It’s Tangent Day!!

Today’s weigh-in: 167.6 really?? FUCKING REALLY??!! WTF?  My scale is obviously involved in a right-wing conspiracy with the elliptical. They probably shot JFK too. What a total Monday.
If I were one of those people who didn’t eat when under stress, I would weigh 12 pounds right now. But I am not, so I weigh slightly [...]

Now I’m worried

A.M. weigh-in: 165.0 (I do not get it!)
My 16 yr old told me they had to switch summer school classrooms yesterday. Because one of the students is being tested for swine flu. There are multiple cases and a couple of deaths in our area from it. I came home from dropping Jason at school and [...]

Stress level just hit code RED!

I’m freaking out just a wee bit. Landlord just called and asked if its ok for him to bring the furnace guy over to service our furnace. Tomorrow. At noon. Sure, no problem, right?
Except that tomorrow is both daughter’s graduations. My 18 year old from high school that night and my preschooler from Pre-K that [...]

Not sure how??

A.M. weigh in: 157.8 (really? I should eat kettle corn and frozen junior mints at midnite more often!)
I’m running on about 5 hours of sleep. Not due to sick children this time. Nope. Took my two older boys to the midnight showing of Terminator Salvation. I acknowledge that that is totally crazy. I’m ok with [...]

Throwing in the Towel

A.M. weigh in: I don’t wanna know - my clothes are all tight. I bought bigger pants the other day. It’s not good. And I can’t handle any more bad news right now.
The healthiest thing I ate yesterday was a Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad from Jack in the Box. Mostly I ate Doritos, Cheez-its, Twinkies, [...]

Water Water Everywhere

Thanks Katy for the water-intake check. I do drink tons… but it’s mostly Coke Zero. I do try to drink a few mugs of tea a day, but I miss some days. It’s probably caffeine overload. My neurologist would probably shoot me if he knew how much caffeine I consume - not good for someone [...]

Ready to tackle life head-on!

A.M. Weigh-in: 149.2 (at least I’m back in the 140s)
I am wondering if PMS is really kicking my ass more than usual lately. The week plus before my period I seem to get totally crazy, lose focus, can’t concentrate and eat beyond out of control because I just plain do not care at all. My [...]

Still crazy after all this time…

A.M. Weigh-in: 149.6
Thanks for the comments and suggestions everyone. Beerab, I’m definitely going to try that next time. We made it through with no earaches last night, so I’m hoping that phase is over. At least for the time being.
I started out today thinking that yesterday was more of an aberration. I felt better this [...]

The hungry caterpillar

That is exactly how I feel. Like I just want to eat and eat and eat. I’m not sure if I’m really hungry or not. I kinda feel hungry. Definitely not starving. And low energy. I feel like just curling up into a warm ball and sleeping. Right now. At my desk, well under it.
I [...]

I got what I deserved

Tonite is the end of two very stressful days. My computer at work DIED. Motherboard burned out. I’m filling in for the secretary of my stepdad’s company along with doing my regular jobs. Surprise, Sean has minimum days this week, he gets out of school before all the other kids, so I have to go [...]
