So my last post was almost a year ago. I remember posting a couple of days after I got my tonsils out. Boy did that suck. Well a couple of days after I wrote that post I broke up with my boyfriend of almost 4 years. I was messed up for a while and started doing some things I wasn't happy about (starting smoking is the worst...currently trying to quit) but since I was in so much pain from the tonsillectomy I didn't gain any weight...I actually kept loosing. Well a couple of months after the break up I decided that I was going to finish my early childhood development degree (I have a certificate). So I moved from Saskatoon to Edmonton all by myself. So here I am in Edmonton with only two friends. This is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life but I'm almost done (in April). Even though it is really hard I'm pretty proud of myself and it's something I needed to do to prove that I could do this on my own. So all my life I've had stomach problems....all the gross stuff...which I wont mention. So my sister mentioned that I could have a gluten sensitivity and to cut out all gluten products for a while. So I did and I started to feel better but I still was getting sick once and a while. I started to track what I ate and how I felt after and it was dairy that was making me feel sick. So this week I'm cutting out gluten and dairy and see how I feel. I already feel a lot better and it's only day one. Well I guess that's all for now...I'm sorry I fell of the planet for a while!
So here I am stuck at home for almost two weeks in blinding pain because I went and got my tonsils removed. If any of you experianced this procedure as an adult you can relate. Aparently getting it done as an adult is way worse then getting it done as a kid with a longer rocovery time. My throat is so swolen that I can't move my tounge. My ears burn and they feel like they're going to pop. The pain is even down in my jaw. The only time i can eat anything is 45min after I take two of my pain pills(actually the same ones that house uses..lol!!) and two extra strength tylonal. Then I can only eat jello or ice cream. So I got them out on thursday and since then I've lost 9 pounds..lol...the only positive side effect. I know it's temporary but it's nice. And I know I'm complaining about the pain but I'm happy that I finally got it done. Hopefully I wont catch every sore throat that goes around. I'm so immune to antibiotics that I have to pay 55$ for the expensive ones when I get sick. Well anyway I need to go take some pain pills...talk to you all later!
Hey everyone I'm sorry I haven't updated for such a long time. I just never really thought about posting anything. I kinda got off track for a bit but now I'm back and doing really good:) I actually joined Weight Watchers and it's been going really good. At the moment I'm living with my boyfriend at his parents house so I'm gratefull for any loss I've had since I moved here. It's been really stressfull on me. But I'm moving out into my own apartment, just me and my two cats! It's a bachelor apartment but I don't mind...it's mine and I can be in control of my environment for a change. Well hopefully I'll be in the routine of posting more often. I hope you're all doing good. I've missed you all!!
Hey everyone I hope things are going well for all of you. For just about the last 4 weeks I've had this really bad cold. Well in the last couple of weeks it's gotten really bad. I have a double ear infection and a respitory infection. Well this past weekend was Thanks giving for Canada and I missed both of the Thanksgiving dinners I was supposed to go to. I spent my whole weekend in bed resting. Well my weight loss is kinda on hold. I double checked and I haven't gained anything cause I'm not eating a lot cause of my cold...but I haven't lost anything either.
Well as soon as I feel 100% I'll start exercising again and actually try to loose weight. I'm sorry I haven't been posting on all of your blogs...I'll try to visit soon. Talk to you all later!!
Hey everyone. I'm sorry I haven't been making comments on everyones blog like I normaly do. I've been really busy lately with starting a new job. At the moment I'm on my coffee break. I have another pic from the shower that I want to share but I forgett how to put pics on my blog so if you know please tell me. So congrats to everyone who did well and if you feel you didn't do well just remember that "tomorow is another day"...LOL! Anywhoo I'm doing ok..I'm going to start adding exercising again probably tomorow. I don't want to over do it...my boyfriends is going to buy a pass to the leasure centre and hes going to start going with me so that'll be fun. Well I gtg so talk to you all later:)
Hey ladies! So I'll update you on what is going on. I was going to be starting work at my old daycare (YWCA) in October. But unfortunatly someone who already was on the union decided to take the job. So I figured that since I was feeling better I might as well start looking for a job. So I applied to a few daycares and went to a couple of interviews on Thursday. Well the one daycare that I liked called me Thursday night and offered me a job. Well I took it of course. Then over the weekend I got a bad sinus infection that is finally going away. Well I'm sitting here really nervous cause I have to leave in like 30min. I've been at home for almost 4 months so going back to work is really weird. I know I'll be fine and that the kids will like me. I'm going to be with pre-schoolers...not to sure if it's the younger pre-schoolers (3/4 year olds) or the older pre-schoolers (4/5 year olds). I'm comfortable with both age groups but I can't help but be scared. Oh and I weighed in today and I lost 2lbs....I need to work harder cause I know I can do better then that. I'm still happy though. Well ladies wish me luck and I'll talk to you all later!
So here is a pic of the stagette....it's the only pic of me. I didn't even remember someone taking it. I hope you can see my new hair cut. The back is really short...like the nape of my neck. I'm still recovering. Aparently alcohol and hyperacidity really don't mix. But I'm starting to feel better. Anyway I'll introduce the sisters. The blond on the left is Chris, she is 19 years old and is my step-sister. The next one is me:) Next is Sarah she is 28 years old and is my only sibling that has the same mom and dad as me...she is also the one getting married. The one on the right is Kim, she is 18 years old and is also my step-sister. So Kim and Chris are sisters with another younger brother, Brad-12 years old. And Sarah and I are sisters. So sarah's and my mom married chris, kim, and brad's dad. I hope that makes sense. Anwhoo I'm going back to the gym tomorow. I need to get my but in gear. Oh the dress is from Addition Elle and was regulary 79.99$ but I got it on sale for only 10 bucks!! I know so cool! Talk to you all tomorow:)
Well everyone I'm glad to report that I survived the weekend!! It all started friday where my 18yo step-sister Kim and I ran around the city getting stuff for the shower. I was so tired. That night we drank lots of wine and ate pizza. The next day was the shower. We were up at 9 and started decorating...just Kim and I did all that cause the other 19yo old sister/step-sister(chris) had to work. Kim and I got our hair done at 12. I cut off a ton of hair and went dark brown with some golden undertones. It's really short in the back and gets longer towards the front. I got complements all night! Then we got our makeup done for free at shopers which was cool. Then we got home and had to set up all the food. I made my chocolate fountain and yes i did have a little bit....I didn't go overboard thankfully. Anywhoo people were ariving and I was running around in my jeans and a t-shirt. Did I mention my older sister sarah decided to call it the "little black dress afair"? Well everyone was supposed to wear black dresses. I was the last one to get dressed of course. Anyway I wasn't going to buy a dress cause I can't really afford it but I decided to go to addition elle anyway. I tried on a few dresses that Kim picked out. I found an amazing dress that was origionaly 79.99$ you'll never guess what I paid for it!! I got it for 10$!!! It's rare that you find a really nice plus-size dress for only 10$!! So anyway we went on the pub crawl and drank a lot. I didn't feel to bad the next day a bit of a headach and that was all. I feel worse today now that my body is detoxing. I'm drinking a lot of water and tea so hopefull I'll feel better soon. I'm taking the day off from exercise to give me some time to recover. But tomorow I'm back in the gym. Anyway I had a ton of fun. Almost all the guests came up to me and told me how much fun they had and how we did such an amazing job. That was all I wanted was for the guests and more importantly my sister to have a fun time. Well I'm going to go lay down for a nap. Talk to you all later!!
Hey everyone I hope you're all doing better then I am. I've been so busy, helping plan this shower that I'm going to have a break down! I spent 2 hours this morning looking for the tube part of my chocolate fountain only to find it stuck to the back side of the styrophome! I could have thrown it out the window..but I already bought the chocolate for it. Ya 40$ worth of Lindt dark and milk chocolate...and I can't have any!!! Oh well the guest will enjoy it. So we were shopping for decorations yesterday (step-sisters and I) and we were so hungry! So we went to boston pizza. I actually did good...I had lime shrimp at 210 calories and a salad with raspberry dressing for 130 calories. That would have put me under by about 500 calories and I know going under is just as bad as going over so I had a big mug of beer It was really good and it put me to my minimum calories that I needed for the day.
So I probably wont be posting till sunday...tomorow is the shower in the afternoon then in the evening were going on a pub crawl for the stagette. I haven't drank alcohol in forever...(not counting that beer at bp's) So hopefully I wont spend too much money. Oh and my mom is comming on the pub crawl and bringing one of her friends!! My mom is 49(almost 50) and her friend is I believe 35...so for all you people that say you're too old to do something...take the advice from my mom..."Growing old is manditory...growing up it optional" She still has fun and goes ski-dooing every winter. Anywhoo I need to get a ton of stuff ready to take over and I still have to pack and go shopping for more stuff. It sucks that I'm spending my money on stuff that I can't even have...oh well. Have a wonderfull weekend ladies!
Hey everyone, just a quick post. I'm getting packed to go to my step-dads cabin. I'm going with my mom and my whole step-family so it should be fun. It sure beats staying at home alone...my BF is gone to his families cabin for his yearly "guys only" weekend. It's nice that this year I actually have something to do. The only thing I'm worried about is leaving my cats alone. I know it's only 3 nights but I've never left them alone before. I left out a ton of food and water so I know they'll be ok but I cant help but worry...they're my babies:) Anywhoo I should get a move on...have a good weekend ladies and watch out for "bad" long-weekend food! Oh and stay safe too!
It was really good and it put me to my minimum calories that I needed for the day.
