Funk

Oy, hello.

First, lemme say thanks for the comments and emails. . . Funny how the world works. The last week or so I've been thinking about everyone and EP in general ..and the total lack of attention I've been paying my blog. And then, this morning for some random reason my inbox was flooded w/ email notifications from old comments. If I was waiting for a neon flashing sign or an engraved invitation -- I'd say that's it.

My absence wasn't totally voluntary. My computer did eventually go belly up. BOTH drives and memory were apparently eaten by a virus. (yeah, thanks wonderful virus writing scumbags.) I nearly lost *all* of our photos ......because someone hadn't backed them up....... but my brother-in-law performed some computer geek hocus pocus and saved our photos and music. Now I think husband has about 739 firewalls up and various virus protection crap -- I've nick named my computer Alcatraz.

But ...in all honesty. I've been in a mean, nasty, ugly funk.

/tantrum on

I'm homesick and I wanna go home. I want rain. I want crisp cold nights. High school and college football. Pumpkin patches and apple cider. I miss my family. My mom and brother are a riot (..fairly certain my dad thinks we are baboons and wonders where we came from..) I miss my friends.

I've decided to use my airline miles and fly home in January for a month. Yay! The horrible news is that husband can't come with me. Last time I went home (sans husband) I was in tears because I want so badly to show him my home. But ....next August. He will come home with me.

And NONE of this has to do w/ weight loss, does it?!

The good/bad news on that front is I've pretty much stalled out. Not gained, not lost. ..the bad bit is that I am still working out like a bunny. . . and the scale is not budging. On Monday I am going to call the Dr. and find out about having my thyroid checked. I've gained and lost a lot of weight and I've never hit a wall like this. So, we'll see. If that's not it -- then I'll just keep pluggen away.

I hope everyone is doing well... ..and I'm soooooooooooo sorry for being a bad EP friend. I will have time this weekend to check in on everyone ..husband is going to Thessolonikki for some appts so I've got the weekend to myself.

But today is our 2 year wedding anniversary. Yay.

Happy Anniversary!

And welcome back to EP! We've missed you! Wasn't that a trip getting all those emails?LOL

I'm sorry you are homesick! I'd miss all those things, too. But you are living such a dream life! An American in Greece!!  August will be here before you know it and you can show your husband your hometown.

Good to see that you've posted an update! Take care and have a great weekend!

Welcome back!

We missed you! I knew you'd come back to us ;) Alcatraz? awesome name. lol. So staying home for a whole month in january? wow! Now that's going to be fun =)

I'm glad to hear you havent gained! and..sorry you havent lost. Maybe stop working out for a week and then workout 4-5 days the week after?? maybe it's what you're eating? I have no idea how to help you..but when i hit a plateau i skip exercise for a week and eat like a saint while working out like a crazy person the week after. It usually does the trick

Take care and keep on blogging!!

Phew

Glad to hear we didn't have to call out the search party to figure out where you'd gone!  I understand about the funk, even if I still think you don't need to go all the way to the West Coast to get rain - am happy to share some of mine with you.  But here's hoping the month at home makes you feel better, and brings you back re-energized and ready to take on the weight-loss world!

p.s.

Happy Anniversary!

Hey

hey girl.  How is my fellow Oregonian???    i hope you are feeling better.  I've been absentee too. 

Photos

Glad you were able to get those pics back!  I hate doing so much workouts and no budge in the scale.  I'm right there with you on that one!!!

Happy anniversary - belated!

Hi, sweetie!

Don´t worry, I´ve been in a funk, too. I don´t know why, but they didn´t have the notifications of comments sent out. I´m getting back to normal too.....

Know the feelings of homesickness........ you´ll have so much fun at home!

Take care, good to have you back!

Homesick....

It's understandable that you're homesick, especially at this time of year, but you get to come back for a month SOON!  YEAH!   Where is home stateside?  BTW, did you move to greece for the DH or were you already there for another reason?  Hope all is well with you and glad your pics were saved!  Happy belated anniversary!
