day 2 moderation

Well Lois, thanks for asking about the pooches... Got one with his head on my toes right now as I'm typing!(the cute one of course!) My kayak partner! I just got home from work, so I guess he missed me! One of the others is watchin TV in the other room... & the other is @ Scott's feet in the bedroom ...helping him snore! In harmony!

I had the wierdest night @ work! I felt kinda OFF, and mentioned it to Hubby before I went in to work. Just felt like my blood sugar was doing something strange. I felt kinda shakey & spacey.... just way off. I'm usually very aware of my schedule at work,...when I have to be there, what days off I have ... etc.. because it changes all the time, so I have to constantly be ready...
Today Scott came home @ lunch, & I was on the Computer, he asked if I was working tonight , and I was suprised, that I was! I've had the schedule written down since last Sat! I guess I was thinking it was still wed...?
Then tonight I kept spacing stuff out, that I don't usually do.. it was really frustrating, it felt like a bad dream!

This morning I did the Hypno pt 2 and fell asleep while listening to it. I'm wondering, if because I fell asleep, and didn't hear the "countdown" maybe I didn't 'snap -out" of it right!? I almost felt like I was sleep walking @ work! Don't think I'll be doing any hypno before work anymore... I don't know something just doesnt feel right. Even right now. I don't feel as sharp as I should. It wasn't busy, I just got home, & I've had 1/2 glass of wine... Hormones?... Moon?

Anyone else have any kind of stange effect from falling asleep while under the hypno? Am I being paranoid? I haven't changed my dosage of topa , or diet or anything... :o :rolleyes


Well sorry this is sort of a strange post to start the day 2 thread with... but there ya have it!

On a lighter note...

A blonde wanting to earn some extra $$, decided to hire herself out as a painter and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house & asked the owner if he needed any painting done.
"Well, you can paint my porch. How much do you charge?" The blonde said, "How about $50 bucks?' The man agreed & told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation & asked , "Does she realize the porch goes all around the house?" THE MAN REPLIED, SHE SHOULD, SHE WAS STANDING ON IT."
A short time later the blonde came to the door to collect her money. "You're finished already?" he asked. "Yes, the blonde answered, and I had paint left over so I gave it a second coat" Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50. "And by the way," the blonde added, :that's not a porch, it's a Ferrari.":rollin

Hi All!

That is strange about your being spacey, Judie. Hard to say if it was the hypno or not!! Maybe a good question for RJ!

All's I can say is TGIF!!!! Very light workday today, so I can work in other ways, namely, put the finishing touches on the new office and then really be able to kick back, relax, and throw myself into June Moderation, full force, meaning listening to the cd's as directed etc. I figure I ought to be REALLY done this weekend.

I listened to the clearing cd last night as I was falling asleep, but since I fell asleep, I have no idea whether or not it was helpful to me!ol I know that some listen to the cd's when going to bed and then fall asleep, but not me. I'm down for the count within a few minutes of hitting the pillow!!! Don't think it's going to work for me!!!

Anyway, onward and upward, it's a beautiful new day...let's make the most of it!

Hugs,
Kathy

love the joke! As for CDs, I have fallen asleep to it but always wake up very rested. I bet the blood sugar had the stronger effect. Sometimes if I nap with/without CDs on the weekend, I never really wake up. We have a cat and when he looks like he can't wake up we refer to it as a kitty coma and tell him he looks squishy.

Day 2 plan -- go to health food store and stock up on supps. Go to gym. I hope to go hiking tomorrow so I will most likely opt to stay home and not go to the bike shop or go play pool. But if I do go out, THREE is the limit.

I think Judie needs to be able to beam herself around the country and when one of us goes over our daily limit, she appears, hits us with a stun gun, drags us home and slaps the hypno CD on.

Hey There Everyone!! I had an ok day yesterday. Was AF but really down in the dumps. Just couldn't get focused either. Wasted a lot of time tryin to figure out what I was tryin to do then finally just took a nap!:|

Oh well...today's a new day...Friday too!! Yahoo!

This is my allowance day (2 drink max) but I'm not sure if I'll use it or not. My tummy still hurts. We'll see. We finally have a free weekend and that feels great! No softball, cheer, family stuff, or anything else.

I just need to cheer up!! Maybe I can make someone else laugh this morning though:

A husband came home with a tube of KY jelly and said, "This will make you happy tonight." He was right. When he went out of the bedroom, His wife squirted it all over the doorknobs. He couldn't get back in.ol ol ol

:rollin Tired of a lifeless sex life, the man came right out and asked his wife during a recent lovemaking, "How come you never tell me when you have an orgasm?" She looked at him casually and replied, "You're never home!":rollin

hahahaha....Have a great day all!!!

Luv ya,
Hope

Yeah!!
Stun gun!!
That's what I need. I have often thought about putting an electric fence around the bar in our basement. Or an invisible fence like the dog has with one of those collars on me so if i get too close I get a little warning.. beep beep beep... then
ZZZZZAAAAAPPPPPPPP!!!!
This was a bad week for me. Worst I've had since I started the program, I hate to report. I'm so damn fed up with my stomach issues and had to stop all the supps last week that I had been taking for almost 4 months. Upped my topa 3 days ago, but think I forgot part of the dose yesterday cuz of splitting pills (put them all in an organizer now, so good to go). Just had a "what the F*" week. PMS and all. Think you guys could all maybe feel this coming from me...:\ I do think the topa prevents the blackouts and the drunkenness for me, but I think I'm frying my brain with drinking 5-6-7 or so in a night and I don't feel good. It sucks.
NOTE TO LURKERS: This is what happens when you don't follow the whole program!! Thankfully, I've learned enough and have enough support from you all to not completely lose it! Days of old would have seen me at 12+ drinks and completely nonfunctional. For ME though, above 4-5 a day 1 or 2 times a week is max max max limit I want.
I think I need to read back and see how long I've been funky. Am I funky every day? Feel like I did so well for so long...reporting 0 drinks or 1 or 2....:(

Jude, saw you got my Joke down there... hee hee. That is so funny to tell an unsuspecting man. specially if he's a little shy.
sigh
it's raining here.
Next week is the first full wk of June, and i promised 2-3 alcohol free days in my plan. I will do that. Did it all of May, except for this past week when I went off the supps and funked out.. Did 1-2 days, that is. Did 3 one time.
OOOOKKKKKAAAYYYY. I'm good. Get thru the wknd and refocus. When I look at that incriminating evidence in my drinkin diary, it will be enough to get all pissed off at myself!! Especially when I look at how well I was doing before.

Wedding tomorrow in Indiana. I WILL hold it together. Promise. You guys are coming with me in my head! It's my first function as "the first lady" as hubby calls it. No pressure or anything. :eek
I'll be hanging around the boards a bit today
Bec

PS:
Kathy, glad to hear you are starting to finally feel settled!
Jude, Hope.... are we all feeling a bit spacey?? weird

good morning all!
well last night was interesting...i had 2 1/2 glasses of wine between 6 and 10:30...that is crazy...that just never has heppened to me in so long...i was totally understanding about the post from last night about being dumped by wine...we even went out to dinner for mexican and no margarita or anything...just one glass of wine the whole time....We'll see what the weekend brings....Judie, I dont know about the CDs and spaciness as i have only done the clearing during the day...i am going to do the hypno today....maybe the stars were in alignment...sounds like crazy day for quite a few...I cant tell you all how much I am looking forward to this board everyday...thanks for being here...Good luck to all...TGIF!!! xx Red

Hope, regarding the being dumped by wine post from yesterday...i am already doing the visual in the field but with a chardonnay bottle...too funny and entertaining .....am glad to get your feedback on your experience...are you on topa/ supps/cds etc?...thanks for shring and TGIF!! Red:rollin

"There's nothing wrong with wishing... But there's a lot wrong with kidding ourselves as a way of life. If personal transformation resulted from collecting new ideas, we'd have been transformed long ago. Exploring is great. And looking for all the inspiration and wisdom we can find, is necessary for growth. But changing is doing. All the plans & schemes for improvement put together ....won't change a thing if we don't put them into action".

SO, WHAT'S EVERYBODY THINK? :rolleyes Are these little meditations too much? Or do you enjoy em? Any ideas?
Open to suggestions!at :\ .... Hugs, Judie

I won't be on board too much today & tomorro, have to go to work @ 1:00 both days & probably stay till closing:( Hope it's busy & worth it!

PS Thanks for the replys on my post... I think I'm feeling more alert Today...? Hope so for when I get to work!! :b
Got some Sour Gummy Grubs, that outta bring me outa my "Brain fog!"

excellent quote, Judie!
I hope that was directed at me, I need it, and I know it. I have all the inspiration and wisdom I need, have explored enough now, now to DO!
I looked at my journal after I posted and will get back on track TODAY. I'll have to do it without the supps, I guess, for now.
Oh well. Stop b*tching about it and DO it. Gonna go RUN now! I've got a half marathon to train for and that does not involve drinking every day like I have this week.
Thank you, Judie. Thanks, everyone. If not for being able to talk thru this, I'd be resorting to drinking more.....:x
NOT ANYMORE.
Love,
Becca
