Shari - yikes!! I can't imagine having nightmare's about work! But yes, thats a good reason to get out of there!
Wendy - good question! I find weight loss either VERY hard or easy... on occasion it's both at the same time.. very odd. I guess it's a question of decisions, yes I could decide to have cake for breakfast lunch and dinner, but it's so not worth it, being present for each and every food decision can be really tiring. To make it easier I keep lots of things in the house that I can have, lots of those Thinsations, I think we bought 4 different types, I don't have them daily, but if I have a craving I know I can have that instead of indulging in something worse.
I am off today today too, and am on day 3 of being sick, yuck. I woke up at 4am Saturday morning and thought I was gonna throw up for a couple hours, still not fully recovered. Yesterday I went out with my grandma and aunt (shouldn't have, but thats another thing), we went to some country fair thing, Honey, Garlic and Maple Syrup Festival.. my grandma went to see an old friend perform. I was too exhausted to look around so I just hung out with her. It was interesting anyways!
So I woke up this morning, got on the scale, and wondered how in the **** did I gain 2 lbs when I ate pretty well and got in some good exercise this week?! I wasn't expecting a big loss but come on. I got my answer this afternoon.....TOM. I'm relieved he came this week though since TBL challenge starts next week. Not changing my ticker cause I know it's water weight and I'm going to be good this week so next WI will be good.
Wendy ~ That's a universal question! Who knows? How are you doing?
Aimee ~ I hope you feel better! Lately, I've been wanting to go to a fair so bad! It's weird, I haven't been to one since I was like in the 11th grade.
Not doing so good, Eating is terrible, have stomach problems and trying to avoid most foods right now but the low blood sugar makes me have to have sweets constantly. Migraines galore right now too, really sucks. I miss my hubby and am stressed over his next surgery. Last thing on my mind right now is dieting. ACK! Enough venting!
Shari - I dunno if fair is the best way to describe it, we were in the hockey arena where they set up a stage with performers, and there was a ton of vendors around selling honey, garlic and maple syrup. No rides, and not really any junk food! We were starving and the only thing we could find to eat was french fries. It was interesting, I should have taken more pictures!
Wendy - Yikes! Sounds like things are rough right now I'm sorry to hear that. Forget dieting, take care of you body! Less junk food might help with migraines, I find they don't bother me as much when I'm watching what I'm eating. Don't forget water. Hope things get better soon!
Shari - yeah, not so much the fun country fair.. but we only went to see the one performer, he is someone my grandma has known for 25 years. Now I can say that I went!
Alright - I had pizza for dinner, and we got the wrong size.. the LARGER size. No way I can throw it out... but man alive.. I am SUPER struggling with this dieting crap right now. I'm ready for it to get easy again!! This is too hard today, ugh.
Wendy - meee toooo! About the getting on the wagon part.. I did terrible today..
But! I got on the scale! 256, which is only up 1 pound, phew!! I am completely relieved. I have been thinking about exercise lately, gotta think about winter jackets, and I tried on a women's XL in a SUPER cute jacket, but because my hips are so gosh darned wide! They always have been, so maybe exercise will help them get smaller faster than diet alone. I gotta kick this cold in the butt first, so probably Friday at the soonest. Thats my babbling..
I have no excuses for being lazy! Well, except I'm not supposed to bend over, lift anything because of my back, been in bed for 3 days with a migraine...
Wendy - hope that headache lifts soon! I am melting btw... I cannot believe how HOT it is!!! My chest probably won't let me get much smaller in sizes, however hopefully as I shrink my boobs do too!
Courtnie - Sliced tomatoes on melba toast with cream cheese... yummy! I cut up the last of my tomatoes for lunch today. How's it going over there?
I am working late tonight, it's very hot here today, so I am actually okay with this. It's too hot to move. I packed a yummy healthy lunch, so I am back on plan! Woohoo!
I made it thru the day! I ate tons of veggies and fruit, and stayed under my calories by 168! Woohoo! Couple more weeks/months/year, and I'll be at my goal weight!
Sorry I've been MIA, I've been in such a funk the last week or so. I did manage to take care of two things so that less I have on my mind. I feel a little better. My eating has been pretty good except yesterday when I had a marathon reading session fueled by Pepsi. I'm on the hunt for a second job.....again. I hope you are all doing great!
Shari - woohoo! Congrats!! Tomorrow is my WI at the end of my 9 week program thingy. I am also doing measurements - so hopefully those BOTH go well I am going to be getting a second job, not too excited for that. However since we moved I am going into more and more debt, and I got my tax return - 500 bucks!! I need clothes, shoes, hair cut, stuff for the house, buuuuut, can't do it. Gotta put it all on my credit card, might keep a little to get a haircut, because I look ratty. Have you had to work 2 jobs before? Does it suck? I am worried!
