well chicks its been a while, and im back and of course after a long absence I am heavier than last time. Sigh. Im in scotland now, but more about that later! Just wanted to pop in and say hi and that Im really getting back on board the weight loss boat again!!
Geez… this week is just dragging by! Not too much to report. Our business has been really slow so employees have been lurking around with nothing to do and generally freaking out because orders are just trickling in. I am freaking out too… I have no idea what this economy is going to do. Much of the stuff we manufacture requires financing, and there is basically none to be had at the moment. I am trying to remember that all things happen for a reason.
Food was good yesterday. I didn’t have any major indiscretions, however I didn’t get in any exercise either. I don’t know why that is so hard for me right now. I am going to throw some stew meat in the crock pot this morning for some yummy beef stew tonight. The weather is beckonning something warm and hearty!
Oh to make matters worse, it sounds like DH may go on strike at the beginning of December. I am not used to unions and the strike lifestyle. But the union is advising everyone to strike, however they have not released any of the details of the contract. I think it is so irresponsible. Let the workers read their contract and make their own decision. Often times the union manipulates the workers. I don’t think dh will vote for the strike, because we will lose health care benefits in January. (I dropped my old HC plan last month, so we would have to pay Cobra $1,200 a month!)
DS wanted DH to wake him up this morning before he left for work. So he did, and to all of our surprise he got up at 5 and followed his dad around all morning. LOL… unfortunately he never went back to sleep. I suspect he will be one tired boy tonight!
Well ladies… have a great day. I need to go get mine started!
You can take them away, but they will come right back… .... by loosingmore
Spent two hours removing leaves from the yard yesterday...raked, used the blower, mowed and emptied the bag about every two passes! and woke this morning to rain and wind...and a yard that looks like I never spent anytime on it yesterday! Grrrrrr......Honestly, what were we thinking when we paid extra for a “wooded lot” when we built our home??
Besides the obvious exercise I got with leave removal yesterday, I also walked/jogged on the treadmill...and yes, I sweated...LOL
Welp, scale says im down a lb. which is good. I really dont feel like going into work today. My mom text messaged me yesterday asking when it would be good for me to come over for a turkey dinner. I told her id have to talk to hubby to see when its ok with him and then she goes well im going to make it when your brother can come. Meaning that if my brother choses a day and hubby is working then i dont have to come. And knowing my mom shell make it so that her friends will be there too. I havent talked to the woman since i found out even more about the depth she was lying to me. I havent seen her since she was drunk at octoberfest over a month… we live 10 minutes away from each other. I dont call her and she never calls me. She only ever text messages me and usually its about 2 or 3 times a month. Shes probably going to make this into a drama cuz i told my brother about the savings bonds she was hiding from us. So far im estemating that shes stolen about $5,000 from me. Ugh ok enough about my mother. Hubby and i are trying to find ways to make our credit score go up. I was thinking about paying off credit cards one at a time and closing them so we dont use them. But i dont think that will help. Any advise?
Well, it took driving all over NC (not really, but it felt like it...), but thank God, we had some relatives that came through with help for the rent. And then of all things DH got paid this morning! Murphy’s law or what?
The thing that made me the maddest was that our landlord is a supposed “friend” of DH. However, he and his actual family and his adopted “family” have a problem with DH and I being together because of my past history with one of their friends…

My scale said WHAT!? .... by JustCallMeCow
Ugh. Weight this morning was 149.5. Now, I know that this is probably due to what I ate two days ago. It was fried food galore for me at Ruby Tuesdays on Tuesday night. Very greasy and VERY salty. I’m sure once I get fully back on track the extra pounds will fall right off. But wow.. what a wake up call..
Woops I posted an empty entry! Today I have been running around trying to beat flooding rivers to get a report done. I got out of the town just in time, as they were planning on closing the Highway about 20 minutes after I left. There are other ways out… but they add an extra hour to the drive. I finally got the courage to get on the scale and I am officially up 2.8lbs in one week. I have mixed feelings about it. I woke up ravenously hungry this morning, so I don’t know if I need to up my intake or bring it down.
I went out and rode last night, and my horse was a bugger! He actually bucked! He hasn’t bucked in months, but he is frustrated that we aren’t “working” as hard as he wants. I was in no danger of coming off or getting hurt. He is quite a wimp when it comes to his misbehaving, he likes to kick the wall and he gives me plenty of warning that it is coming even if I can’t make him stop it. He got in big trouble and he pouted the rest of the ride. But I was surprised that he was such a butt about it. I rode with DS at the same time and his pony bucked a couple of times too… must have been the impending storm that had them all excited!
I am in the last two weeks of my second trimester… aside from nausea, constipation, and the occassional foot in rib I feel great! Such a difference this pregnancy over last pregnancy. I really think it is because I have not gained a ton of weight. Last time I was 135 when I became preggo and the day I walked in to deliver I was around 200! This time I was 185 when I became preggo… and I am now 187. But the last few weeks the pounds are really coming on making me nervous. I have no idea HOW I ate so much last time… there is NO ROOM this time. If I eat to much I pay the price with burping and nausea. LOL… it is like I had lap band surgery or something. My goal is to not exceed 200lbs when I give birth. That gives me 13 pound buffer over the next 3 months. Does that sound reasonable? I have a lot of fat reserves, there is no need to be eating for two!
I still haven’t made it on the treadmill. Now that my energy is up, I really really need to do it.
Well ladies… have a pleasant “hump day” or whats left!
