bring me java, bring me joy

The coffee worked like a charm.
DH was up all night with a stomach bug that’s been plaguing the staff at the highschool. He woke me at 4:30 to let me know he was driving out to the school to drop off his lesson plans and call in sick.  That’s kind of a big deal for [...]

fruit machine

171.6lbs today.
Have a hotel room booked monday night. We’re leaving at 6am monday morning. I’m a little annoyed by that but whatever. At least we’re going.
Going to try chasing my fiber one cereal with a cup of coffee and see if that does anything for me.

Yes.

Spring break is rapidly approaching.
The last few weeks, DH and I have hemmed and hawed over possibilities on how to spend some of our spring break time.  I’m back to working 40 hour weeks (probably for a limited time only) and my schedules are not set until the friday before the next schedule begins on [...]

you can learn to get along

I’ll let you in on a little yoga secret. Yoga is much easier when you don’t have a big belly in your way.
At least it is for me.
171.8 this morning. I feel like screaming, kinda. I’d gotten so used to seeing great drops on the scale. I guess this really is a plateau.  For those [...]

AUGH!!!

172.0 this morning.
I was excited for James to take his nap because I had really enjoyed doing TBL Cardiomax yesterday (with Bob!) and I was looking forward to trying it again today. Even though my thighs, butt, and abs were really sore. (matter of fact, DH was feeling frisky last night but I could hardly [...]

Yesterday morning I weighed in at 174.0 which admittedly was a little surprising to me. I thought it would be higher. All day yesterday I was [...]

I don’t know what I’m talking about.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m having great difficulty putting my weight loss accomplishments into perspective.

let’s shake and trade and be on our way

So.
I had a bit of a cloud hanging over my head today. It would have been bigger had Andrea not talked me down a little bit last night. Thanks Andrea. You’re a real friend and I wish you could only friggin live here.  After last night I was unsure how to approach any of those [...]

but we carried on anyway

Here is some cheese to go with all that whine I offered yesterday.
…Here is just a little more.
After wrestling with the idea all day and getting some encouragement from one of my co-workers, I decided I really did need to share  how I was feeling with DH. I will say this. It could have got [...]

cause all the company calls amount to one paycheck

So there is good news and there is bad news.
The good news is that today, after two weeks of being bad and then making up for being bad, I’m back at 174.0 which is a new low. Yay.  the bad news is I feel like I completely wasted two weeks. Given my impressive record of [...]
