http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/lindseydenniston/comments/352875/im-still-here <p>So I've been out of the game for awhile.&nbsp; But I am back and motivated.&nbsp; So here I go!!!</p> <a href="http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/lindseydenniston/comments/352875/im-still-here">Comments(0)</a> 352875 Friday, December 7, 2007 21:00:23 :) http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/lindseydenniston/comments/283224/ <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So, i'm still sick but getting better.&nbsp; I haven't been to the gym yet.&nbsp; I don't feel good enough yet.&nbsp; My chest is whats really been nagging me.&nbsp; But I'll survive.&nbsp; I am weigh 246.&nbsp; I am actually happy about it.&nbsp; I am glad I haven't gained any.&nbsp; I really want this to be the time when I can lose it and keep it off.&nbsp; I have been feeling really good emotionaly.&nbsp; I went shopping.&nbsp; Even though I still where the same size in clothes, it is still nice to get something new.&nbsp; Besides, shopping makes every girl happier right.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; So anyway I am going to try to make it to the gym tomorrow morning.&nbsp; Even if I can't do my regular workout I will at least walk on the treadmill.&nbsp; Something is better than nothing.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; My husband is training to be a truck driver and has been gone for a little over a month.&nbsp; I think I am okay with it.&nbsp; It hasen't really been hard without him, but there are days that I wish he were here.&nbsp;&nbsp;I talk to him everyday on the phone.&nbsp; What is wierd is that we don't really have much to talk about.&nbsp; It seems like everything is normal.&nbsp;&nbsp;Like the way&nbsp;it was before he left.&nbsp; That worries me a little.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is really part of the reason that I want to lose the weight.&nbsp;&nbsp;I think we have lost some&nbsp;of the spark that we used&nbsp;to have.&nbsp; I think it is probably more me then&nbsp;him.&nbsp; I don't feel good about myself,&nbsp;and I think it shows in our relationship.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; On a lighter note, I have started a new semester is college.&nbsp; I am taking child development, psychology, and real estate.&nbsp; As you can see I am not sur where I want to go yet.&nbsp; I like all of these subjects.&nbsp; Especially child development and psychology.&nbsp; I am hoping that these classes will not only help me descide what I want for my career, but also help me as a parent, wife, daughter, and sister.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; My relationship with my mom and sister is a little strained.&nbsp; My mom lives with my husband, myself and our children.&nbsp; We are really alot alike.&nbsp; I think that is the problem.&nbsp; But my mom really likes to create drama and to be in control of other peoples (my sister, and my) relationships.&nbsp; My sister is the complete opposite of me.&nbsp; She has so much going on.&nbsp; She is very self serving.&nbsp; I guess I try to distance myself from her and her issues because I don't need anyone else's problems.&nbsp; My mom loves to be in the thick of it.&nbsp; This poses a problem because she lives with me and brings all my sisters problems into our home.&nbsp; I have been reading the book the Secret, and am really tyring to be positive.&nbsp; So I really want to stay away from all of that negative stuff.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So now that I have unloaded I feel much better.&nbsp; Maybe I won't wait so long to unload again.&nbsp; Thanks for listening.&nbsp; Happy Monday!</p> <a href="http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/lindseydenniston/comments/283224/">Comments(0)</a> 283224 Saturday, December 1, 2007 23:01:13 I'm still here!
