Que's Journey begins

[que_66]

No contract for educational expenses, not even in the divorce decree. Didn't know to ask for any back then. Ex is trying to intimidate me into submission and when his strongarm techniques didn't work he threatens with court. So be it.

I know he's using her and she is using him. They both need to remember that what goes around comes around.

Just trying to immerse myself in exercise to deal with everything. It always helps.



Curgeo - I've been dieting for a couple of years but only dieting properly since I joined EF. I had stopped everything (diet, exercise,etc) in Jan/Feb because of family situations and I've just re-started my journey to fitness when I joined the gym recently. I'm on week 4 of the re-start.

Oh Que...I have no words of wisdom because I honestly don't know how it feels. Big hugs to you, sweetie...You're hanging tough. Keep on! We are definitely here to support you.

About that workout...hmmm. Me no likey. Full bodys, upper lowers, push pulls are much better and will keep you from overtraining.

Took the little round dog of mine for a walk, he needs to work off that winter belly of his.

Walking turned him into a little poop machine. I take baggies with me cuz we have to pick up whatever our dog leaves behind.

We pick up their sh*t and we're the dominant species???????

Well, I really don't know what they're expecting to get from you - because they can't/won't get a dime. She's an adult now and you are no longer responsible for her. Simply the fact that her father is trying to bully you with "suing her for college expenses when she's 18 years old" tells me he ain't the sharpest tool in the shed!

Speaking from personal experience here - you are only responsible for your childs elementary/high school education. Anything beyond that - if they're 18 or over, is up to them (or whomever agrees to pay it for them). This came straight from the mouth of my attorney when I was trying to emancipate my daugher.

No worries......tell him to kiss your ass!!!

...and your little round dog... lol....funny isn't it - they have US trained!

Well tomorrow starts my first day of my new goal of 5 days of cardio. I have BB's TaeBo Cardio (blue case) & TaeBo Total Body Fat Blaster (red case) dvd's that I plan on using for am cardio. I've done the Total Body one before but I just got the TaeBo Cardio dvd the other day.

I want to shift my cardio to mornings so that evenings are for lifting. I want to start working body parts twice a week.

I know cardio should be on an empty stomach but if I don't eat something within about 30 min of waking I get sick. Hypoglycemic & extra stomach acid - what a joy! I figure if I can keep the food that I need first thing in the am to the minimum so that I don't hurl then I should be ok. Gonna try Crystal Light Sunrise drink tomorrow. Coffee is normally what I have before breakfast but I tried the Crystal light the other morning and it seemed to work ok.

With the whole daughter thing I haven't been sleeping well and I'm nervous because I'm afraid I'll make some excuse to myself about why I didn't get up early enough to exercise.
