Well, that didn't work out quite right!

Blogging from bed!

Food wise, this weekend couldnt have gone more awry if I'd planed it that way!

Unexpected company Fri night led to chips, buffalo wing dip, beer, and brownies.

Sat we finished off the brownies, got into an argument with the hubby, ate chicken fingers and fries from Zaxbys, and rounded the night out with Taco Hell.... I mean Bell.

Today I are raisin bran with bananas and blueberries, and made Cheeseburger Hamburger Helper as a peace offering for my husband. We split a pint of Ben and Jerrys coffee/heath bar something. (hey, usually we have our separate pints, so thats a step in the right direction, right?)

So yeah, kinda a crappy weekend. And we're only 29 minutes away from the start of a crappy work week. I can't wait till we're back on a somewhat normal schedule and not dealing with this car/money crap all the time!

enough complaining.... Tomorrow is a new day! If I can't control anything else,i can control what I put in my mouth!...... Just not what comes out of it! LOL!

Take care everyone!

Yikes!

Can you believe it? Another post from me!

Weighed in today... up 2 lbs. Yeah, totally expected. Still sucks though! But, I've forgiven myself and moved on.

Why am I suprisingly ok with being up 2lbs? It's all good because I have gotten back in the game.

I have resumed tracking and making better choices. Lots of temptation today... bagels from Panera, leftover pizza, ice cream. I chose a Panera bagel for breakfast (french toast bagel is yummy!), for lunch I opted for a healthy and low carb vegtable soup and grapes from home, and have a healthy and hearty dinner planned for tonight (turkey breast, mashed potatoes, corn, and sliced tomatoes and cukes). I'm on plan and within my points. 

This weekend is going to be busy. We're going to the Bon Odori Festival tomorrow (Japanese summer festival), then checking out some gently used new-to-us vehicles and visiting with friends.


On a side note...
I'm so happy it's Friday and in two days the wretched month of July will be safely in the history books!

Hope ya'll have a lovely weekend... talk to you soon!

Testing

Downloaded the blogger app, trying to see if it works. So if you're sering this, apparently so!

now, can I add a pic?

If Chewy the wonder cat appears looking out the window, then I guess so.

Nifty!

Hey There!

Yeah, I know.... it's been awhile!

Ok. A looooooooong while.

But I wanted you to know I'm still here... maybe not here here... but here. I'm still reading your blogs and everything but (obviously) haven't been posting anything.

I am however, continuing to lose weight. Which is the important thing. As I mentioned a few months ago, I came to the realization that I wasn't doing very well on my own. So I joined Weight Watchers and am having pretty good results.

To date, I'm down to 261.2 lbs! 

The month of July has been pretty rough, I'm not gonna lie. The transmission in my Mustang went out (long story, but it's essentially due to a smooth move on my husband's part) which is costing us $4000. Yes. 4K. FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS.

It happened 4th of July weekend, and it STILL makes me wanna hurl just talking about it.

Thankfully, we've managed to work things out, borrow from Peter, to pay Paul, then borrow from Jeff, Frank and Steve to pay the Ford Dealership. With any luck, we'll be back in the Stang-a-lang by the beginning of next week.

All the money woes + splitting a car w/ the hubby (who works a different shift) have made for a very panicky, cranky, and at times depressed girl.

I can't lie.....food has been an issue this month. It's my go-to BFF when I need comfort. I've strayed (more than) a couple times (*cough cough* last night *cough cough*). I've also been doing a pretty crappy job of tracking my meals the past two weeks.

My weigh in is Friday. I'm expecting to be up... but I'm ok. This is life. I'm going to have good days and bad days and good weeks and bad weeks. Just because I get down and make some bad choices, it doesn't make me a failure. Before, when something would happen and my routine got shaken up - I couldn't pull myself back together. I'm getting better at forgiving myself.

I've realized that it can't be fluffy bunnies and rainbows all the time. Life happens. Shit happens. Sometimes your routine and everything else just falls apart. I'm learning that you've got to deal with it and get back on track as soon as you can.

In other news...well, there isn't much other news. Work still sucks, laundry replicates like wet gremlins. I'm still blogging on weight watchers, but I'm going to try and update this more as well. I'm going to attempt to download the app for my phone, so maybe I can do more on the fly. 

I'll post more soon! (I promise!)

love ya!
