Morning everyone, so I did it, I stepped on the scale. It's reading that I've lost about.. 3 - 4 lbs since my last time stepping on it. My last reading was a bit difficult to tell, so I'm going to just go with todays and move froward from there. I was hoping for about.. 3lbs more than this, but that's alright. I'll give it another month, see where I'm at and then decide if I should drop my pnts. I mean, I'm still loosing - just maybe not as quickly as I'd like.
7:55pm Update:
Whew, I'm just now sitting down for dinner. The second I got in the door this evening I ran around, got myself into my swimsuit and pulled clothes on overtop before heading out to do my 19min walk. I found a new route with an incline that I think I'll do this week - it's more of a workout, though I could do without the blasting heat and sweltering humidity. Then I went directly to my neighbours and swam for 30 minutes before heading home, popping the pizza into the oven and did up the dishes from yesterday and today. I'm tired. ~laughs~ Anyway, hope you all had a great day, and be ready for tomorrow - it's supposed to be even hotter!!
Out!

No touchy da Flex Pnts!
I've almost made it an entire week without using even one Flex pnt and I can't tell you how proud of myself I am! Yay me. So I just have to make it through today without using any and I'll be fine. Hopefully it will be easy, fingers crossed. I'm a bit nervous about stepping on the scale tomorrow, I want to see results, and if I don't see them.. I guess I just don't want to be disappointed, ya know?
5:10pm Update:
So.... not sure what to have for dinner. I was thinking chicken fingers, but I just had that last night.. I guess I'll think about it. Maybe I'll mix up a salad and have chicken fingers with that. Honestly, it's hard to come up with meals every day! I alway start thinking about what I'm going to have early in the day, hoping to come up with something as the day goes on. But it's just difficult. I guess I have to spend more time cooking, which is prolly the problem. Often times I want something quick, no more than half an hour to make. But I still want it to taste good, and idealy have some veggies or something involved. I guess I'll just wait and see what I come up with.
Today as been pretty quiet. I went for a 35 minute walk this morning, taking a route I haven't taken yet. Some of it was up hill, and that definately made a difference in the type of walk it was. It was good, and then I cleaned up a bit at home here this afternoon. The downstairs needed it, badly. Laundry is done, and now I'm just trying to figure out dinner. I would have gone swimming, except today the temp outside seemed cooler than it has been the past few days, and the clouds keep rolling in - but no rain yet. So I decided not to bother today, maybe Monday or something. I think I have dinner out this week? Tuesday or Thursday or something like that.. I can't remember the day we planned, I should prolly confirm that.

Just another Saturday.
So, I slept in this morning!!! Finally! I woke up several times during the night - which seems to be the norm for me now - but today when I woke up around 7am and laid back down in bed, I actually fell asleep until 9am! I couldn't believe it.. so exciting for me. Now it's 10:30am and I've done nothing but sit around and watch TV. ~laughs~ So, I'm going to start moving now, tidy up, have some breakfast and maybe go for a swim.
Nothing new to report on the weight loss front really, I managed to get my walk in last night with Mishy between the movies we rented (Shaun of the Dead and Seducing Dr.Lewis) so we could get up and stretch our legs and take a small break. Both movies were funny, and worth renting, btw. I plan on stepping on the scale on Monday morning, I said I'd check my weight at the end of each month - just to make sure that I'm still loosing - and honestly, not always checking the damn number takes some stress off me.. and in the past few days, I've been feeling a bit better about where I am, and where I still have to go. I want to enjoy each stage along the way, every day I look a tiny bit better - feel a little bit lighter, and I want to focus on that, and not what the scale shouts at me and then have my mind twist it into something negative, when every little bit adds up, and will make a difference.
Ok, I need to get my butt moving here, everyone enjoy your Saturdays and make sure you put on lots of sunscreen if you're outside and drink lots because it's supposed to be 41 with the humidity!!
9:10pm Update:
Today has ended up being a pretty lazy day. I went swimming for about 15 minutes, before the rain clouds rolled in and I headed home before I got caught in the thunder storm. We had about three of them today, all of which lasted about 20min each. It's strange weather I tell ya. I also managed to get my 16 minutes of walking in.. and that's about it. I've finished up some paper work, and organization. Some cleaning, and cooking up my meals for the day. Otherwise, nada else was completed. I did manage to make my first posts on Crystal's WW Forum, I've been meaning to do that for a few days now.. so that's good. Anyway, I guess that's all I have to say for now. Time for me to return to doing.. nothing.. heh.

Sweet, wonderful, Friday.
It's Friday people, yay!!! I'm so glad it's the weekend - can't even tell ya. So this morning I woke up and my ass hurts! Like, muscle pulled kinda hurts.. like I did some amazing workout that really worked those muscles... and yet.. for three days the only thing I've done is walking? Is it possible that somehow, suddenly, my walking is working my butt muscles?? The only other thing which would make more sense if it wasn't three days ago would be the swimming - THAT would work those muscles, but the "pain" doesn't kick in for three days? That's a long time to wait, isn't it? ~Shrugs~ Anyway, I don't mind the "pain" all that much because it means I've been working muscles and of course, that's what I want to do with all the exercise I've been trying to do, so it's kinda like a sign of success - plus it doesn't hurt too much, so I can bare it.
So yesterday Lori and I went to the Mall to find a navy blue dress shirt for her for this weekend, and we had no luck! I'm not sure how long we were there an hour or two maybe? It was actually the first time I've been at the Mall when it has closed! We were like, well damn, no shirt. So, I think she's going to run out after work and try to find one. Anyway, that was where I got my 16 minutes of walking in last night - my legs were begging me to sit down once I got home. I really, really need new shoes. Both pairs I own kill my feet for some reason, I need a pair of good, walking shoes. I just don't really have money for them, you know? Ok, I'm talking too much and need to get ready for work! Have a great day all and enjoy your Friday.

Iron Chef America
Ok people, do any of you watch the Food channels?? I am in love with Iron Chef and Iron Chef America - Everytime I see it on, I HAVE to watch it - some of the food they create is just so... crazy! The ideas I get for meals, and it's just so interesting to see them working on those dishes in the hour show - truly, it's amazing what types of food they come up with. You'd think that watching the show would make me hungry, but mostly it makes me want to cook something better, to make better food and be more creative in my ideas. Anyway, just thought I'd share that with you.
So, Phil got kicked off last night, and I couldn't be happier about it!! Zayra is here for another week and I love that, because I like her style, and hated being forced to endure horrible performance after performance of Phils. So last night was like me jumping from the couch cheering. Next can be Josh, or Patrice really, either can go home.
I managed to force myself to do my 16 minutes of walking last night when I got home, I went right away because it looked like it was going to rain - and the only thing worse than walking, would be walking and getting soaked at the same time. Heh. So, I haven't missed a day yet in 17 days - yay me. Tonight might be harder because I'm going out with Lori right after work to celebrate her Bday - but we'll see if I find time. Anyway, time to start work - have a good day everyone.

Wednesday, half way through the week.
I am so sleepy at the moment, seirously. I feel like I'm dragging my ass around, even though I've been laying in bed tossing and turning since 4:30am - for no reason! I still couldn't sleep properly and wasted all those hours of good possible sleep slipping between awake and napping. Argh. It's so frustrating.
Nothing new, RockStar was fantastic last night. Dalana did excellent singing 'Time after Time' and I love that song, and I love her!! Ryan did ok too, which is unusual. Lucas did fine, I still think he need to stop mummbling so much. Young chick really is doing MUCH better. That said: Patrice, Phil and John or whatever his name is - GO HOME. You all suck and need to be gone from the show - ASAP. Zayra or however you spell her name, although she's on my good list, did poorly last night - even for her style of music. So she'll prolly be in the bottom three. Anyway, I love this show, I love the music, it's a must see if you like Rock.
This morning I'm going for my dress fitting for Lori's wedding, and hopefully they don't take longer than a half hour because I need to be at work around 10am. I'm working the later shift to make up some time - although, I'm not sure why since we're literally fighting over applications. Oh well, guess I should get going. No idea what to have for breakfast this morning.. hrm....
1:00pm Update:
You know what? I just had the same Crustini I've had a million times over (or what feels like I have had that many times) and it tasted SO good. Which is strange, because I only usually kinda like it - but it was VERY good today.. mmm. I have a banana and crunchers left to snack on during the day and then I'm not sure what I'm having for dinner tonight. Can I just tell you that the burgers I've been having from time to time are the best tasting burgers I've had in a looooooooong while?!? They are PC and are made up of beef/pork and onions. I highly recommend them, though you need a lot of pnts since each patty is 8pnts, and then a WW bun is 2 plus any fatty toppings you put on. I love ketchup, mayo, pickles, relish and lettuce on mine. If I was going ALL out and had a ton of pnts to use up I might put cheese and bacon, but I can do without. What do you all put on your burgers?? Mmmm.. BBQ food rocks. I'm going to miss it so much in my condo b/c we aren't allowed to have BBQ's. I'll have to go home to have the treat. ~laughs~
Anyway, I'm not going for walks today at work, again, because it's humid out there and I can't stand it! Not to mention, it looks like it might pour at any moment. Apparently we're supposed to have rain for the rest of the week. Lovely. Will make my walking challenge that much more difficult. I've swam for 3 days in a row now, I think I'm taking a few days break now to make sure I don't over do it.
The dress fitting went well, I have a follow up fitting on the 10th and the wedding is on the 20th, so that's alright. I'm glad the wedding is finally here, soon it will be over and I can stop worrying about it and cross something off the always growing list. Tomorrow Lori and I are going out for her Bday dinner, not sure where she wants to go yet - but I'll leave it up to her. Work is alright today, but only because I left early yesterday, so I had some work left over from yesterday to do - I'm getting to the bottom of the pile now and there's still 5 hours to go - lovely. Ok, I'm gunna go, take care all.

Rocky Start.
It's been a rough start this morning. Lack of sleep again last night, so I'm dragging my ass. My Mom and I got into an arguement over dinner - it was lame, and silly, but I'm just so irritated with everything. I'm not sure what's all wrong anymore - If it's just being tired, or stressed, having so much on my mind but I have no tolerance at all. I'm quicker to anger than even my norm and I just seem to get frustrated with the smallest thing. Even exercising is starting to turn into a chore - I'm forcing myself to do it because I have to, the only thing I really want to do is lay down in bed and sleep - which I can't do anyway. Argh. Ok, here's hoping my day improves as it goes on - and I have my blood tests this afternoon, thank God. In a way I hope they find something to explain this and then fix it - and on the other hand, I hope nothing is wrong and it just gets better on its own (sooner rather than later).
12:00pm Update:
So, it's lunch at work and I'm not going to a walk because it's far too humid out to think about it. I don't want to go outside, the thought of being all sweaty and gross and then coming back upstairs to sit at my desk is enough to keep me in the cool air conditioning. So, that means very few exercise pnts for me. I might go swimming tonight, but that all depends on if I can talk myself into it. I need to go for my 16 minute walk some time today - but again, the humidity keeps me from being motivated for even that. We'll see what I can muster from myself as the day goes on. At 2:30pm I'm leaving to drive home to go to the clinic and have blood work done. They are also doing an EKG or whatever, to check my heart, and I'm hoping they do it there as well and I don't have to make an appointment for somewhere else. He just wanted to make sure everything was ok because of my chest pains.
Work is slow, again, today. For the past two working days I've spent about 1 - 2 hrs each day sitting here, doing nothing, because we've run out of work - it's crazy. I guess me leaving is a good thing in the long run, eh? Anyway, I need to get going here - take care all.
8:40pm Update:
....... ~sighs~ Exercise was definately forced today, and I'm tired. I did 30 minutes of swimming, and completed my 16 Min walk.. which was difficult, since I had no motivation to do either thing and ended up just throwing myself out the door to get both done. At least tonight when I went walking with my Mom the heat had let up a bit - whew. Anyway, don't forget to watch RockStar: Super Nova tonight!! w00t w00t! Blood taking went fine, FYI, now I just wait to see if the doctor calls.. hopefully not, 'no news is good news' as he put it.

Changing something, anything.
I read somewhere, can't remember where exactly at the moment that it's important to change things in your eating and exercising to keep weight loss continuing and so this week, I've decided to change up my eating since every week I increase my walking Challenge, and now I've kinda/sorta added in swimming into the routine. So, for this week I'm going to eat something before I leave for work which will kick start my system earlier in the day then I'm use to. Of course, this will throw off my entire day of eating - so I'll just have to play it by ear and see what the results are by the end of the day - hopefully I wont be starving all day and screw up my pnts.
Normally, I'd weigh myself today to see where I'm at - but I've decided not to bother. The scale bothers me because I don't see the size of the losses I want to see every time and then it just eats away at me for the rest of the week. Plus, the amounts I want to see falling off take a couple weeks to do, so I will be weighing myself only at the end of every month to make sure I'm still loosing and everything is fine.
This week I need to go get my blood tests and such done to make sure everything is fine, I think I screwed myself last night with drinking a big cup of tea before bed - though, caffine never use to affect me - maybe now it is? Either way, I'm going to try and stop doing that and see if it helps with my sleep pattern. Although, I doubt one cup of tea can screw up 9 hours of sleeping - but we'll see. On Wednesday I have my dress fitting for Lori's wedding - they'll have to take the dress in a lot since they kinda ordered the top WAY too large and then the rest is because of my loss since I ordered it back in Jan or Feb.. somewhere around there. Anyhow, I need to go, get ready for work and have my early breakfast. Talk to you all later and enjoy your Monday (yuk). Oh, one last thing! I'm on week #3 of the Challenge Walk thingy and haven't missed a day yet!
7:50pm Update:
Ok, I've done the 16 minutes of walking, and 40 minutes of swimming - I'm done for the night. Hopefully I'll sleep better than I did last night, because that sucked. At the moment I don't really have much to say, all in all I got about 60 - 70 minutes of walking today and the 40 minutes of swimming, not bad if I do say so myself. AND I'm OP. So, things are fine for a Monday morning. Oh, and eating earlier seems to have gone off without a hitch, I wasn't starving the entire day - which I expected to be - so we'll contiune with this plan of change for the week and maybe the following one also. Anyway, I'm going to go get a glass of water, and watch some TV - Have a good night everyone.

Whew! I think I stayed OP!
Ok, so yesterdays count for food was kinda up in the air - I thought about it all night, calculating the pnts in my head for the food I ate when we went to Eastside Marios and I think I found fair numbers. Tuscan Turkey Sandwich for 14 pnts, but I didn't finish it, so I knocked 2pnts off. The Fries I only ate about half, or so, and normally I'd count fries for like 9pnts or 12pnts. Which should have meant I'd only have eaten max 6pnts. BUT, I wasn't sure, and then I wasn't sure about the Tuscan Turkey either - so I just made it a bit higher and put it at 8pnts. I had a bit of cesar salad - not like an entire serving, so I only counted that as 4pnts. And like a small taste of the big funnel cake the four of us shared. Over all, I think I was pretty fair for pnt counting... or not? Dunno, whatever. I'm saying I stayed OP. I avoided eating anything else for the evening except a few pickles and so it's all good.
The trip to see the condo went well yesterday, I'll try to get some photos of the model suite up today or tomorrow or something, it looked so pretty. I can't wait to see my stuff all come together! I'm so excited about my nice carpeting and hardwood flooring. My place should be pretty cute. I'll try to put some update stuff onto the Condo section of my Blog instead of here. So I'll let you know when that happens.
Didn't get much exercise in yesterday, I was lazy and plus, we spent most of the day driving and sitting. So today, I just might force myself to walk to my neighbours and swim. We'll see. I did however get my 13 minutes of walking in with Mishy when she got here around noon. We just did it quick before we got into the car to start our trip. Thanks for coming Mish, I had fun and it was nice to share it with someone besides family. So now at dinners you can tell the girls that the condo IS real. Unlike my invisable sister you've never met. ~winks~ OK, well, I'm going to go do something.. maybe some writing in my journal.. dunno yet. So, be good all - and it looks like it's going to be a sunny day - don't forget your sunscreen!
11:05am Update:
So, I've updates the info for the condo on my Journey to my Condo Blog - so go there to see some pictures and stuff, I'm so excited!!
1:30pm Update:
I did it! I forced myself to go swimming - 60 minutes done! Which also means that #16 on my 101 Things in 1001 Days is complete!! I've gone swimming!! So, I'll be checking that off my list. Several other things on the list are kinda sorta in the works - so eventually they will be marked off the list also. Once they're complete, that is. I've just gotten out of the shower and now I'm going to force myself to go out for my 13 minute walk and get that over with because after 60 minutes of swimming I'm feeling kinda sleepy.. so, need to get it done before I go and lay down watching TV or something and forget to move for the rest of the day. ~laughs~ Plus, I need to make myself some lunch - not idea what to have, but I'm sure I'll figure something out. Anyway, talky later!

Gunna Check out the Model Suite.
Morning everyone. I'm headed out to see the model suite for my condo today, here's hoping it has at least some of the upgrades I've picked so I can get an idea of what my place will look like. Mishy is comin along, and my parents. Should prove for an interesting drive. It's all good though, we have plenty to talk about - Mishy's very possible trip to New York, my condo and what's all left to buy (SO much). I have dishes, laundry and need a shower this morning. Do I feel like doing ANY of the above? Not really. Ah well.
Yesterday was a pretty good day, I got my 13 minutes of walking in when I got home from work - took my neighbours dog with me - why not. At lunch Laura and I did our walk we had done earlier in the week and shaved off ten minutes. My appointment with my doctor went fine, he saw no reason not to give me the birth control shot and so he gave it to me again. He is however sending me for blood tests and a couple other things just to make sure everything is fine. He said he doubts he'll find anything, but might as well check because it's been a few years for me. He also said even the weight loss could be the cause of me being so tired, because I've lost about 40 - 50lbs since I started, my body could still be trying to adjust to that change. Hopefully that's all it is and soon my body will catch up and I'll be fine. Fingers crossed.
Anyway, I've stuff to do.. so, I'll talk to you all later - enjoy your weekend everyone!

Dorkish.
This is how I feel this morning, thinking about what I'm going to say to the Doctor. Honestly, I feel like I'm bothering him with problems he can't fix... I don't feel well, I'm stressed, tired.. I don't know what to say to him to not sound like an idiot. I feel like he's going to sit there, staring at me and all the while think "What the Hell does she want me to do about it?!" and then smile and say something that doesn't help but I'll have to nod and smile back and I'll be exactly where I am now. It's kinda like when you go to the doctor with a cold virus and tell him you don't feel well - he goes, yeah, you've got a virus, keep doing what you're doing, drink lots and get some rest. It doesn't help, it's true though, but it doesn't kill that damn virus. I refuse to go on any kinda meds - so even if he suggests it, I'm going to decline. Come to think of it, I'm not sure why I'm even bothering to go to the doctor.. bleh.
Anyway, nothing new, same old from last night. New day, new challenge, more food. Apparently it's already humid and sticky outside - yuk - I was really hoping the rain would kill that. I thought I heard it was supposed to be nice and cool for the next couple days - apparently not. Boo. It's Friday, so at least it's the weekend - FINALLY. Tomorrow, Mishy, My Mom and Dad and I are going to see the model suite for my condo - I hope it looks good - fingers crossed. I must remember a tape measure. Ok, I'm going to go make some breakfast, get ready and then head out for my appointment, have a great hopefully non-sweating day all!

To dress up, or not to dress up - that is the question.
Here's the deal. When I wear my jeans I feel comfortable. Comfortable enough that I don't mind doing my hair all cute, and putting on some earrings, a nice top, and just generally trying to make myself look as good as I feel I can look. Meanwhile, during the three days that I have to wear dress pants to work, I dress like a slob. I don't want to put any earrings on, I just wear some old tee-shirt and don't care what my hair looks like. Strange, isn't it? I do the bare minimum dressing wise for dress days. Heh. Whatever. Too bad.
Ok, so today's another day, and I need to get that walking in. I'm supposed to go out tonight with Mishy, not sure what time yet, or really what's we're all doing. I do have to try and remember to pick up my injection at the drugstore tonight and then I have to maybe drive to where my doctor has moved because I have NO clue where it is. I hate when I don't know where I'm going and I have an appointment - grr. I'm feeling ify again today, hopefully as the day goes on that will go away and the general sense of being tired will replace it. ~laughs~ Ok, I need to get moving here, pack a lunch, clean myself up. I might wear a new frilly cream top I bought to work today. It's kinda cute, so not usually my style - but I'm giving it a shot. Behave everyone, and have a good day where you all stay OP!
12:30pm Update:
It is SO Humid outside right now, it's disgusting. I can't handle it. I wont be going for a walk during lunch, and maybe not later this afternoon either. It's going to be really tough to do the 13 mins of walking for my Challenge even. It's supposed to rain / storm here tonight - though it looks like it might come sooner. My tired feeling as finally set in full force and I'm ready to go to bed. On another note, everyone LOVES my new shirt I'm wearing today. It's girly, has frills and lace.. it's kinda cute. I paired it with my cream coloured pearl earrings. It's cute, I'll give it that and I look ok. People were making me blush this morning though, going on about how cute.. ~rolls her eyes~ Anyway, I'm going to go surf some Blogs and websites, peace all.
10:15pm Update:
Duuuuuudes. I just got home from my night out with Mishy, and although I didn't buy anything, didn't accomplish any tasks (except the 13 minutes walk through the Mall parking lot! Another day down!!) I had a fantastic night just chatting and hanging out! We made two trips to Chapters and found out that apparently, around 10ish, Starbucks becomes 'the hang out' of the town we were in - interesting. More interesting, cute young guy with short blonde hair and a green shirt that Mishy was TOTALLY checking out. We went to the Mall, just to walk in the P-Lot. Madea trip to Home Depot where I picked up some paint chips and looked at tiles and lighting with Mish. We have similar tastes, so it helps to have her along. We drove to find my doctors so tomorrow I wont be lost - however, I totally forgot to pick up my stuff for tomorrow at the drug store - fingers crossed that I can pick it up tomorrow in the morning before I head out for my appointment - Oops. And I guess that's pretty much all we did. That and a lot of talking. Anyway, just wanted to say that I finished the challenge, that I had a great night tonight and that now I have to quickly do laundry so I have clothes for tomorrow! Have a good night everyone. Oh, and I'm totally OP today again, wicked. AND at the moment, I'm feeling pretty awake, and not sick at all really.. another good thing, to not feel like crap - cha-ching.

It's so early..
It's 6:25am right now, I've been awake since 6am - or technically I've been tossing and turning since about 5:30am. I'm up early to go to the dentist to get my retainer fixed before I head out to work - hopefully they will be quick enough that I'm not late - Fingers crossed! Anyway, I can't stay, need to get ready. I'll try to get on here to do an update later today - have a fantabulous Wednesday everyone!
7:30am Update:
Whew, just got back from doing my 13 minute walk - yay! It's done and so early in the morning too!! The trip to the dentist only took about 15 minutes and my retainer is back glued to my tooth - so it's all fixed. No charge either, which is good since they broke it off. I don't get my dentist, he never talks to me unless I like, force him to. Apparently he's like that with everyone in my family, so you'd have to guess he's just like that with everyone. I don't really like him, but whatever. He's just doesn't make the trip there very comfy and for people who are afraid of the dentist (not me) I'm sure he makes it worse.
Anyway, not feeling so great this morning, tired, my chest feels tight and I just have no energy. Good news is I made a doctors appointment for this Friday, so maybe he can give me some clues as to what's going on. It's upsetting for me, because I look at how much weight I've lost (about 40 - 50 lbs) and I think that my body should be so happy, I should feel so much healthier and have more energy and I just don't. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, or if something IS wrong, but maybe he can figure it out. Or, maybe he'll just say - rest more, take care of yourself or something.. dunno.
Anyway, I suppose I should get going. Good thing is that the dentist was so fast I wont be late for work and wont have to make up the time! Yay!! Oh, and yesterday we got a $75 bonus for working hard the past few months. I know it's not that much money, but it's like.. 7hrs of overtime worth for me.. so I'm excited! I mean, I bought a new bathing suit because mine was broken and it cost about $60 - so that bonus just paid for my new suit. It's exciting, I need more money so every little bit counts. Anyway, seriously, I'm outtie!
7:05pm Update:
So, I can't bring myself to go swimming.. I just can't find the motivation to walk to my neighbours or drive to the lane swimming place and just DO IT. Argh. I'll try again tomorrow. I got a lot of walking in today, this morning, my two 15 min breaks and a 40 min walk at lunch. So I figure I'm good for exercise for the day. I'm still not feeling great, and my mother is convinced it's the birth control shot I got back in May - and it very well might be - which SUCKS because it's so easy and convenient.
Dinner was... interesting tonight. My mom made this pork thing on the BBQ, and it tasted like pig. I'm just not a pork person (unless it's bacon, mmmm, bacon). Pork tastes EXACTLY how I'd imagine biting a pig would taste - can't explain it, just don't really enjoy it. I'm not sure exactly how many points my dinner was worth, guess I'll just estimate it. Anyway, I'm going to go relax for awhile.. don't forget to watch Rockstar tonight! Dilana, Jill Gioia, Lukas Rossi, Storm Large, Zayra Alvarez and Magni better all be safe tonight, because I love them all!!! Mostly though, I love Dilana, Lukas and Zayra <3 So.. as long as those three are safe - I'm happy.

7:30am Update:
Whew, just got back from doing my 13 minute walk - yay! It's done and so early in the morning too!! The trip to the dentist only took about 15 minutes and my retainer is back glued to my tooth - so it's all fixed. No charge either, which is good since they broke it off. I don't get my dentist, he never talks to me unless I like, force him to. Apparently he's like that with everyone in my family, so you'd have to guess he's just like that with everyone. I don't really like him, but whatever. He's just doesn't make the trip there very comfy and for people who are afraid of the dentist (not me) I'm sure he makes it worse.
Anyway, not feeling so great this morning, tired, my chest feels tight and I just have no energy. Good news is I made a doctors appointment for this Friday, so maybe he can give me some clues as to what's going on. It's upsetting for me, because I look at how much weight I've lost (about 40 - 50 lbs) and I think that my body should be so happy, I should feel so much healthier and have more energy and I just don't. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, or if something IS wrong, but maybe he can figure it out. Or, maybe he'll just say - rest more, take care of yourself or something.. dunno.
Anyway, I suppose I should get going. Good thing is that the dentist was so fast I wont be late for work and wont have to make up the time! Yay!! Oh, and yesterday we got a $75 bonus for working hard the past few months. I know it's not that much money, but it's like.. 7hrs of overtime worth for me.. so I'm excited! I mean, I bought a new bathing suit because mine was broken and it cost about $60 - so that bonus just paid for my new suit. It's exciting, I need more money so every little bit counts. Anyway, seriously, I'm outtie!
7:05pm Update:
So, I can't bring myself to go swimming.. I just can't find the motivation to walk to my neighbours or drive to the lane swimming place and just DO IT. Argh. I'll try again tomorrow. I got a lot of walking in today, this morning, my two 15 min breaks and a 40 min walk at lunch. So I figure I'm good for exercise for the day. I'm still not feeling great, and my mother is convinced it's the birth control shot I got back in May - and it very well might be - which SUCKS because it's so easy and convenient.

No hydro!
The Power is out at my house, has been since 9:30pm last night - and therefore, updates will be short depending on how long this continues. Yesterday would have been a good day, if I could have avoided the last 6 hours of the day or so. Had trouble returning earrings, the dentist broke off my retainer which now has to be fixed this Thursday, and the Power going down, OH and an email from Catherine - which as all of you know, just warms my heart. ~Rolls eyes~ Anyway, I'm tired and at work. Tonight I'm really going to have to force myself to get out there for the 13min walk.. I'm not in the mood, not even a little bit. Anyway, I'm off, lunch is over.

I think I lost?
Dangit, I hate scales with the stupid little lines because now I'm staring at the number trying to figure out if I actually lost 2lbs or if it hasn't moved at all. Grr. I think I did though, I'm pretty sure.. ~laughs~ So, I'm going to give it another week and hopefully I go down past the major black line so it will be easier to tell that I'm still loosing. I'm really not very good at this keeping track of pounds crap - I just want to look and feel better.
Today is week #2 of my Walking Challenge, so all week, every day, I will be walking an extra 13mins. Here's hoping I can push myself to go out each day and to it, cause sometimes it's hard. Pretty much the only reason I managed to pull it off this past week is because every time I even thought about it I quickly threw on my shoes and jumped out the door before I changed my mind. Anyway, I need to get ready for work - Monday! How'd that happen!?

Cross your fingers..
Tomorrow I'm going to step on the scale, and I'm going to hope for a loss of at least 2lbs. If there isn't a loss, then I'm going to drop my pnts down from 28 to 26 which is really techinically where I should be now since I've lost so much weight. I was hoping to put it off if I didn't have to, if I continued lossing with 28pnts, but if that's not the case.. then I guess it's time.
1:15pm Update:
Yay! I made it through the week doing my 10 minutes of walking!! Now next week I need to walk for at least 13mins / day. Here's hoping I can keep it up. Actually, today I went for the longest walk I've been on in a long time. About an hour of walking, at a steady pace with inclines and everything! It was sucky only because when I left the house for the walk it was overcast and warm - but cool enough that I could walk. And about five minutes into the walk the sun came out full on and blasted me for the rest of it. Good thing I put sunscreen on my face before I left! Otherwise, I haven't done too much else today. Had two meals.. drinking my water.. did dishes and now I'm kinda just laying around relaxing. I sent another email to Catherine, to discuss my closing dates and such in more detail. I tried to make the email sound more positive, more in a direction of completing things instead of just flat out anger. Tomorrow I have a Dentist appointment, blah. It's at 6:20 which is a really stupid time for me. It's like, right at the time when I eat my dinner. So either I gobble something down quick before I go - or I suffer until I get home. It wasn't originally booked for then.. they moved it from my like.. 5:50pm appointment. Apparently, I have such good teeth that my appointments don't take very long so they just moved my to the end of the day. Whatever, as long as they do a good job and don't slack just because they're in a rush to get home.
Sarah, Pirates was pretty good, I laughed a few times out loud and Depp is freaking too funny, I love his character. I'm excited that there's a 3rd one coming out! I really liked the fight scene on the wheel, made me laugh and I thought it fit with the crazy plot line and tone of the movie. I don't think it's a movie you HAVE to see in theatres. I think renting it would be just as good, it's not like you need to see it on the big screen or anything. If it came on TV for free, I'd watch it again. Doubt I'd pay money to see it again though.. ~shrugs~ Only need to see it once kinda thing.
So, tonight I'm supposed to RP (Roleplay) with Suz, something I haven't done in like.. months?? Holly crap, has it been that long?! I'm a bit nervous, just because I'm not sure if I'm in the right frame of mind for it.. not sure how creative I'll be. The only way to find out, of course, is to sit down and give it a try though - so that's what we'll be doing. Here's hoping it goes well, how exciting!

Delicious Depp.
Today's the day I go to Silvercity and see Pirates of the Caribbean 2 with Mishy - I'm excited, mostly cause I thought the last movie was fantastically funny - but also because I'm getting the fuck out of my house and I've decided to have fries at lunch. Now, fries used to be something I craved from time to time.. lately, I find myself not wanting them at all. EXCEPT, yes, there is an exception to that feeling... NewYork Fries gets me every time. Honestly, their Poutine is to die for... but, since that alone is about 26 pnts I've decided to avoid that (although I definately feel it pulling at my cravings) and have instead voted for a small fry with gravey on the side. Mmmm. I'm so excited. Figure I'll count it for 9pnts for the fries? And 1 pnt for the gravey? That sounds about right I think...?? All I've had for breakfast is a yogurt, so that will leave me at 12 pnts used and more than enough for something yummy for dinner. I might pick myself up a tea or something too, dunno yet. I'm addicted to these stupid low fat frozen coffee drinks! Curse them! Anyway, I'm all ready to go, sitting here showered, hair and makeup done.. dressed.. about an hour before I have to go. ~laughs~ It's because originally I was planning on having scrambled eggs and bacon with toast for breakfast - so I wouldn't be tempted at the movies, but I've decided to Hell with it. I have a craving, and best way to kill a craving it to have it - in moderation - of course. I'll try to come back online after the movie and tell you what I thought - fingers crossed it's funny - I could really use funny.
My Mom and Dad come home today, and I can't tell you how excited I am to see my Mother - even my Dad, it feels like forever since I've seen them and I really.. REALLY need to talk to her face to face. I had a bit of a breakdown this morning about everything, it all just seems so complicated. Usually I'm better at handling this sort of thing (or at least I thought I was better) but I know that my faults occur when several things come at me at once. I tend to backpedal away from it all, and get angry and frustrated with people quickly. I just don't handle dealing with stupid people, ontop of stressful situations very well. It's like they throw wrenches into already irritating things - and it fucking pisses me off. Like I need them around, pissing all over the pile of work to do, you know? ~Deep breath~ I know, I need to relax, take a step back and just push forward and sort through it all, I know. I know.
Anyway, I'm going to have to find time for my 10 min walk today and tomorrow. I think weekends will be harder because I can veg a bit instead of actually doing anything. Plus, today and tomorrow are supposed to be even HOTTER than yesterday and the day before - Can you say EW?!!! I hope this hot weather passes soon, I'm sick of being all sweaty the second I step outside, or get in my car (with no air).. blarg. I'll definately have to push myself today.. push push. I will not use my Flex pnts this weekend, I will not use my Flex pnts this weekend.
Shout Outs::
* Welcome Back Sarah!!!
* And Mishy, thanks for goin to see the movie with me today!!
* Crystal, I totally hear you on the gas. I remember when Tuesday's used to be the day to buy gas.. now in a single day it can range anywhere from .99 to 106!! What the hell is that crap all about?!
8:50pm Update:
~Yawns~ Duuuude, I'm tired. My Mom and I went out for a walk tonight and earned myself another activity pnt. On a weekend no less!! It's rare for me to find the motivation to do things on weekends, I just seem to go into shut down mode a lot. I'm dead tired at the moment, dude to the lack of good sleep, obviously. I was really hoping to sleep in until about 9am this morning, but as usual, my body rejects that idea and forces me to get up for 7am if not earlier. Anyway, all in all today hasn't been a bad day - Although I can't shake the stress that has become a part of my every day life. Seriously, I don't know what to do. I keep telling myself, I know, I definately know that what I have to do is just pick one thing, focus on it, complete it and move on. Problem is, I've tried that.. tried it and for some reason, it's not doable!! Catherine refuses to allow anything to happen without a fight - so that's where I've been, again, for a week and a half now. Fighting with her to book my closing and move-in date for the Condo. This-should-not-be-difficult!!!!! Argh, ok, I'm done talking about it. I'm going to read, or something, and go to bed.

Friday! It's Friday!!
Yay, it's Friday. Sorry for the lame ass post yesterday, honestly, I had no urge to write anything and was too tired when I got home. Even now I don't have anything to really say - but I wanted to quickly put my food stuff up before I got ready for work. I'll try to update later on. Since it's going to be insanly hot today (pitty for Mishy) I prolly wont be going out at lunch for a walk - I hate the heat. Last night I got my 10mins of walking in + like an extra hour while Lori and I circled the mall. My legs were sore by the time we left! And since I was tired BEFORE we went.. I was more than tired when we got back. Talked to Mishy on the phone for a lil bit, and then passed out once we hung up. Only to be woken up by Goober shortly after - hour conversation with him (Poor thing sounded even more tired than I did) and we hung up and I returned to my state of sleep. Anyway, I need to buy some gas this morning, so I need to get going here. Have a good day, and I'll try to update later today. Don't forget your sun screen today people!!!
11:05pm Update:
I'm restless, uncomfortable in my body, tired, thinking about far too many things and just generally not in a very good mood. Several people are tending to easily get under my skin, and I find myself with little to no sympathy for any of them. I miss my mother, which is stupid, but I haven't seen her in nearly two weeks - and everything just seems to continue to pile ontop of me, and I just feel like seeing her, you know? She'll be home tomorrow, so that will be coming true. But since my mood is such crap, who knows how that will go. I want to go up to bed, but all I can think of is tossing and turning, waking up several times during the night and then being all stiff and sore when I actually do get up - not very eager to do all that. I feel broke, I feel like there are all these things I need / want and can't have any of it.. I hate that. Whatever, maybe I'll go read my book.. night all. Hey, least I stayed OP and did the walk - yay.

I crave sleep!
Wow, I am so tired this morning. Goober and I were on the phone until about 1am last night, and then after we hung up - I couldn't sleep. Not sure how long it took me.. but I eventually did pass out. But then, because I drank so much tea and water before bed I was up three or four times to go to the bathroom! Stupid me.. argh. Needles to say, I woke up this morning dead tired.. oh well. My fault I suppose.
So, did anyone see BB7 last night?! Cause it freakin rocked when Janelle (sp?) won the freakin Veto!!! I was bouncing up and down - I love season 6 people and HATE Alison, vote her out! Then, I watched RockStar: Supernova and dude.. I love that show. Ok dudes... freakin Zayra called Tommy Lee (Motley Crüe), Jason Newsted (Metallica) & Gilby Clarke (Guns N' Roses) OLD on the show last night. It was crazy! I pissed myself laughing. Plus, I like her style of singing.. though I think the guys don't, it's just not right for their band. She reminds me of a band my friend Carl introduced me to awhile back called the "Yeah Yeah Yeahs". Anyway, you can go - Here - to check out profiles on the singers, so many of them freakin rock I don't have time to talk about them all right now. I'm hoping the next to go is Chris, Josh, Ryan or Phil because I really just don't like them all that much so far. They're dull on stage - not very exciting.
Anyway, nothing is really new for me here.. I mean, same old stuff. Might be going out tonight with Mishy for a bit and then tomorrow I'm supposed to hang with Lori. I guess I'm still feeling about the same as I was yesterday about my weight - blarg. Still no closing date set for my Condo - which bites. Just waiting on that Twit of a woman to get back to me.. ~rolls eyes~ Ok, I need to go get in the shower and get moving with my day here. So, you people all have a good Hump day, and I'll try to check out your Blogs later! Oh, one last thing - I know I said I'd talk about the Devil wears Prada, but I'm too lazy - so you can go to Mishy's website and read her review of the movie - since we had pretty much the same review of it.
12:00pm Update:
Quick update here. I dont know if I'm going to get any activity pnts in today b/c it's raining. Honestly, I don't even know when I'll get that 10 minute walk in!! Argh, stupid rainy day - I'm tired. So tired. ~sighs~ Today is not a good day physically, emotionally, etc. And I swear, if that dolt Catherine doesn't get back to me today about my closing dates I'm going to scream..
Out!

So, did anyone see BB7 last night?! Cause it freakin rocked when Janelle (sp?) won the freakin Veto!!! I was bouncing up and down - I love season 6 people and HATE Alison, vote her out! Then, I watched RockStar: Supernova and dude.. I love that show. Ok dudes... freakin Zayra called Tommy Lee (Motley Crüe), Jason Newsted (Metallica) & Gilby Clarke (Guns N' Roses) OLD on the show last night. It was crazy! I pissed myself laughing. Plus, I like her style of singing.. though I think the guys don't, it's just not right for their band. She reminds me of a band my friend Carl introduced me to awhile back called the "Yeah Yeah Yeahs". Anyway, you can go - Here - to check out profiles on the singers, so many of them freakin rock I don't have time to talk about them all right now.

Day O' Blarg.
This morning I feel like I've put on weight, feel like I weigh even more than I already do and feel like I have so far to go before I'm happy with myself. Today, this morning, is not going well. Not sure what my problem is but every glance in a mirror, at my body, etc, is making me irritated and upset. Silly, I know.. I should be happy with how much I've done so far and just keep moving forward and yet... today I'm finding it all very difficult. Hopefully this goes away by the time I get to work..
8:30pm Update:
So, today on my very not feeling slimmer day, several people (some who haven't commented yet during the past month or so) made comments on how good I look, and how much I've lost. Do you think it's possible that they all read my Blog and figured I needed the encouraging comments? Heh. Anyway, it's nice of them to say - though it doesn't change the fact that I just wasn't feeling it today. Either way, I'm on pnts and did the 10min walk after work. So everything is really fine... I'm just feeling Blarg.
To top that off, I'm still fighting to figure out a closing date with that Twit, and my boss called me into a meeting today to tell me that I couldn't transfer offices when I move - which sucks, but since our company was bought out - not much either of us could do about that. Which means, instead of just changing offices when I move, I'll need to find a new job... two hours from here. Fuckers, it's just more stress on the pile - eh well, it'll all work out - has to. ~winks~
Ok, I'm off to finish watching BB7 (Pls vote off Alison!!). And then Rockstar SuperNova! Wicked. I hope tonight rocks.. fingers crossed!
Out!

Tough call with the scale . . .
So, I weighed myself this morning, and there's a loss of about 2lbs - after two weeks. I was hoping for something more like 5lbs. The only real reason I'm weighing myself is because I don't want to stop loosing because I need to drop a pnt group and haven't. I should be down to 26 pnts a day now - but if I was still loosing I saw no pnt. I can't make a decision yet I don't think because I didn't do well last weekend or this weekend - so that prolly didn't help with my loss. I don't know, anyone have any opinions on this? Should I just try to buckle down more and behave myself on weekends and don't touch my Flex (which seems hard lately for some reason) or should I lower my daily pnts to 26??
I think I'm going to start a new Challenge for myself. More specifically - a walking challenge. I read it in some WW Book that on week #1 you walk each day for 10 minutes. Then, for every following week you add three minutes to the walk. (Eg. Week 2 = 13mins, Week 3 = 16mins, etc.) This extra walking will be above and beyond the walking I do each day at work on breaks and such. I wasn't going to say anything on here about this, only because I can feel myself not wanting to do it - but maybe having to come back here and report I haven't done it every day will motivate me? Dunno, we'll see. I'll put a thing at the bottom of my list and write complete for the days I actually do it. 10 minutes a day doesn't seem like much, but that's 70 mins extra per week.. so that's something, right?
~Yawns~ Anyway, I'm way sleepy this morning.. could not sleep last night. I'll try to write more later and in the meantime, have a good Monday morning everyone.
7:10pm Update:
Whew, and I'm sitting down and things are done. I got home from work a bit later than normal because I was chatting about the stresses of life with Kathy S. in the P-lot at work. Then when I got home, I picked up the mail and forced myself to continue for a walk around the small block by my house to earn that 10minutes of extra walking. Granted, since it rained all day at work I was unable to go for my 'regular' daily walks to earn activity pnts - but normally, if that would have happened I wouldn't have gone once I got home either - so it's above and beyond what I normally would have done. Day #1 of Challenge is complete.
So I got home from the walk, and got changed into lounging around the house clothes, and then put on some eggs to boil for dinner (mmm egg salad) and while I was waiting for those to cook and cool I did the dishes I avoided doing last night. After dinner, I went out to make the rounds for the gardens, just checking them quick - I was going to have to water them but the rain today saved me! Fed the fish in the pond and now I'm sitting here writing in my Blog. Honestly, I should get up and clean the bathroom tonight - but that sounds less than appealing to me at the moment.
Anyone have any good ideas for snacks at night or during the day at work that are low in points? I'm really not a raw veggie snacking person.. it just takes too much effort and I rarely - if ever craved it. If any of you have an idea to share that would be fantastic, because I'm getting bored of stuff really quickly these days.. even my breakfasts in the morning.. peanut butter, jam and honey in different variations is becoming dull. Is this a problem for anyone else, or am I the only one suffering from food boredom??

Crystal >> Hey! Yeah they were fantastic. Actually, I decided to use the meatloaf receipt from the WW Book since I've had it several times before and it was fantastic. It made 12 Meatloaf Muffins and they are great. It has a lot of flavour in it - I'm having it for lunch tomorrow at work with some more mashed potatoes, and can't wait! I've been dying for something besides Crustini's for lunches and this was a great idea - thanks! I froze most of them.. so we'll see what they taste like one night when I get home and don't feel like cooking something and just throw one in the micro real quick.

The Devil Wears Prada - and I so don't.
I'm about to get my butt moving this morning and get ready for my afternoon with Mishy - cross your fingers that the movie is good. I have to admit, I've very torn between seeing this and Pirates of the Caribbean 2 - but Mishy really doesn't wanna see Pirates anyway.. so I suppose it's an easy choice. Matt had such good things to say about it last night though, and I loved the first one. Anyway, I suppose I'd better get going... have my shower, do my hair and get dressed in my comfy jeans, pretty brown top and sneakers. Ah, sneakers - I love you. Anyway, maybe I'll try to get a food shopping in today also, because I am offically out of food at home here. Unless I eat dry wraps and chicken fingers for the next week. ~laughs~ Or eggs, I seem to have eggs... so I could eat that too I suppose. Enjoy your Saturday everyone, hopefully you're all lazing around at home - relaxing!

I get to sleep in tomorrow?! Wicked-cool.
Morning everyone, another early morning for overtime for me. You wouldn't think an extra hour a day would make that big a difference - but it just does. Every morning when my alarm goes off I think 'you could be sleeping for another hour' before I drag my lazy ass outta bed and start my morning routine.
Yesterday was an ok day, today I think we find out offically what our new quotas are at work. (here's hoping it isn't insane - though my boss tells me it isn't) I managed to get my ball exercising in last night - I felt guilty because once again I didn't bother trying to make it to the new lap pool I found. (i suck) Seriously, I used to LOVE to swim, I don't see why it's so hard for me to find the motivation to go... it's open tomorrow and Sunday - maybe I'll try to muster up the energy and urge to go. (I say again, I suck, I can feel the motivation leaking away..)
I'm supposed to weigh myself on Monday, and I'm not sure what it's going to read. Hopefully a loss, though I haven't been eating very well from day to day. This week as been fine, but the weekend was NOT fine. So.. I guess I'll see. It's hard to tell if I'm hitting a spot where I'm just maintaining though... I guess I'll just wait and see what the scale says come Monday. Anyway, I need to get some gas this morning (it's at like.. 1.06L!!!) which I'm not looking forward to. Stupid gas prices... soon I wont be able to afford DRIVING to work.. I'll have to walk.. and leave my house at 3am in order to do it. ~laughs~

Wake up... wake up... rawr...
Morning peeps - another tired morning. Maybe it's just because it's 6am and this feeling will pass by the time I get to work - doubt it, but maybe. Quick Blog post here, just to answer some questions and I'll try to update later when I have more time.
Sarah, no I haven't gotten the chest pains since that last time - granted, I didn't fully get them that time either. I do find that the ball exercises tend to pull my ab muscles though - which proves very uncomfortable for days to follow. I'm trying to go easier on myself when I do it so that I don't end up over doing the routine. Maybe I'm just not ready for some of the moves yet - gotta build up my strength. Thanks for asking Hun. ~huggles~
Michelle, actually - no we aren't. I was kinda waiting to post anything about it because I wasn't sure what to write, exactly. Awhile back, when things were even more stressful, was when I decided that it wasn't right for me. It's a long, very long, story. He's a fantastic guy, and nothing he did made me want to break it off... I just don't think it's what I wanted. Blarg, details, I know. There are just so many....
Anyway, I need to shower and run off to work here. So, here's wishing you all a great day - weekend is so close I can almost taste it!

Wednesday, and counting.
It's Hump day - thank god! Even though it's a short week this week I still can't wait until the weekend - not because I have anything planned - just because it'll be the weekend. My pnts were kinda crap yesterday, I haven't updated or counted them yet - last night I went out with Mishy and then I talked to Matt on the phone until I went to bed. So, I really didn't have time to do much. Tonight I need to clean the house, badly, and get the garbage ready because it'll be picked up tomorrow. I'm less tired today, than I was yesterday - that's at least good.
Anyway, work is about to start for me here - honestly, I need to get back on track with proper pnt counting and giving a shit about them again. It's just kinda sorta fallen to the side for me lately. Not that I'm going crazy and eating everything - I just am slacking in effort I suppose. Ok, I'll try to update later, have a good hump day all.
12:00pm Update:
I'm at work, so I was maybe going to go swimming tonight, but there's so much stuff to get done at home tonight, that I don't think I'll have the time. Maybe MAYBE I'll talk myself into doing the ball exercises - god, where has nmy 'non-motivation' gone?? I honestly could go home right now, crawl into my comfy bed, and go to sleep. Instead I'm going to have to motivate myself to do all the stuff around the house and maybe do a bit of journal writing, some reading, and exercise before bed - IF - I can push myself to do it all, that is. Still need to make some phone calls for things, appointments and such. Still think I should see a doctor about this constant feeling of being tired for no reason.
Anyway, I think I'm going to go for a walk now.. earn an activity pnt for myself. Hope you are all having a good day.
8:00pm Update:
Finally, everything is pretty much done. Just have some laundry to get done, writing in my journal and then BED only to get up early tomorrow for more overtime and to put the garbage out - living alone should be an exerience for me to say the least. ~laughs~ So, watering the plants, carrying around the watering pot, cleaning up the plants, doing the dishes and picking up pine cones all over the place has proven enough exercise for me tonight I think. For some reason my abs feel really tight - so I'm going to avoid irritating them and vote to not do the ball exercises tonight. On the plus side, I did stay within pnts today - yay!
Out!

Anyway, work is about to start for me here - honestly, I need to get back on track with proper pnt counting and giving a shit about them again. It's just kinda sorta fallen to the side for me lately. Not that I'm going crazy and eating everything - I just am slacking in effort I suppose. Ok, I'll try to update later, have a good hump day all.
12:00pm Update:
I'm at work, so I was maybe going to go swimming tonight, but there's so much stuff to get done at home tonight, that I don't think I'll have the time. Maybe MAYBE I'll talk myself into doing the ball exercises - god, where has nmy 'non-motivation' gone?? I honestly could go home right now, crawl into my comfy bed, and go to sleep. Instead I'm going to have to motivate myself to do all the stuff around the house and maybe do a bit of journal writing, some reading, and exercise before bed - IF - I can push myself to do it all, that is. Still need to make some phone calls for things, appointments and such. Still think I should see a doctor about this constant feeling of being tired for no reason.
Anyway, I think I'm going to go for a walk now.. earn an activity pnt for myself. Hope you are all having a good day.
8:00pm Update:
Finally, everything is pretty much done. Just have some laundry to get done, writing in my journal and then BED only to get up early tomorrow for more overtime and to put the garbage out - living alone should be an exerience for me to say the least. ~laughs~ So, watering the plants, carrying around the watering pot, cleaning up the plants, doing the dishes and picking up pine cones all over the place has proven enough exercise for me tonight I think. For some reason my abs feel really tight - so I'm going to avoid irritating them and vote to not do the ball exercises tonight. On the plus side, I did stay within pnts today - yay!
Out!

Enough with the yawning already!
Maybe it's time to see the doctor, seriously. Every bleepin morning I wake up and I'm tired.. but if I was to try and continue sleeping - I couldn't do it. I got 7hrs of sleep last night, and like 9hrs the night before.. there's NO reason that I should be tired and yet - here I am typing this yawning ready to go lay down. Argh. Is this all seriously because of my stress level?? I'm going into work this morning early, hoping for some more overtime this week to make that extra cash - but seriously, it's not that bad! It's only a few hours here and there so that can't be the cause of this constant feeling of dragging my ass around. I need to get out, do stuff, or something. I don't know what's causing it but I've had enough now.
Out!

No no, I have not disappeared!
I'm back, returned from going 'Up Home' and the much socalizing with relatives and such. It all went pretty well, guilt was thrown around - lots of laughs, good food, some irritations (but when doesn't that happen with family around?) but all in all it was a very good and tiring weekend. I'm home now, and very glad to be. (As I usually am.)
Finished reading 'The Devil wears Prada' and am ready to see the movie now. It was pretty good, funny, half way through though I did reconsider continuing to read as it reminded me of my level of complaining of my job from time to time. (Alright, always. Heh.) But, once I was that far into the book since it's humor had snagged me at the beginning I just HAD to know how it would end.. as if by some strange connection the ending would give me some strange hope for the road that lays ahead for me in my current position in the working force. Anyway, I'm very glad I finished it, and can't wait to see the movie. Should be funny as Hell. I'll let you know. Now I have 3 books left from the little spree at the Chapters in town. All three are Vampire novels, so, we'll see what they are like. (aka, not holding my breath that they wont suck) Originally I wanted to get the like.. 13th book in a series I've read.. but the bookstore didn't have it in stock (suckage) but I'll get it on the next trip Mishy and I make.
Food was bad this weekend, that's all I can say really. I used up all my Flex pnts easy - although I wasn't really keeping track. Potatoes, chicken and burgers of the BBQ, salads that were definately not low fat and homemake cherry cheese cake. Oh well, it was really only one horrible day of eating. I'll survive. Back on track for this week, hopefully. (I did alright all week, honest, it was only that one day of slip ups! Grr, I know it cost me my entire loss for the week though prolly, drat.)
Anyway, I'm going to go relax for a bit, hope you all had a great long weekend!
