Aimee ~ I lost the weight I gained from TOM plus 1 more this week.
I'm sure you'll hit your mini goal!
girls! I'm sure you'll hit your mini goal! After this I start a new book, 9 weeks again, this time my goal will be 9 pounds, but that'll still take me to 244! It's been almost 3 years since I've been that weight. Anyways, I am just babbling...
which is SO not possible. Anyways, thats what's going on with me... Less thinking, more doing! girls! I got in three hours of walking yesterday. Actually, it was about 4 hours but 3 of those hours were back to back. It sucks being poor and having no transportation. I was all over freakin San Anto, going to a Target, Walgreens, and Walmart because they all had really good sales on groceries that I also had coupons for. Target was a 30 min bus ride away, Walgreens 15 min. I suppose it won't have been so bad if I had started early in the day like planned. But no, I woke up in horrific pain this morning and stayed in bed till late afternoon. When I could walk, I went to the clubhouse to use the phone. I called in to work then called Susie cause I really miss my dog Pullo (she's keeping him until I get the money up for my pet deposit). She said she would come by after 6 so I rushed out to hop on the bus for Target. I shopped, waited an hour for the bus, and managed to get home a few mins before 6. I waited for 2 hours and she never showed up. With my phone being off, I had no way of calling to see where she was. Since it was Saturday, that meant it was the last day for the sale at walgreens and also my yogurt coupons would expire. So I left the house around 8, while it was still light, and hiked over to the Walmart. I tried calling Susie about six times from there but she never picked up so I left a message and took the bus to the Walgreens. It was a little after 8:30 when I got there, I got my stuff, tried calling Susie again from a payphone, and missed my bus. By this time, it's completely dark and drizzling rain. So I laced up my boots, gathered my bags and umbrella, and started the trek home. I left the Walgreens around 9pm. I got to the Walmart around 11. Since it was already late and I was walking home anyway, I did the rest of my shopping at Wallyworld. I get in line and try to pay for my things and it wouldn't take my card! Seriously?! 
One of the few times I actually have money on the card and it doesn't go through. So I ended up using the money I had in my pocket and I left around 11:20. My apartments and the Walmart are on this very busy interstate-like road that has no sidewalks. There is the hiking trail that runs behind Walmart into the river bed under the bridge but the part that is on my side of the river is just a bunch of tall grass and woods, ok to hike through when it's broad daylight, no way in **** when it's pitch black. So the only way to get home at night is to walk the road, hugging the guardrails and praying you don't have a run-in with a drunk driver, soon to be roadkill, or some jackoff who thinks it's amusing to ride the guardrails and scare the **** out of whoever has the displeasure of walking that way. I did just that, and I made it. I got past the guardrails and did a Russian march through the tall grass (I wanted any creatures lurking about to know I was coming though) until I made it to the sidestreet leading to my apartments. I stood there, breathed, and thanked the big man that I wasn't hit by a car or bit by a snake, rabid raccoon, and/or possum. I turned my head and was startled to see four deer staring at me! Two adult and two babies. I looked at them, they looked at me. One of the adults took the Bambis and walked off a few feet then stopped and looked at me again while the other adult stood his/her ground and gawked at me. I started to walk away when another deer popped its head out of the grass! We all watched each other for a few minutes then I continued my walk home. I got home a little after midnight. My back and hip hurt and my feet were swollen, I just wanted to crash. But, of course, since I had to use the money in my pocket at Walmart cause it won't take my card, that meant I had no money to put on my laundry card so I had to wash my uniform for work in the tub and hang it out before I was able to get to bed. Nice. 
Buuuttt, I guess the brightside is I got plenty of exercise, I saved $18.77 with my coupons and the store coupons, and I got my first raincheck thingie from Target (this was also my first time shopping there too). They had 80% lean beef on sale for $1.49/lb but they were all out when I got there. I've never had a raincheck receipt before and it just tickles me. 
But I am still working on things and trying to lose the weight!
