Fell off wagon too!

Janet, sounds to me like you do need a vacation or a spa day or something!!!!! Get someone to watch the pups and take off for a long weekend with your guys. I'm not familiar with Indiana at all, but there's bound to be a nice town you can escape to and do something different for a change.

Janet, I hope you can take a vacation now that your son is getting older. That sounds like what you need more than anything right now. I'm sorry life can be so stressful at times. Go find that island with Mandy!

But seriously, take some time for yourself and maybe you'll feel better. *hugs*

Janet - You are having quite the time. Deep breaths and I hope it all settles down for you a bit. Life does get crazy from time to time for sure.

Mentally all us ladies should take a 5 minute vacation. Totally shut it all out and find our happy place. My 5 minute vacation in my mind has an umbrella in it smelling of coconut with a warm breeze!

My good sister-in-law and I are going together to the spa as soon as school lets out. We are going to go when her next day off is and find out what all they offer and then make an appointment. I can't wait. My SIL said that this place also has a training facility right there and the prices are cheaper. I told her I didn't care about the price because I didn't want to end up in worse shape...LOL ..so we'll see. Even though I was planning on going no matter what..it's nice that she wants to go too. We will have so much fun!!!

I think that it's always more fun to go with another person. When I went and got a massage my aunt went with me and we both got massages. She's a lot of fun to be around.

That spa and vacation sounds great!

I haven't gotten back onto the dieting wagon -- I've gained back 4 of the 27 lbs lost, and I still need to lose another 50, sigh. Every morning I swear I'll do better, but then something happens and. . . having kids around I can't throw all the 'bad' food out; which is really how I kept thin before I had children. No fast food, no candy, no deserts unless they are low cal/low fat, or fruit. But hubby and kids keep picking up ice cream. . . cookies. . . potato chips!!! Aaaarrrghhh! And yes I have spoken to them about this, but they act as though I'm punishing them.

I know exactly what you're saying Jessica. I've gained by 6 of the 20 and it's really hard. Like right now...as I type this...I'm wanting ice cream with Hershys chocolate and peanuts. I gotta keep typing....gotta keep typing....
