I can't tell you how glad I am that's it's Friday - only thing that sucks is that it's supposed to rain all weekend. Oh well, I've been out for BOTH my breaks today to enjoy what sun there is before this storm moves in. Challenge is going well, no cravings for anything junky or sweet today - so that's good. However, I was thinking. This Challenge hasn't been that hard for me, barely even what I'd call a challenge since I don't have much of a sweet tooth to begin with.. soooooooooo.. I was thinking of challenging myself to no bread. ~gasp~ As you can see from my lists, not a day goes by without me enjoying a slice of bread. I know that bread is bad for you, it's prolly the reason I love it so damn much! So, after this Challenge is complete I might kick it up a level and try 7 days without bread. Anyone else feel like joining me?? On Sunday I'll post if for sure I've decided to do this or not.. I'm really going to have to put effort into it, since I'll have NO idea what to have for lunches at work.
Anyway, I'm going to get going now, I'd like to read some of your Blogs before my lunch is over. I'll update later tonight if I find the time, not sure what I all have planned for the evening. Talk to you all later.
5:50pm Update:
So, I forgot my WW Calculator at work! ~gasp~ I was half way home and realized, in my rush to get the HELL out of there, I left it behind. Good thing I keep track during the day of what I eat and where my pnts are on here - otherwise I'd be forced to remember everything.. and with my poor memory, that wouldn't be a good plan.
Today was busy at work, I got a ton done though - it was rushed. I hate that. Or maybe I love it because I seem to do so well under pressure.. whatever. ~laughs~ Alright, I need to get going.. I have a pita pizza callin my name! Oh, and it's not cheating on the challenge, cause it's all homemade and low fat stuff. Low fat cheese, tons of garlic, on a whole wheat pita. I don't count this as the same thing as a pizza from like.. Pizza Pizza - that's fast food stuff. Ok, seriously, Gotta go!
Out!

Damn Apple Crumble, damn you to Hell!
Day #4 of Challenge.
I'm tortured! I think I was dreaming abou this last night.. god.. I couldn't find a picture of the exact one from Kelseys.. but this one looked just as good. Right now I'm munching down my Crustini as quickly as I can since Laura is waiting for me to run to Canadian Tire and pick up a gift cert for my dad - and also stop off and get gas for her Jeep - I'm making her wait! I'm so mean! ~munchmunchmunch~ So, I'm feeling better about the Challenge today, a little more confident, a little less cravings.. cept for of course that stupid Apple Crumble. I'm supposed to be going to see Lori's wedding dress tonight, she's having a fitting once she buys the shoes - which she should be doing right now. Anyway, I have to get going. I'll try to update later.
7:30pm Update:
Just got home from the bridal shop with Lori, her dress was in so she got to actually try on her dress and see how it fit, got the hem done and such. She looked sooooo pretty, fucking gorgeous in it. I'd show you, but oh yeah, that's right, I fucking FORGOT to bring my digital with me. Seriously, can eating lower amounts of pnts actually decrease the use of your freakin brain? Seriously. Anyway, I have a few pnts left for the day and NO idea what to eat. I'm definately in a snacking mood - but since all of those things are out, I'm unsure of what to eat. I wish I would have had time to make a large, really yum meal up tonight, but I didn't. So, unless I can think of something really fantastic to eat tonight I'm just going to skip out on using the rest of my pnts. We'll see. Anyway, I have an RP to attend tonight, and Dan said he'd call when he got to wherever he was headed today, so you all have a great night and I'll blog ya tomorrow!
Out!

Challenge Day#3.. Aka: Wednesday.
Too early.... I'm so freakin sleepy this morning. Prolly something to do with staying up until 2am last night talking to Daniel on the phone. Curse that boy. ~Smirks~ I guess it was my fault for the whole beeping thing and 48 hour banish - but oh well, this morning I feel like blaming him. Heh. So, I was telling someone about that apple crumble that Lori had at Kelseys (I think it was Matt) and realized just how badly I want it now! Seriously, I wouldn't even know where to begin on counting pnts for it. It was apple crumble, with icecream and literally drowning in a topping of honey/butter sauce?!? Cakes I can skip with ease, even candy, but freakin apple crumble to die for? ~Whimpers~ Now I'm going to have to avoid that place.
Alright, I don't really have time to be sitting here writing on this Blog this morning. I need to get up and ready for work. My Mom is coming to meet me for lunch at work, and my sister needs a ride into work this morning. So, I gots to go. Here's hoping I wake up some!
6:25pm Update:
So, I'm home. It was a rough day, as every day seems to be lately - and for me for the first time in my life - counting pnts and trying to loose weight seems to be the easiest of all the tasks. (I honestly never would have guessed, but it just seems to not be as hard or... irritating as everything else.) I will admit, however, that today is the first day during the challenge that I've had to actually catch myself before reaching for a snack. I have a small 1pnt chocolate bar in my desk, and almost had it open without even thinking about the challenge, then I got home and was craving the homemade cookies I had planned on making during the weekend - but put off doing once I decided to do this challenge. And finally, that apple crumble has popped up in my mind several times today. So, I admit it, today the no junk for 7 days has actually effected my daily routine. ~winks~ Anyway, I hope all of you are doing well with the Challenge, and that you're feelin good and such. It was a perfect day weather wise outside.. so who can complain?
PLUS, the car I fell in love with last year is back out on the dudes lawn - which means I get to drool and stare at it as I drive by. It's an older Corvette I think, or something, redish/orange - I'm not a car person (duh?) but this car just seems to catch my eye.. made me smile on the trip home is all I'm sayin.
Out!

Day#2 of Challenge.
Quick post, cause I have like, five minutes before I have to run out the door. Finally got a pretty good sleep last night, didn't wake up at like 5am with the feeling of panic, so that was a plus. Hopefully I'll be meeting with my Mortgage dude and get some stuff settled. Have a great day everyone, I'll update if I have time today.
10:17am Update:
So, the entire drive into work the radio station I listen to was talking about chips. Chips, and all the different flavours out there that they just LOVE to eat. I was like, are ya kiddin me?! Plus, they didn't even mention Ruffles plain OR Honey Mustard Kettle Chips - two of my very favorties. Now I have a craving, lovely.
12:03pm Update:
Oh oh! Big news for me! I won on the 'Roll up the rim' from Tims!! I get to have a free Tea! How freakin cool is that?! That means, of course, that #71 on my 101 Things to do in 1001 Days is completed! Yay! One step closer to finishing it. I was beginning to get worried there - I drink almost one tea a freakin day and couldn't seem to win.. now I have, it's exciting - and my life is sad. ~laughs~
Anyway, not much else is new here. I'm on lunch, and not feeling great. Not sure why - maybe my stomach just doesn't like me today, or maybe I need to drink more. Tomorrow my dad goes in for surgery on his ear, should be pretty routine, he might be off work for a few days - I guess we'll see. It's so nice and sunny out I think I'm going to head out for a quick walk, earn another activity pnt for myself. I'm supposed to be going out for dinner tonight with Lori, we're headed to Kelseys so I think I might just have myself a soup and that's it. Last time I went there and had the chicken burger I felt really sick afterwards, even into the next day, so I'll be avoiding that this time around. I think the lack of grease in my diet has made it hard to go back to eating a lot of grease. (Did I forget to mention I also had a few onion rings? heh.)
7:05pm Update:
So.... as you can see, dinner went a bit over pnts, but it was damn good! I had the Balsamic Chicken at Kelseys and counted it for 13pnts - I think that's fair? I didn't eat all the chicken, I have some for tomorrow so... ~shrugs~ I don't know. Hey! I could have shared the icecream with apple crumble (my fav!!) with Lori and I didn't.. so there! Anyway, I'm full, and need to call Dan quick - so I'll talk to you all tomorrow. Hope everyone had a good day.

New Character Piccy:
I've finished a new picture of my RP Character: Luca.Her site can be located here: http://www.digitalgoobie.com/lucawerewolf.htm
Sunday, worried.
I can't sleep, I woke up at least 4 times during the night last night, thinking about this whole money problem of mine - and, if I was coming up with solutions, I wouldn't mind so much. But, I'm not. I'm just waking up, staring at the clock and rolling back over as I tell myself to stop thinking about it all and just sleep. Again this morning, with no reason to get up early, I was awake at 7am. 7am on a freakin Sunday. Oh well, I've started the slow cooker with some Beef thing I've been meaning to try - it's not WW Friendly, so... I'm going to have to be careful how much I eat of it. I'll be calculating the points for it later, I'm hoping it's good enough to have with some veggies and that's it. Although, I have a feeling it would taste fantastic on a bun.
So, I went over on my points a bit last night. I was just so hungry for some reason, and seconds before I grabbed some more snack food (I was already munching on the Crunchers and the chips, chocolate and other crap in the house was starting to look like an easy fix) I thought.. just freakin make yourself something filling to eat before you eat everything you can get your hands on. So, I made a sandwich. Not sure how many pnts the meat actually was, but it was deli meat and I thought 2 pnts a shot was fair. Ah well, whatever. There are still Crunchers left, so I only ate like 4 out of the 5pnts, so if the meat was more - it can take a pnt from there. Point of the matter is, the sandwich worked and I felt much better - thank god.
Well, I guess I should start the day. Need to motivate myself to get some tasks done around the house - a few things were accomplished yesterday, but it's a never ending list. Plus, it looks sunny out this morning, instead of that crap rain. So, I think I'll go for a walk and earn myself a few activity pnts incase this Beef thing is a way bad idea. ~Winks~
Afternoon Update:
So, the Buttered/Garlic Beef I made was a hit - I can't believe how much juice came out of it! (It's my first time using a slowcooker - so maybe it's always like that?) It was pretty good. I had a receipt to follow, but it asked for 1/2 cup of butter, so I cut that back and used a bit of chicken broth instead. I also added onions and garlic, which wasn't in the original ingredients. It was really very good. I kinda guessed on the pnts though. Looked in the book and saw that a slice of beef was like.. 5pnts. And then since it had butter in it I added another 3pnts just for that. Though, I avoided getting the liquid cause I figured that was were most of the cals would be. I think that's fair enough? Whatever, if it's not I still have those 29 flex pnts sitting there. I'd really like to try a roast with baby potatoes, green beens, red onions and baby carrots in it. I can only imagine how yummy that would be.
And, on a crappier note, I picked my car up today. Total came to $834. Ouch. Daniel, I don't want to hear about how you could have fixed it for so much cheaper.. blahblah blah. Until you actually drive here, take my car apart and start fixing things - no complaining! OR if I'm spending your $$ on it, then you can complain - it's my money, my piece of crap car - so be nice to me! ~Sticks her tongue out~ So, now I have to pay that off next month, and I have to figure out what I'm going to do.... OH the pressure.

Saturday, the planning continues.
So, Saturday morning started with me waking myself up in a panic at 7am. Thinking about this Leasing/Buying idea and how the Mortgage may not allow for something like that. Needless to say, I'm kinda at a stand still with moving forward. I've emailed my Mortgage guy, hoping he can give me an idea of what I can and can't do before I actually get out there looking at cars. I've also given the go-ahead to CanadianTire to fix my car - $790. Since I need something to drive for the next however long while I try to get this shit worked out.
My WW Calculator is broken. No idea why, was in the middle of using the damn thing and the stupid numbers went all nuts. I tried to reset the freakin thing - but it's just not working. So... I'm not sure what to do with that - suppose I'll just return it, get my $$ back. Pisses me off. Ya know? It's like what, a week old??? Thank god I'm keeping track on here also, so I actually can account for all my pnts and such. Anyway, I'll write later if I have the time, I'm going to head off and get some cleaning done. Maybe take a look at some vehicles online and try to figure it out.
Update:
I've completed a few things on my 101 things to do in 1001 days list: http://digitalgoobie.blogspot.com/2006/03/101-things-in-1001-days-this-is-bad.html
#70 - The main picture on my site is updated! Finally! You can check it out here:
http://www.digitalgoobie.com
#72 - I'm working on this, it's rolled, just need to take it to the bank. Give me time!
#93 - Create a Blog Section on my site - totally done! Again, you can check it out here:
http://www.digitalgoobie.com/blogs.htm
And that's it so far.. I'm still working on other stuff, plus the whole car thing. I emailed my guy from the bank, to see what's possible and what's not with my condo stuff coming up, so cross your fingers that he gives me at least some decent news - otherwise, I'm going to have to replan everything. Anyway, I need to get back to cleaning, hope you are all having a good day.

And that's it so far.. I'm still working on other stuff, plus the whole car thing. I emailed my guy from the bank, to see what's possible and what's not with my condo stuff coming up, so cross your fingers that he gives me at least some decent news - otherwise, I'm going to have to replan everything. Anyway, I need to get back to cleaning, hope you are all having a good day.

At long last, Friday.
So, my car is going to cost at least $840 to fix. Not cheap.
I'm irritated, at the place I take my car, myself and the car. It's giving me a horrible headache and all I've done all day is freak out with what I'm supposed to do. Buy new, Lease, where the Hell will I get the $$ with the upcoming condo and everything. Needless to say, I'm extremely upset and lost at the moment....
SO, I walked over to Tims, and bought myself an Xtra Large Tea.
Went for a walk to the end of the street and back, running it through in my mind, and I think I might be able to swing something. I have another 5months to save my money for the condo (for the most part) so if I up my monthly saving from $800 to $1000, that will get me saving some Xtra money. (Not sure what I'm going to cut back on yet, but I'll have to make it work). In the meantime, I'm going to use my savings, and even maybe my line of credit and either buy a new car, or Lease one. Not sure which.. I have no idea what Leasing is like... Once I'm in my condo, although it will be tight, I should be able to somehow swing monthly car payments for $200. Please god, let it be lower. Hopefully I can sell the car for at least $1000, to break even with the fix I have to do on it now.
If I could go without having a car for the next five months I would, and I'd stash a ton more money away and then worry about buying/leasing come move time - But I can't. My job is 40minutes away from where I live now - I need a car, there's no bus I can catch... ~sighs~ Ok, I'm feeling a bit better now that I have a plan, even if it needs some more work and detailing.
Thanks for the comments everyone, and the good wishes. Means a lot.
Hope you are all having a good Friday, it's almost the weekend, yay.
Update:
So, I'm home, the long day at work is over and I'm feeling a little more positive about my car situation after the initial freakout. I mean, I still have to figure everything out, but I think I can manage - or rather, I'll somehow have to manage. Just got back from a quick walk, needed to just get out I think, get some air, dragged my parents along with me. It's such a nice night out - why not? Besides, makes me feel less guilty about sitting around watching TV tonight, heh.
I'm out of points for the day, so the second I get hungry tonight I'm headed to bed. Anyway, I'm too tired and spent to write anything more, have a nice evening all. And happy weekend. ~winks~

WW MultiGrain Bread (2) - 2pnts.

Thank the Heavens! It's Thursday.
So, my mood has picked up, finally. Whew, I was getting a bit worried there. But, everything seems to be calming down a bit for me - that angry mood I was in seems to be lifting and I can only hope that it continues through to the weekend. I'm actually headed out for a walk soon, so that I can get myself a Tea from Tims and get a bit of fresh air before lunch is over. Although, it's kinda grey outside - doesn't matter though, because it's above zero and that's good news. Ok, I'll write more later.
Later, 9ish:
Bleh. Downhill, nose dive kinda afternoon. Work went downhill quickly after a few things happened, and then my car brakes started to grind on the way home - so say goodbye to another chunk of my money to a piece of crap vehicle. Thank God I can borrow my moms car for tomorrow - I really need to take a look at my fiances and figure out how to make the condo, my life, a new car and everything else work - God, I so wish I was 10yrs old. Heh. Alright, I'm going to get going - Hey, at least I stayed within my pnts again today, drank all my water too.
Food List:
CornFlakes - 2pnts.
Milk - 1pnt.
Banana - 2pnts.

WW - New Complete Cookbook
So, since I've been talking about this thing so much I thought I'd just quickly throw on a picture of it. It's the newest book (I think) Actually, I picked it up at Costco for something like $22. So far, so good. I've managed to try out I think 4 recipes so far and the only one I didn't really like was the 'Stovetop Mac&Cheese'. Coulda just been because I don't really like Mac&Cheese on its own - but I found this flavourless, messy and a bitch to clean up.
The Parmesan-Turkey Meatloaf was excellent, I loved it. Also made the Corn and Bacon Chowder which was something I also enjoyed, though it took a lot longer then I thought it would - lots of small steps it felt like, and a lot of dishes - but worth it in the end. And like I was saying, I tried the Southern Over 'Fried' Chicken tonight and it was really good too. So, I've decided to share it with you all:
Southern Oven "Fried" Chicken
Makes 4 Servings.
1/2 cup fat-free buttermilk
1/2 cup cornflakes, crushed
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 Tsp salt
1/4 Tsp pepper
2 pounds chicken parts, skinned (I just used chicken breasts)
4 Tsp canola oil (I think you can use any oil, though I had canola)
1) Preheat over to 400F; Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
2) Pour buttermilk into a large shallow bowl.
3) On sheet of wax paper, combine cornflakes, flour, salt & pepper.
4) Dip chicken in buttermilk, then dredge in cornflake mixture - coat completely.
5) Lay chicken on baking sheet; drizzle with oil.
6) Bake 30 minutes.
7) Turn chicken, bake until cooked through. (15-20minutes)
5pnts for about two pieces it says - Just divide what you've cooked into 4 equal servings, and each equals 5pnts. That's just easier. ~winks~ I really liked this meal, and am taking leftovers to work for lunch tomorrow to have with a pita and some salad. Should be good. Only thing I can say is if your breasts are thin - which is how I like mine - don't over cook them or they get too dry. Also, don't forget the oil! I think it plays a fairly large roll in the final flavor of the meal.
I'd say all the meals I've made so far have been pretty easy. I mean, I don't mind cooking, and I know how to cook - but I find the book gives you all the details, so there's really nothing to it. The other thing I like about the book is that it gives you a index to read from, with markers for meals under 5pnts per serving, spicy dishes and also a little symbol for dishes that take under 20 minutes to prepare. I think there's something about the Core Plan in there also. Plus, throughout the book it talks about food, hints on cooking, what types of things work, etc, etc. For $22 - it provides me with ideas for low point meals that I might not have thought of on my own - and that's worth it for me. Anything to keep me from falling into my habit of eating the same thing day in and day out.
Ok, I'm off to bed now. Have a lovely sleep everyone. Mood is better - btw. ~winks~

Day#3 of the long week - 'Hump Day'
You know, on my drive in this morning, is very much felt like a "hump day" to me. It felt like I was half way done, I might have even given a small sigh in knowing that it was almost over, that I had survived the first two days and after today, there would only be two more to go.
Then I got to work, and the entire small positive outlook I was having about today was crushed in a flurry of small and yet increasingly irritating events. I wont go into specifics here with you, because frankly, the first time around it's a waste of my day - I can only image how much worse reviewing it could be. But, it's only 12:15pm and I'm ready for my day to just end and for me to be in the comfort of my own home.
Anyway, I'll post more later, I'm going to go and eat my Crustini for lunch and then I'm going to sip my tea until I have to continue working - hope you are all having a good day, or at the very least, a better one than I am.
Ok, so now I'm home and work is over and I feel MUCH better. Actually, the second I got into my car to drive home I started to feel better - funny thing, isn't it? ~winks~ So, tonight my mother and I decided to try another new reciepe from the WW Cookbook - The Southern Fried Chicken I think it was called. It was 5pnts per serving, and with some little oven roasted potatoes made an excellent meal tonight! I'll definately be making that one again. I think tomorrow for dinner we're doing the Turkey Meatloaf, which I've made before, and really liked also. So, nothing special planned for tonight, just relaxing and such I believe.
Alright everyone, I'm going to get going. I want to go sit down and relax since I haven't had a second to myself yet and it's nearly 7:30pm. Was thinking of trying that ab workout that someone mentioned on their Blog - but I'm feelin kinda lazy at the moment, so we'll see. Have an excellent night - and w00t w00t! Tomorrow is Thursday! Jean and running shoe day!
Food List:
Cheerios - 3pnts.
Egg Salad - 3pnts.
2 Slices WW Bread - 1pnt.
Tea - 1pnt.
Crustini - 7pnts.
Chicken - 5pnts.

Eating out, tsktsk.
So, I've been eating out like mad today, it's a bad bad day for it too.
BUT, I'm doing my very best to stay within my freakin point range - I will force myself if I have to! Then I can make it seem better in my mind, if I can stay within my range as long as I do not go over my allowed points for the day - it's not as bad. Ya know? So, for today:
Egg McMuffin - 6pnts.
Tea - 1pnt.
Cheerios - 3pnts.
Crispy Chicken Burger - 8pnts.
Swiss Chicken - 5pnts.
Colslaw - 1pnt.
Bun - 3pnts.
Swiss Chalet Sauce - 1pnt.
3 Activity Pnts unused.
33 Flex Pnts left.
Daily Goal: 28/28pnts.
Yeah, so I didn't do too bad for today. I've had my 6 glasses of water too, so that's all working out. Though, I never really have a hard time drinking the water - I always have tons during the day since I find I'm thirsty a fair bit - or maybe it's habit, who knows. Tea and water are really the only two things I drink. Occasionally I have a glass of milk, or OJ or something.. yeah, anyway.
So, nothing new. Plan on doing the final half of the RP tonight with Suz. NCIS is on TV - love that show. And then I will eventually go to sleep only to get up for another thrilling day at work. ~Rolls eyes~ I'm just not in the mood to work this week, you know? And today, I sent almost double the work back because it was wrong or missing info than I actually got completed - so I accomplished very little. Like I said, it's going to be a long week for me. Here's hoping once Thursday hits it will all be rolling a little quicker. Maybe I'll plan something to do for the next few nights so I actually have to push myself. Tonight was spent out with Lori, maybe tomorrow I should run to Halmark and grab a Bday card for my Dad, maybe pick up a gift cert or something.. dunno, we'll see. I need something to motivate me.
Ok, I'm going to go relax for a bit before the big RP, have a nice evening everyone.
Out!

Monday, the beginning of a long week.
It's Monday, again.
I suppose my previous mood from the weekend is now carrying into today.
I got caught up in an intense Roleplay last night, and it's kinda depressing just because it was like this long build up to something kinda sad - for those of you who don't RP, it's like a really sad part in a book, or whatever. I do text based RP - you can read examples on my website if you want here: World of RP. I don't have last nights posted as an example, but I will eventually. I have a lot of updating to do for my site first.
I'm not feeling great today, my stomach feels funny - prolly something to do with all the crap I decided to eat on the weekend. Bad idea. I have to remember not to do stuff like that to myself because it just makes me feel sick and like crap. So now, this week, I'll be getting back on course and trying to focus on making myself feel good instead of that constant loop of feeling like crap.
The system is down at work at the moment, so I'm unable to do any of my work and that's why you're getting an early morning update. So, for today I've planned to eat so far:
2 Slices WW Bread: 1pnt.
Peanutbutter: 1pnt.
Crustini Cheese/Broc/Chicken: 7pnts.
Apple: 1pnt.
Tea: 1 pnt.
11/28 points used.
So, I'll have a good amount of points for dinner tonight. I find it harder to plan dinner then my daily food intake, only because I never know what to make when I get home. It's better to plan it out before the time comes, I know, but since I'm still living at home with my parents it's kinda hard to plan when there's three other people in the household and I'm not the one cooking most nights. Hopefully when I get the condo, and am living on my own, I'll be able to better plan my days and be able to stay within point ranges - plus I wont buy shit like chips - that way it wont be anywhere near me and I'm just not the type of person to run out to the store to pick up my cravings - I'm just too lazy to give a damn that much. ~laughs~
So, I'm working on getting some more things on my list completed - eventually I'll have to do something more difficult, which worries me, but I'll do my best to get it done. The friend I was having the arguement with is now fixed, we're no longer at eachothers throats - though that could also have to do with the fact that I didn't really talk to him after we calmed down and said our apologies. Dan is doing well, he's glad to be home I think. Anyway, I think the system just came back to life, have a good day everyone. Thanks for listening, I feel a bit better. ~winks~
Update:
So, instead of the apple, I voted for chocolate, day of food was as follows:
2 Slices WWBread with Peanut Butter - 2pnts.
Crustini - 7 pnts.
Thin Chocolate Bar - 2pnts.
Cup of Soup - 1pnt.
Pita Pizza - 8pnts.
Crunchers 60g - 6pnts.
Tea - 1pnt.
Milk - 1pnt.
Small piece of cake - 4pnts.
So, I am aiming for 28pnts/day. I managed to get myself 2 activity pnts today. So, I only went over techincally by 2pnts, which I took from my weekly total of flex pnts. Bleh. I couldn't help it, my period is freakin killin me and I'm weak. heh. Anyway, I'm in pain, the Advil doesn't seem to be helping, so I think I'll head my sorry ass to bed early - have a great night everyone.
Out!

Hopefully when I get the condo, and am living on my own, I'll be able to better plan my days and be able to stay within point ranges - plus I wont buy shit like chips - that way it wont be anywhere near me and I'm just not the type of person to run out to the store to pick up my cravings - I'm just too lazy to give a damn that much. ~laughs~
So, I'm working on getting some more things on my list completed - eventually I'll have to do something more difficult, which worries me, but I'll do my best to get it done. The friend I was having the arguement with is now fixed, we're no longer at eachothers throats - though that could also have to do with the fact that I didn't really talk to him after we calmed down and said our apologies. Dan is doing well, he's glad to be home I think. Anyway, I think the system just came back to life, have a good day everyone. Thanks for listening, I feel a bit better. ~winks~
Update:
So, instead of the apple, I voted for chocolate, day of food was as follows:
2 Slices WWBread with Peanut Butter - 2pnts.
Crustini - 7 pnts.
Thin Chocolate Bar - 2pnts.
Cup of Soup - 1pnt.
Pita Pizza - 8pnts.
Crunchers 60g - 6pnts.
Tea - 1pnt.
Milk - 1pnt.
Small piece of cake - 4pnts.
So, I am aiming for 28pnts/day. I managed to get myself 2 activity pnts today. So, I only went over techincally by 2pnts, which I took from my weekly total of flex pnts. Bleh. I couldn't help it, my period is freakin killin me and I'm weak. heh. Anyway, I'm in pain, the Advil doesn't seem to be helping, so I think I'll head my sorry ass to bed early - have a great night everyone.
Out!

Not in the mood.
So, today has been an odd day.
I got into a fight with my best friend today, or really last night and it just continued to carry itself over into today - and I'm feeling kinda crap about the entire thing. I hate arguing with him, it irritates me to no end and it seems there's no way out of the loop. Plus, I always put myself into a fucked up mind set that makes me think that I need to distance myself more in order to keep from having it effect me so much. I wish that I could just let it go and move the Hell forward, but it's nearly impossible when the two of us get into an arguement. It's like neither of us will let up enough for the situation to be settled. I'm not blaming him for it, although he believes I am. I get defensive, and then I'm certainly harder to deal with. I don't like feeling insulted, or like someone is baiting me, and so if I even think for a second that it's happening, I get bitchy. Bitchy, and lash out no less. So, now I've said things that perhaps I wouldn't have said, and don't entirely mean, yet I have no way of taking them back. So, this is the upsetting portion of my day, it puts me in a bad mood, fucks up the entire mood for the day - and then he so nicely states that it doesn't bother him in the least and he doesn't much care - so I ask, why did we have to argue in the first place if none of it mattered to him at all? Was it just to get me irritated and have my own day ruined? Not really sure what he was trying to say with that comment, but I certainly could have done without it.
Moving on. My cousin, Kate, came for a visit this weekend and I spent all of yesterday and then a few more hours today hanging out with her. It's nice that now that we're older we can get along. We seem to have some things in common that just weren't there when we were kids, we're able to talk and enjoy eachothers company, I had a really great time with her and her boyfriend James last night. We went to see the movie "The Hills have Eyes"... it was... well, I'll leave the movie reviews to Mishy. I don't think it was meant to be a funny movie, yet I found myself laughing at several moments throughout the film. ~Shrugs~ So I'm twisted, not easily scared and find humor in violence - what can I say? So, hopefully when I move up to my condo in Cambridge I wont be living far from them and we can get together every month or whatever, that would be cool.
Yesterday was kinda a fall out day for the points. I was doin alright, within my range even after eating out TWICE since she was in town and we weren't home for dinner or lunch. But then, when I got in after the movie I had a horrible craving for cookies and munched down the last two from a batch I made like.. three weeks ago. Oh well, too bad, can't reverse it or anything. So, today I've been pretty good - still have about 11 pnts left for the day and all that's really left is something for dinner in the next few hours. No snacks tonight for me. ~nodnod~
Hopefully you're all having a pretty good Sunday, tomorrow is Monday.. back to work. I'm not really in the mood to think about it, so lets not. Oh, and I read the Brokeback Mountain book that Mishy lent me - it was actually a pretty good short book. (By short, I mean 55pages) Thanks for the recommendation Chicka - I'll get it back to you ASAP, though I still need to watch Run Lola Run.
Anyway, I'm gunna go. Dan is home and I want to talk to him a bit online.
Out!

Yawn.... Lazy Saturday.
Hello All, early morning update. Or, earlier than I would have liked.
My father freakin wakes me up at 7am on a freakin Saturday - why you ask? Well, he thinks it funny. I sits in the kitchen - which just so happens to be outside my bedroom, and makes noises until I just give up trying to sleep and get out of bed. Sorry, I'm a bit grumpy with him this morning - every weekend, actually. Did I mention I can't wait to be living on my own? Only like.. 6 - 8 months hopefully. If it takes longer than that, I might run down to the condo site and actually start helping them build the damn thing! Which of course, would be usless.. since I don't know the first thing about construction... but, I could like, stand there and bitch at them to go faster? Bring them their lunches, coffee, tell them their doing shit wrong and just generally look important. ~winks~
So, onto a new topic, thanks to everyone who commented on the food journal thing. I think you're all right, I'll be keeping it and using the calculator - at least for awhile. Sarah (aka: Living to Feel Good) have you tried the WW Turkey Meat loaf yet? I made it a few weeks ago and LOVED it. I have the cookbook if you'd like to know how to make it. I don't have it in front of me at the moment or I'd just give it to you reguardless. Oh, and thanks for listing my Blog on your site, that's sweet of you.
So, big news now? I've completed TWO things on my list, and I'm working on a thrid!
Last night I wrote a letter to Joyce (#52) and a letter to Connie(#53). It's been forever since I tried to keep in contact with them - so now I just have to pop the letters in the mail and it's done!
The third thing I'm working on is going to be done today or tomorrow. I'm hoping to meet up with my cousin Katie and her boyfriend James for dinner and maybe a movie or something. (#17) They are in town this weekend because he has some thing he had to attend and so we're getting together. I can't remember the last time she was here to visit.. when we were kids maybe? I usually only see her once a year (if that) and that's for Christmas. So, this will be nice.
So, I'm talking to Dan last night and he goes: 'We should go to.. (enter name here of the celebration he was talking about, no seriously, I was listening.).
Me> 'To do what? Party and drink? You know I'm not really into that.'
Dan> 'No no baby, you don't understand. The laws all go out the window for this, you can do whatever you want!'
Me> 'Yeah.. that doesn't really sound like fun baby. Like what?'
Dan> 'We could have sex in the streets and drink! Hey, we might even get our pictures taken by National Geographic.'
Me> Laughter. 'Yes, well, that's not really something I'd want to do. Plus, I still don't drink.'
Dan> Pause. 'Alright baby, I hear you. You're saying leave the topic alone for now and bring it up at a more appropriate time.'
He listens to well.. ~Smirks~ Although, he does remember freakin everything, and so I'm sure I'll be hearing about this again. He also in the conversation managed to point out that although I don't drink - I did manage to get drunk three times during the Christmas holidays - funny how that goes, hm? ~Smiles~ The boy is fantastic is all I'm sayin. Oh, and that quote wasn't entirely true... he would never speak using an eclaimation tone in his voice. Unless of course we're doing the 'Yeah?' 'Yeah!' Conversations. Ok ok, I'm shutting up now. Have a great day everyone - I need to get my ass in gear and get shit done before dinner tonight.
Out!

Friday is Fantastic!
So, it's FRIDAY!! I'm so exicted, get to wear my jeans and runners - w00t w00t!
I get to have the next two days off! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
And I don't have to worry about work for either of them.
I get to sleep in for two mornings.
And do whatever I like!
God, it's on Fridays when life is just good. ~Grins~
So anyway, nothing is really new. Last night for dinner went as planned - had a great time.
The food at Shoeless Joe's was just ok. I don't really like it there - but their lattace fries and garlic dip is amazing - so I counted that as 13pnts. The club SUCKED and it was tiny and had like nothing on it - not even freakin mayo! So I only counted it for 6pnts. I managed to not go over my points for the day - though the walking I did helped with that task. ~winks~
I haven't completed anything else on my list - but I'm feeling the pressure! Honest.
So, I can't decide. Now that I've bought the WW Calculator, I can't decide if I should continue my written food journal or not? What to you peeps think? I mean, I guess it's a good idea incase I forget my calculator somewhere. Or even if something changes then I could maybe look back at my book and see why? OR I could use it to remember what something was worth point wise, or even to make sure that I'm keeping up on variety in my eating habits. I'm one of those people who can like, eat the same damn thing over and over until I can't even stand to look at it - which is bad.
So, what do you guys think? Keep it? Toss it?
Anyway, gotta get going. Laura and I are goin for a walk.
Out!

Fancy and New!
So, I got a the WeightWatchers Fancy new calculator. Or maybe it's old.. cause apparently they are going to come out with yet another new one - whatever! This one works just fine for my tastes. So now I can have the little calculator to keep track of my points - and I can't tell you how excited I am!
Tonight I'm going to Shoeless Joes for dinner with Mishy, Lynda, Laura and Kathy - should be a blast, the girls always make me laugh. Heh. So, I'm thinkin I'm going to have th Chicken Club - and since they don't give their nutritional value for it, and the WW Fast Food book doesn't have it - I've decided to count it as 12pnts. I think that's fair - isn't it? THEN, I also would like the lattace fries - or Ceasar - which are both a lot of points. I'll only eat half of whatever I decided to get, and count it as like.. 5 - 6 points I think. I don't know. I guess I'll just decide when I'm there. I've tried not to eat too many points away this afternoon, hoping to save some up. Plus, I went for a walk at first break, and another now at lunch, hoping to bank some points. So maybe, just maybe, I'll break even for the day. ~Fingers crossed.~ Shoeless Joe's just isn't my choice for eating out - mostly because there's so little I like there, and everything I do like is so high in points. Actually, I'm pretty damn sure everything there is high in points. BUT, I'll make it work - it'll be worth it. ~Smiles.~
Anyway, I need to get back to work, only about 5 minutes left before lunch is over for me. Hope you are all having a good day, and I'll try to maybe get some stuff on my list done - shouldn't be too hard.. hopefully. ~winks~

Back on track.
So, it's Tuesday and I'm back on track with the Weight Watchers crap.
Used up 24 points yesterday (I'm aiming for no higher than 27 pnts/day) so that was pretty good - kinda makes up for the way too high 38 I scored the day before. ~Hangs head in shame~ BUT, I'm letting that day go. (Seriously, I am.) So, today is day two of being back on track.
Tonight I'm going out with Lori for our regular Tuesday night dinner, not sure where we're going but I have enough points to go out at least. Kelseys or Swiss Chalet would probably be my choice, just because I can pick something to eat there. Maybe I'll aime for Swiss - just cause it's easier to count and plus it's affordable and yummy. I really wish they would keep their creamy chicken soup all year though - I miss it.
So, onto other things. I created a Monkey last night in Photoshop.. and it looks.. stupid. ~laughs~ Yet, I'm pretty sure I'm going to post it on my website Funny Page - cause well, I need a new title bar there and I want to! (www.digitalgoobie.com/funny.htm) As you can see, the page needs an update - I really REALLY need a new joke for it, but haven't come across one in a long time that made me laugh.. so, I'm stumped.
Anyway, I think I'm going to run across the street and pick myself up a Tim's tea.. mmm.
Oh, and I wanted to make a quick post that Dan is so damn cute/hot/funny.. but shh.. don't tell him that - I'm pretending that I don't love him at all. ~winks~
Oh wait! One more thing before I go - I just wanted to say that Mishy did a 101 things to do in 1001 days list on her Blog, and I MIGHT be doing one myself - though... I'm not so sure. I mean, that's a lot of pressure!! ~Grins~
Out!

Monday.. I hate Mondays.
I really wish it was still the weekend - but it's not, so I'll just have to deal and move on.
Anyway, so, I'm eating my Bistro Crustini from Stouffer's for a 6 pnt value. (Its the parm chicken - it's pretty tasty.) Though, my fav one is the Broc/Chicken and Cheese.. worth 7pnts.
So, anyway. Last night didn't go well with my point counting.
I made mashed potatoes for dinner, and didn't feel well afterwards.
Now, I know one of my habits is - when I don't feel better, eat more, eat things that are salty until I feel better. Which, generally I do - though I think it has nothing to do with the food and everything to do with my brain. So. I was doing alright, and then Mom and Dad returned home with a coffee cake from Coseco that I just LOVE - needless to say, it all went down hill from there.
BUT, today is a new day, and I'm back on track, moving forward.
Rainy here, so I wont be getting my nice 30 minutes of walking time in which kinda sucks.
So, it's a good thing I went for two walks on the weekend.
Anyway, have an excellent day everyone.

Weight Watchers - Why not?
So, I don't know why I'm making a post, but I thought I should maybe throw on an update.
So.. to perhaps be a little more personal then I was planning to on here, I've decided to talk about myself, and the fact that I'm on this little adventure of trying to loose some weight. So.. many... many people have where I am, so this in no way makes me special - BUT, still, I thought I'd share my little comments and such here and there.
So, I've come to a point in my life that perhaps I am actually ready to loose the pounds.
I'm not sure what makes this time different then any time that came before.. but.. I think it is.
Or rather, I feel that it is.
So, I've decided to take one day at a time, try to keep somewhat focused and really start giving a damn about me, and where I'm going in my life. ~Smiles~ That said, you may be wondering what my plans are? My sister has done WeightWatchers before - and Although she decided not to stick with it for a long period of time, I did have the chance to look at some of the material and thought - hey, this isn't that difficult. I've done the group meetings a long time ago, and another place where you had to go into the facility and such - and it just didn't work for me. Having to weigh in really doesn't motivate me. So, I've decided to do it alone.
What's nice about the... program or whatever you'd like to call it, is it isn't a diet - it's eating right, eating better. I can have whatever I want - as long as I stay within the target point range. I'm trying to keep it simple, so I'm not really using the flex points for the week, or going crazy about over calculating things - I don't want to make it so I'm so anal that I hate doing it. Pretty much, I'm eating smaller portions, cooking more so I can have more healthier food instead of less crappy food. I'm kinda using the WW guide as the bones of the plan, and then throwing my own little twist in - I can do whatever I want, and all I ask of mysef is to give it a try. It hasn't been that hard, I mean, sure, I'm still having those cravings to like.. eat way too much... but I'm catching them now.. you see? Where as before, it wasn't until I was very full that I stopped eating. It's odd, how you notice your own habits.
Anyway, here's hoping that I continue moving forward with this.. I'll post from time to time on it. I also went out and bought the WW new Cookbook that had fantastic ideas in it. I've tried the Oven Fries - which were really good. I've also made the Turkey Meatloaf - which was way better then I even expected. The Bacon and Corn chowder wasn't bad, I've never had chowder before, so that was a first. And I also tried the Mac N Cheese - which I hated. But I don't really like Kraft Dinner anyway.. so....
Ok, I'm shutting up now!

Because it's my Blog, and I can.
So, I went to McDonalds this morning and go myself a Bacon Egg McMuffin for breakfast. (Yum)
And, in doing so, rec'd a free Newspaper.. can't remember which one.. the Sun, maybe the Star?
I don't really care, I rarely even read the News, watch the News, or have anything to do with News in general. But today, Laura (my walking partner at breaks), is forced to work through her lunch and so, I remained at my desk with nothing better to do but read some articles.
In doing so, I came across two that caught my eye;
First was titled 'Save the gun registry' and you may ask yourself 'Becca, you aren't into guns - so what the Hell do you care?' Well, the word 'gun' and 'registry' reminded me of Dan so I took a look. Apparently, Stephen Harper is wanting to waive re-registering shotguns and rifles ($60 charge)? What the Hell for was my only question. Seriously, isn't it important to KNOW who owns guns, what type of guns, etc? I hardly think having to re-register a gun every 5 years for a small fee of $60 is all that difficult or that large of a problem that it needs to be addressed? Lets face facts people (ahem, Dan) guns are weapons. They are used for target practice, hunting, and on many (I'm not sure how many people die per week by gun related violence.. but I'll take a shot in the dark that it's pretty damn high.) occasions shooting other humans. (Just what I've heard, you'll have to correct me if I'm wrong here.. ~winks~) So why, OH WHY, would you what to STOP keeping track of them? Or was it just the $60 fee that bothered Harper? Since when was shit free? You own a car, you pay to own it, you own land, you pay, you own anything and you pay for it.. so why not guns? Who else is supposed to pay to have a registry for them? The people who DON'T own guns? Perhaps you'd like to up taxes to cover the loss of the $90 million dollars the re-registering brings in?
Alright, alright, I'm done ranting on that topic. Next, we have a topic on 'End seal hunt sooner than later'. Now, this one might get me into a bit of trouble, and perhaps I should research it more before I form an opinion.. but.. just a quick comment perhaps? Don't jump down my throat and cry about how horrible the poor fluffy seal will be taking the killing.. but.. I don't understand the HUGE anger towards this. (Hides, incase someone beats her with a club for even saying that.) Wait wait, seriously now. What's the difference between hunting a seal, compared to lets say... slaughtering a cow? Or a pig? Chicken? Deer? Emu? Fish? Snake? Whale? Rabbit (They are cute and fluffy too..) Etc... etc.... I just don't understand... now. If lets say you're against ALL killings of animals.. and you don't eat meat.. then I will be more than happy to listen to what you have to say since you make it a rule in your every day life. I just don't get how someone can argue how cruel it is to club a seal (Sure it's sad! You're killing something to eat it!) when they are shoving their face with a burger lets say.. you think that cow was happy to die?? Well, do ya? So, I'm not saying it's wrong, or right, I'm just saying... I don't understand the arguements. The seal hunt has been going on for like.. ever.. it's a tradition.. not that that helps make it right or wrong, but I think you need a better arguement than 'seals are cute and fuzzy.. don't hit them with clubs! It makes me sad.' Would you feel better if they shot them in the head maybe.. just a real quick one second death? Dunno.. just a question.
Ok, now I'm gunna shut up. Back to work I go.. I'm sure to never hear the end of this one.. heh.

A Thursday Morning.
Morning all, just thought I'd pop on here and put up an entry.
I have like, five minutes before I have to head out to work - bleh.
At least today I get to have lunch with Mishy! w00t w00t! Haven't seen her in awhile.
Nothing is really know, same old. Lots of work.. lots of RPing going on.
Currently Suz and I are in this middle of this complicated plot line we've come up with.
I have the ending kept to myself, which means the final twist of this plot is left for me to figure out how to make it work (my own doing, since I'm keeping it secret. Hehe) But I've kinda backed myself into a corner and have to think of how to deal with it without getting one of the Characters killed. ~Rolls her eyes~
Anway, I really should get going to work. I heard there was an accident blocking one of the streets here in town, so I have to try and avoid the traffic.
I'm out!
