Meh. January 31, 2008
So, I’ve been hanging strong at 189. Which is pretty cool, because I thought it was a fluke for sure.
I’m tired and grumpy. It’s TOM and I’m not happy about that. I’m contemplating getting my uterus and all it’s corresponding parts removed. That might help the weightloss effort! Okay, maybe not. But I am tired. And I feel like eating. Something fried, to be specific.
The last few days have been pretty okay. Not too bad, not too good. Tuesday night I ended up staying late at work and drove home in a big ole snow storm. So, I didn’t make it out to the gym, or out to get poor Sierra her walk. I had my typical yogurt for breakfast. Then, things went awry. I couldn’t break away from work to go home and eat anything tasty (and walk Sierra) so I got stuck with McDonalds. I had the chicken mcnuggets and fries. The calorie damage wasn’t too bad, but I didn’t enjoy it because it wasn’t what I really wanted. Since I got home late, I was STARVING. I ended up eating two bean and cheese quesadillas (each quesadilla is one tortilla folded in half). But, I was HUNGRY. And, I don’t do well with hungry.
Yesterday we went out to lunch for a coworker’s bday. I had the world’s best clam chowder, half a steak sandwich, and some kettle chips. And it was good. Their clam chowder is totally different than most new England clam chowder. It’s got a bunch fo veggies in it, and spices that just make it… mmm. Yum. If you’re ever in Tahoe you MUST go to the Blue Angel café and have their clam chowder. My sandwich had fresh mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, onions, and peppers. So good. I could only eat half though. I wanted to eat more, but I was full. Now, the kettle chips… mm. Excuse me as I drool on myself. They make their kettlechips homemade, and they’re not greasy or overly salty. Then they serve them with garlic aioli… heart be still! Lunch took up my whole lunch hour, and so once again, I didn’t get a chance to take Sierra out for a walk. (though DH took her for a really long one in the morning) When I got home, we had to take our friend’s daughter home, and then had a meeting with a local pastor about helping out with their youth group. So, most of our night was consumed with that. We did manage to eek in some dinner- pulled BBQ chicken swiches (inspiration via our lovely shrinking goddess).
I’m feeling really apathetic right now. And chubby. I haven’t been writing every day, whish is probably part of it. And I haven’t used mydailyplate in a week. My eating has been good, but I’m having such a hard time getting to the gym. Right now DH is working a crazy 7 day a week schedule. And Sun- Tuesday he works until 10 or 11 or stays overnight. So I really only have a good chance of seeing him on Wed-Fri nights. Thursday night we have family dinner night with our really good friends, and so I can’t go then. I try to make myself go in the mornings, but I just can’t do it. And I want this whole thing to be fun and not feel like something I HAVE to do. Right now, it’s something I WANT to do. But, if I want to keep this class, I have to figure out how to get in 19 more hours before Feb 15th. And then go 6 hours a week. So, I think I’m going to have to drop the class, and start the 6 week class instead (which I think starts in 2 weeks) I’m thinking that I should make DH sign up too, so he can go with me Wed and Fri nights. Hmm. We shall see.
Ugh. I just want a doughnut. And a nap. Then another doughnut.
Hey there, neverperfect!
If I ever do make it up to Tahoe (never been there, but I want to go!) I will try to hit up the Blue Angel Cafe, I swear. I will make a considerable effort.
Is it just me, or is everyone getting hit with their T.O.M. just as I got off it? Jeez. First Leanmoomercows and now you! I feel bad for you guys, I hate the T.O.M… then again, very few women like it. The good thing is that you burn around 250 more calories while you have it, but it inspires bad binges. I was eating a lot more while I had it… it added on average about 300 more calories into my food. Yuck. I know how you feel. I wanted donuts and sleep on my T.O.M. too. You aren’t chubby! You are doing wonderfully holding out at 189. Just hang in there, and you’ll make it out fine. I know you can do it. =)
