Eeeeeeeeee! (The sound of excitement)

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

Every now and then, I remember that we’re leaving in four days and I get hit with a wave of excitement/nervous anticipation! This week is slower than molasses in January!

Yesterday was spot on. I had planned on cobb salad for dinner, but after the turkey bacon was already cooking, I checked the fridge and gasp- no lettuce. Scratch that idea. We ended up having scrambled eggs, whole grain toast and some of the bacon. We were done by 5:30 and out the door by 6 to go on a long, long walk - 5.5 miles in an hour and a half. I was BEAT by the time we got home! Well, I was exhausted anyway the whole day… recovering from the weekend, plus it got up to almost 90 yesterday so it was too hot to run in the afternoon. That won’t be the plan today, though. I brought my stuff to go running at lunch time so I can get it over with when it’s not too warm out. I haven’t run since Friday…yikes!

Tomorrow I need to find another dress or two to wear to dinner on vacation. Also, we have a big customer event coming up in mid-July, and we are all supposed to go to a formal dinner one night, so I have to find a cute outfit to wear. I don’t want to spend a whole lot, but we’ll see where I end up.

I’ve really got to stop putting myself down, especially in front of my husband. I’d get tired, sad or annoyed if he talked about himself like that all the time. I joke about it, self depricating humor is funny to me, but I’m sure there is a truth to it in how I really see myself. Just something I really need to work on.

Nothing much to say today. McDonald’s small nonfat, sugar free vanilla lattes are the best. 80 calories and much cheaper that Crackbucks.

I like the mcd’s coffees too…and you are right, much cheaper. LOL

GL finding great buys on the clothes. A bunch of stores are already starting to mark down their summer stuff, so you may get lucky! :)

I do the same thing you do with putting myself down in front of dh, and I don’t really know why I do it…I think it’s complicated. but he has actually asked me on occasion to stop doing it. Like you, I need to work on that.

I haven’t tried the coffees, but I would be worried about being tempted to eat something else there if I went. Its totally dress season out there in the shops and most of them are on sale!
