Day 9

My happy thought - today is my BF's birthday! 

Dress shopping was fun; it's amazing to see what a beautiful young woman my "niece" has become. 

Days 4 thru 8

Oops - forgot Friday and honestly I don't see myself posting on the weekends so here are my happy things to catch up!!

Friday - Day 4 - VALENTINE'S DAY! Had a great evening with the hubby.  I typically work on Fridays, I took the day off and we went to dinner (he actually made reservations, shocking).

Saturday - Day 5 - Made some decent $$ at work (second job waiting tables) and went to a 40th birthday party that night!  It didn't go according to plan but we still had fun...

Sunday, Day 6 - Hubby took the dog out in the morning so I got to lounge in bed - my favorite!

Monday, Day 7 - Going Prom dress shopping with my BF and my "niece"!  Very excited!


The scale was very evil this morning.....which SUCKS!  However I eat a bunch of crap the past two days so it's not surprising. 

If I get home early enough I'm going to hit the gym tonight.  If not, then definitely tomorrow!

It's supposed to snow more today.  Wish to hell it would stop and the sidewalks were dry - I have a run coming up that I should really TRAIN for! GRRR.

What's your happy?

Day 3

Happy item - I went to the gym yesterday! Yeah me!! And I didn't feel like hell afterwards.  Double yeah!

Two different couple friends of mine are going on warm weather vacations; both are leaving Saturday.  I am majorly jealous.  Boo.  :(

I was supposed to go visit a friend who moved to California but I haven't heard much from her since she moved so I didn't plan it.  Oh well. 

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and I actually have plans.....SHOCKING!!

What is your happy items?

TTYM! :)

Day 2

Today's happy item......I didn't snack after dinner yesterday!!  Yeah me!

And I decided to start taking my thyroid medication....I've been afraid because of the possible hair loss.  I'm starting off taking half of the prescription amount.  I know I'm being dumb....I guess I just don't want to be on a pill for the rest of my life. 

It was pretty sunny at lunch time; another happy thing!

And finally - I think I'm going to go to the gym this evening. 

What's your happy item of the day?

TTYT (Talk to you tomorrow).

100 days of happiness...

I saw this on another blog - a hundred days of posting happy things.  I think your supposed to post pictures but I don't want to mess with pictures so I'm going to stuff about stuff!

Day 1

Today my friend invited me to go Prom dress shopping with her and her daughter! I'm super excited about it.  Her daughter is my "niece" and I LOVE that her daughter wanted me to go! 


Also, I didn't order french fries at lunch today - WOO HOO!

Happy freaking cold Tuesday! :)

Well....

I didn't make to the gym yesterday.  Boo.  :(

And my food intake wasn't the best.  Double boo.  :(

However the scale said 178.2 so that is a Yeah!  Only down .2 BUT as WW says; a loss is a loss.  Plus I ate 2 mini cupcakes yesterday.....YUM.

I had good intentions of going the gym but slept awful Saturday so my getting up early plan just didn't work out.

I might go work out this evening; maybe it would help my crummy mood. 

I joined a weight loss challenge at my gym; it starts the second weekend in February.  I super excited about it...I will share the journey here.  I feel like I can't talk about to the hubby & friends because as one my friends mentioned when I said "this summer I'm going to wear all my cute clothes"....her reply was "you said that last year"....nice friend huh? 

So screw her I don't need her support; I can do this.  And this blog will be my support; regardless if anyone even reads it! LOL. 

Yeah me!

I went to the gym yesterday!! Did cardio for an hour!  I was very proud.  I was super unhappy however that I forgot my headphones.  I was then super happy to discover that Parenthood (one of my fav shows) was on one of the TV's!  Double yeah!

Stepped on the scale today - 178.4.  I can't wait until it says 168.4 or 158.4 or 138.4!! 

My goal is 135.....so far way.  A co-worker of mine has lost over 100 pounds. If she can do that, I can do this!  I just realized, right now I want to lose the same amount of weight as my age......that's odd and it's a sign!  It's a sign that this is the year to find me again; the skinny confident person I used to be before food became my best friend. 

I went to Qdoba for lunch.  Had a burrito bowl and no tortilla chips! Another yeah for me because I LOVE guac and chips....or their super yummy queso. 

Goals for the weekend - no snacking at work tonight.  No eating donuts at work tomorrow or snacking (this will be very hard).  AND hit the gym on Sunday.


Wish me luck!

Goal of the day...

Go to the gym after work!! Which wouldn't be that big of a deal if I didn't have a second job but I am going to do it!

Typically I go home after the second job; watch TV and snack. 

Today I am going to go to the gym, watch TV and NOT snack! :)

Also I will drink 3 glasses of 20 oz (the size of the coffee cups here).

Did I mention I hate water?

Another day in chubby land....

Scale - 180.4

Once upon a time my "highest ever" weight was 158....and when I made it back to the 130's I was amazed at how much I had left myself gain...and now....what can I say?

I realized today that food gives me a "high".  My relationship with food isn't on a "as need" basis.  It is more like an "addict" relationship.  Each morning I say to myself "self, today you aren't going to stop at McDonald's on the way to work".  By the time I'm leaving the house; I'm telling myself "one more time to say good-bye".  I'm like a crack addict!  One more hit and then I'm done; I promise. 

Where is the McDonald's breakfast addict no more group?
