Becoming a Butterfly

Most of my friends know I’m a Debbie Downer most of the time.  Negative Nancy.  Bitter Betty.  You get the drift.  Something’s clicked!  Yesterday I skipped the nap and got shit done!  I did 6 loads of laundry, unloaded and loaded dishwasher, ran errands, tanned, went to gro store, took kiddo to karate, got karate’s next month homework done, art contest for kiddo filled out and ready to go, cooked dinner on the grill in the RAIN, and soooooo much more.  I even finally cleaned out our bag we’d take to the pool every day this summer…there were clothes, food, magazines, etc in there.  Yeah…really got on top of things.  So for most of the day I was in a decent mood because I felt like I was accomplishing something. 

I wrote yesterday that my weight was 212.4.  Well I weighed later after lunch at about 1pm and saw 211.  So I weighed this morning first thing and saw 210.6….then I weighed at my normal time..drum roll……209.6!  Which is what I weighed at the beginning of the month (I’d seen 208.8 too but that was a fluke I think.) . 

Anyways…I had a great OP day yesterday.  I made turkey burgers with orrowheat sandwhich thins for the buns and some crumbs from the baked bbq lays bag.  Lots of water.  I was super proud of myself.  I also had an apple before bed.  I’ve been doing that for about the last week.  I’ve found an apple called a Jonagold.  It’s a very small reddish colored apple.  I’ve had more apples in the last week than I have in a few years combined.  This morning before the gym I had one tsp of peanut butter.  It actually worked to keep my hunger pains curbed. 

I’ve got a few things to do around here, take a shower, and need to go to walmart for more halloween candy for kiddo’s karate fall festival and some groceries. 

Had some gossip/drama going on with an ex-bff.  Her hubby went missing last week.  She filed a missing persons report and hadn’t heard from him besides an email that was similar to a suicide note.  Well, while at the gym this morning a friend said hey isn’t that “so n so” on the tv.  Yep sure was.  Missing person, described what he was wearing when last seen and what to do if you know anything.  So, I call her to tell her he’s on the morning news.  Well apparently he called her yesterday, he’d been living on the streets in Las Vegas ( we live in TEXAS!).  Her father bought him a plane ticket home and they took him to the mental hospital here.  Don’t know more details than that, but it was such a freaky feeling to see someone you know on the news as a missing person.  I think he had a mental breakdown or something basically.  I just couldn’t imagine.  They have 3 kids (12, 6, 1 ages).  All girls.  The oldest is a bit emotional anyways so I’m sure this has just wrecked her.    So many questions!  I’m sure she’s got plenty herself. 

Ok…sooo thankful for my uneventful life at this point!  Thank you God!  Ok gonna get off my hiney and get movin. 

PS….I read lots of blogs this morning.  It’s nice to see majority of you in a good mood and being successful and even if you aren’t successful…you are HOPEFUL!  We can do it girls!
