It's Friday, long weekend! w00t w00t!

I just reposted yesterdays post with an extra exercise pnt since after I got home from the dress fitting I totally did my ball exercise - which is making my body ache a bit today, but hopefully that will go away because I hate feeling crappy the day after. I'm dead tired at the moment. Awake an hour earlier because I want to go into work early and earn a bit of extra money today - if I would have fell asleep after Lori left I'm sure I would have been fine. Instead I tossed and turned for about an hour - I think this stress is really getting to me.

Anyway, I should maybe get going.. have to leave in about twenty minutes.
Peace out and stuff, enjoy the weekend and Happy Canada day everyone!

12:40pm Update:
Five minutes to do a post here, and my lunch is over. I've eaten A LOT so far today, normally I don't go past 15 pnts ever during the day - that way I have some pnts to use at night incase I get 'carried away' - but today I was awake at 6am, and out of the house by 6:30am to be at work for 7:30am to earn myself some overtime hours. So, I was starving, and have been all day. Hopefully now I'll be good until I get home so I can have a good dinner and go to bed if I get hungry. Hell, I'm tired and ready to go to bed now! I need to finish laundry, pack and such for the weekend tonight. I'm going up to Oma and Opas (AGAIN) this weekend. I rarely go twice in one month - but my Mother needs help with a BBQ she's throwing for our family which means I have to drive 2hrs to help out. I don't want to go, I'm just wanting time alone - to rest, relax.. it's the weekend. Ah well, I have Monday off and am coming home Sunday - so that'll leave me at least that entire day to lounge around. Anyway, I guess I should get back to work. It's month end here - and like every month end - it's crazy busy. I'm doing pretty good for my count so far today, have 8 completed - another 8 before the day is done is my goal - that would be sweet for my average. Anyway, I seriously need to go, can't wait to get home, relax, read some more of 'The Devil wears Prada' and then go to bed.. mmm.. sweet sweet sleep. Ok, talky later all.

Out!

Whew.

Thursday, finally. I'm so ready for the weekend I can't even tell you. No ball exercising last night, but I did have a fantastic time out with Mishy - lots of laughs. Totally lightened my mood and when I got home, I started reading the new book I bought - The Devil wears Prada. So far, it's quite funny, makin me chuckle and such. I might try to do some exercise tonight, but I have my fitting so maybe not - depends on my mood I guess. I'm not much in the mood to do anything else besides hang out and lounge around these days - not good for the weight loss journey I'm on.. but I'm still counting my pnts and trying to stay OP, so that's ok. Anyway, lunch is almost over here, be good all.

What day is it? Right, Wednesday.

Heh, all morning I've been confusing myself as to what day of the week it is. Feels like a Thursday, but it's Wednesday. Then I'm not so sure, so I start trying to figure the days out.. and get more confused. Anyway, Happy Wednesday everyone. Nothing much new here, I'm going to make a post later on for my Condo stuff.. because at least something got finished that I don't have to worry about anymore. Went 1pnt over last night because I had a tea from Tims - it was worth it, nice and warm and relaxing. Got enough sleep last night, like usual, but I'm still pretty sleepy this morning - makes no difference to the day, fact remains I need to go to work - so I'm going. No ball exercising last night, my abs are still sore and the last thing I want to do it make it even worse, so, I've put it off. Maybe tonight. Maybe.

12:00 pm Update:
So, it's lunch and I managed to talk myself out of making a second trip to McDonalds - yay me. I'm sitting at my desk eating my Crustini. I think I'm going to have to go buy some deli meat and make sandwiches for lunch to spice up the routine a bit.

I'm still not so sure about the exercise ball routine tonight, maybe I can take it easy a bit, not over strain the moves or something.. and that way I wont feel like shit for the following three days. Ya think? I was going to go to the pool this Thursday, check it out, swim some laps maybe but I booked my dress fitting for the wedding that night, so I can't do both. Depending on what I end up doing this weekend, I might go. Who knows. Otherwise, next week if I can muster the motivation I'll start going on Tuesday's and Thursdays.

So, I need new clothes. I'm not sure where you all shop, but currenly I do all my shopping at Addition-Elle. They are the only place really that I can find clothes in my size that don't belong on an old woman (and frankly, I doubt even old women want to wear clothes MADE for old women - but maybe that's just me.) My biggest problem with shopping for plus size is that apparently to be over weight you have to have massive breasts - this is not the case for me. Therefore, shirts that fit around my hips are HUGE around my bust line. Pants usually fit alright - I need new black dress pants for work. But because I just bought shoes for the wedding, and will have to pay the other half for the dress this week my Amex is already going to be high this month. (Or higher than I wanted. ~frowns~) So I'll have to put off buying clothes that fit and aren't falling appart until next month - sucks. Cause all my dress pants look horrible. They are several sizes too large now. Ah well, people will just have to assume I like the dressy/baggy look. Heh.

Out!

So tired and so not feelin great.

I'm tired as Hell, even though I managed to sleep through the night last night and my body still isn't feeling great. I still feel like I over worked muscles I shouldn't have.. which in turn is making me want to do nothing but crawl back into bed this morning and sleep it off since it makes me offically feel like crap. But, I have overtime today - 2 extra hours to spend at work.. ~sighs and drags herself upstairs to get ready~

No sleep, again.

Apparently, I have pulled some muscles in my abdomen. I'm not sure if it's from the exercising I did on Friday from the ball - or from something I did yesterday? (Maybe too much walking or something did it? Dunno.) But I've pulled all the muscles in my abdomen and felt like dying all night. I fell asleep fine, could feel that tight ache there - but still managed to sleep for the first hour or so. After that, I was up every hour until 3:30am. I'm so tired this morning.. the thought of not going to work has occured to me.. but I think I should try to go at least. Two nights in a row with not much sleep, and none of it good sucks. My stomach is feeling a bit better this morning, tight when I do certain things still, but better than last night where every position I layed in hurt. Needless to say, the ball excercises I had planned for tonight are completely out for fear of making it worse.

I was going to tell you more about the parade, but my brain is so slow this morning.. it was just fun seeing people having fun, and walking around and stuff. There were tons of people with their dogs there - and the dogs behaved so well - like the crowds of people were nothing to them and the loud music and horns and screaming was just an every day event. Hrm, maybe that loud base from that one float hurt my chest more than I thought? Mishy and I were forced to endure like.. 10 minutes of bone shaking music when the parade stopped at one point - it almost made you want to flee the area because of how loud it was. There were people dressed as Elves/Faries, men in drag, men in nothing but things like.. cock rings and bells in that same area. Men in leather, leather harnesses and people with collars being led around by a leash. Lots of people dressed in bright colours, huge head pieces that must have been a bitch to wear in that heat. There was even someone dress completely in Tin foil!! They would have baked throughout the day I bet. There were little concerts going on, people lined up at food venders. Needless to say, it was just a good time. Loved it. Anyway, I need to get ready for work now.. maybe.. I'm so tired here I can't stop yawning. Bleh.

12:15pm Update:
So, I've a question for all you Weight Loss people... have you ever been doing really well with your goals and such.. and loosing, people are noticing, it's all good - but you still feel like crap? Like you get these little pangs of something when you think about how far you need to go, how much more you want, etc?? Cause lately, honestly this is how I've been feeling. I can't seem to shake it. I know I'm doing well, I can tell from the scale and from how loose my clothing fits - but still - I want more. I want to be further along.. and I'm trying so hard not to think like this because I don't want to upset myself and then suddenly have to urge to just say fuck it all. And I'm loosing at a good pace it's not that either. It's just something.. when I look in the mirror, for as good as I feel about myself for doing this - i still don't see who I want to see - am I making sense here? Anyway.. just wondering if anyone else is feeling this, and if anyone has any ideas on how to deal with it??

Out!

City Adventure for Gay Pride.

So, today's the big day! I'm off to the city with Mishy to show our support, shop, eat, and generally hang out and have a good time. I'm excited, bit nervous cause I'm totally outta my regular comfort zone - yes, I'm a freak. But, I'm good. Ok, I'm too tired to write anymore at the moment.. just woke up. Talky later, I'll try to update when I get home.

6:25pm Update:
Ok, so I just got home.. just got home, got changed out of my sticky hot clothes and got myself a HUGE glass of ice water. I'm completely drained of all energy - it was a blast! The sun was out full force - wasn't so bad for the parade since Mishy and I found a shade covered spot next to a Shoppers and stayed there to watch. It was hard to see the people walking, since there was such a large crowd, but we could definately see a lot of people on floats... and ALOT of those said persons in some cases. Men who were completely nude, or others in outfits that left little to no imagination (I drooled on myself a few times I think, the firefighters - hot!!) There were topless women, with beads and such kinda sorta not covering themselves up.. I bet they were a lot cooler than the couple guys we saw on stilts withwedding dresses on, or the people wearing leather/pleather!! I would have died.

Afterwards, we decided to walk around, check out the stands and find someplace to eat. Honestly, at this very moment I can't remember the place we stopped to eat but I had egg salad on a bun that was YUM! The bun was so damn good, oh, and i had some grapefruit juice. It was HOT, I wore sunscreen, so I think I managed to escape without a burn. Didn't end up buying anything really - cept a waffle, it was lemon with cinnamon on it - pretty good. Which means of course that #63 on my 101 Things list is complete! Yay. You know what? I'm too lazy to write anymore, I'll try to write some more later.. had a fantastic time!! Hehehe. Thanks for the invite Mishy! You rock.. and thanks for driving.. and for making sure I didn't get lost. ~winks~

Goodmorning, goodmorning!

So, I'm in an alright mood this morning, little sleepy so I feel like I'm dragging my ass around - but it's the weekend, so that's totally allowed. I can already feel the bit of distant soreness from the exercise ball workout yesterday. Hopefully it will remain pretty minor for tomorrow because I have a big day planned! Mishy and I are going to the city (Toronto) to attend the Gay Pride Parade. I'm so excited! I never go to the city, ever. I'm just not usually out there... doing things. Mishy suggested one of those child wrist leash things.. and I'm thinkin as long as the velcro holds.. couldn't hurt. ~laughs~ Anyway, I'm very excited about going, and hope we have a fantastic time. (Mishy, call me when you read this and we'll make final plans and details.) Hopefully it's not too hot, because I can only assume we're going to be outside baking under the sun for most of it. (Must remember to put on sunscreen.) Nothing is new, I'm trying to think of what to eat today and kinda playing around with a few things but nothing is really sticking... I'm hungry at the moment, but again, can't decide what to have... hrm. Anyway, you all have a great weekend. Hope the weather is as great for you as it's supposed to be here.

10:45am Update:
Hello again, so, I totally indulged a bit this morning with that cheesy bread dip. I kinda had to guess at the points, but I thought for the small amount I actually had - 4pnts was enough. It's really REALLY bad for you though. I think I'll go for a walk later just to like.. make myself feel alright about even having any at all. There was a time I would have ate like 10x what I had today, so that's something - isn't it? I feel no urge to go and have anymore, infact, at the moment as I sip on my OJ mixed with water (I'm strange, I know this.) I'm feeling very full. Anyway, I've updated the Condo Journey with the latest 'non-update' since it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. My mom is starting her weekly cleaning routine, which of course means she's waiting for me to fall into step and do mine to get the house cleaned up - we'll see. I suppose I should do it, since it wasn't done for the last two weeks since I wasn't home but I just don't feel like it! Eh, maybe if I work up a sweat I can count it as an activity pnt. Hehe.

Not much...

Goodmorning to everyone on this.. warm Friday morning. Yes, that's right, it's Friday. Nothing new to tell you all really, last night was fairly busy for me. Got home from work after doing some overtime, quickly cooked myself dinner, ate and did dishes before calling Lori and headed out with her for some coffee and a nice chat. Once we were caught up on eachothers lives a bit I came home, came on here to update my Blog and Mishy called me which then resulted in a like.. 2+ hour conversation that definately helped to get rid of some anger and stress. So I just wanted to say thank you to both Ladies for the conversations.. I needed it.

Today I don't really have anything planned. I was thinking of asking my Mom if she would want to go see Xmen 3 tonight, but I doubt she will since my Dad flys in from Edmonton. We'll see. I was also planning on maybe doing that exercise routine with the Ball but as the day went on yesterday my legs and ass started getting more and more sore! Heh, again, I guess I'll just see if I'm up to it when I get home.

Anyway, I's gots to go. Have a good end of the work week everyone, hope that you have good weekends if I don't get talking/blogging with you.

Ouchy, bouncy balls hurt!

So I purchased one of those large exercise balls yesterday and did about 30 minutes of working out and a lot of sitting, laying and playing on it yesterday. My ass hurts! My one arm hurts.. heh. I couldn't believe how difficult some of the moves on the DVD were.. and how much of a workout it actually was - it was kinda fun. Hopefully I'll be motivated enough to do it.

Spent the day with my mom yesterday, not the entire day so I can't check off that on my list. But I bought two pairs of shoes that I might wear to Lori's wedding. Either way, now I have to get my ass in gear and actually make my appointment for the dress fitting. We had a good day together, my piss ass mood faded away shortly after we left the house - so that was good. We also stopped at a lane swimming pool to check if they were open to the public, how much and when someone could go. So I'm thinking, if I can seriously muster up enough motivation I might try to get back into swimming. I used to be on a swim team (a very, very long time ago) and loved it. I love swimming, I used to be good at it.. I don't know what it'll be like to swim the laps on my own... but I'd be willing to give it a try. I don't want to do exercise that's going to eventually hurt my joints or something.. so I'd like to take it slow and swimming is low impact. So, I really think I should go that route... just have to make myself go to the place now... heh.

Still haven't weighed myself this week, I'm curious to know where the little needle is going to fall - the last time I checked I was up about 2 pounds because of the weekend I spent at the cottage - here's hoping at least that's gone and I'm breaking even. We'll see on Monday - I'm determined to just put it off until then. Concentrate on keeping within pnts - which I've been doing pretty good this week. It's Thursday.. one more day to go and then I'm on the weekend.. common weekend! Heh. Anyway, I'm going to go do my internet rounds now before I finish getting ready for work - have a good day all.

12:15pm Update:
Ok, I just made a trip to A&P to pick up a few things and finally they had the veggie tray thing I wanted. So I bought that. Of course they didn't have one that was mixed with Pumpernickle bread - so I bought it myself. Now I have a huge loaf of it - enough to make a few servings - unless people at home eat it all up. heh. I also, as I stood in line, happened to see a magazine with a yummy picture of Johnny Depp on the cover (Newsweek) OMG he is delicious!! I love him, I can't wait to see the next pirates movie. Heh. Fantastic. Anyway, not much more to update on. I'm kinda sleepy cause it's HOT outside, walking over was a chore, lemme tell ya!

Forgot a title - Oops.

Another good one from Pearls Before Swine - wow, two in a row! Heh.

Anyway, morning everyone. I have today off and boy oh boy do I need it. I'm not in the best of moods right now, frankly, I'm down right pissed off. Whatever, if Matt's reading this.. which I highly doubt it since he doesn't find time to do such things - thanks for the morning chat, it was just so fucking fantastic to start out the day on a high note - yipee. Clearly, I'm very irritated right now, and perhaps later when I return to my Blog I will read this post and feel a tiny twang of guilt for writing such things in here.. but at this very moment - don't much care. So bite me little voice tellin me this shit is wrong.

Moving on. Nothing to write, I'm going to get ready.

Frank Caliendo - Impressions

Dude, you must watch - THIS - link, because it's too freakin funny!!!!!!!
Matt showed it to me, died laughing, Mishy - watchy!

Tossing and turning..

Last nights sleep was.. interesting I suppose. I didn't get much, which isn't good for the upcoming day of overtime - but eh, what can ya do, right? Night started with talking to Dan on the phone, shortly after we hung up, I fell asleep. Only to be woken up around 1am by a call from Goober. After some chit chatting about stuff it was suddenly 2:30am and we both needed to get up early for work so we hung up. Do you think I could freakin fall asleep?!! I tossed and turned for over an hour, trying to sleep.. for some reason I felt itchy everywhere, it was driving me crazy. Then when I finally did drift off to sleep I was having nightmares that woke me up instantly.. Not sure when I actually fell back to sleep - but needless to say, it's not even 6:30am yet and I'm drained of energy - apparently my body just didn't want the sleep. Bleh.

Nothing new really, I stayed within pnts yesterday - yay. I'm starving at the moment, but I'm not eating anything until I get to work. And even then, I'm not sure what to have. Peanut butter and toast, again, I assume. Anyway, I'm going to get going.. need to head to work here shortly, so everyone have a good day - hopefully it's a bit cooler outside than yesterday.

One last thing, Pearls before Swine made me laugh today, might wanna check it out.

12:38pm Update:
Blogger is being a bugger! Work you stupid thing.. stop being so slow and delaying loading. Grr. So, I'm using up my pnts quickly today it seems and I still have the entire day to go and I'm at 15!! I want a wrap tonight, but if I keep up at this pace I don't think I'll have enough pnts. It's hard when I work overtime, because I start to get really hungry before I can get home to eat dinner. Hopefully though the turkey sandwich I had will hold me for most of the rest of the day. Fingers crossed. Lunch is almost over, I just wanted to post a quick update here for something to do. (I'm bored you see.) I'm thinking of going into the 'city' with Mishy this weekend.. it'll be my 2nd only ever trip to T.O. to just like.. wander around. It's Pride week, so there's a parade going on that she wants to see.. so I might tag along like a lost little puppy.. again, we'll see. Quota at work isn't going so well today - sending a lot back to be corrected. So I'm half way through the day and only have 5 completed out of the required 12. Not good, we'll see if I make it. Anyway, back to work, gotta put the chains back on. ~winks~ Be good.

7:55pm Update:
It's been a wonderful day outside, sunny, cool, and dry. The perfect day for me, someone who hates humidity and heat. So, even though I didn't get home until 6:40pm tonight, and had to cook dinner so I didn't eat until 7pm. Then I did dishes - I still managed to talk myself into going for a walk - even dragged my mom with me. She didn't want to go at first, but once I made my mind up I was going, she decided she would too. Sometimes I think that just the mention of someone else going kinda gives you that little push that was making you believe skipping the walk would be easier. So, I feel pretty good at the moment. Full from my large wrap at dinner, and I accomplished my overtime and dishes today along with getting some exercise in. I'm happy with how today turned out. Plus, I have tomorrow off work - so I'm crazy excited about that! (Even though I'm going shoe shopping for the wedding.. argh.. been putting it off and putting it off. Pray I find something tomorrow or I'll cry.) Right now I'm talking to a friend of mine online - ZMonkey (aka Carl) - and he's happy, he's finally decided to look out for himself first - to do thing for HIM instead of trying to control the things around him that are untouchable. I say - Good for him! I'm so glad he's feeling good about things, and is finding a way to be happy for himself. ~huggles ZMonkey~ Anyway, I'd best be going. I'd like to maybe get a couple little tasks done before the night is up. Have to maybe make a list of all the things I wanna to tomorrow so I don't forget. Goodnight everyone.

Another week, another dollar.

Morning everyone, just woke up from a nice long sleep I had last night - went to bed early so I could actually get some rest - actually, that's lying. The real reason I went to bed was because my mind wouldn't shut up and I just wanted it to stop, wanted all the thoughts that were blasting through it to end - so I went to sleep. Plus, I was very much out of pnts and was feeling hungry - so yet another thing to avoid by using sleep. Weekend was pretty good, lots of visiting going on and such - the whole big breakfast on Sundays thing continues - and then we plays some games outside - my ass hurts from bending over so much to pick up the balls from the ground. I also got a small sunburn on Saturday - and considering I was ducking into shade when it wasn't my turn in th game and was wearing sunscreen - the sun is apparently pretty damn dangerous. It's already fading though, so whew.

So, it's a new week. Normally I'd step on the scale this morning, but I've decided not to weigh myself until the end of the month. Last weekend was so bad for pnts, I'm prolly just breaking even this week (hopefully) so no sense in checking since what I really want to see are big changes - know what I mean? Anyway, I'm gunna jump into the shower here soon, so have a great day everyone... Mishy, wanna do something this week? I really, REALLY need to get out away from my house. Heh.

Life is complicated.

Still, every avenue of my life seems complicated - possibly more complicated than it should be, but there you have it - it just is.

I'm trying not to freak out about certain things, but it's difficult, some things I've kept from mentioning on here - because really, it's pretty personal and if the people who it was about read it and became upset - I'd feel like shit. So, I'm avoiding those topics. The condo, is well, stressful for me at the moment. I wanted to roll the 2nd portion of the upgrades into my Mortgage, and it has now turned into this crazy difficult 100 task thing, with a cost to me for doing it. So... I think I'm going to have to say fuck it, and just pay it in full. Which of course means I'm going to be at $0 for savings instantly - makes my heart race just thinking about it. I'm not good with having no money, but I guess I should get used to it cause once I move out.. I aint gunna have any.

Anyway, I need to start packing and have my shower so I can get on the road and head 'up home' to see Oma, Opa and Elfie for the weekend. It's supposed to be killer hot out today - yuck - and there is no air conditioning where we're going.. so if I don't return, you can assume I melted like an icecube in Hell.

Out!

... Hrm ...

There are things I can think of to write, but I don't think It's a good idea to write about them today, or here. So, I will keep this short and just list my food list for the day - maybe an update will appear later.. but right now, I've really got nothing.

12:30pm Update:
I'm freezing!! The air conditioner is on like full blast, must put sweater on.....
Ok, so, Laura and I went to McDonalds for lunch - I was starving, and the thought of that damn Crustini in the kitchen makes me want to run away. So, like normal, I used my new tactic of eating at fast food places - instead of buying combos, I purchase only one item and eat that. Which of course allows me the freedom to have ANYTHING I want, I only restrict myself by the # of items. You'd be surprised I'd bet if you are someone who jumps on the combos all the time at how filling JUST the fries can be, or the sandwich on its own. Plus, it fits usually within pnts (at least for me it does). I also find that doing this keeps me from feeling like I'm dieting - because that's not what I'm doing, I'm changing how and what I eat - this is how I plan on always making my choices. I do have to say though, that once I got the Chicken Mcnuggets and couldn't finish them all at once, or what trying to make them last or whatever and ended up letting them get cold - they are GROSS cold. Like, I gave up and threw them out instead of eating gross. I wont make that mistake again. I definately over-eat if the extra food is there, that's one of my quirks I suppose. Anyway, I'm rambling.. not sure why. Hope you are all having a good day, the weather outside is WAY too hot for me - I'm so not a summer person. Bring the Fall weather!!

6:00pm Update:
I'm home, it's the weekend, thank God! I'm starving at the moment. Even though I just had an egg sandwich - I'm craving something, and earlier I thought it was chocolate - so I had a bit (M&Ms) and that seemed to kill that craving - but now I'm in overdrive thinking of all the food I want to eat and none of it is here! Curses. Nothing new, I'm home, like I said. Tired from a very long week. Going up home tomorrow, should be back Sunday. There was something I wanted to mention.. but now it's completely slipped my mind.. ah well, peace out Chickas.

Out!

Goodmorning @ 6am!

Thank God it's the last day this week I'll be doing overtime - don't get me wrong, no one is forcing me to do this overtime, it's all optional - but I need $$ and so I volunteer. There is still so much I need to do and haven't done anything, my brain doesn't seem to want to think of those things - so instead I do none of them.. still. Nothing is really new since I wrote last, I did end up going for that walk last night - my mom came along, which is nice because then I can chit chat with her. Anyway.. I'm going to go get ready, have a good Thursday (w00t w00t, dress down day! Jeans and runners here I come!!) Oh, and sorry for the lack of updates throughout the day - I have NO time to do it anymore. My lunch hour is spent escaping the office.. heh.

12:15pm Update:
Ok, so I made it back from my running around a little bit early, and decided to say hi on here. Nothing has changed, I'm at work, pluggin away just like every other day. I was pretty hungry about five minutes ago before I started eating my sandwich I made for lunch - better now. Stopped at A&P and bought some veggies and dip for a snack. So I might munch on that later. Also picked up my Fathers Day card and some gift certs from Canadian Tire for my Dad, so he'll like that. I'm at least done that much. Quota is coming pretty slow today - I think I'm tired and that's the problem... otherwise, same old. Same old. Talk to you all later.

Out!

"You think I'm a Mormon, don't you?"


The plan was to post this title, and a picture of the Goobers (my Best Friend) new badge he got yesterday from Geek Squad. He's a Special Agent, and called me last night when he got home from the GS meeting and was crazy excited about the Badge - and honestly, I can't blame him. I was going to post a piccy of it here on my site - but no, he didn't email it to me. Anyway, no time to write right now, so I'm going to get going. More Overtime today.. wish me luck.

7:15pm Update:
So, there it is - the sexy GeekSquad Badge, isn't it great? I love it, he's so excited and I'm so proud of the Goober! Yay. It's pretty large, I know, I did size it down a bit and such - but to get the full effect I didn't want to make it too small, it's just so shinny, and pretty... ~drools~

Anyway, today was alright. I got 17 apps completed at work today - would have been 19, except at the last second, and I do mean last second - I found an error made by the brk and shit couldn't get done. I was bummed, woulda been my best day yet - mighta got myself a gold star and everything! ~smirks~ Anyway, I'm feeling good now that I'm home, it was touch and go for awhile during the day - work is just frustrating all around. Tomorrow I'm working overtime and then nothing until next week. It's not really earning me all that much more $$ - but the way I see it, me working a bit of overtime maybe pays enough for some dinners or something, ya know?

Not much else is new, I just got home around 6:30pm, ate some dinner quickly, did the dishes and then came on here. I might go for a walk - if I can muster up the motivation and then I'd like to read some more of my book. Anyway, hope you're all doing fine - talky later!

Oh, and the Crustini's I eat are the broc, cheddar and chicken or the Chicken Parm one.. which do you have?

Out!

The scale whispers sweet nothings to me...

My urge for that scale is back, or still here, or whatever. I stepped on it again this morning, and can I just tell you... that pasta chicken meal I had yesterday... well.. not a good idea while you're dieting is all I'm saying. ~laughs~ So I'm going to go upstairs, shove that scale into the closet and stop looking at it because it's nearly impossible not to step on it when it's sitting right there! I've never had this problem before, no idea where it has come from now.

I'm feeling a bit better today, another early night for me last night. Think I went to bed around 9:30pm because I was still so tired - and slept pretty much the entire night through, no pains, no nothing. Which was nice, but this morning I still feel tired - which it starting to seriously grate my nerves because it means I have to force myself to go to work each and every morning... or maybe, the thought of work makes me tired because things aren't going so well there right now.. either way, I'm tired.

Any day now, I'm going to start accomplishing stuff again. I haven't bought shoes for the wedding yet, which also means I haven't had the fitting yet. (Lori is going to freak) I haven't been exercising properly, haven't been completeing anything off my Blog list of 101 Things to do in 1001 Days... I just need to refocus some things... which for me, is more difficult than it should be. Anyway, I need to go finish getting ready, hope you all have a good day - hear it's supposed to warm up a little bit, so that should make you summer lovers happy.

8:05pm Update:
Thanks everyone for your concern about my chest pains - I agree with you, I think they are totally stress related / panic attacks - whatever, but what's the doctor going to do for me? Give me some meds to make me what.. less stressed? I'm hard on myself when it comes to this type of thing, I feel like I need to get a grip, shape up kinda thing.. learn how to better deal with the stresses instead of letting them consume me like this. I don't know, or maybe I just have some hate for going to the doctors - I rarely, if ever go. (Which is strange, since I'm in Canada and it's not like it costs me anything) But if I feel like he can't help me.. I hate the thought of going. Either way though, I'm feeling better today. Some stress has seemed to lift a bit (though nothing has changed, I just feel a little better), I worked overtime tonight, managed to get 16 apps completed all day - which is pretty damn good I'd say. I went for a walk tonight after I had dinner, which was way yummy (still eating those damn wraps all the time) and then finished up dishes and now I'm here doing a quick update of my food and such before I either go to bed early (again, since there's more overtime tomorrow) or decide to watch TV or read my book I bought last night when I went out with Mishy.

I should also mention that my earlier plan of trying to get out more and such has been happening, slowly by surely. I've been out I think three times in the past three weeks with Mishy, went to the cottage this past weekend - and this coming one I'm going up to Oma and Opas for Fathers day. I'm counting Overtime as 'doing' something since it takes up an extra 2hrs each day I do it. (I so need that extra $$) And I went for a walk tonight with my mom, so I am trying to do stuff... I do need to try harder though, get more done, really push myself I guess. Either way, I really just wanted to say hi to everyone tonight, and to say thanks for 'worrying' cause it means uyou care. ~huggles to those who want em~

Oh, and just FYI, I've stepped on that damn thing twice more today!! No more! It's being shut in the closet the next trip I take to my bedroom... I don't know what voodoo has been placed on it, but I refuse to be sucked into watching that yoyo weight every day.

Out!

Chest pains...

So, I had a great weekend, full of laughter, joking, talking.. freezing cold weather!!! Good friends, and a little drinking. Heh. It really was a good weekend - until last night. I'm not sure if being frozen all weekend did it, or maybe I pulled something.. or maybe, just maybe the stress has finally caught up with me but last night I went to bed at 9pm. (Early, yes I know - but I didn't get any sleep the night before) But then, around 11pm I was woken up in pain.. now, for those of you who don't know, awhile back (about 3yrs ago) I worked at a vet clinic, and it became very stressful for many reasons (none of them had to do with the actual job itself) and I began this strange cycle. Every time I'd get stressed, the moment I felt the stress lift the smallest bit, I'd get chest pains. They were so bad I considered going to the hospital each time - it was difficult to breathe, to move, do much of anything until finally the pain became so sever that I was sick and eventually after a few hours of this I would pass out from being exhausted. When I woke the actual 'pains' were gone sometimes, or I'd have to go another round of vomitting and crying because it hurt. Either way, the following day was spent trying to recover because I'd be so tired.. and my chest would have that lingering pain in it.. like I had been punched several times. Needless to say, I quit my job after the third experience of this and started at my current job with GP.

Since then, I have managed to avoid these pains, any time I felt them beginning, I somehow managed to dodge and figure some way out of it. It really hasn't been bad at all for the past three years - until last night. I was fine when I went to bed, and then suddenly the pain began - and let me tell you how hard it is not to panic when you know what it is.. and the panic of course would just add to it. I couldn't figure it out though.. I mean, I guess I'm stressed, but honestly I didn't think it was to the degree of chest pains. Not now, after I've been able to keep stuff like this under control. So I took some advil, some pepto and sat up watching TV as I concentrated on breathing for an hour. Just hoping that I would get some results from either medication and somehow I'd beat the pains. Finally at mid-night I was too tired to keep watching TV, and laying on the couch was not a good idea. So I travelled back to bed.. layed down.. and again, concentrated on breathing through it.. trying to beat the pain and not think. It's harder than you think to just stop thinking about all the things that are making you stressed.. really.. Anyway, I fell asleep.. finally and didn't wake up until 5am - and I'm happy to annouce, with no pain lingering. Whew. I avoided the worst of it - and I cannot tell you how happy I am. I'd be lying if all morning I haven't been trying to pick up on the smallest hint of this coming back tonight - the thought of staying home has been considered - maybe a day of relaxing will help me avoid this? I really hope I do not get to work only to find myself in an even more stressful situation. Anyway, I'm going to take a few deep breaths and just try to relax today and get through it without too much trouble. Clearly, my body is telling me enough is enough, and perhaps it's time to deal with a few things instead of allowing them to just... grow into chest pains. Heh.

12:15pm Update:
So, today has been... stupid, so far. I don't really want to get into it, because it's just so much to write, but seriously, there isn't a section in my life that right now, isn't frustrating or causing stress. Unless of course, you count the ImpCafe as a section of my life, cause I got Cream of Broc Soup from there today, and it's fantastic. Anyway, I allowed myself to step on the scale this morning, and I think there was about a 2 - 3 pound loss from last week Monday. So that's good considering this weekend was HORRIBLE for pnts. It's not like I get excited when I see a 1 - 2 pound loss, and I know I should, but I think cause I have sooooo much to loose, it's not until I hit 10lbs gone or whatever that I'm like yay! Progress! Heh. ~Shrugs~ So.. hopefully in the next few weeks I'll be 10lbs lighter.. it's not sad though, not like I gained - which is always good. Even maintaining is good with me. Heh.

I thought there was something else I wanted to write about.. but now I seem to have forgotten.. hrm. Oh well, how is everyone doing? How was your weekends?? I should prolly write a bit more about mine, but right now, I'm not in the mood to write pages ontop of pages. Anyway, talk to you all later. I'm going to update my Condo page, because I emailed Catherine, again. So check it out if you're keeping up with the lack of all progress. ~rolls eyes~

(I've removed a chunk of Flex pnts b/c I'm not sure how many were used over the weekend - and there's no reason I need 35 this week anyway, so I'm only going to allow myself the extra 17 pnts, and really, I shouldn't even need those.)

Cottage Life, here I come!

I'm off to Laura's cottage today, w00t w00t! I'm not packed or anything yet, I actually just now rolled my ass outta bed - but to be honest, I've been awake since 7:24am this morning. Just to update, I haven't stepped on the scale yet - told myself I could do it on Monday, and not before. There's just no reason to do it all the time - shit isn't going to be accurate then, and I'll get confused I think. Since it's 9am however, I'm hungry at the moment. Wow, when I signed on here, I thought I had more to say, but I guess I don't, heh. I'm off to have my shower, make some breakfast and then pack. Mishy should be calling me around 1ish so we can go meet at Laura's place (where I'm parking and leaving my car) and then we'll be on our way. Anyway, I'm out everyone - behave, have a good weekend, and relax cause freakin Monday is just around the corner!

What's happening?

I'm not quite sure what's going on lately, but it seems that for some reason, stress is coming at me from every angle. Now, here's my theory - maybe, the universe is doing this to prepare me for when I move out in September? Ya think? It's bogging me down with it now so that come move-out time I'll be able to handle nearly anything? Dunno, but it's a theory.

It's Friday, and to all of you who feel the way I do in this moment and wish that instead of stepping into the shower and starting my day I could crawl back between the covers and hide from the world.... I feel for you, I do. Today is not a day I'm looking forward to, and all I can hope is that it's over as quickly as possible.

Good news though, I'm headed to Laura's cottage on Saturday - Sunday for a little social gathering. Laura, Mishy and Shelby are all going to be there. It will be our first gathering that isn't for just a dinner or something, ya know what I mean? Should be fun, I'm definately looking forward to it. I was talking to Mishy last night, about how it's SO out of our normal zone of things to do. I wont speak for Mish right now, but for me, if you haven't seen me mention it before.. I'm pretty anti-social. My weekends are generally spent alone, cleaning and then relaxing inside my house. I rarely go outside - unless there's something that needs to be done. (Lame, I know.) I also spend much time avoiding too much conversation on my free time, I like my space (part of why I'm excited to move out on my own) and often need some breathing room to just... do whatever the Hell it is I like to do on that day. Anyway, I need to get going, need to get ready for work and such - bleh. Hope you are all having a good day - anyone have any ideas for what I can have for dinner tonight? I'm still flat outta ideas - unless I do that Quesedillia thing again..... hrm.

7:30am Update:
I know this isn't really an update, but I just wanted to make a comment about the scale I have upstairs. I wasn't weighing myself at the beginning of all this, because I wanted to just watch my size drop and not worry about the pounds. But then, now that I'm a few months in, I didn't want to like.. hit a wall of not loosing weight when I would need to drop my pnts lower to continue because I had moved into a lower pnt bracket (know what I mean?) So a friend at work had a scale she wasn't using and said I could have it. Wicked b/c I didn't have one, and would have had to pay for a new one - the one she gave me is prolly better quality than I would have bought myself which is cool. Anyway, my pnt is, I have this never ending urge every time I'm in my room to step on it!! It's exactly what I didn't want to happen because I didn't want to get upset if my weight every went up a little or something, or if I wasn't loosing as fast as I wanted (you know?). So now I've resorted to stuffing it under a bunch of stuff in my closet and try not to look at it.. which doesn't work.. and every day I see it I have to tell myself I'll do it on such and such a day, not today, just to keep myself from using it constantly. Is there a name for this?! What's my problem.. do I want to be disappointed!? No. So what do I think is going to happen by stepping on that scale every day???! Stupid thing! Curses! Heh. Seriously though, does this happen to anyone else?

12:35pm Update:
Only have about five minutes to write a quick update on here. Just wanted to comment further on the scale thing: The reason I didn't weigh myself at the beginning of my journey of weight loss was because I've done that before. I've tried keeping track of things that way, and I didn't want to upset myself with the lack of progress pound wise and such (not that it always does or anything) and then fall off the wagon. In the past, clearly, things have not worked for me. So this time I decided to try doing things in a different way, my way. I'm more concerned with how I feel and look than what the scale is telling me - so therefore I decided to focus on the sizes of clothing I wear, and gauge my losses there. Seriously though, like mentioned in my comment section by my lovely readers - why am I obsessed with this urge to step on that damn thing every day? Sometimes more than once a day?!! Yuck. Anyway, I need to get back to work, hope everyone is enjoying the rainy day.

Arrrrgggg... I'm working overtime today, 8am to 8pm. I'm honestly not sure I can pull it off - too tired. I only got about 5hrs of sleep last night. We'll see if I can make it though... doesn't look good since right about now, I'm ready to crawl back into bed and say fuck it.

Where the Hell are my ruby red slippers.....?!

There's no place like home, There's no place like home...
Incase you haven't noticed, I'd really like to be at home, hidding away in my basement right now instead of getting ready for work and being there all day. I just don't know if I can handle all the 'whatever' that goes on there today.. emotionally I feel drained, physically, although I got lots of sleep last night (I assume that's because of my lack of it for the two previous nights of tossing and turning) I still feel tired and ready for bed. A friend invited me and a couple other friends up to her cottage this weekend.. and you know what? I think I'm going. Piss on my anti-social ways and whatever.. I should go, have some fun, be away from my life for at least a day. I owe myself that much. Mishy and I are going out tonight for dinner and then looking for some furniture. I'm not buying anything (at least it's not in the plan) but I wanted to start looking just incase I find something perfect and priced low - you know what I mean? It's summer, there are all kinds of sales going on. Anyway, I need to get going, do my hair and such. Have a good day all.

I hate shoe shopping!

I have no idea what makes me hate shoe shopping so much - prolly cause I can never find good shoes that I love that fit. It's such a freakin pain in my ass to go shopping for shoes that I put it off as long as possible every time. I'm a running shoe girl, all the freakin way. They are way easier to find then heels or any type of dress shoe. Forget even looking for shoes to wear for work that are comfy.. pain in my ass. Now, I have to find time to go shopping for heels for Lori's wedding this August. I need them soon, because I need to go have the fitting for my dress - and without them, they wont let you come for the appointment - for obvious reasons. I had already been looking when I happened to pass a shoe store, and haven't found anything. But now, the real hunt begins. So, we'll see how this goes.. if not this week since it seems pretty booked up for me, I'll be shopping for them next week. Have I mentioned I'm not the dress up/wedding type of girl yet? .........

Anyway, it's Tuesday - no happier about that then I was about Monday. I'm tired this morning, woke up at least five times last night, having a hard time sleeping lately. Not speaking to Matt or Dan right now - though I'd rather not talk about either on here at the moment - just thought I'd share the core reason for my blah moods. I couldn't come up with anything to write yesterday that didn't involve a lot of negative, so I wrote nothing. Clearly, today, I've thrown that whole guideline out the window. Heh.

Nothing else is new really. Hopefully I'll be working some overtime this week, bringing in some extra cash for me. I'm going to try making a Quesadilla thing for dinner tonight, switch it up, I mean if I have the motivation when I get home I will be... otherwise, it will prolly be like a grilled cheese.. which I haven't had in awhile anyway.. so.. ~shrugs~ Alright, I'm going to get ready for the day now, hope you are all having a good day. Sorry for ditching you last night Suz, I just couldn't bring myself to sit here.. I suck, I know. Maybe we could try for tonight instead?

A Sunday to clean...

Title says it all, plan for today is to clean. I haven't cleaned the house in god knows when.. it's just been busy every weekend, so I haven't gotten around to it. The livingroom here seriously needs to be dusted and vaccumed. Not that I have any motivation to do these things.. but we'll see. It's pretty early still (9am) so I'm thinking I'll lay around a lil bit since I just got up.. and then slowly clean during the day. I'd like to be done by no later than 4pm though.. cause my parents will be comin back from 'Up Home' and the last thing I wanna do is clean while people are in my way. Otherwise, here's hoping today is a good day.

3:50pm Update:
Reading my new book in the Anita Blake Series "Micah" and came across this quote:

"And the moment you care that much, a man has you. He owns a little piece of your soul, and he can beat you to death with it. Don't believe me? Then you've never been in love and had it go to hell. Lucky you."

How fucking true..... heh, I knew there was a reason I read Laurell K. Hamilton... well that.. and all the sex. ~winks~

Out!

Food List:

Turkey in Tomato Sauce - 10pnts.
WW Bread (2) - 1pnt.
Butter - 1pnt.

12 / 28 pnts used.
0 / 0 activity pnts used.
0 Flex pnts left.
(I know I said I have 19 pnts left, but I was thinking about a small chocolate bar I forgot to count on Thursday I think it was... and those mini eggs I got carried away with.. and thought.. to Hell with it. You have no Flex pnts left. So, although I'm pretty sure I have a fair amount left, my pnts reset tomorrow and I'm just going to stay OP today. So no Flex left.)

An entire day, mostly.

The day was great today with Mishy, we drove to see 'Thank you for Smoking' which was a great movie, made me laugh. There were only six of us there for the show - which fits my anti-social behaviour just fine. ~winks~ Mishy and I were really the only two who found it laugh-out-loud funny... but the couple behind us were pissy to begin with cause the idiots at the theatre apparently can't tell time and started the movie like half an hour late. Anyway, it was a good movie, I have nothing negative to say about it actually. If you can't see it in the theatre, then I'd rent it. Mishy will prolly do an actual review of the movie on her site - she's into that kinda thing.. I'm not so good at it. Obviously. While there, we were totally standing in line waiting so Mishy could purchase herself a drink and some dude walked around us and then moved infront of us in line! As if it wasn't obvious we were standing RIGHT there waiting... just about died laughing.. I mean.. common! Had to excuse ourselves from the "line" to laugh before returning back into the line of two.. jerk. Heh.

Then we drove back to town, went to Swiss for dinner which was PACKED. But, as always, their lines move pretty fast.. it was only about a ten minute wait.. and considering they were lined up to the door that's not bad at all. Food is cheap and yummy there so we both enjoyed a Potpie before heading over to Best Buy. Searching the isles for canned air.. (or cans of air, if the other term is too confusing to some people.. ) and after a small situation with a horn gave up and found some guys at the laptop desk area to ask them where the HELL they stocked the stuff. Well, apparently, they have to keep the canned air behind the counter because teenagers come into the store and I kid you not.. SNORT canned air. Um... excuse me? Are ya kiddin me? Wouldn't that shit like.. give you a bloody nose or something? Seriously, I can't believe this experience would be a pleasant one.. somehow it gets them high? Dunno. I just looked at the sales guy like he was the one snorting the stuff and chuckled before walking off with my can of... air....

After browsing through BB we headed over to Pier 1 and Chapters. Wandered through there, picked up some books and had the Vanilla bean something rather which was yummy and I'm sure is helping me continue to type out this long ass entry when really, I should be too lazy to do anything else. We laughed lots, and I had a great time. Sad thing is, I'm outta ideas of what to do now. We've literally done EVERYTHING I can think of during our one outting - so now if we're going to do more next week, I'm going to have to come up with some new shit. Thanks for gettin me outta the house Mishy! You totally rock chicka!

Sarah.. it's too bad you don't live closer, cause then you totally could have come out with Mishy and me today to enjoy our little outting and such. I'm sure another mind in the mix to come up with things to do would be greatly appreciated.

Anyway, hope you are all having a good night, see ya. (w00t w00t for stayin on pnts.)

Planning is key.

So, I've decided I need a life. I need to do things to keep my mind busy, or something. I don't know, I'm being vague, I know. But here's the deal - when I'm at home, I hide away in my basement alone.. playing video games, playing on here, watching TV, feeding fish, whatever. Point is, I don't go out often... I'm a lil anti-social. So, I've decided it's time that changed. So, for the first time in awhile I actually have plans to go out on a Saturday. (I normally never go anywhere on a weekend that involves the public, only because it's busy as Hell) Mishy and I have plans to meet up and go see a movie: 'Thank you for smoking'. It's a comedy, and here's hoping it makes us laugh - cause I think we could both use it. We're even going to a theatre that I normally wouldn't visit - since there's one five minutes from my house - but it's not playing that movie. Stupid Silvercity. Then we're going out for a late lunch / early dinner and maybe stopping by like.. Chapters or something. Should be a fun day, she always makes me laugh so I'm looking forward to it.

Not much else is new, my sister is still ignoring me, or just avoiding by staying out, whichever. It's quiet at least, that's something. It's too bad that we end up fighting over such stupid things.. though in reality, the actual thing at the moment that we're fighting over is stupid - but the reasons behind it are a long old arguement between us... which she doesn't seem to get. Enough about that, don't wanna talk about it.

Work is busy as Hell, I have no idea how we're supposed to get caught up. Even with a shit load of overtime, I'm not so sure it's possible. Although, I'm willing to work the overtime for the pure fact that I can earn some more money.. and short of getting myself a second job, this is the only way of finding a second income amount. Every little bit of money helps.. and if it keeps me from having to kill myself working 24/7 I'm totally there. (Not like I have a life anyway. ~winks~) Besides, with the condo stuff coming up I really could use extra cash in my accounts. I'm so nervous that I'm not going to be able to make ends meet that my brain has completely shut down on the idea and refuses to even think of it at all. There's also some changes happening at work that my Boss knows about, is hinting about, is obviously stressed about but is keeping the details secret from us, saying she can't tell us yet. I hate that, either tell us or hide it completely please, because half knowing and seeing her flip out just puts us all on edge.. you know? Just makes the day so much more stressful... and you just know when we find out, it'll be no big deal and we all spent this time wondering and worrying for nothing. Bleh.

Also put a quick update on my Condo Journey Blog... though, it's more of a rant than an update.. Twit seriously irritates the Hell outta me.

Anyway, I think I'm going to get ready, make myself some breakfast and then head out around 1ish. So all you lovely people have a great day - Hi Sarah! - and behave yourselves, ok!?

Out!

Crustini-licious...

"Crustini in the morning, Crustini in the evening, Crustini at supper time..."

Ok, maybe it's not that bad... but it feels like I eat them all the time (even though this is the first time this week). So far I have stopped myself from eating anything from the ImpCafe. I might treat myself later to a biscotti again. I managed to stay OP yesterday, whew. I'm supposed to be going out tomorrow though with Mishy, so that might not happen tomorrow - so it's a little important that I do it today to save those few Flex pnts I had left. Not much to write today, I'm not in a writing mood really, went out with Lori last night... enjoyed a Tims tea and such. Think I'm just going to get up and go out for a walk at the moment though, since it's lunch and it's not raining. Hope you are all enjoying your Friday.. and if you aren't around for the weekend, have a good one!

ImpCafe Specials:
Cheese Canaloni in a tomato sauce, Beef stirfry.
Beef and Veggie soup, and a bean soup.

The darkforce is real...?!?


I saw a commercial for Starwars last night, and as I sat there watching it.. I suddenly realized.. if the Darkforce was real, my sister would be exactly like Darth the moment before he fell off the path of becoming a Jedi!! Anyway, I have to go to work now.. yay. Bleh.

12:30pm Update:
So, my eating has gone down hill very quickly, not sure what my freakin problem is.. but I'm hungry like.. crazy hungry during every meal time. I think my emotions have completely thrown my eating off course and I don't even realize that. Either that, or something else is going on and I've not yet realized it. I'm stressed.. about so many things it's crazy. Plus, that stupid ImpCafe downstairs is luring like you wouldn't believe!!! Every day we visit it during our first break, to see what they are serving for the day. And since I was out of ideas for lunches (Crustini's are getting old..) I've resorted to buying lunch at that damn ImpCafe! Don't get me wrong, the food is so good there.. but I don't have the pnts or the $$ for this every day. I'm going to have to get a handle on it next week. Only allow myself to go there like... maybe twice all week or something.

Last night I killed my Flex pnts when I got angry and ate and ate... I craved chocolate like you wouldn't believe... and so I ate mini eggs that Dan brought me when we met. I love those things, they are my favorite.. (hence why he brought them for me..) Anyway, I'm going to get going.. at least I feel really full now.. bleh. Hopefully I'll be full tonight when I get home too and not eat too much.. though... now that I've mentioned those Mini eggs.. I'm thinking about how good they taste....

ImpCafe is serving today:
Sheperds Pie, Salad, Chicken Soup, Beef Patti, BLT sandwiches and of course their usual goodies like.. homemade rice pudding (which I bought for my Dad yesterday) jello, veggies and dip, Egg salad, tuna, cookies, muffins, etc etc... See what I'm up against?!
