Without fail, my body has rung it's alarm and even though it's Saturday, and Mishy wont be here until 10ish - I sit at my computer... awake. ~Sigh~ Oh well, it'll give me more time to get my place cleaned before she comes I guess. I should have cleaned last night, but I just didn't have it in me.. so, I didn't. However, I did manage to stop myself from over eating - but let me tell you how difficult that was! I'm not sure if it was an emotional urge to eat, or if I was just bored and wanted to eat because of that... but either way, I "felt" hungry and it was a battle until about 11pm not to eat everything I could find in my place. There was no reason to be hungry, I had a nice dinner (leftovers from the night before, its kinda like a taco but the ingredients are loose) and even cut up 3 carrots and some cucumber and dipped it in my new sweet chili sauce for a snack. It wasn't like my body was starving, and yet if my tummy could talk it would have sworn it needed more. It's days like that, that I'm reminded how easily I can go off track if I just allow it to happen...
Nothing much is new really, I did the 2 Mile WATP video on Thursday for the first time, and I have to say - it's a lot more intense than the 1 Mile. Only because of the pace that they set throughout the video. Next week I'm going to make a point to do it at least 3 times. I might do it tomorrow, but today doesn't work since I'll be busy with Mishy doing.. I dunno, movies? eating out? shopping? Pretty much whatever we feel like doing - did I mention how excited I am that she's coming down to visit!? Yay!
Anyway, I guess I should start to get ready, hope everyone has a great day.

Yay for Thursday!
It's almost the end of the week - and even though it was only a four day week for me to begin with - I can't tell you how excited I am to be close to the end. It's just one of those weeks where you just don't feel like working, or doing much of anything for that matter. I kinda wish I would have taken the entire week off and stayed back home with my Mom to spend time together - but oh well.
So, Mishy was the only one so far in knowing anything about her Chinese Animal - The Boar. So, for Mishy, and anyone else who has the Boar as their animal.. here is a bit about yourself from that book:
There are pages and pages more, I just picked that one part for an example. If any Boars out there would like me to quote some more outta the book, lemme know - and if any others would like a quote for their animal, let me know and I'll gladly do it.
Anyway, not much to report this morning, it was one of those times that I stayed in bed too long, and didn't want to get out even when I did. I love when the bed feels that comfy... how come that only happens on working days and not weekends, hm??? Tonight is the Office, make sure you catch it. And if someone would like to clean my place for me - that would be a great help.
I didn't exercise last night, only because I think I pulled a muscle in my abs somehow (can you pull something, or irritate it more when you wear heels for day after day and aren't used to that??) and plus my legs are still sore from all the working out I did on the weekend and the 5hrs of shopping I did with my Mom on Monday. However, despite not exercising, I am down in my weight - yay!! I'm at 212.2lbs - a new record for me and hopefully I'll zoom right past it. I can't wait to be in the 100s. I swear, when I hit 199lbs I'm going to jump around like I won the lottery - what an exciting day that will be. I honestly cannot tell you when I was that low... and so it will be a huge step in improving my health. The huge part of the "battle" will be over ladies and gents.. and hopefully it will be smooth sailing from there. ~winks~
Anyway, I need to get ready, I'm running behind..
Hope you all have a great Thursday, and if you don't know your Chinese Animal I can look it up in my book if you give me your Bday with the year. (You can email it to me if you like.) And if you know the time you were born that gives an even more specific detailed reading.
See ya,
Becca ~
Shoot, I totally forgot about my Toronto Sun Horoscope:
Stick to what you believe in and what you want to do. A change regarding an old friend will come as a surprise. You are better off keeping people who influenced you in the past out of your life now. 3 stars
Another 3 star day, ah well, could be worse. It still makes sense to me, expect the old friend thing.. I guess I'll let you know if anything happens on that front. And as for keeping away from people who influenced me in the past.. well, it's a good thing I called that person yesterday and not today then. Heh. Ok, I'm really going now.
So, Mishy was the only one so far in knowing anything about her Chinese Animal - The Boar. So, for Mishy, and anyone else who has the Boar as their animal.. here is a bit about yourself from that book:
BOAR
"Ms.Boar will be either spotlessly clean or terribly untidy. All Boars tend to come in these two categories and there are only rare cases of in-betweens. Whichever she is, she will be very personable and modest. She will devote her ever ounce of energy to objects of her affection and ask very little in return. You can identify her by her remarkable purity of expression and trusting ways. Yet, although she loves with total abandon, she will show a preference for anonymity or even secrecy. She can worship someone at a distance for years or serve him with passionate devotion without his knowing. She could play the perfect hostess to her husband's cronies and spoil the children by constantly answering to their beck and call - not to mention picking up after them all the time. But she won't mind, and when she makes a complaint, it will be but a mild one. Actually, she loves tending to her family and looks upon them not as burdens but as her pride and joy. With her, it will be a labor of love. Wherever she presides, people will congregate ion an atmosphere of happiness and contentment."

Not feelin the Wednesday vibe . . .
Morning everyone, how're you all doing?
I'm tired this morning, and really not feeling like going to work, working, or doing much of anything - I'm like a balloon that is slowly deflating lately... I need to somehow kick myself back into gear. However, I'm almost back to where I was weight wise before the long weekend - which means, if I hit the same weight tomorrow then I'm exactly where I was a week ago. In one way, I guess that's good. I always say it's better to maintain then gain. But common! I wanna loose the pounds.. not just sit at the same numbers for months at a time. (Not yet at least, if I was lets say 180ish or something like that I'd be filled with glee to maintain.)
I was reading this really cool book last night called "The Handbook of Chinese Horoscopes" which I've owned (or rather my Mom has, and I totally swiped it when I moved out - thanks Mom!) for years and years now. Anyway, I was just curious as I read it if everyone knows their animal and if you wouldn't mind sharing which you are?? If you want, I could even quote a little section to you for your animal and we could see if it rings true. I have to say though, almost everyone I've ever shared the book with.. it's bang on, even mine, for the most part. ~winks~
Speaking of Horoscopes, here's mine for today from The Toronto Sun:
Keep a secret and you will spare yourself trouble with someone you really like. Keep a lid on any information that may link you to a negative happening. A personal change you made in the past may be questioned or an old habit may tempt you. 3 stars
I'm not sure what the secret is, but I'll do my best to keep my mouth shut today. The old habit I believe I've got covered.. It's gross, so I'm not trying to make you guys cringe or anything. But I'm one of those people who used to chew their nails.. like.. until they hurt. Well, guess what I did last night - yep.. that's right. I just couldn't stop myself.. and I've been doing so well for years now with not doing it. (I think I only fell off the wagon one or two other times in years.) So, again in my opinion, this reading it pretty close to what's going on in my life.
Anyway, I think that's about all for now.
I'm trying to talk myself into doing the WATP video - but the 2 Mile... send some confidence my way guys so I actually do it tonight... eepp...
Luv,
Becca ~

Chocolate Mini Eggs, Yummy food.. dang.
First, here's my Horoscope..
Keep a lid on your plans so that no one will intervene. A problem with a partnership you are involved in will teach you a lesson if you aren't willing to say no. Be true to who you are and what you want. 3 stars
It still seems to be on the same topic I've been freaking and thinking about for months and months now.. and honestly, it seems to be ontop of what I'm feeling and thinking.. .again, I'm not going into too much detail here only because I don't really want to talk about it. But lets just say that the whole 'no' thing is difficult for me, and being true to what I want.. well... it's easy to give into what you want right now, but harder to work past that to what you want for your future.
Anyway, I'm at my Mom and Dads right now, spending the day with my Mom and then heading back home tonight. While I did eat horribly this weekend (eg. Mini Eggs, Bacon, Lots of bread, cake, chips, chocolate, hamburgers, etc. etc.) I did push myself to work out each day - heck, yesterday I even did the video twice. Here's hoping it curbed the gaining of weight just a little.. hopefully.. fingers crossed!! Eep.
Alright, well, hopefully you all had a good weekend, and for those of you who have today off as well I hope you enjoy the last day before going back to work. I know I'm going to.
I'll visit all your Blogs when I get home,

One more before I go...
Are you ready to deal with emotional issues? If not, keep your thoughts to yourself and listen and observe. Time is on your side, so don't let anyone pressure you into making a move you aren't sure you want to make. 2 stars
Common Horoscope... not more shitty 2 star days and enough with the emotional stuff! I know what it's talking about, and I get it. Leave it alone.. and don't touch the open wound for awhile. Fine, fine and fine. Time is on my side... can I just tell everyone how much I don't want to wait anymore.. how tired I am OF waiting and wasting time? Growl. Alright, I'm going to start my 2 Star day and make the best of it. Geeze.
Becca ~
Oh, one more thing, the damage I did during last weekend is repaired.. I'm back to the weight I was going into it.... just in time for this long Easter weekend.. ~laughs~

Gone for the weekend.
I'm going to be MIA for the next few days, I'm going to my parents/grandparents places for the weekend and wont be back until next week. So, it'll be quiet here until then.. but I wish you all a Happy Easter and good times with family and friends.
I'm going to keep this short only because I'm rather tired today, it's been a very long, busy day for me and I'm just about ready to call it a night here. I'm still working on getting fit, loosing weight, eating healthy, etc. etc. We'll see what happens after this weekend.. hopefully it wont be a disaster. Fingers crossed!!
So, I'm liking this Horoscope I've been reading, honestly, bang on for what like four days now?
If your actions might hurt someone's feelings, rethink your options. Be careful not to upset anyone you care about or the damage may be reversible. Emotional confusion is apparent, so don't make snap decisions. 2 stars
Anyway, have a good one and see you when I get back.

Yesterday / Today.
6:10pm Update:
I just finished doing my Walk Away the Pounds - 1 Mile exercise, for the 2nd time this week, and I'm glad I did it. I've also started using the weights just like I said I would - and damn is it harder. Heh. Here's hoping that come next week I'll be ready for the 2 Mile.. we will see, we will see.
In addition, I also put in extra effort for looking good yet again today for work - I can't remember how many days it's been in a row, I lost count, but people commented how nice I looked again today, which is nice. I really have Owen to thank for talking me into getting myself all 'pretty' in the morning, he said it had something to do with looking good, feeling good.. the impression you give off to other people - blahblahblah. ~winks~ Anyway, he really did talk me into putting in more effort, and I think, just maybe - it's working.
As for the Horoscope posted below, it was yesterdays - it appears that the Toronto Sun only updates their website midway through the day - so my Horoscope for today is:
You can make a difference to the people around you. Don't be afraid to try your hand at something that could potentially lead to greater income. Initially, you may find it difficult to change your lifestyle but, in the end, you will be grateful. 5 stars
Something that could potentially lead to a greater income, like maybe the job offer that may or may not be made from the response I got through email today?? I'm tellin you, this Horoscope is pretty much bang on lately. Also, the last part about changing my lifestyle, well, anyone who has been talking to me in the last month or so knows what that's prolly about. I'll talk about that later on maybe.. we'll see.
Anyway, I need to make myself some dinner,
Have a wonderful night everyone - and I'll try to stop by your Blogs later tonight.
Becca ~
------------- End of Update.
Horoscope:
You will have a chance to make some money, settle a claim or collect a debt. Someone you have been involved with will try to involve you in something that you should probably avoid. Stick to friends and family you know you can trust. 5 stars
That was my horoscope from yesterday, they still haven't changed it for today - but I guess most of it is somewhat true. I'm not sure what the something I should avoid was... and I only talked to friends/family that I could trust yesterday for the most part. Anyway, the money thing will hopefully be with my condo. Twit emailed me late last night and said I should call her about my closing date and also the refund for the water troubles at the beginning. There was another thing that happened, but I'm not going to post about it just in case - let just say it has to do with someone I like to call - McScrumptious. Heh.
I'm up a few pounds.. which pisses me off. But, I have no one to blame but myself. It means of course, now I have to work even harder this month.. agh.. I hate when the reason you have to put in MORE effort is because of your own faults, what a pain. I did however do my walking video last night, WITH the weights.. it wasn't so bad.. definitely a workout. There was only one arm movement I couldn't do entire set for - but common! I tried. AND I'm using 3lbs weights, not 2lbs. So, that's also making a difference.
Ok, I have to get ready for work and iron my dress pants this morning,
Have a good day everyone.
