TGIF :( January 9, 2009
TGIF? not really. I never get to enjoy a friday. I always work every friday and saturday. I have for years. Its my way of avoiding day care, and being able to be a stay at home mom (for the most part) during the week. However, i am really getting sick of never having a weekend off. DH works during the week, i work on the weekend. It’s worked well so far. we see each other sunday- thursday evenings. Sometimes, i dont think its enouph though. I think i am just ready for a nice family vacation. unfortuneately i know that will be a long way off. DH needs a lot of dental work, which is going to be a pretty penny even after insurance. I should have became a dentist! those people make so much freaking money for just an hour or so of work. So basically I am just complaining because it seems like all we do is work, and take care of our kids. We hardly ever get vacations, and forget about time to ourselves. Shit, we dont ever even get a night to be alone because the kids are always around. No grandparents left alive. At the most one or two of them stay at a friends house for a night, but we always have my 5 yr old DD. I guess Im just feeling sorry for myself. I just want to get away for a few days. It’s never going to happen. OK, bitching session over 
Did a great spin class this morning before work, ate good all day. I have a feeling the scale will be disappointing this week since its TOM. (hey maybe thats why im cranky ;) I feel like my weight loss has been at a stand still since before christmas. I really need to see a loss soon or I will scream! Everyone is still complimenting me and saying i look good ect…. (which i totally appreciate) but, when I dont see results on the scale, or in the mirror, it is just frustrating. On a good note, my twin sister, who started this weight loss thing with me (who got off track for a few months) Is now back to it with gusto! she joined a biggest loser challenge and started logging in on the dailyplate. She also joined a gym. Im so excited to have a partner in crime on this journey again. It makes it so nice to have someone (other than on the internet) no offense, to talk to about everything. well, i’m off to do more work. hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
B- fruit smoothie with nonfat yogurt and honey
S- honey nut cheerio’s and light soy milk
L- salad with itialian dressing, spinach
D- rice and beans, orange
S- whole grain noodles with asparagus and small amt of ham
pre work out snack-sausage, egg mcmuffin ( not a good choice)
but then i went and worked out for two hrs at the gym saturday morning after work. I did an hr of weights and an hr of spin class 
total cals- 1850, burned about 800 (guestimate)
I totally understand your need-a-vacation-pain! This vacation that we just took was (with the exception of 3 days in 2004) the first vacation we’d taken since 1998. OMG that’s too long to wait!!!
That is so cool that your sister is with you on the journey now!! Woohoooo!!
How exciting that your sis is getting so involved. I tried to find a local BL contest and had no luck. A vacation does sound to be in order. Even if it’s just 2 nights. My DH schedule varies. Currently his Friday is a Wednesday. And my teen son does not have school on Mondays, so it’s a weird kind of schedule.
As for your comment on my blog about TOM, I was thinking about how alot of women seem to have TOM at the same time, and sometimes it’s around a full moon. I was thinking of this while driving with a tad bit of road rage the other day when I was pre-TOM and I thought how men should be afraid, be very afraid….
Nice job on the spin class and the eating right. Congrats onyour success for this week. Hang in there.
