Evening Ramblings
What a rainy, dreary, miserable day. Hmph. Suppose I can’t complain too much. The past week was beautiful. Sigh.
Yesterday was an awful day food wise. I started out good but then I got home and got crazy munchies. I went to the bowling alley to watch my two friends, brother & cousin bowl on their league. That was fun. Ash & and I ended up getting chili fries and then she got a pretzel which I had a small piece of. After the bowling alley we went to Croxleys. Sigh. Twenty or so chicken wings and a REALLY good beer cocktail (Sam Adams Cherry Wheat topped off with Guinness) I was a stuffed Thanksgiving turkey. Sigh. However, I enjoyed myself. I laughed with friends and had a wonderfully enlightening conversation with Amanda. I never heard the story of how her and Christine came to be so we sat outside of my house at 1:15am and talked for a half hour about it. We also talked about how and why she travels. How she asks questions to every person she encounters because she wants to learn something from that person. I talked about Drew a bit and how I’m nervous to have to navigate NYC by myself. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m going to do it. There is no going back. I want to be with Drew and if I have to find my way out of the big bad city then I’m going to do it. If I get lost, I’m going to find my way out. It’s as simple as that.
Today has been okay. Food hasn’t been to terrible. My menu plan was:
- cottage cheese doubles, tall coffee w/ half and half - 200
- 1 cup multi-grain cheerios - 110
- ww meal, banana - 400
- grande light java chip frappacino - 250?
- 1 whole egg, 1 egg white, cheese, 2 pc turkey bacon on ww light bread - 280
- sun chips - 200
- coffee w/ ff hazelnut creamer - 60
Hmm. The midday coffee from Starbucks was WAY too many calories. Right now they are doing the treat receipts so I got it for two bucks. Even so.. at 250 calories (maybe more) I should have passed it up. The sun chips were a bad choice too. I could have had a piece of fruit or some popcorn for less. Maybe I should have skipped the chips and just enjoyed my evening cup of coffee. Breakfast, morning snack and lunch are always good.. it’s always AFTER lunch that’s the problem =/ I’ve got to figure out how the hell to stop that. I always get a sweet craving right after lunch. Perhaps I should keep a fiber one bar on hand. The peanut butter one usually does the trick for me. Then I won’t be tempted by a high calorie drink or a candy bar at work. Hm.
Anyway. In other news. Last night I met Katies friend Marley. She’s a lesbian and I thought it was funny and quite flattering when Katie texted me this morning and said after we left Croxleys Ale House Marley asked Ashley how long she’s known me and in the middle of conversation blurted out “She’s effing HOT and has a great smile!” *Blush*..it was extremely sweet and definitely boosted my ego a little bit =) Also, Ashley, Katie and I have joined a bowling league. It starts in September and is on Wednesdays at 9:30pm. I’m really excited about it. It’s called “The Lousy Bowlers league” so it’s not like we have to be any good. It’s really just to get ourselves involved. It’ll be a nice bonding experience and at the end of it they give trophies and have a huge buffet. It’ll be nice. Maybe make some new friends. I’m excited about it =)
Tomorrow I was supposed to be off but I’m taking on a few more hours this week since I’ll be away in CT for most of August and will lose a lot of pay. I’m not sure how I’m going to swing train tickets, bills AND spending money. Oh, I’m also starting to give my mother fifty dollars a week for rent. It was my idea. Mom needed the help and I’m not one to sit by and do nothing. I live here rent free. I take care of all my own bills and food shopping but more can always be done. So.. tomorrow I don’t have too much planned at all. Thinking about doing laundry, getting to the gym and that’s pretty much it. Work is at 3:30pm so I’ve got the whole morning/afternoon to do with what I will. Should be nice. May head to the gym around noon. We’ll see what I feel like doing.
Haven’t weighed myself in a while. I’m worried with all the drinking last weekend and salt in take from the wings last night and whatever else I’ve been putting into my body =/ Gonna have to make the next few days very low-cal if I want to see my 157.5 again.. Sigh. Gotta get control over myself.
Anyway, I’ve written A LOT. Time to get off this stupid machine. Drew is calling me tonight after work. I can’t wait to hear his voice. I miss him so much.. =(

The bowling league sounds like a lot of fun!

The diet looks healthy balanced & yummy, so a few extra calories for dinner one night aren’t such a big deal.
Sounds like you are facing a lot of personal growth in your living situation, your friendships, your relationships…. just take the time to check in with yourself as you go through these changes, and be gentle with yourself, because they can all bring on stress. Don’t add to the life stresses by beating yourself up about your weight loss (or stall) - forgive and move on.
You seem like a very strong and balanced person.
