definitely midnight (12:01am-1am 9/9) ET and 10-11am ET

but there are other work-outs and 20 minute spots so it depends if you want

to catch all of the phonecalls, etc too?

<< I have been very tired lately and it has been a battle for me to get up

and workout. I have worked out a bit but not to the intensity or length that

I am use to. If it weren't for Barb previously drilling " modify, modify " in

our heads I wouldn't have worked out at all. I would of said well I am to

exhausted and instead of walking out a few sets, not using the punching bag

etc. I am just going to watch TV and have a glass of wine. So instead I

worked out and had a glass of wine. I'm far from perfect lol.

My depression has been getting a bit better. I still need to call and make

an appointment but things have been horrible an hectic. Family and friend

emergencies left and right. Co-workers quitting and me getting stuck with

their job responsabilities (this has been H-E double toothpicks).

I'm also getting very down about not being able to drive. On the way back

from Midland which is a 6 hour drive in the boonies...I asked to try

and let me drive for a minute...well it lasted abotu a minute at 50MPH. I had

a horrible panic attack. thought it was somthing out of a b-movie

because I looked like I was Lamaze breathing. I felt horrible. I just freak

behind a wheel. If I do that in rural nowhere...then its bad!!!!

I'm praying to make it till we move to Virginia, but I'm fearful of not

being able to find a good apartment to live in. It is so difficult to try and

search long distance.

<sigh>

ok enough personal venting. >>

Sorry about your driving experience. I am so glad to hear that you are

modifying. The more that people do it whom I admire (like you), the easier

it is for me to modify, too. Maybe being busy has been good for your

depression? A wise person once told me when I was complaining about feeling

old and ugly after the LA tapings, that a good way to get over that feeling

is to do something good for other people (like volunteering for Special

Olympics). I didn't follow her advice exactly, but the the advice was good

and the thought was appreciated. I wish I could help you find an apartment,

but I don't know anything about that area. If you get really nervous and

want to visit and check out places, you are welcome to stay here and I can

drive you around one weekend.

Thank you for the offer Elena. Don't be suprised if I come a knockin although I

doubt I'll have time before the move. I have been talking with some Marine Wives

online in the area trying to get an idea of what to expect.

I have been trying to do good things. More so than ever lately. I donated blood.

Have been going out of my way to bring in nice things for my coworkers. Wine,

coffee etc. I stayed late trying to help some individuals who

weren't constituents. Might as well use the skills I have when I volunteer;-)

The driving thing has hit me very hard lately. Most especially so since

can't understand why I can't drive. He knows my seizures are bothersome and part

of my story but he also knows that the other reason is horrible debilitating

panic attacks. I was so disappointed in myself because I really thought I could

drive a mile out in the country. I usually do ok on residential streets. Lol.

Every time another car came up behind me I pulled over to the side to let them

by.

It is difficult since in every other way I am a very independent person. Its

just this one thing <sigh>. I try and remind myself every day that I have been

blessed with some extrodinary things and the occassional blip in the road (no

pun intended) is no big price for that.

Joya, from what I saw of your recent picture, you can't possibly need to lose

15 pounds. You are petite!
