how are all of you?? i havent been posting too much lately and when i do get the chance to read some, i run out of time before i can post anything. im actually in the middle of having the worst feeling IBS C attack in a really long time  usually i drink my tea and acacia in the morning but ive been so busy that i havent really had time to sit down and enjoy it! sometimes i make it and take it with me but it gets cold before i can drink it. i had also ran out of my psyllium and didnt take any for 2 days and got *major* C!! right now im feeling a little OKAY but am feeling like i have just taken some laxatives b/c my lower pains are so bad! my sleep is a little messed up but i have to get on a schedule b/c my car is broken and im relying on trains/buses and i need to be awake early enough to catch their departure times. *sigh*---im a little stressed, and feeling a little more stressed. i asked my dad for my own apartment for my birthday next year [june--21!] but now my BF and i are looking for a sooner move-out, move-in date so the fear of having enough money is closing in on me a bit. and plus the holidays are coming soon which is also a little stressful [i need to divide up my time between my parents] and presents----  i think im about to get a raise at work b/c ive almost been there a year but nothings written in stone. and yesterday i got a horrible write-in complaint from a nasty customer about an issue totally out of my hands. *bummed* yesterday was my veg-out day but b/c of all the C i just felt bloated, fat and uncomfortable. been sipping on some organic OJ but not getting the cramp relief expected. *sigh* thought i would post an update but im planning to keep up with my food log. and ive been having the best time shopping for my yummy foods so hopefully ill be back on track soon. hugs guys. peace~

Good to see you! I haven't been around as much either but I was wondering how you were doing! Sorry to hear about your C woes... ugh, it's never ending, isn't it? I totally sympathize, because I'm trying to "play" with my diet a little so I can lose some weight, and I'm finding out that even with an SFS, I get C if I don't eat a TON of food every day. So I'm increasing the SFS more and hoping for the best... if that doesn't work, I guess I'll just have to accept being 30lbs overweight, and I'm not happy about that at all.
Other than THAT whole problem, things are going ok - money worries like crazy, with winter coming, but it's fall here now and it's SO beautiful, and it's hard to be too upset when everything around you is so perfect.
I hope you can get your tummy back in line! And as for the rest of the stress... just breathe. When you get overwhelmed, try to just pick one thing to worry about. Everything is more manageable in baby steps.
*hugs* back atcha!

and thanks  thats such great advice. i think all i can think about is money b/c you need it to live. i hope that doesnt make me sound too much like a grinch but im starting to feel the trapped feeling of work. a little more like an overworked ant!
maine must be beautiful!! a long time ago i picked that as one of the places id like to visit. got any pictures of the scenary?? i got out on sunday to take some pics at this awesome park with all these random sculptures done by passing artists in chicago. some are so surreal and strange that staring at them is the best enjoyment.
i think my tum is getting back to its old self again. just today was the worst in a long time  i really should change the "halfway stable" underneath my name!! and i know what you mean about the C/wanting to lose weight. i cant decide if i want to lose some pounds or if i want to shape up. isnt it if you shape up though, you lose anyway? i met with my grandpa for lunch last week, whom i havent seen for 11 years, and i showed him my vacation pics and in one, he asked "whos that?" he was shocked when i said me and replied "but your face looks so chubby!" ugh!!! it was the worst! but ive been doing my own shopping @ WF and buying tons of veggies and "experimental" foods too! id like to start working out too but i think im gonna have to make my work my workout since i never have time. i plan to start taking the train and biking to the station. its about a mile so hopefully ill see some change!! are you a monitor of the IBS boards?? i never see you post! really glad to hear from you!! take care~

Well, I'd hardly be one to lecture about money because it's all I worry about too! Not that I'm working my butt off or anything, just that money is a constant worry when you live in an area where there isn't work!
Maine IS beautiful, though. I do have some pictures of the scenery - go to this page http://www.flickr.com/photos/atomicrose/ and click the "Maine" icon on the left. That sculpture display at the park sounds so cool! I'd love to see a few of those - that's the sort of thing that never happens up here. I guess we don't have artists up here. LOL
Depends how you shape up, as to whether or not shaping up equals losing weight. If you really start working with weights and toning up, you might get heavier, as muscle weighs more than fat. Me, I just really hate working out in any way, and that's my big struggle. But I try to console myself with the knowledge that although I'm 30lbs overweight, I do eat really well. I eat a more balanced diet than I've ever eaten in my life, with lots of fruits and veggies, plenty of protein, etc - and that's gotta count for something, right?
Yep, I'm a moderator - I've been around, just not as much this past summer. I've been too busy getting out and doing things, and there's nothing wrong with that either!
Glad you're feeling a little better, and I hope the bike riding works out well for ya! Take care!
