Today’s Weight: 148.8
Down 1.2 from last official weigh in, but up a little from an UNofficial WI yesterday, grrr. lol. Oh well, I can’t complain, it was un-official! Maybe I should WI more frequently while I work on this 4/7 goal … might not be a bad idea.
Yesterday food and exercise were both perfect. Ate right on plan, nothing unplanned, no night time snacking. Did my Firm Get Chiseled weights DVD, and then added 20 min on the treadmill.
I am NOT in the mood to work, at all. You know - it is just one of those days that I feel like I will not be productive. Like I need a mental health day. Or mental health week! :) Well at least I can rest this weekend. I am already panicking … it’s Tuesday and I have no plans! Why do I do that? Why do I have the urge to SCHEDULE every moment of my life? I do that every day. It works well for working and getting things accomplished at home … but it’s crazy that I can’t take one weekend to myself and spend it just relaxing. It’s just the way I am. So far, weather says rain (naturally!) but it will change 16 times in the next few days, so who knows. I still want to do that hike but I keep thinking about what Mel said … not to go alone … and I don’t have a friend who will really want to go with me. And I like going alone, I like the quiet. But I totally understand her point.
Today’s Food Plan:
B: Egg beaters on Thomas light multigrain english, coffee
S: If needed, almonds or apple
L: LC Lemon Chicken
S: Strawberries w/ FF cool whip (actually brought a little container, lol)
D: Burgers, baked fries. BEEF - not turkey - but 93% lean
Exercise: Firm or Jillian DVD, treadmill depending on length of workout
So yesterday my boss did something very nice - he bought me a new iPod Touch. Lmao! My 3rd! Okay, Apple has officially made $900 off of me in the course of 3 months, ridiculous. But this is my LAST, and if I lose it, I have to stand in the corner for a week. :lol: He felt really bad about my last one being lost/stolen. It should be here Thursday, in time for my train ride Friday - yippee! I plan on buying a case with a huge LEASH or something attached, SOMETHING, so I can keep track of it easy.
I miss SBFF. Even though she lives 1.5 hours away, we still talk daily and text throughout the day. Now we get one 15 minute phone call each evening, lol. She sounds soooo good! I am so thrilled for her. I hope this continues once she is home - which is supposed to be Wednesday or Thursday. Depending on how that goes and what she has planned this weekend, I may take a drive up to see her.
I watched Steve Harvey talking about his book and single women and dating on Oprah yesterday. He was funny and parts of it were interesting. I had checked out the book before on Amazon, but I recall some of the reviews saying it was more like comedy, but it’s supposed to be more like a self help book. Anyway, I won’t be buying it, lol.
I may be back later to add more … for now, let me publish and get to work. Sigh!

Oh I am so glad to hear SBFF is doing well. That must be a great relief to you!!
I think we spend so much time planning for ourselves, and our kids and our families, that when the calendar isn’t all marked up with “stuff” it just doesn’t feel right.
Yeah to a new IPOD!! and so nice of boss!! Were the other two touches as well? kids want to get touches, but I want to know if it is worth them spending their money on it.

Glad to hear your friend is doing well. Sounds like she maybe finally got the right kind of help.
I love my weekends with nothing planned, well nothing aside from the usual cooking, chores and gym that is. Somehow I cannot seem tog et away from that stuff! Saying no to plans should be your next goal.
That was nice of your boss to do that for you. I am just as happy with my 30.00 MP3 player and so far I haven’t pulled a Kelly and lost it

How nice of your boss! Good luck with this iPod, hope you enjoy it for a looong time! Your experience sort of reminds me about sunglasses - after spending more than I felt necessary on a couple pairs (at bf’s urging) and losing or damaging them, I just decided to go with the inexpensive ones and not worry about them.
Great to hear your friend is doing better. Hope you can see her soon - that might be your weekend plan! If you hike alone, will you be in a spot where your cell phone gets a signal? Be careful!!

OMG… that was so nice!!!! Can I work for your boss? Although I have a feeling that you more than earned that iPod! I am the oposite… I like to have NOTHING scheduled! That sloth in me coming out! Glad to hear SBFF is doing better!

I love my iPod touch I got for xmas. But it was a re-furb, I think I would have been unhappy if DH had bought a new one. I really don’t use much but the MP3 player part anyway. Either way, very cool of your boss!
Maybe fake yourself out and schedule 3 hrs to go to a movie alone? Definitely don’t hike alone unless you know a popular trail that will have enough people on it. It’s just not worth it, even for the tranquility, to put yourself in such an unsafe situation.

I’m so jealous. I’ve been wanting the ipod touch, actually, I want the iphone, imac etc…. I shouldn’t complain. I did spoil myself by buying a new macbook pro. Love it. It’s so light.

You need a hiking buddy! I, too am always tempted, but even my walks have been tempered by the mountain lion sighting 100 feet from my back door. Check out the local scene and see if there is a hiking club–who knows, you may even meet your dreamboat!
