Okay outside of the health stuff I got good news from my mom today.
My cousin’s husband, who was detained by ice as he was heading out to work, was released this week.
He surprised his youngest daughter on her 6th bday party. So he’s home for now. My aunts fundraised to help with lawyer costs.
Do keep my fam in your thoughts. It’s been a trying year for us. The anxiety with all this has been fun too.
A few months ago, my uncle (mom’s brother) didn’t run the same luck and was deported. So it’s good to win some.

The month of September and first half of October has sucked fucking dick for us. I was in the hospital, my niece broke her elbow and had to have surgery, my precious dog passed away, the unexpected medical expenses have kicked us in the ass, and I have a massive tooth infection that I just started antibiotics for.
But Im keeping it moving forward. Im excited to start this new diet and the Isagenix. I am not usually one for quick fix diets and such but my doctor was pretty excited for me to start this. She has taken me on as her pet project I guess you could say. She texts me and shit to check up on me and is super invested in my well being, more so than any other doctor Ive ever had. But this stuff seems legit and my sister is going to do her own diet with me which means H is too.
Also cool fun fact my coach for this is a former actress in LA, Ive never seen her in anything shes like 74 but she looks so damn good for her age.

mischief damn when it rains it pours huh? Damn sorry you are going through all those health issues. I’m crossing my fingers too can get to your health and weight goals sorted. It helps when There are others joining you. My husband has been really supportive. He’s like “we all eat the same thing. No worries”. He’s a foodie so it’s such a big deal that he’s there cheering me on and eating the same thing I am. So I’m glad to hear you and your sister are doing this together. Lots of good luck. Have you tasted the supplements already? Are they tasty?

Have you tasted the supplements already? Are they tasty? Im excited that we've got each other! We're all foodies too so H has been trying to find shit thats delicious and not diet food and he's been doing a really good job. Im glad your H is being supportive too! Our husbands are awesome. I tried the shakes, they are surprisingly good. They are really thick which I wasnt expecting. I was thinking like hot chocolate consistency since you mix with water but its more like a melted Frosty from Wendys. The texture kind of irritates my gag reflex though lol. They dont taste terrible either, like its going to be an acquired taste but I think I will probably like it more as I get used to it. I have a pantry full of shit for this. There are little energy drinks, a bottle of cleanser, several different bottles of pills, little wafer snacks, flavor mixes for water, like it is a kit for sure. And there is a ton of other stuff you can order. The kicker is I have an very mild allergy to sunflower seeds and sunflower seed oil the third ingredient in the shakes. They make my mouth itch but my doctor said to just take an allergy pill every day and to just keep an eye on it, if it starts moving to my throat I will probably have to stop drinking them. So keep your fingers crossed. Its also possible that it will just go away. |

Hi!
I float in and out of here. I try and keep up but life is crazy. Now that I have my new glasses reading on my phone won’t give me a headache anymore so hopefully I can keep up better.
Both of my kiddos are sick right now. It’s making life exhausting. I feel like I am getting sick too which isn’t helping.
I have a million things I want to read, watch or do and I just don’t have the time. When I do get the time, I am too tired to do them.

Good news about your cousin, miawallace. @origin, sympathy for such a difficult month. I hope the diet is life changing for you. TW: Loss H and I have been doing a lot of thinking recently and although we're not quite ready to stop trying yet, after seven consecutive losses and with me being 42 next year, we're getting closer to accepting that L will probably be an only child. This is heartbreaking, but the cycle of despair and hope isn't good for me. End TW Otherwise, we were away last week for the October break. L cried about going back to preschool this morning, but she switched her mood round during the three minute walk and pushed me out of the door when I dropped her off. Right now we're having lovely, cool, crisp Autumn weather. I hope it lasts! |

Okay day one of Isagenix. The Ionix supreme powder tastes like shit and looks like sewer water but its only six oz so I can shoot it. Im trying vanilla shakes today. And you guys will probably get a live blog everyday, feel free to ignore me.
My starting weight is 334 which=fat (Ive never even said my weight out loud in 10 years but Im going for full accountability here) but I did lose 9 pounds from when I was in the hospital so thats cool. I weigh in on day 8 so hopefully that shit goes down even more.
Its shake-meal-shake which is cool because I thought I wasnt going to get to eat real food at all. Then I do two cleanse days where I dont get any actual food and have to drink some cleanse thing. The vanilla isnt too bad but jesus christ this texture makes my gag reflex let itself be known.

I didn't know this thread was here! So I read a little yesterday and am now catching up.
This school year has been kicking my butt since it started. I don't feel like work has gotten busier at the high school I work at, but ugh. And my six year old had a terrible transition at a new school so I'm late every morning because he meets with the social worker instead of going to the lunch room to sit with all the other kids until they go outside. She doesn't get to work until 8 and that is when I am supposed to be at work. Thankfully my boss is extremely understanding when it comes to his employees having kids, because he has been there with his own kids, so he doesn't get mad that I am late. We have conferences tonight we I'm looking forward to talking about our next step.
SO left for a month this morning for a military training. I am going to take this time to figure out if I want to still be together when he gets back. We've been together for a little over two years and I just feel like we are not moving anywhere, we are just sort of stuck and there is no forward progression in our relationship.
Also, I started at a gym and I've been working out more than I ever have in the past 6 years and I love it, but I still eat like crap.

I finally watched iron man 3 today. Yeah it's way better than 2, but I still like 1 the best because it's OG.
Waiting for Antman and the Wasp today!

I tried listening to HP and the Sacred Text on a road trip and couldn't get into it. It’s season 3 of Binge Mode. When I typed Binge Mode into the apple podcasts app Binge Mode Harry Potter was the first thing that popped up. The episodes are about an hour long. They go through all the books 5 chapters at time. I am 3 or 4 episodes in. I listen while I am at work and it’s sort of mindless fun to listen to. I am on chapters 11-14. |

Thanks guys!! Conferences went really well! I wasn’t able to talk with the social worker about changing up how his morning goes, but his teacher was so supportive of him and was very reassuring that he is always welcome
In her class in the mornings before the other students come in. I am really happy that we moved to this school.
And thanks for hearing me on the relationship stuff. I still have issues from my exH and I always am worried that that lack of confidence is coming into play or I’m self-sabotaging my happiness. So I appreciate the place to talk!

I’m having a rough week. I am feeling pretty defeated. It’s all dumb shit that shouldn’t bother me but it does. I haven’t had a chance to do much reading in a few days because I just don’t have the brain capacity to absorb anything right now.

4PrivetDrive Relationships are hard. Hopefully you guys can sort it all out. Also hope you can sort out scheduling with your kid. It always helps to have flexibility st work. And also glad your enjoying your gym time. I just bought a ln exercise bike. It’s the best. I sit on it for a while and watch whatever floats my boats. Mainly it’s been horror flicks.
