Before After

Last day of work then a long weekend...

Last day of work then a long weekend...

Thankfully today is the last day of work.  Then I have a super long weekend. 
As for news on my uncle... (btw thanks for the kind thoughts and prayers) he's not doing good at all.  It's really really bad.  I guess he had a seizure not a heart attack.  He's still in a coma and is technically brain dead.  I guess they gotta run a few more tests and my aunt and dad have to make a decision.  =( pull the plug or not.  So yeah this week sucks lol... Thanksgiving is cancelled at my fathers house tomorrow.. (I kind of figured that)  My mom is not going to my step fathers family’s house anymore she's going to have a mini thanksgiving for us, it will also help us get our minds off of the drama that is going on with my fathers side of the family.  Lots of people from my fathers family is coming up from Delaware.  A bunch of them got in last night and more are on their way.  It's sad that a tragedy such as this has to happen for our family to actually get together!  GRRRRrr....

Anyways.. I'm doing alright.. I'm having up and down times here and there.  I've been watching what I have been eating and not letting the stress get to me in that way.  I'm feeling kind of numb I guess.  My friend wants me to go out tonight.  I think I might. It will help shake off some of what is going on a little bit. 

On a fitness weight loss note.  I have lost a little more this week wooohoo  If I can keep this up through the weekend I would be golden.  I think I'm going to take my measurements tomorrow for the month.  That way I can see where I am versus where I started.  The last time I took measurements was Oct 15th.   The BF also took measurements too.  We didn't get a chance this week to hit the gym like we were supposed to.  Too much family stuff going on at the moment.  I really needed the gym yesterday though.  Like Lauralynn said working out made her feel good and change her mood.  and it's so true it does!  When I was mad at my BF a few weeks back and super stressed out going to the gym and working out made me feel good and happy.  And as sad as it sounds last night I really wanted to go to gym, but I couldn't I had to go to the hospital.

Blah...
Today for fooding I have:
Coffee
Yogurt
banana
fruit bar
apple sauce
Salad w/ italian dressing.

I am so sorry

Hang in there.  Go out and enjoy your friends.  I hope the holidays bring you some better news. 

Thinking of you

I'm sorry you have to go through all of this.  Yes, its sad that something like this brings the family together.   

On a happy note. Good job on losing!!!   Try and enjoy your Thanksgiving with your Mom, at least you will be with someone you really love!

Hugs to you.

HUGS

Just sending hugs and prayers your way.

A lot of families are like that.  I only see DH's FULL family at funerals.  In fact, the first time I met several of them was at my father in law's funeral.  We've been together since 1995 and the funeral was in 2002.  So.... I had met most of the immediate family already, but I only see some of the cousins at funerals and such.  Sad, but true.

Hugs

I think a lot of us have these dysfunctional families . . . but in times like these the fact remains that they are still family and this is a really sad thing to have happen.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.
