thank you Cody

Thanks to my brother I feel 100%(almost-99) better.

I needed last night so bad. We stayed at a hotel in the next city. We went for dinner then to a club. Danced a bit. Drank alot. I had fun. My friend was in town just for the night. She brought her boyfriend and his friend. Could have been potential there but it's an 11 hour drive to where they live. I have a new friend anyway. I got looks, winks and smile from men at the club. I don't like meeting men when I'm drinking but it still made me feel good.

No idea where my calories ended up but I don't care. I really needed the break

yay weekend
Sep 06 2008 09:58

I woke up to a thunderstorm again.   The rain makes me nostalgic for better days.........

I got home from the game around 9 last night.  Ate a sensible dinner, did not drink too much and went to bed by 11 like a good girl.

I got up around 8, rode the bike 10 miles/35 minutes/300 cals burned and lifted Bowflex until I thought my arms were going to fall off.  I am trying to up my weights slowly, but I can;t seem to get many reps when I make the resistance higher, so I'm working on it. 

Big plans for today include getting the house ready for the party J decided to have Thursday, laundry, grocery shopping to feed people, and try to have a good time tonight.    J's bday is tomorrow.......    I did not make any real effort to buy him anything thoughtful afte the anniversary debacle, so he is getting a check.  He already bough himself 3 wide screen new computer monitors, so my $$ will go towards that, I guess...  At least he likes it.     sigh. 

If you missed my late afternoon journal yesterday, go rent the movie ONCE ASAP.  it is so good.  ( :

GOALS FOR TODAY
work out  ((((DONE)))))
only 2 cups of coffee and then LOTS OF WATER
eat smart today
fix healthy foods for the party, so that is ok for me too
don;t drink too much tonight
have a good time

you have to see this movie!
Sep 05 2008 18:09

OK, strong recommendation from my old friend M and my having 3 hours to kill before the football game resulted in my watching Once on my computer tonight. 

It is so good, bittersweet, and poignant to the max-- but AWESOME.    The music/song/playing is incredible.   And the actors actually wrote and really performed their own songs in the movie.  

It's been a long time since I saw something that moved me like this did. 

Just fyi.   ( :      thank me later.

successes and failures of Thursday evening, and how to avoid them next time......sigh
Sep 05 2008 06:16

MAN --   I agreed to drop J off at the alley so he could hang with his team and watch while I birthday and grocery shopped.   Granted, I did look for a long time for gifts for J and my little brother who is in Iraq, but I had just gotten to WalMart when he called me and wanted to go home.   WTH?   I didn;t even get groceries --- just look at books and video games and other presents for idea.   /  :   sigh.....

SO --  I suck.  I budgeted and looked forward to Wendy's chili and nuggets for a late supper.  Later than I thought, but only 550 cals.  Not bad, but I was so starving by the time we got home, I also had 2 pieces of leftover pizza, a leftover baked potato (plain), some 90 calorie Pringle sticks.....   hhmm, I think that;s it.   I was at exactly 100% of my sodium for the day before all that, so I am happy to be able to still say the scale said 162 this morning.   (woo)   Tonight is the first home football game.  I am staying for at least the first half = sad J and I'm over that part, but I am trying to be smart and take a semi-sizable healthy dinner for my down time from 4-7 before the game, so I can avoid eating everything when I get home...... 

It was finally not raining this morning, so Sugar dog and I jogged.   I was feeling good, so I tacked on the extra maybe mile (scenic lake route --  err, not so scenic, I guess, at 5AM, but hey).   It was 54 degrees and so awesome.   I can't wait for the cold weather.....remind me of that when I am bitching soon enough.  ANd I MUST get some anti-fog stuff for my glasses.....I was seriously impaired this morning.   ( : 

GOALS FOR TODAY:
lots of water  ((I did great on this yesterday))
enough of the right foods so I am not an animal when I get home late
Jog the dog   (((DONE)))
Pep my team up for a win!!!
have a good night/weekend with J ------   I am so ready for that to be different

frustration! EDIT WEEK 25
Sep 05 2008 06:23

I am a happy person but sometimes life just gets sooo frustrating! I would love to crawl into bed for 3 days but I can't. My weight "loss" is not cooperating. My kids have had major attitude lately. Work is ... well ... whatever. Housework is never ending. Being single for a while now I'm feeling the need for ... hmm ... companyEmbarassed. I don't mind being single. I need to focus on myself and my kids but a bf(or something like it) wouldn't be so bad. How does a single person meet new people? I've never really been single. I don't get out much, 3 kids and all. 7 eleven is NOT the best place to shop for men.(That's where I met the last one and what a winner he was)

Sorry ... I'm just frustrated. I do feel a bit better after writing it down.

I love my Brother. He has his kids every weekend. He has 3 like me(and my sister). He is going to keep my kids over night tomorrow night. I love my kids more than anything but I need this break sooo bad.

K I'm done

EDIT

Not feeling a hole bunch better but I'll live.

155.5 Today up .5 for last friday.

I'm thinking about getting rid of my scale for a while. Hmm

I can't believe I get a night out tonight!

PANTS!!!
Sep 04 2008 17:29

GOD,  I am not complaining, but seriously every pair of pants I own are too big to the point that on almost all of them I can pull them down without unbuttoning/fastening them at all.  

Is that funny or sad???? 

I spent $200++ in June on new clothes --- remind me next summer to WAIT!!!!

I need to have mom dart all of them, I guess......  and buy a few new pairs!!!   : D

dreams and what might have been
Sep 04 2008 06:17

I swear......  I am losing my mind.    It's been a weird few weeks.....    anywho.....

I was so under cals after disappointing "homemade" parent dinner....  and so HUNGRY, I am sad with myself.   I came home and the cold pizza called my name.  I had two pieces and 1/2 a cheese stick and a 90 cal pringle stick pack.   I can;t just let my tummy grumble, of course......   and J stopped and got booze for himself ---and despite my saying no thank you, got me some too.....   I am pretty sure I was still under my cal range, but MAN.  what is my deal?  weigh in is Friday.       ) : 

Could not sleep again to save my life.   Weird dreams and then too much to think about alternately made for an interesting, wakeful night.  STILL  I got up at 5 to pouring rain (so no jog for me) and rode the bike 29 minutes/7.5 miles/211 cals burned.  My arms are still sore, maybe more so, from Bowflexing yesterday...... 

Even though J can;t bowl for at least 2 more weeks, he is insisting we go and watch tonight.   SIGH>   I swear soon I am going to flip out and say out loud all the things I think ---  No more weekly dinners.  Bowling is not fun anymore.  ETC.   I WON'T, of course, because I know I cannot say it in a way that he could hear it, BUT, well, yeah. 

I did well drinking my 100 0z water through the day yesterday vs. mostly at the end of the day, did not eat all my food ---  ran out of time due to an afternoon meeting.   SO will do better, self!

GOALS FOR TODAY:
water and food ----  check
ride the bike  ((((((DONE)))))))
go do the shopping and take my time, so I do not have to sit at bowling all night
GET OVER MYSELF

hhmmmmm
Sep 03 2008 06:13

SO, J talked me into Pizza Hut last night.  I was good --  had a big salad first, some pizza.  Stopped when I was done  (rare).  As I am the girl who not so long ago who could eat a whole, large pepperoni pizza in an evening -- I feel ok.    ( :  

I got a lot of work done last night.  I cannot wait for the conference I am attending in the middle of September.    Pretty boring, all things considered, but J postponed parent dinner until tonight (BOO) and we instead watched more of Season 4 Entourage.   Always good for a laugh.  It was good to just relax.  FUnny since we just had a 3 day weekend, but my day was pretty hectic.   Hoping to get a lot done for the next few days at work today since I am having a reading/homework/game day since many kids are takng the Army ASVAB today....  And next week on Wednesday, they are taking like half the school (FFA kids) to the state fair.  Yay for catch up days, I guess

Got up at 5, groaned, rode the bike 7.5 miles/28.5 minutes/225 cals.   Bowflexed arms too.   Triceps are alreayd hating on me.  lol    ( :   I did well yesterday with water and eating my snack/lunch.   Again today, please, self. 

GOALS FOR TODAY:
keep up with the water and food ---   here's to being able to log a 150something for the weigh-in on Friday/Saturday ---and have it stick and decreasw again the next week!
Bike  and Bowflex ((((((DONE)))))
Eat smart, so parent dinner isn;t terrible
If not raining and/or too hot, walk the dog quickly after work
WAKE UP AND CHEER UP  ---  no one can make life better except, oh, yeah, duh.  ME

Things I have to do today

  • Eat smart not stupid.

short week -- ( :
Sep 02 2008 06:00

Another 4 day week.   ( :      I had a nice if boring holiday weekend.    Had friends over last night to watch Season 4 of Entourage and made HUGE salads with tons of cut up veggies/ham/chicken along with regular and sweet potatoes (baked).   YUM   that was the first time i ever made them at home. 

Slept for shit, woke up at 1something and I think was finally asleep in time to roll over again at 4 and 5 this morning.  BUT I got up, jogged 30 minutes, packed my lunch/snacks, showered, got the trash prepped for easy takings out when I get home after work before parent dinner, and am chugging my protein shake while I type this. 

I drank too much this weekend --  totally, but I saw 159.0 this morning.   Of course, I also saw 166 and 164something, but I am sticking with the one I like.   ( : 

GOALS FOR TODAY: 
lots of water
do not go buy booze~~~~~~~   wait until the weekend.  I can do it. 
bowflex arms after work if time and energy allow....
eat healthy packed lunch/snacks   ---be smart so parent dinner is not calorific
jog the dog  (((((DONE)))))
cheer  up .
