1 week till moving day. Things are slowly starting to get chaotic. I'm probably not going to get a bed till next payday and I know I will not have cable/internet for a while so I'll have to get into the library routine again. I need to anyway, there are some vamp books I want to check out. I don't have to get a Uhaul since I have really sweet neighbors who offered to help me move. So happy since I REALLY do not have the money for a Uhaul or anything else basically. The only thing I'm going to 'splurge' on is a fan because I can't sleep without one. I only have like $100 so the rest is going to be spent on food. This just cements my thoughts that staying with the VA in that department is doing nothing for me. I don't even make enough money to get essentials. My friend's got a lead on a job so I'm applying next week. I just really hate to resign my position and then they call me about another position in the hospital. Do yall realize how much paperwork that is?! It's the government! But I'm tired of holding on and going nowhere. And Fields is getting on my last damn nerve. The Im-about-to-throw-bleach-in-your-face-if-you-dont-step-off nerve. Not good.
Wendy - hope your bloating is gone away, and that you are less grumpy! How's the hubby? Enjoying the weather? I'm working the entire stupid weekend, and it's sooo nice!
Shari - moving is SO expensive! OMG, I don't know how you do it so often.. I think the move is costing nearly 10,000, but we bought new furniture, it also cost to get the phone/internet and tv hooked up. I am pinching my pennies which I get my credit card back down to something reasonable!
I am still going steady over here, counting calories, not too much with exercising yet though. I definitely need to start that soon. I was super bloated this morning and was up .2, so hopefully on Tuesday morning I can see a loss! I think I better lay off the scale soon, I think most of the water weight is gone, so the weight loss with get slower now.
Not so much bloated but still grumpy! LOL! Actually I've been down for a couple days wiht a migraine so haven't even dared to look outside because of the sun! Sucks really.
Hubby is in a lot of pain from the surgery he had on Friday, poor guy. Trying to make plans to go and see him but we are waiting a few days to see how his eye is. He wants to come up and visit here for about a week and then all drive back to where he lives for a couple weeks and then drive us home again. He just wants to be spending his time with us while he's not able to work,and I like that idea!!=)
Haven't checked the scale lately but I'm not down ant weight, been binging lots, I'm stressed these days.
Ok, I weighed in today, 141lbs.
Can't believe my 5 year old asked me it I had a baby in my tummy!My goodness, I better start shaping up! LOL! Just because I loose the weight doesn't mean I gain any sort of shape!
Wendy - you are probably just bloated, give it a few days of eating better and your tummy bloat will come down! Ugh, I hate migraines! I get them from time to time, and it's the worst. I normally have to work with them, that sucks too. Sounds like you have some plans to spend time with the hubby, thats gotta feel good!
I was sick as a dog yesterday, sore throat, headache, barfy-feeling, sore back, I just wanted to sleep forever. I came home from work, yes, all of those things happened at work yesterday, yuck, and had a nicely unhealthy dinner, and then went to bed at 8:30pm! I got up at 9am!! I am feeling MUCH better, just a little sore throat left, but with sleeping a lot tonight I should be back to normal by tomorrow. And hopefully 100% by the weekend, just found out we have a family reunion this coming up weekend! Got on the scale this morning, down to 261.0! Can't wait to be back in the 250's! Gotta be patient though, I am trying to enjoy this experience... of losing weight.. since I'm going to be doing it for a long time to hit my goal.. not all the way there yet, but getting there!
Ya, some of it is bloating...nice and some if it is the garbage I've been putting in my body, pizza pops, burgers, burritoes,chips.
Today I will behave!
Wendy - it takes a LOT of calories to gain 1 pound, you'd have to eat 11 pizza pops to gain 1 pound, 3 8oz bags of chips.. 11 burgers.. did you behave?
I am feeling all better today, plan to enjoy my day off with doing NOTHING! Maybe I'll go for a walk later, but thats about it! It's not super sunny, which is good, because then I'd maybe feel guilty for not going out..
Wendy - I totally have McD's! But I generally limit it to one cheeseburger, it's 330 calories that I can afford for that craving! I want pizza, but it's soooo bad, and I have sooo much weight to lose.. so no pizza for me!
Haven't done much today! It looks like it might rain, so I dunno about going for a walk.. I have no umbrella - it's in the car! Which Josh has at work.. maybe I should go to the pool? I am nervous to go alone because I am fat and am worried someone might make fun of me. Not too sure..
I'd just go to the pool...to **** with what other people think!At least you are doing something that will be healthy for you!!
I had a big mac meal, I think the burger alone is 550 cals, minus the sauce so only around 500! LMAO!
Today is good so far but my folks asked us over for dinner and they are having pasta, my FAVORITE!!!! Here comes trouble!
I think I'm booking a flight to US today or tomorrow! So excited!!=)
I didn't go to the pool, I baked low-ish calorie banana muffins! 157 per muffin. I haven't had breakfast yet, and a bigmac sounds good, so does pasta.. I gotta be a good girl today since I was 100 calories over yesterday, so today I plan to be 100 calories under. Gonna be eating tons of veggies!
Where in the US are you going? For some reason I thought your hubby was close enough to drive to?
I was UP on the scale this morning, 0.9! Poop! I gotta be patient, this is the part when I want to quit, because I start to lose weight slowly. Hopefully I at least lose 1 pound this week! Grr weight loss.. why must you happen so slowly!!
girls!
