Sprint not so bad after all

i just got off the phone with sprint a little while ago.   i switched to at&t last week & they charged me an early termination fee!   What?!?   i’ve been out of contract for years as far as i knew. so i explained my case to the front line csr, as nicely as i […] Read more…

silly to be disappointed…

I’ve logged in for the first time in months & noticed someone linked to me (DSIL).   Reading her last post made me realize how silly mine will be but oh well.  I FINALLY got off my butt and called Christ the King to find out who to cal about Mothers In Christ.  I wanted to […] Read more…

Money Monday – Dave Ramsey

This was originally posted at another blog of mine (www.motheringtc.com) that I have deleted.   I have combined all my blogs into this one for the sake of simplicity in my already busy life.   Jen – 6/13/09. Money is a primary concern for everyone. The world seems to revolve around it — how to get it, […] Read more…

It’s been awhile…

Things have been going well.   Right after I posted last, I was essentially comatose until July or August.     Then I spent July/August/September catching up on and getting ahead of stuff that I didn’t do because I was busy building a new person :). It’s been a great few months and DH and I have both […] Read more…

Gave up First Place…

I quit doing First Place. It was a great idea, if anyone bothered to do what they promised. One of the things you promise to do is encourage someone weekly. I was pretty good sending encouragement to EVERYONE for the first 4 weeks and the only encouragement I ever got from others was 1 in […] Read more…

Progress…

Well, I’m about 6 weeks into, as I have lovingly referred to it, religious fat camp.   And, surprise, surprise — I’ve fallen off of the wagon. I did very well with eating until Christmas and then lost it between Christmas & New Years.   Then 1/2, I started working with my personal trainer — interesting […] Read more…

Results & THE CHRISTMAS CAKE saga

Well, as you can see by the ticker at the bottom, I’m starting to get the hang of how the exchanges work. These were my numbers as of Monday, 12/18. Lucky for me, it’s that lovely time of month when, among other things, I have NO desire to eat anything. Just in time for Christmas […] Read more…

progress…

Last Monday’s weigh-in was NOT what I had anticipated.  I actually gained .5 lbs after being down 1.5 in the middle of the week.   I completely blew it on the weekend. I decided that this week I need a PLAN for the weekend so that I don’t wander through my kitchen wondering what I should […] Read more…

so far so good…

Well, so far, I haven’t gained. Until yesterday, I was at a 1.5 lb loss. After re-reading my CR (food journal, among other things) I realized I consumed a TON of calories from drink – large pop from subway, a can of pop, 2 glasses of Tang… Bummer. Otherwise, I didn’t do so bad yesterday […] Read more…

Trying something new…

With the onset of fall, I somehow became mired in a knee-depth depression.  Nothing major but annoying and de-motivating, nonetheless.   During this wonderful time, I managed to gain 10 lbs.   I, frankly, do not have the desire/motivation to do this on my own and I am also being pretty cheap and lazy lately.   I’ve decided […] Read more…
