Hey Pammers,

Good to see you in a spirited mood again! Dude, I know the feeling about slipping with the food thing...you're right, if we didn't have food issues, none of us would be overweight to begin with...its a daily responsibility to feed your body properly. I know I don't always feel like being responsible for that, but I go forward... maybe making little mistakes along the way. We are human, babe. You're still going to reach your goal, Pammie. Just keep going forward.

You have my unwavering support, hun. Now gets ta liftin' (before keith comes over and whoops yer a$$!!)

pammiejoe6 · 06-23-2006, 12:11 AM

LOL JJ i almost WANT to fail just to see that moose at my doorstep! hahahahahahaaaaaa....kidding kidding...he's such a good dude....risks his life on a daily basis for our freedom....almost makes me feel stupid for being such a woosie sometimes....but i feel certain if i was in his spot i would step up and do so much better....sometimes its so embarrassing living a life without anything to fight for...almost miserable....but whaddaya do? all i can do is try to teach my children how to be better peeps and how to eat right and lift....and as far as i am concerned...i need to step up and prove i am better than i think i am...its such a struggle...i honestly doubt myself much more now than i ever did before...its sad....i need to be stronger than that....

i have a horrible migraine......i am SO SICK of migarines...i remember going to the nurse many many times when i was a child....almost unable to walk and super sensitive to light and sound...nauseous....wanting only for the pain to go away...my mother is actually on daily meds for her migraines....i am a little luckier than her in this respect....i only get them every few months but when i do they are killer.....almost too much to handle....

unfortunately today is more of the same as the last few....i think i overheated this afternoon working for the neighbor....worked my ass off in her garden...got a few dizzy spells during but they passed.....sometimes i think i work too hard....lol....came home and drank tons of water but still feel horrible.....all i want to do is sleep....i have a pot of homemade chicken noodle soup cooking even though its been a hot day....we now have storms dragging through ( which is cause for a good migraine or two) and the heat is subsiding, but its still muggy and weird outdoors....ive stayed in and just tried to mellow out but i am seriously considering taking a dose of nyquil and hitting the sack....perhaps the last few days ive been battling a virus or something...i just havent felt like myself in the least...kinda dizzy and nauseous...moody....angry....UGH so many emotions its too much for me....

i know i know more excuses....but im just trying to be honest....

eating has been non existant as well....im just too nauseous to eat....hopefully i will get in some good stuff tonight with the soup...

please bear with me friends...i need your support!

hugs!

JJ_Sungirl · 06-23-2006, 06:44 AM

Aww pammiegurl,

You have my support hun. My husband, too, suffers from migraines. I TOTALLY understand how awful and lingering they can be. The muggy weather and lack of appetite doesn't help either, I'm sure, sweets

Hang in there, babe. We're here for ya.

Gosh Pammie....you just about made me blush here. You make me proud to do my job, as does everyone else in this "community." It's not for everyone I know, but I enjoy what I do and I do it so that others can enjoy what they do. In my opinion taking the time to raise your children right is quite noble in itself. As for not having anything to fight for...I beg to differ...I'm quite certain you would take a bullet to save any member of your family. Anyone reading your thread can see that. This is a quote I use on another board as my sig. line:

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." -John Stewart Mill

I learned that quote nearly 25 years ago, and it's part of what drives me still today. I'm quite certain that you are more than willing to fight for your family. But I'll make you a promise...right here...in front of the whole forum. I'll keep doing my job out here and elsewhere if you keep doing yours at home. The way I see it...it's a win/win for both of us.

ok first! youre ON!

pammiejoe6 · 06-27-2006, 12:23 AM

ok...well as you all know things have been up in the air for me lately...on top of having the kids home all day everyday driving me absolutely bonkers my hubby and i were going through a rough patch and i was basically depressed and feeling like i meant nothing...but yesterday he and i were able to actually have a long conversation and we worked things out....FINALLY...i feel sooooo much better!! Yay!

things have been fine eating wise though...and i have been doing cardio every single day in the form of swimming so i dont feel like i am doing all that bad...it IS a trip how i basically lose all interest in EVERYTHING when things are bad with me and the hubby...but i am so relieved that things are back to normal and that i feel confident about things again...

i am finally ready to get back to it hard and heavy...thanks so much for all the patience...

pammiejoe6 · 06-29-2006, 04:55 AM

well today i was busy as HELL....went to work at noon for my neighbor and wasnt done until well after 6 or so...man i felt exhausted and got a major migraine about 20 minutes after getting home....drag....i finally had a few drinks and damn i feel a helluva lot better!!! hahaha...

hubby had to drive a truck tonight so he wont be home for a few more hours...i freakin hate when he has to drive a truck...he hates it too and i wish he never had to do it...driving is WAY dangerous....crazy farks out on the road at night!

i got an interesting call from my best friend Penny...she's been working at a restaurant i USED to work at....she loves it BTW and so did i ( i just got sick of it and didnt show up one night...yikes)....seems they really miss me and would welcome a call from me if i am interested in coming back! i honestly would LOVE to go back...i miss the hell out of waiting tables and think i would be very happy working again....so i think i will bring the subject up to my hubby asap and see if maybe this is an option for me....the kids are a lot bigger now and i think they could handle me working at night part time....plus i would definitely welcome the cash! i am a great waitress and know i would really love it.....i hope it works out!

ok....time to go take a bath before the hubster gets home...maybe ill go lay down and try to close my eyes for a few minutes after that.....doesnt sound too bad at all.....

hugs all.....

pammiejoe6 · 06-30-2006, 05:16 AM

i used to LOVE coming home from work and lifting! this is gonna rock!

1stindoor · 06-30-2006, 10:32 AM

Sounds like this are coming back together again for you Pammie...just don't forget to keep the workouts going after you reenter the workforce.

kennyb · 06-30-2006, 12:25 PM

Good for you, PJ.

DawnMarie · 06-30-2006, 01:04 PM

Congratulations!

Sounds like this will be a positive change for you going back to work. I really admire how you've been able to be home with the kids and do your workouts and everything. I loved being off when my boys were each born but after about 5 months I was itching to get back to work even though I missed being with them at home. I can totally understand that feeling though and glad to see you pulled yourself through the rough patch and hope everything works out great with the job! I can tell you are all fired up now!!!

Go Pammie!!

im SO proud of you mama!! youve been doing great trying to take it easy.....me? ive been sucking ass...been eating like shit and going on 2 weeks no lifting....wtf??

hell i need my ass kicked i guess....

im just super happy you are healing susan...i wub you!

Hey Pammie, well he is sort of healed. He can use his wrist, but he has to wear a brace and if he doesn't or if he lifts something heavy with it, it hurts like hell.
I have started lifting again a little and it has been great so far. No pain. My OBGYN actually called yesterday with my Pathology reports and she was glad to tell me that there is no cancer present. Whew good news that is. You know we all have our ups and downs, but you just have to dust yourself off and try again. I am not going to quit this competition, because I feel if I quit now, I will always be a quitter. Life is a bitch and it sucks at times, but if you quit at every little hurdle life throws at you, you will never make it through life.
Well, we decided to go out and go fishing today. Hoping to reel in some Rainbow trouts (our favorites).
Hugs and have an awsome weekend sweety!
Muahhhh
