Thread: Strategies for - Getting fit and healthy - one day at a time - Come join us :)

hi everyone, i want to join in on this challenge, so well u may all know, am kinda lazy, but wanna surprise myself this month. my goal is to eat healthily and avoid eating junks, i know i can do and i will!!!(yeah, i have to be strict with myself) so, i will post in my stat, tonite or tomorrow wen i get home...happy new month...
gibson, am sooo proud of u. i have been following ur progress till date. am impressed.

awwww thank you ardun'girl i needed that today! and welcome to our group.

I am feeling crappy about my life today, seams like nothing i do makes any differance (not weight loss wise but other stuff ie. finantially or dealing with hubby's work and health) I just feel like everything i do i might just as well bang my head off the wall as talk to anyone as it seams to be getting me/us no where. My hubby has depression and a bad back, witch he oridgionally injured at work but then re injured almost 2 years ago at home. he was honest and said he injured himself at home and it's been nothing but a fight sence. According to his works insurance company he didn't qualify for short term disability due to not enough dr's info, so we've been back and forth to the dr's so many time i can't even count. and every time the insurance company notifies us of anything it's to tell us they need more info from the dr's........mean while the guy can't do anything without being in excrushiating pain, and the lovely dr's just tent to eather be all like......a. "your just here for drugs" (not said but that's what kind of treatment he gets) b. "suck it up there's nothing wrong with you go get more exercise and drop some weight and you'll be fine" Again not said exactly like that but basically and he can't exercise as if he does he's in so much pain after he feels like he's gonna go crazy. or c. well you suffer from depression so i'm sure that the pain is just due to the depression. I just sooooooooooooo sick of it all. We have no money come in or almost we had to go on welfare (witch there's nothing wronge with but just feel like it's reduclas that we should even have to be on it when he had a good job with benifits and should have just been put on short term disability and then long term. and if the dr's would have done something he would have been back to work over a year ago) I am so sick of being stressed about bills and having no money for anything, and wondering what the next bunch of bad news is going to be. i wake up every day stressed. I also don't think that my hubbys' back pain has anything to do with his depriession as that issue has been pretty good, actually it's been better than it has been in years other than the stresses of money issues. Anyways there's nothing any of you guys can do but i just needed to vent. today is one of thoes days i just wish i could curl up in a ball and sleep till it all passes but i can't and won't but i'm just so sick of everything

Sorry for venting here but just have no one else to turn to and don't know what to do to make our situation better.

I have worked out the last two days, and managed my calories.

I measured myself;
Height: 60
H: 34
W: 27
B: 34
