Terrific Tuesday

Posted March 31, 2009 * Comments(8)

Hi everyone. Ok, how many good days can someone have before they start feeling like it is too good to be true? Now, I am not one to look a gift horse in the mouth or push away good fortune, but man, life seems to really be going well lately. Watch me while I knock on wodd ;) Ok, I am back! So the day started out rainy and yucky but I was up and at ‘em on time and ready to go to work. By the time I got 35 minutes away to work the rain was gone and the sun was shining. I had coffee with creamer, a delish salad with berries and grapes and some Smart Pop so far today. Let’s not forget the diet soda…. I have all kinds of ideas for dinner later on! I had a new staff person begin today and lots of work to keep me busy. The rain came back a bit during the day but now it is in the mid sixties and beautiful outside. Why is it that when things are going so well, we feel like the ball is about to drop? I push that thought out of my head often… I am excited to get back to the book two of the Twilight Saga! I am hoping for a loss this week, if nothing else, I at least hope to have the pound off that didn’t show up as off til this past Saturday (so I didn’t count it since it wasn’t off by Friday). If not, another week of maintaining will be better to me than a gain. I am doing well with my cals so I should see something… Ok. I hope you all had a fantastic day and are making the BEST choices!

Beautiful Monday

Hi everyone. This might be the prettiest day in the area in a LONG time. A little over sixty degrees, the sun is shining and there is an awesome breeze. My dogs are sunbathing on the back porch :) I am having a lazy day. I slept in after staying up too late reading Twilight. Then my mom called me and wanted to know if I wanted to go out to eat on her lunch break so I took a shower and started some laundry and fed my wildabeasts. I had some green beans and baked chicken for lunch. Then I went to Aldis to make sure I had plenty of fresh produce for the work week cause I want to make sure I am eating SUPER healthy so I have no excuses to not lose this week. I adjusted my weekly weightloss goal on livestrong lastnight. I had it set to show me the calories I needed to eat daily to lose 3 pounds a week. Well, I am tired of feeling like a failure when I go over 1376 a day so I changed it to lose two pounds a week so that I am able to go up to 1800-something cals a day. I think the mental part of going even a few over most days was getting to me. Plus, once it got down to the 1300s, I have not been losing as qucikly so maybe this will boost me back into more loss… We shall see. Well, I had today off cause I worked the weekend so back to work for me Tues-Friday then I have the weekend off. My uncle is bringing my grandmother to my parents to stay the week then my mom is taknig her back home so I will be spending some time with them over the weekend for sure. I hope everyone is having a great Monday and making excellent choices  :)

Another weekend over?

Hi everyone. I worked this weekend and will have tomorrow off. I am already doing better with my eating this weekend than I did last week so I HOPE to have more than the one pound that popped off yesterday to report by next Friday! I had a lot of fun lastnight with my girlfriends. We went to a Beer and Chicken Fundraiser for a local firehouse. there was dancing and I kareoke’d THREE times LOL. I stayed up way too late for a work night but I am feeling good today regardless. I just started reading the Twilight series too and I AM HOOKED! I am already madly in LOVE with Edward Cullens. I am not even 1/2 way through with the first book but went back in bought the second one just in case I finish it tonight! Also, I ordered some kick ass sandals from Zappos and I think they will be here tomorrow when I am off cause they are already in Saint Louis as of yesterday at UPS! I am going to try and post a pic but not sure if I can from here… Nope, wont let me. I will post one when I get them then… Trying to get lots of wtaer in today. have alittle more work to do then off til Tuesday… Hope you all enjoyed your weekend and are making good choices :)

Things are looking up… Maybe it was not a plateau after all ;)

good morning buddies. I am back to work and taking a little ol break. How are you this fine Saturday morning? It is cold and rainy here and supposedly goign to snow. We will see about that! I am happy to report the scale is moving down — finally—this week. It may not have been down yesterday but it was down to 226 this morning! I have not seen that number in YEARS! Yipppieee! So this is my NEW super motivation to get things back on track this week! Boy how seeing that scale move down can SUPER motivate me :) Ok, better get back to work!

I have hot water! But my dog hurt my cat :(

Hi again everyone. Well, I am sooo HAPPY to report that I FINALLY have HOT water. I am waiting a few more hours to take a shower cause I want it to be WORTH it! I turned the water heater almost all the way to hot so that I DEF have plenty of hot water. So I let the cats up today to get some “me time” cause they are always downstairs cause the dogs (mainly LeRoy) don’t get along so well with the cats. Well, everything was going fine for about an hour. Then, out of nowhere, LeRoy went after my cat, Pretty. He really went after her too and I started screaming and got up and he finally left her alone but she was (as was I) TERRIFIED. So she ran and hid in a corner and was making her I am VERY mad noises and holding up one of her paws. I laid down with her and gave her TONS of treats. It took her about 5-10 minutes to let me pet her and for her to eat the treats but she finally did so that is a good sign. I wanted to see her walk so I went downstairs, knowing she would follow me and she did. She is limping and holding up her one front paw so I hope it is nothing too serious and that she will be ok. I stayed down there, started some laundry and cleaned out the litter boxes so I could keep my eye on her. She is hiding out and I am worried about her. I am leaving the dogs locked up the rest of the day and evening so I can leave the door open so she can come up if she wants to and I will be checking on her often. These damn animals! If it is not one thing, it is another ;( I really just hope she is okay. The vet told me before that LeRoy, despite his size, should not be ablel to truly hurt the cats by stepping or pouncing on them due to their being so malleable, so long as he doesn’t bite them and puncture them with his GIGANTIC teeth. So, I am thinking positively and will keep them separated as I normally do… Staying on track with food today. I am READY to lose this next week so LOOK out! I hope you are all enjoying your Friday and making good choices :)

My first maintain of 2009

Posted March 27, 2009 * Comments(7)

Hi everyone. I weighed in today. I am still at 227 pounds. I did not lose this week. At all ;) I know that each day my cals were higher than they normally are—not terribly high but not lose 2-3 pounds in a week style. Plus, I drank a few nights this past week and that slows your losing even if you account for the calories. So, I will do my best with calories this week and I will SHOW a loss this next week. I am NOT going to let this get me down. I know what I need to do to lose again this coming week and I will do it. Ok, enough about that… I am currently waiting for the water heater repairman/men to get here. I HOPE this is the last time they need to come out and that it works after this. Back to work for me tomorrow. I have had a nice and relaxing week off (sans the hot water) and I am ready to get back to work and my normal routine. I hope everyone has a Happy Friday :)

Weigh in tomorrow

Hi everyone. I did just what I planned on doing today: sleeping in all day almost! I seriously didnt get up for real real real til about 2:30 pm. Then I went to St. Louis Bread Co. and had a turkey sandwhich and went to Wal Mart and Wal Greens. I need to get back to work so I QUIT spending money I dont have! I had a message from the repairman saying they would be here around ten tomorrow morning to repair my water heater. Whirlpool overnighted the part yesterday and they have apparently agreed to oblige my lovely email request and pay for the complete repairs. So YAY! I was not looking forward to paying the guy for the service… I am going to watch tv and read tonight. I am going to savor my last night/day off before I go back to work Saturday. I weigh in tomorrow. The scale was finally back down to where it was last Friday this morning when I weighed. So, perhaps there will be some sort of loss this week afterall… If not and there is a maintain, I am totally okay with that. I have not tried as hard as I wanted to this week while on vacation. I have not overdone it too much but I have not done as well as I do when I work all day. I will be happy with anything besides a gain ;) Well, I really have nothing exciting going on. I hope everyone is having a good week and that you have a happy Friday tomorrow! I can’t belive it is here already…

And, let’s NOT forget LeRoy, the one who survived the stuffed animal colon cleansing in December ;)
