Endorphins are nature's anti-depressant. I'm with Wyst and Spatts that getting back into your old routine - at least workout wise - will make you feel better than any doctor-prescribed remedy. I wish you the best in working through your loss. Keep us posted.

well i headed off to the gym yesterday afternoon with my kiddies in tow. got to the gym and while walking in my 4 yr old took a nose dive off the curb!! she was hysterical crying for 20 mins it took 5 bandaids and some extra attention to get her to calm down. damn the cosmic gods for making my life a clusterf*ck! well after that and dropping my head phones in the sink off to work out i went. I did legs (since its been a while i knew i'd be sore and i am a waitress so i need to be able to lift my arms above my head! LOL) now my legs are sore as hell but that is a great feeling! well off to take my ball of fur to go get a hair cut. ( i mean the dog not any of the kids!!) thanks guys i really appreciate all the help.

Spats is right - that right there is what seperates us from everyone else. I have spent the last month asking myself "how bad do you want it" at least 10 times a day. That one question helps me walk away from food that is not on the approved eating list, will get out a few extra reps and a little more cardio. You have travelled a long road Blue - you will make it.

The best part of this post, and the part you should definitely keep saying to yourself, over and over again...

that is a great feeling!

Good for you, cowgirl.

Blue-I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. This is a difficult time but as you said you've been thru hard times before, got thru it and now you are stronger! Keep remembering that. I too lost a friend I served with in the Pentagon. It tore me up. I'm sure the loved ones you lost don't want to see you stop living your life for them. Stand strong and keep fighting...what helped to keep me going was this thought...if I am not strong enough to overcome this tragedy, stop living my life as it it is, then the terrorists truely have one. Everytime I wanted to lie in bed and not face the day I remembered this, everytime I felt too depressed to workout I remembered this, this thought helped me thru the pain of Americas lossses and I refused to be another victim!
My thoughts and prayeres are with you...

How's it going Bluegirl? Just thought I'd give you a shout out...all the TV coverage on the 6 month anniversary is kinda bringing some of us around here down, and I thought of you...

Hope you're okay, and hope you're keeping positive. If not, do what I did this am: crush out some of that negative energy in a set of high-intensity squats!

i'm ok. thank you so much for thinking of me. I have not turned the tv on or the radio on today. I work in a bar and grill and the tv was on last night and they had the ff special on last night well i broke down in tears and had to banish myself to the kitchen with some jimmy hendricks on REAL loud until i knew they turned it off. I'm heading to the gym before work so hopefully i will be in a better frame of mind. I feel real sad today but i am just trying to keep my head up. thanks again, it made me smile knowing that you were thinking about me. thanks

oh and the really really hot new cook i have might help to keep at least my eyes busy at work! maybe he can help me think of some new reciepes. he's a Big BB. HUGE arms and everything else and looking mighty fine,and he can cook! damn if only i wasn't married! lol

hey spatts, i'm doing ok. trying to take it one day at a time. trying to get more sleep so i can get up and hit the gym in the morning before my husband goes to work. this is not an easy task. with the hours i work i need to go in the morning, but that means getting to bed and sleeping the whole night. getting all my food in is another problem i am encountering. i work 4 nights a week but 35 hours in those 4 nights so what happens is i am rushing around and can't get some my meals in. then i am soo hungry i just eat crap because i am to lazy to cook. so i am trying to cook and stock up on my meals so this doesn't happen. but i really need to figure out where to stick my gym time in. well i guess it will all work out. I am trying to get my husband to go to the gym which will be better so that i don't need to hear any crap about me leaving him and spending no time with him. well like AA one day at a time!
