Weds…1/2 way… .... by tkt117
Morning Ladies! It is a stormy dark day here in the Northwest. I LOVE IT! I don’t know why, mabye because I was born and raised here, but I love the rain every once in a while. Gives me an excuse to hunker down inside, cuddle up in the big leather chair, and indulge myself with a good book.
DS wants a hair cut today. But he refuses to go to the salon. (I can’t say as though I blame him, everytime he tells them NOT to cut it short. And everytime they give him a buzz cut.) Last time he cussed the lady out and started to cry. So I have been reluctantly giving him his hair cuts, but last time I screwed up as well. But he still wants me to cut it before school. I should do it now, while it still has a couple of weeks to grow out!
We went to the barn last night, and I got to ride. It felt GREAT! I miss it. My horse was mad that he has been neglected and let me know about it by sending a few “nips” my way. But after a few minutes he settled in and was happy to be going! Tonight my friend is going to take me out in her cart and let me drive. I am excited and nervous! I hope the storm front passes through before this afternoon so we don’t have to cancel.
I got a lot of walking in yesterday. So even though I didn’t climb on the treadmill, I feel like I got some movement. Food was well under in cals… nothing new there. I am still having a hard time choking down any liquids. Doc said drink little bits often, but I don’t see that that is helping. I tend to wait until I am sooooo thirsty that I down a bottle of water in 30 seconds. LOL… then I really feel bad.
Well I better get going and get everyone up and about. Have a great weds!
DS11 orientation to middle school went well yesterday...I copied a map of the school for him, his locker combo info, and his day to day schedule...put it in a plastic sleeve and told him to put it in his binder for school. He was really nervous about figuring it all out, so we spent more time than I thought we would walking to his classrooms and trying out his locker combo. Atleast I got some walking in! LOL Then we went to the mall and had Panera for lunch. I had the yummy fresh tomato and mozarella salad and an iced tea, no sweetner or sugar.
I can’t even tell you girls how beautiful it is outside right now. I just HAVE to get out there today and enjoy some of that fresh air. Bright blue skies, cool crisp air… gorgeous.
Yesterday wasn’t a great day food wise and the scale reflected my bad eating. It could have been much worse though. Work went by with not many problems. Pretty quiet actually. I got Halloween carry over merchandise unpacked from last year. That took a whole 20 minutes. The rest of the day was helping customers and reading my book. Not bad. I went to the gym and was excited to see that Diana was covering for Karen. From what I had rememberd of Diana she was a really good trainer. Um, not last night. Ladies, I have never been so strongly inclined to leave after the first ten minutes of a class. She kept the music on so low that you could practically hear yourself breathing. Her moves were repetitve and boring. It was just terrible. I finished off the class, barely, and left even though I normally do the second one. I was so disgusted. Instead of lounging around the store until Ashley got off of work I went food shopping. I took my time, looked at sale prices, figured out what I could make for lunches and dinners for the rest of the week. I got turkey burgers, turkey bacon, perdue baked chicken cutlets, kashi cereal, lean cuisines, brown rice, salsa, tuna fish, light spaghetti sauce, apples, bananas, nectarines, onions, potatos, lettuce, broccoli, milk, black cherry sparkling water, bottled water, nutrigrain bars, whole wheat bread, cheese, rice pudding and some other stuff. My total came to about 95 dollars so I’m pretty secure with food for the next couple of weeks. Oh! I got these cute little package of baby carrots that are already in their own little packages so I can just grab them for a snack and go. So cute and easy. What more could you want from your food? I went home after food shopping, had dinner which was some roasted chicken w/ salsa in a whole wheat wrap. I ended up having a buffalo chicken strip that mom got too. Let’s move on from that… I watched the ball game with my family and then headed to bed to finish my book and get to sleep.
Temp Agency called me and im working today and tomorrow. No clue where and all i know is im doing clerical work. Oh joy… Food isnt packed, i was still sleeping when they called and they said get there in an hour. Im not sure i like this agency business. We shall see
Just got back from walking to walmart. I walked around the plaza. Went to staples to see if my friend was working (she wasnt). Popped into Fashion bug to see if they had anything new. Went into walmart and bought ballet slippers for me and the bridesmaids so we can party it up at the reception with out getting out feet disgustingly gross. I didnt get a pair for the bridesmaid from hell. She still wont answer her phone. I also bought the second book from the twilight series called new moon. (that is the second one isnt it nikki??) Then i walked back home bag in hand. I just mapquested it and i walked 2 miles. Damn im out of shape. Im sitting here in my undies with the A/C blowing on me drinking my gallon jug of water cuz im so over heated. BUT!!! i did walk and im def not in the mood to eat anything LOL
Everything is going well. I’m tired from working those long hours the past two weeks. My boss told me this morning that he has a doctor’s excuse from B. and that I’m scheduled to have a three day week end off. However, I’m to keep my cell phone with me at all times.
Need to make a few modifications on my weight loss program. I’ll list those at the end of the week.

I just want to say what an absolute WONDERFUL, caring, group of ladies you all are!! I have been lurking on another discussion board, and eegads, I am just absolutely appauled by the mean, rude, attackful behavior of some people. I guess I am so used to the way we all treat one another, I am even more astonished at the childish remarks some make. It makes me very grateful to have found such support here! I luv you all!
Hey ladies! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was quite uneventful. Went to the barn on Saturday, spent most of Sunday in bed feeling horrible. Seems to be a pattern here. Today I am home with ds as our daycare provider is on vaca. He just wants to hang out at home and be a couch potato. So I will work on some stuff from home and try and get caught up.
Weight is back down to 175, so I am still not gaining weight yet. I really detest food. Imagine that! I HATE food. I never thought it was possible, but it is true. I would be perfectly content to never see, smell or taste food ever ever again. (I am sure this will pass in the next couple of weeks once the morning sickness susbsides.) But for now… I wonder if this is how skinny people feel?
Unfortunately I feel so bad that I can’t work out either. So I fear that some of that weight loss is probably muscle loss from not being nearly as active as I was before. But the doc said that in a couple of weeks I will feel better. Then I can start kickin some treadmill butt!
Not too much else to report. I hope everyone had a great weekend.
and completely stressed out. Bridesmaid from hell wont answer the phone at all for us. I think she knows whats coming and she doesnt want to hear it. So far we have only 88 people out of 210 invitations sent out that have responded either yes or no. Todays mail hasnt come yet but i know at least 4 will be in there.
The job interview was a flop. The interview went well but they need me to work from 830-530 but i have school about 20 minutes away that starts at 530. I didnt even tell her about needing time off for the wedding. What i hate is that they tell you we will call you at the end of the week to let you know either way and you know that if you dont get hired that they arent going to call you. Why do they even bother saying it? UGH Anyway next job interview is in 2 hours with a staffing agancy. Im not sure if a staffing agency is the way to go. But i guess a job is a job even if its a temperary one right?
