Shall We Shrink??

Can I just tell you… this game is CRAZY! I LOVE it! It makes me wish I were home something fierce. I have been having a lazy morning… just watching the game. And the bonus is that since I am two hours behind, the game comes on at 9am, which is a little too early for a brew in my opinion, so I opted for a treadmill instead! I got in my hour of cardio during the first half, and did some big inclines. I feel so productive. ha! In any case, it made me forget about my sister and all our old traditions. Gawd, is it Thanksgiving yet?? I am so HOMESICK!

So I didn’t track what I ate yesterday for dinner until this morning. I didn’t eat much since my mouth was hurting, but when I added it up it made me go over 5 points. wtf? Maybe I am overestimating, but better safe than sorry. They built a new community center in our neighborhood so for the grand opening they served a HUGE spaghetti dinner with lots of fresh fruit, cesaer salad, cookies, and of course meatballs and bread. I was pretty good about portion control and I had just come from the gym so maybe that pasta was put to good use!

Yeah, other than that not a whole lot going on here. I have a hair appointment in about an hour. I hope she is good. I need a regular person. This waiting too long for a haircut cause I am afraid they’ll butcher my hair is NOT good for my hair at all. I have split ends, damn it! ICK!

Hope you are all having a great Saturday, and don’t forget to cheer for my NUMBER 1, OKLAHOMA Sooners!!!

Wow. Can you say neglectful? When is the last time I was here?? Drama, drama, drama. I was at a conference for a week and then I came home to my 3 year old and a bruised face, the potential of a blood disorder or leukemia. So, needless to say the weekend was stressful waiting for the appointment with the hematologist Monday. Went to that and he is fine… just some weird think that they can’t explain that will go away. Thank GOD! Then I had to go to work and play catch up delux, so I have been working extra. And, today, my first day of peace in over 2 weeks, I had to go to the chiropractor and the dentist. A little over a grand later I have an achey back and a numb face. BOO! Yeah, so not making excuses, but it has been hectic. I have missed this place!

So, let me tell you about my conference, AKA the land of calorie laden foods with no limits. Seriously. This thing was catered by the gods. Day one: apple at break. tried to drink water. left food on my plate. Day two: succumbed to the cookies on break. drank diet soda. ate most of my food and dessert. Day three: ate cookies, muffins, etc at ALL breaks, and sometimes left in between breaks for snacks. drank coffee with discusting sugary flavorings. practically licked both my dinner and dessert plates. Needless to say, those habits followed me home and it took me about 4 days to get back into the swing of things. Thankfully I have been hitting the cardio pretty hardcore and I managed to eek out a .8 pound loss for the last two weeks. How? Who knows! Today is day four of being back on track and I know I am going to see great results. Also, I got my appt with the specialist so hopefully my hormones will get in check and that will make this even easier! Here’s to hoping.

Ok, so I am going to go try to catch up on you girls. I promise I won’t desert you again!

Happy Friday!!!
