Well it won't technically be Tuesday for another 14 minutes but close enough. Sounds like there were some not so happy moments this weekend. Hope the rest of the week is better for everyone.
Kim, Sorry to hear about bf's troubles. Glad he is ok. Did you know that symptoms of whiplash can take up to twoyears to present? Keep your eyes open & at first neck soreness get him to a massage therapist because the early you treat it the faster it heals. (Sorry for being the massage preacher again!)
Ali, sorry you had to make a tough call this weekend. One time one of our dogs ran away from my Dad's acreage & he was missing for five days. On the fifth day my Dad saw him slowly making his way across a field so he went & picked him up. Turned out the poor thing had been hit by a Semi on the highway (four miles from the acreage) & he broke his back & still tried to make it home. His back legs were paralyzed & he had to drag them behind him. It was soooo horrible. My Dad took him out to the pasture & put him down because the pain in his (the dog) eyes was unbearable. It was so hard but it had to be done. My Dad said that was the hardest thing he ever had to do. Anyway that's my sad dog story. Its amazing how a pet becomes another family member.
Belle, good to hear from you! That is so great that you finally got a job you want! Great to hear the family stuff is working out too. Sounds like your life is on track
Tonya, JenK, Winter, sounds like you all had a great shopping spree! I can't wait until we can make fun purchases that aren't wedding related! Its crazy how weddings seem to eat up any extra money!
Kier, hope your exams go well. Hard to believe you'e done another semester already! Hope your anxiety dreams turn into enjoyable yummy dreams (not food ones either!) What's happening with your sometime boy? Did you meet his Mom or what?
Jess, don't be so hard on your self girl! You made it to the gym 3 times onthe weekend? That's something! At least you didn't totally gorge & then not exercise at all!
Speaking of gorging & not exercising descibes my weekend pretty well
I gave my self a stern talking to (via my journal) found some motivation & decided to go strictly OP today (Monday). I started out with great intentions. I journaled my food for breakie & lunch & ate reasonably well. Then the crap started streaming. I was so busy at work that by home time at 4 I was ravenous. I swung by home scarfed down ate lowfat granola bar & then went to pick up DF from work. We went & did some errands & then we were both starving. By that time I had my usual shakes & headache, dizziness etc. so we decided to just get food somewhere. We ended up going to our absolute favorite restaurant. I really debated going for a healthier entre but in the end because I was starving I went with my favorite Tortellini in Four Cheese Sauce, a huge serving too. Plus you get free bread so I ate a big square of that dipped in Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar plus on top of that we had an appetizer that had this cheesy dip for flat bread. Instead of being wise & making healthy choices, eating the right serving sizes, I gorged myself
I was so stuffed after supper. I felt so guilty too. Then DF had to go to Wal-Mart for some stuff & he brought me home a big bag of Reeces Pieces! And guess what I ate at least half of them!! Argh! I feel like crap now. I also had plans to go to Aquafitness tonight but felt so bloated & crappy that I skipped it. Argh! Does anyone else ever feel like they sabatoge themselves?? I have been doing that a lot lately. It doesn't make any sense. I keep trading in my long term goals for short lived joy brought from food. I feel like sush a glutton right now. I want to learn how not to sabatoge myself. I am trapped in the endless cycle of being so committed to it & then totally off track. When I'm off track I fell crappy, guilty & am very down on myself. Not healthy mentally or physically. Argh! Thanks goodness tomorrow is a new day. I'll take another stab at it. I am heading to the gym first thing when I get up. Plus I have my meals all planned for tomorrow. That should help. Anyway sorry for going on & on ranting like this. I'm just feeling a little frustrated.
Other news in our life: we got approved for this awesome 3 bedroom duplex! We will probably be moving in there on the 27th or so. Very exciting! It is so big compared to our apartment now. Plus it has a yard & lots of features including air conditioning right in the master bedroom! Sweet! I packed a whole bunch on the weekend but there is still tons to do.
Oh yeah did any of you other Canadian chicks watch the Junos Sunday night?? I swear they were the best ones we've ever had! Man is there ever alot of great Canadian music out there! I thought BNL did a super job of hosting! They are so funny! That acapella song Great Big Sea did at the beginning has been stuck in my head ever since (We'll rant & we'll rover like true Newfoundlers, We'll rant & we'll rover on deck & below...) Anyway I thought the whole shwo was great!
Anyway this post is now officially a novella so I'll leave it at that! Talk to you all later
