Hi brenda, so sorry about your siser, i hope she is ok, your sister

needs help, you might want to research what ever medications she is

on, i am sure your going to find that she is taking an ssri that

could be why she is trying to kill herself, that is a side effect of

those medications for some people, your sister may want to look at

getting off the SSRI medicatoins it might help with the suicide

attemps, best wishes for her

Haunted Art of Dennis , WITCHES BREWJust checking in - Sue you

are a source of never ending recipes - but I'm mostly a KISS (keep

it simple stupid) cooker - I can cook well but all that measuring

and trying to convert it to windows gives me a headache, so the only

things I still make that involve multiple food groups are stews,

chili and pepper steak LOL.

> My mom called and my sister tried to commit suicide again last

night - they say she should be ok but she's on breathing machine

now. We go through this with her pretty regularly - she's manic

depressive, bi-polar. I thought she was doing well but then

something came up and I think she felt her back was against the wall

and whenever that happens she does this. So I'll head up to the

hospital soon. I won't deal with this by eating - I will not. So

please say a prayer, thanks.

> I've passed 44 oz so far today. I did 15 on the bike - food's

doing ok - planning chicken and dumplings for dinner w/ broccoli or

green beans. guess I'll try making the chicken in the crock pot and

see how that goes. I'll figure lunch out soon. Still have the dumb

cold.

thanks - she's doing much better - I talked to her this morning - usually at this point she's aggressive and angry and 'medicated' but this time is different - she is alert and compliant, she almost sounds defeated. But she wants me to find her a support group - not the one's the hospital suggests. she said it hit her when she woke up and saw my mom crying and the doctor saying if mom hadn't counted the pills and then called the ambulance she would be dead - she swears she doesn't want mom to find her.

there just seems to be some correlation between the meds given her during surgery combined with the pain meds that does this to her - both attempts this year have been within 24 hrs of surgery.

Today was busy with library and cleaning the kitchen. Needed some detail cleaning. Something was growing in the bottom of the fridge. NASTY NASTY... BUT while I was crouched down cleaning had sometime to think. I gotta FACE reality. Reality is I have been spiralling out of control. YES I have good days BUT the bad days are starting to outnumber. SO then I think WHY bother. Then I say because I feel like ****... So I have to go back to basics. I dont know how many times I have said this BUT I have to. I feel like such a failure. I guess to start over have to redo inventory. I have cleaned the cabinets as well. The worst thing is the kids candy. YES I WILL TAKE CANDY from a kid. LOL Nice to open to a clean out fridge. NOW TO FILL it tomorrow. Any suggestions... Some fruit... Skim milk... I have stocked up on slimfast meal bars. I use them as an afternoon snack. HELPS me from binging. So please bare with me while i restart my efforts. ) :

I hear you - I lost 2 #'s last week and started gaining this week and according to the kid's calendar there's no reason for it other than the stuff I have been putting in my mouth this week. So I really tried to be totally on track today - I ate breakfast and because I'm out of that habit I was STARVING all day Arg! Ended up eating way too many dill pickles trying to fill that spot - did talk myself out of stopping for ice cream (craving out of nowhere). I had a HUGE bowl of salad at lunch - but am still over 2 starches and 2 protein and short 3 veggie, dairy and fruit were ok - way over on water. I thought by committing to going to SC for thanksgiving it would spark me some, so far not enough spark - come on we can do this!

Have you tried having a small snack about 2 hours after breakfast? My blood sugar does funny things in the morning, and I find that if I eat a healthy snack about then it prevents the all day munchies and helps stave off cravings. Just a suggestion. I don't remember which program you are using, but I often eat a trail mix bar then. It has a little simple sugar, some complex carbs and some nuts for protein. That way, it gives me immediate fuel, but also gives continuing fuel over then next 3 hours. I don't have a sugar drop when I eat them. The ones I eat have 140 calories, 4 fat (the good kind), 24 carbs (some simple some complex) and 3 protein.

I am praying for you to get the cravings under control and get on with the program. You are doing great at staying with it!

A. You are never a failure as long as you are still trying. (some nice woman named told me that when I was Re-re-re-re-re-re-re-starting in June.)

B. You may not have made all the progress you wanted to, but you have prevented yourself from gaining all that you would have if you weren't working at it at all.

C. You know how it works. You know that your body does have to bend to the laws of physics, so you know it is possible.

D. Low fat turkey, ham, or chicken for quick proteins, salad stuff, interesting vinegars to make dressings, stir-fry veg, LF popcorn (helps with carb cravings), Nature's Own lite bread,

interesting fish for dinner (I like Tilapia), Sweet potatoes (not canned; great baked with a little salt or all fruit apricot), .......

E. I am praying for you, and I KNOW that you can get back on track! Best wishes!

>15:20 on the bike - target heart rate avg 117 (about 65% for me). I also got 15 minutes done with the BBB.

Great workout, !

>baby steps - I'm on my way <GBG>

Same here. I have to treat exercise like a medication I *must* take if I want to keep my BP down. It's finally back down to 120/72. Phew!

So far I've exercised 4 days in a row - a record for me lately. Sunday was just a stretching tape, but Monday was , yesterday was BlastOff, today was Silver Foxes, and both yesterday and today I also did a half hour on the treadmill. It was slow going - if I bumped the speed faster than 1.5 mph I started to gasp for breath and break out in a coughing fit, so I'm taking it slow and steady and building my tolerance back up again. Once this flu residue leaves it should be smooth sailing again.

It's funny how I can walk up to 5 mph for a Sansone video, but if I try do it on the treadmill it's so much harder! Marching in place is a lot less strenuous than walking, that's for sure! That's why I'm also adding the treadmill time in along with an aerobic video. I've *got* to get back in shape.

At least I'm ending the year a few pounds less than last year - 3.5 to be exact. I finally broke the 260 barrier and am back in the 250's for the third time this year. I'm determined *not* to go back up again but to continue going *down* towards the 240's again. It's been 3 years since I last saw those numbers, and then it was only for about a month before the weight crept up again after I hit that plateau.
