Here at the Going4Gold Gang it's all about sharing what your doing as an individual then sharing with the rest of the gang.
Everyone is Welcome
tamleech I hope your daughter is well. I am so sorry that she is sick. One question... what does the fact that she has disabilities make her sickness worse? Just curious and keep on living! Even when bad times are around you know you could pull it through and considering you don't have your husband to help (or divorced?) makes you that much stronger. I admire how you're willing to take all the fear and take care of your daughter. P.S. (I absolutely love I mean HATE chocolate... (not really).
Ok wasn't able to bring a lunch today so I literally went the whole day without eating until 6 pm =O And in an hour's time managed to consume 1,200 cal -.-. How the heck am I going to do this? I think I should allow myself larger amount of calories for dinner on school days since that's usually the big meal during the day and the rest of the day is sort of like snack in your own world. Once I live on my own I'll have a balanced eating plan spread out to accommodate my healthy living/ schedule.
Have a lovely day,

Thank you all SOOOOO much. I actually cried when I logged back in and saw all of the love. HB, my husband is in the military and he is gone for a year on a remote tour, he won't return until Sept. Aside from just having a weakened immune systerm, my daughter is tube fed (has a feeding tube that goes straight into her stomach through her abdominal wall). Her only source of nutrition is a dairy based formula and dairy does not mix with a stomach bug and fever, it makes you feel more sick. So for 3 days now she has had little nutrition because she is supposed to get a minimum 2000 cals per day and she has thrown up every bit, even just a tsp of water I tried to push into her yesterday. This evening she is finally tolerating 2 ounces of clear fluid and 1 ouce of her formula at a time, Praise God! Keep praying specifically that by tomorrow night she will be back to 100%. She loses weight VERY fast and I need to get her back up to her normal diet quickly!
RG... We used to have someone come out every couple of months to help with Darien until we met some friends that were great with her and kept all 3 of our kids for us to have time away (a few times over night!). Now I am new here in Vegas and don't know that I actually trust a stanger enough here to take care of her. She is usually in school during the day and that gives me a pretty good break. My parent will be here in 9 days and that will give me a good break.
Thank you all so much for your concern, it's like 4sq said... there really is power in prayer and that is the most important thing because He is the only one that can heal this faster! I know He will!
Molly, Boots, 2BB.... anyone else I missed, sorry... Thank you for praying! I'll check back on tomorrow and give you all an update...
Totally Off-Topic Post ... Do they ever get normal people on Wife Swap?
=^..^= MOLLY
Molly,
I wonder the same thing--that's one reason why I quit watching the show--I feel like they do that on purpose just to upset people and to have choas--I used to be in love with the show but now I despise it!
Hope she's even better today, tamleech--keep us posted! Glad you're in the Gang where we can give you some support-- I can only imagine the stress you cope with! 
Let's seeee.......???
I felt bad last night and went to bed early... didn't exercise-- waayyy too sore! Feel better today... BUT!!!...Still no loss...!!! Grrrrrrr!!!! 
Gym day today, and cardio... try stairs??? (Curious of what the hrm will say about THAT, lol!)

* Hangs sign... Reads," Gone for Fresh Coffee- back later." Wanders off... humming. * (Gotta' have coffee in this weather! ) 
It's 10:06am here. I'm up and I had breakfast, but haven't showered and dressed yet ... what a decadent start to my day, huh? It's 40 and rainy and grey out there and I plan to stay INSIDE today!
Has anyone started their taxes yet? Ick.
=^..^= MOLLY
yeah, I ran 'em through Turbo tax a couple weeks ago to survey the damage. (self-employed, need to get them in by 1/31 if possible to avoid more pre-payments than are required by 4/15/08.) Seems I'm pretty much on track, must still add up the charitable donations of cash and goodwill items, track the mileage for the car (both work and volunteer stuff), and figure out what final retirement account payments to make for 2007. Plus we need my tax returns to do the final loan applications for the new house.
SO sends his to the accountant! I think we'll still file separately after we're married, since I don't want him to hafta be wrapped up in my business calculations.
Speaking of which, must run to the bank to make the deposit. Temps going DOWN, now at 18 degrees, and into single digits tonight. My furnace wasn't working right but with phone guidance from SO Mike, we figgered out it was a loose wire so it's up and running again (thank goodness, since I'm still waiting on about 4 client checks to arrive in the mail.
Tam, how's our girl this morning? Did you get some sleep?
Sorry, Moll, I don't watch "wife swap," so can't comment. Wanna hear my opinion of my book club book for this month?
Also must get on the bike trainer for at least 45 minutes today, after I get back from errands methinks.
Talk later,
- RG
Yikes!!!
Rivergrrrl's taxes!!! Whew!!! I wouldn't wanna' hav' ta' do all THAT...!!!
ANOTHER EVIL word...
Anybody here familiar with the curse of the self-employed-or-other-wise...
* whimper...! *
INVENTORY TIME...!!!!!!
Oh, how I hated thee!!! Lol!!!!
So far so good today! She is tolerating her food again (slowly raising it up). Thank you all so much, what a blessing you are!!!
I am dreading my taxes. I started my own business last year and have never done it before this way. If I can't figure it out with my mom's help next week I will take it to an accountant. 
I got some sleep last night and have actually started PACKING today! Got 1 box done and did some laundry too. I am feeling motivated today.
Aside from packing and cleaning I'm not "planning" any exercise. I have started doing some light calisthenics at night while I'm watching TV. I do some squats, lunges and leg lifts with ankle weights. I then eat a snack under 100 cals, either a grapple or pudding because I crave something sweet.
It's getting close to TOM for me again and my weight is at a stand still, probably for a week again. Feeling bloated.... HATE THAT, but I still know that it is only my duty as a woman to feel this bad every single month that I'm not pregnant or nursing until I reach an age where I feel even WORSE for a time until this goes away for good. 
Hello everyone! I'm Kathy, I hope to get to know everyone soon!
WELCOME!!! WELCOME!!! WELCOME!!!
The BOSS, (as I call her!), may be, "out of the building," for now, lol! (Wow! What a LOT of comma's! lol!) She wrote about being busy earlier.
Glad you could find/join us!!!
Lol, tamleech!
I've been, "enjoying?" having some of that WORSE, lol!!!!
Sooo much to look forward to!!!
Glad she's better!!!
Hiya Kat!
* waves *
I've discovered that having tuna for lunch makes me verrrrrry popular with my cats.
Shoo!!!
=^..^= MOLLY
My dog goes nuts everytime we have tilapia. We discovered over the past couple of summers that she likes fish probably more than cats do. I don't think it helped that we fed her some of the minnows when we went fishing, a couple of them by accident but then a few more because she loves them. Now everytime we eat fish she really goes crazy.
Tamleech very happy to hear that your daughter is doing better!!

How many grams of fiber should you shoot for? Just curious I mean I did sort of feel full today but the total grams seemed a little low. I want to get as much out of each gram of food as possible while enjoying it.
hope everyone is having a good day,
