Desserts!

This is a super song by Mose Stephenson.

Enjoy!

Yeah Me. Just under but Ill take it. Next stop 158.0. One day at a time.

I have been really good for the last 3 days at dinner (work) … sliced cucumbers, tuna wrap, sliced apples. or cottage cheese, cucumber slices and apples.

Just need to hang in through my weekend — Thursday and Friday and I should be able to weigh in at 159.0 on Friday or Saturday. Then I will be where I should have been 4 weeks ago.

I think I just needed a brief break from being hard on myself. I am achieving the diet regime, but not absorbing the lifestyle change. I would still like to have a Big Whopper or something once a week and my body won’t let me cheat AT ALL.

Life’s a bitch.

This looks really good!

Well the Easter weekend is over and whether you celebrate it as the death and rising from the dead of Jesus Christ or as an excuse to eat more chocolate than is good for you …. it’s behind us now.

I managed to stay away from chocolate as I am mildly allergic to it anyways but I had chinese food and other sundry salty treats. Was up to 163.x at one point between Thursday and Monday. Down to 161.0 this morning. I have 2 days to get down below 160,0, my last WW weight in. I know I can do it if I avoid salt, drink lots of water and eat plenty of power foods (vegetables and protein).

The challenge is doing that at work. I’m afraid to drink lots of water because I can’t run to the loo just any ol’ time I’d like. Being wired into a phone jack that measure the length of your calls, the time between calls, and yes, even your Aux Personal (bathroom breaks) makes you uber aware of how many breaks you are taking and whether they fall within the parameters of “allowable”.

But the vegetables and exercise I CAN control. This morning I had a sliced banana with Spelt grain cereal. It is very good. 3 pts. per 3/4 cup.

Now I just have to pack a healthy snack and dinner and drink, drink, drink that H2O. Oh yeah, and get in a walk before I go to work at 1:30pm.

Off I go!

I have been cheating in my eating since I hit my 10% bodyweight loss. I have also felt very stressed at work and home. Discovering that contrary to popular opinion I can only do one thing at a time really well.

Minding the neighbours animals for 8 days last week was dumb. Any extra energy time or focus that I had went to them. No weight loss for 2 wks. now because I haven’t shopped for groceries, packed healthy lunches everyday or had any time to plan meals at home.

Whenever my husband fills in on groceries, cooking, etc. I gain weight.

Work and animals was the most I could concentrate on. 3 dogs and a cat took approx. 1.5 hrs. per day to let out, feed, play ball with, put back to bed, clean litter and worry about.

Now I am on my 2 days off (Thursday Friday is my weekend now) and I hope to catch up on my own needs.

Happy Easter folks.

After 120 day probationary period is complete I am full full time and a union member is good standing. Really hard to fire. Yeahhh. should reach my 120th day some time in mid June.

Working late shifts and lots of weekends, but the dosh is great and when I wish I were home, I think about my new dishwasher and how easy it makes my life and feel better.

Don’t want to change my life’s thrust to materialism, but the bad shifts won’t last forever and the job is bringing some comforts into our life. PLUS, I am saving for my private room in the old folks home!

Life is good and the future is friendly.

I love using a terry cover on bathroom vanity chairs like this one in a client home. It looks chic and can easily be removed to launder.

Haven’t been posting lately. Tried to add memory to my harddrive and just succeeded in messing it up. I have everything, but it’s all in weird places. Also, all my software wants the key#s reloaded. The ones I have, it won’t recognize. Ah well, I’m running Windows XP, I guess it’s time to upgrade.

I will probably just commandeer Hubby’s laptop temporarily while I saveup/decide which new model I want. In the meantime, yes I have made backups. :)

My biggest news is that I weighed in yesterday at 160.0 lbs. Don’t think I have been that size since 2008.

Since my family doctor discovered that I am really 5’4” instead of the 5’6” that I imagined myself to be, my goal weight must be 146 lbs. unless I get a note from my doctor saying 150 lbs. is okay.

I might as well go for the 146 and see how it goes.

My first personal goal is another 5% of body weight loss. That will take me to 152 lbs. and only 6 lbs. away from lifetime goalweight.

I am within striking distance!

Go go go StillOutThereTrying! Walk on old lady! Keep moving and trying no matter what!

This morning is my day off and I am treating myself to a facial. :)
