat swiss
3 slices of buffalo chicken deli meat
1 srv peanuts

Around 2am
1 srv peanuts

about a gallon of water.

Saturday when I get home from work I will go to bed and sleep most of the day, then we will be going to the annual labor day party at the end of our road. I will play volleyball, chase the kids and dance. I will eat too, but I will make good choices. We roast turkeys in the ground yummmmmmmmm. Plus we have a potluck.

My biggest accomplishment so far is that I have not had any potato chips! YAY! I have an unopened bag at work, and I haven't touched it. I had an opened bag and I threw those away.
 
Good for you Cora! That is always an accomplishment when i can rule out over my food cravings...or sometimes just having them in my space is a problem..i dont even have to crave them or be hungry. Gotta love it!
Have an awesome time at the party... I love stuff like that!
 
OK yesterday. I got home from work around 840AM, got in bed around 9, slept til about 2. Got up, took a shower and got ready for the party. I didn't have any other shakes yesterday.

For supper I had.......

(now remember this is potluck-----and I took very little of what I took)
Macaroni Salad
Green Salad
Mac&Cheese
4 meatballs
Turkey
2 celery sticks
Pasta Salad
7-8 tortilla chips with salsa & sourcream

Then I had a slice of apple pie & a brownie! (shame!)

Now you know I haven't eaten much this week due to shot nerves, so I don't feel quilty about what I ate.

I had 3/4 of a wine cooler & and about 64 ounces of water.

We danced and had a good time. For the most part I was able to forget about my problems and enjoy myself.
 
Sounds like you had some fun!!!....the dancing and chasing the kids should help burn some of that pie and brownie intake!...By the way, what kind of chips do you usualy eat?...are they your weakness?
 
Chips are by far my weakness. Any kind of chips. I avoided all of the chips last night except the few tortilla chips.

My hubby wouldnt do it if I paid him! But I dont expect him to, he works way too hard.
Love the conga line! Reminded me of Beatle Juice!
looks like youre doing good cora! Keep it up!
 
Yeah it reminded me of Beetlejuice too, and I LOVED that movie! Hubby works one job, I work 3. He works 40 hours a week, I work 60. He does such a good job cleaning too. Me...I have to look at everything, read everything, blah blah blah. Besides right now......my mental state over money, I probably would have had a panic attack trying to do the groceries. Spending money right now, freaks me out! He is a good guy......not gonna trade him in just yet.
 
Cool! thats what i was shooting for... BeetleJuice...very good ladies...ok how about this number...

...ok just kidding..no showtunes here! Im glad to see things w/ hubby are good... good for you guys. Marriage is such a haul! I love my man too... even if ive contemplated killing him a few times ;-D
