Hello ladies! Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas! Mine, actually turned out to be great! It was full of family, my best friend and happyness. We had Christmas dinner at my house and my grandmother cooked and although it wasn't the healthiest it was good none-the-less. This time I didn't bring ANYTHING home! No pie, no nothing. No temptation, so no bad eating. Although I was strapped for cash my Christmas was blessed and that's all that really matters. My nephew loved his gifts and so did my mom and grandmother, so it was worth it. So, I just need the next week to pass so I can get paid again! Lol.
The eating front is deteriorating. I don't know what my deal is. Actually, I do. I've been emotionally eating and it's spiraling out of control. On the drive back here from home I had McDonalds..I haven't ate that in MONTHS!! Ugh. It was gross and I knew I shouldn't have ate it so I ate half and just threw it out. I even had a REGULAR soda...WTF?! I haven't had that in AGES! I was out of control. I did it because I was really depressed about leaving home and being broke.Then today at work the break room saga continued. Chocolate candies and pop corn. I didn't eat too bad because I felt bloated and stuff all day although I hardly ate anything. I only got half of my water intake in, no bueno.
Not having my gym open is really heading my progress. The home workouts are ok but it's just not the same.I have tile floors and I live on the top floor, my neighbors aren't too happy with my 60 minute workouts. Blah...
Just excuses...I know.
For dinner I'm having turkey burgers on wheat bread and raw carrots.
I haven't weighed in since the gym is closed when I get off so I have NO idea how much I weigh, but I know I've had a gain. That's ok, I'll take that because next week starts my plan of action!
Ok, Im off to finish my dinner.
Today's Quote: Clogged with yesterday's excess, the body drags the mind down with it. ~Horace
Hello ladies! Sorry I've been MIA...Finished up with school, started working and commuting, now I'm home for Chirstmas.
I'm gonna be honest. I was doing so well on the weightloss, eating right front up until today. I gave in, I had a sourdough jack from Jack in the crack. I couldn't help it. I have been having a tough time since being home and I was hungry coming back from the bank and fell victim to J&C. Ugh. Oh well.
God has been really testing me lately. I always say I have faith that can move mountains, now I guess he's testing me to see if it's true. I believe that everything happens for a reason and nothing lasts longer than a season. But I almost questioned him last night..Why me? But my friend was in the car and told me "You never question you, just learn from whatever it is you're going through and weather that storm." So right now, I'm weathering a storm. It's a tough one that has me over emotional but I'll be fine.
My mom is having a really tough time finacially and she's so bummed about not being able to give my nephew (who she raises) and me a good Christmas. I'm grown, I don't need anything presents under the tree but my nephew is only 7, so he is still just a kid. So yesterday I was out all day Christmas shopping for him and my family. I don't have tons of money but I had enough to make sure he got the things he wanted. Today my mom just broke down and was telling me everything. I feel so helpless..There's nothing I can do to help her, do you know how bad that makes me feel?!
Then this morning I take my car into the shop to see what's wrong with it..It's a brand new car, about a year old and it was making this awful screeching noise....My breakpads were completely gone, so I had to shell out $150 to get them fixed. All I could do is pray. I was thankful I had the money in my savings account to pay for it but I just couldn't understand why now..Christmas EVE??
*sigh* I been on the verge of tears all weekend but I'm suriving. I know trouble doesn't last always so I will be ok. Please pray for me.
I don't wanna make this a woe-is-me post so I'm gonna end it now. Just had to clear my head, my heart is kind of heavy right now.
I hope you all have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and don't eat too much! Enjoy your family and friends and count your blessings. 'Tis the season!
Hello ladies..Sorry I haven't been around. Work's been crazy, the commute is tiring me out and by the time I get home I just want to sit my [fat] ass on the couch and chill. Also I've been reflecting so I just wanted to record some stuff before I crash.
TGTIF = Thank God Tomorrow Is Friday!
I had a wake up call. All of you that have lost a lot of weight and are really determined often talk about your's. You all have that "moment," that moment where you know that losing weight is the only option for you. There was a defining moment that told you, the weight you were at is not good and needs to be changed.
I knew I needed to lose weight because the number on the scale but I always thought I looked cute....for a big girl. I always thought I had a cute face and that made up for it. I thought losing weight was just a bonus not really necessary...Until recently I'd go to the club and all my friends would get hit on and approached by guys...but I wouldn't. It hurt but I'd get over it...because I still had a bf to go "home" to. But everytime we'd go it'd hit me harder and harder. The last time...about 2 weeks ago for my roomate's b-day parties was the hardest. It sucked but I still got over it.
But I think I've had that "moment." Yesterday I was looking at pictures of myself that were taken last week from my friend's get together. EW,EW,EW is all I can say. They were candid pictures so they caught me in the moment...Not posed or sucking it in or having my hand go across my stomach or any other pose I've perfected to look smaller in pictures..Lets just say I was disgusted..I was totally in awe of myself...How could I get like that..How could I be mediocorely trying to lose weight and not damn near starving myself at the rate I'm going. I remember when I was younger I told my BFF to shoot me if I ever go over 200lbs...Well, by that comment I should be shot. Those pictures were definately a wake up call!
But the true "moment" was when I was on the phone with my bf and I was telling him how disgusting I looked in the pictures and he was being his sweet self that I love him for...Saying stuff like "You're not fat, you carry youself so classy,etc.." then I said how much do you think I weigh....he wouldn't say it at first because he thought I'd be offended but I begged him to give me his true opinion and he said........200lbs. OMG! My heart was crushed. I knew I was "big" but I didn't think I looked like I weighed that much..Maybe because I'm not good at guessing weight or I was fooling myself...Either way I was shocked. It was like an all time low....I asked him how he could be with someone that weighed 200lbs and he said "I love you and you are beautiful and you're trying..you're doing something about it and I support you" insert aw moment. But I was so bummed I didn't even accept it, I merely got off the phone and went to sleep.
I woke up this morning with a new outlook.
THERE IS NO [MORE] EXCUSES!! No more I'll get on track next week. I don't have what I need to lose weight, I don't have time, the gym is not open. NONE OF THAT! I cannot continue like this. I know I'm beautiful but my body is not giving that perception because of my weight. People are shallow, they can't see past it. Hell, I can't see past it.
So today...I stayed on menu. I didn't eat anything off menu. I drank 64 oz. of water. I walked a mile at work. 3 laps around the whole building is a mile...I walked it!
I'm gonna start WW in January because they are having a no registration fee promo. But I will be well on my way by then!
I could have wallowed in self pity...but that would have only made me fatter. So I'm doing something with that wake up call!
I want my boyfriend to see a sexy hot girlfriend, someone he is even more proud to have on his arm. I want to be able to wear sexy stuff for him and not be ashamed. I want to be able to wear bikini's with my friends during the summer and spring break. I want to try on clothes and not worry about a roll showing. I want to be healthy!
This is my season!! This is my time! I'm gonna shine!!
Have a good weekend ladies...I'm headed "home" for Christmas holiday. If I survive that I will be great!
Today's quote:

Hello ladies! Hope you all are having a fabulous week. I'm still adjusting to working 8 hours a day, fighting traffic for an hour and a half and waking up at the ass crack of dawn. Ugh. Other than that, I'm just fine.
So, it's 11pm, I just finished working out and I feel it's too late to be eating dinner. We all know my deal with eating before a workout, so I didn't. I sat on the couch and watched TBL finale! Although I didn't watch a single show all season, I saw the finale and it was just as inspirational. I really wanted the blonde on the black team to win. After I watched TBL finale I did my 50 workout DVD*. So I will eat a piece of a chicken breast and call it a night. I don't want to go to sleep on a full stomach.
*I stopped by Ross on my way home from work and they had TONS of work out DVD's...Belly dancing, hip hop, walk away fat, ultimate body workout,etc...I got the the 2 latter. They were only $3.99 & $4.99. So if you need work out DVD's go to your local Ross. I had a giftcard for something I returned and used some of it on my work out dvd's...One mission accomplished!
My lesson learned today: Don't under estimate the workout DVD's! It had me sweating and breathing hard and everything. And its way harder to work out on tile floor than carpet. And don't do it barefoot either...Even at home you gotta work out with shoes...And that's today's lesson students!
The breakroom snacks saga continues..Today was Shipley's and cake. Like wtf is that about?! WHHHY are they doing this to me? My coworker was like we haven't had this much food in so long...Why would they choose to when the girl who has no willpower with foods and mindless eating habits comes back to work?! *sigh* Lets just say I fell victim to a piece of cake and 6 donut wholes. I just couldn't stop eating the donut wholes..It's like my body was like "ooow I love these havent had them in a while, neeed more!" and my mindless self just listened. I need to make notecards like another EP'er does. Because this is just ridiculous. Tomorrow there is no mindless eating. Sad part is I BRING 100 cal snacks to work...Gotta stay focused.
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day at work so hopefully I won't have to eat the junk.

Breakfast: 100% fruit juice and applesauce

Today's quote: Bigger snacks mean bigger slacks. ~Author Unknown
If I eat any more chicken [which I will] I will fly away! By the end of the week I'm sure I'll have grown feathers, wings and will by flying away with all the chicken I'm eating.
Minus the mess up this morning and the awful chocolates my job had lying around I stuck to plan.
Breakfast- Peanut butter crackers and 100% fruit juice (woke up too late to make my eggs or eat my cereal.)
Snack-chips..awful I know but Ionly had a handful so that was about 170 cal :X
Lunch:grilled chicken, yams & green beans
Snack: Granola bar
Dinner: Baked chicken, yams and an orange
Today at work we had an employee come back from Hawaii and she brought chocolates back and my co worker had a whole box..She doesn't like milk chocolate and offered me some...4 pieces later I decided I'd had enough. Sad to say it was about 400 calories :( I also fell victim to chips in the breakroom. Crazy thing is I didn't even think about what I was putting into my mouth until I realized I was enjoying it too much and so it probably wasn't good for me. What's with this thoughtless eating?? I put so much effort and thought into my menu ONLY to be victim to thoughtless eating of breakroom snacks, ugh! I understand they're being nice but it's not good for people like ME!
Anyone else battle with this??? Please say I'm not the only one!
Tomorrow's menu will include chicken SALAD for lunch and hopefully I'll get up early enough to make breakfast cause I sure didn't today. Oops!
Wins for today:
Sticking to my menu
Opportunities:
Say NO to break room snacks!
Drink 64oz of water, NOT 20!
Find more variety to eat before boredum kicks in
Exercise
Although I only had 1 win for today, it was a big one for me so I'm happy. I'm going to stop by Ross and see if the have any work out tapes. They have good diet books and dvd that are inexpensive. Which reminds me, I'm going to bring out my diet book I bought from there and USE IT! I'll update you guys on that tomorrow. I was too tired after 8 hours of work and an 1.5 hour of driving to stop by the store today. I'll do some plyometrics in my living room for exercise tonight.Tomorrow I'll get a tape to do some work out. I have carmen electra's strip tease work out DVD's from when a friend burned them for me years ago...Maybe i'll bring those out! Laugh if you want but they are a good work out..And the moves can be used ;) JK..Ok maybe just partly, LMAO.
Ok, I'm extremely tired...Now I see why I was in no rush to go back to work...I had 50 cases on my desk waiting to be completed and sent off. Nevermind doing others work they never find time to do *rolls eyes*
Hope you guys had a great day. I have to remember to make my doctor's appt. tomorrow.
Today's quote: What are stumbling blocks and defeat before you, can be stepping stones to victory if you remain determined.
Hello ladies! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Other than TOM ruining mine, it was ok.
Tomorrow starts my work week. I haven't been to work in about 3 months, it's going to an adjustment. But this also gives me the chance to put my weightloss plan into action!
I've made a meal plan and I'm about to cook the stuff needed. So I can just pack up plates and take them for lunch everyday. It's healthy, affordable and quick!
Any suggestions for lean meat other than chicken breast?
I have 6 pieces of chicken I'm going to grill and either cut up and put in a salad or eat with veggies. I'm going to rotate special k cereal and scrambled egg whites for breakfast along with fruit. So, I have my eating on plan I just need to find a way to work out. The gym is on holiday hours which is 11a-6p. I'll be at work during those hours so I can't go to the gym. I'll have to buy a workout DVD since it's too cold to run outside. Any suggestions?
Also there's a bottle at wal mart that is 64oz whcih is what is needed for my daily intake of water. I'm going to buy that and fill it up to make sure I'm getting my daily dose of water. Because with bottles I can easily drink one and forget it. Also I throw a lot of bottles away, so I'm just going to buy the gallon on water, which is cheaper then bottles and just refil my bottle everyday.
TOLD YALL I HAD PLANS!
Wish me luck and pray for me. I'm off to cook my chicken breasts.
Have a great week!
**EDIT*
I got all my food for the week cooked!! I baked 2 chicken breast, I grilled 2 chicken breast, and cut 2 chicken breast up and marinated them in the pot for my salads. I also made green beans and yams for dinner tonight and made a plate for dinner tomorrow or lunch at work. I'm feeling pretty good about myself...Now if only those dishes would wash themselves I'd be good.
I've decided to make a doctor's appt while I'm on my break. My mom keeps b$*^#@ at me to do so because my foot has this nerve that has stopped me from wearing normal shoes because of the pain and my weight. She wants to know if my steady high blood pressure is an indicator in something serious going on that also may account for the weight flucuations and why it's so hard for me to lose with working out 50 mins atleast 3 x's a week. I don't know what he'll say but it's worth a try. High blood pressure and diabetes run in my family so I do want to get that checked out. I'll let you guys know when my appt is.

Hello ladies! Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend. Mine could be a lot better but I'm blessed and thankful so I will not dwell on it. Mkay? Kay!
The Christmas party was last night [Friday night] and I indulged. Almost made it through the whole party without any sweets [only because I didn't know where they were] only to find them near the end. And of course I had to get some. I ate 1/2 a browie and 1/2 a piece of cake. I had a whole piece of each on my plate but refused to eat it all. They also served dinner. I got little portions of everything so I could try it all. I had 3 meatballs, 1/2 cup of chicken pasta, corn, a piece of brisket..not too bad but I had 2 cups of champange AND a soda. I haven't had a real soda in so long but they had no diet, boo! But I made up for it by having 30 oz of Dasani water after I discovered it in a cooler hid with the catering people. They were so fricking lazy, they didn't bring it out because they were too lazy SITTING ON THE DAMN COOLERS INSTEAD, argh! Oh well. Not my problem. I danced and walked from 10p-3a so I burned some calories.
Todays eating = bad.
Went to a chinese buffet..Food wasn't good so I only had one plate I picked over. Then went to a babyshower and they had bbq. So I had a few pieces of sausage, brisket and a piece of bread. Had 1/2 a cup of regular soda because again that was the only option and my mouth was burning. What's up with the lack of options for those eating healthy? I guess I'm picky.
My problem came when I got home. TOM is here and in full effect & heavier than ever. I got cramps and my moods and emotions are all over the place. I hate to admit but I'm a tad of an emotional person. So today I found myself wanting to cry at the drop of a hat. My roomate's best friend was with us so my roomate was acting weird and I just didn't like her attitude, I felt like me being around was bothering her. So I decided to drive an hour and half back home at 8pm in the freezing dark. That set me off and made me want to cry because I've been feeling like I've lost any real friend connections I've had. Just associates and that sucks. So I'm home all alone with my my dog and he's sleep. BF is out with friends and that set me off because I'm home bored and now have noone to talk to. So I turned my cellphone off and withdrawing myself from the world. HA!
I'll be better tomorrow. I just gotta shake this crap.
The above feeling led me to emotional eating when I got home [yay for me identifying that] My roomate left a paradise pie and ice cream from Chili's in the fridge and I dove right into it. I know that thing is over 1000 cal..Yea you read that right. Almost went to the restroom but I resisted that urge. No bueno then I added a smirnoff on top of that. That's atleast a 1lb gain FOR THE DAY. Gotta get on plan tomorrow. I will be at the gym or running, no excuses! Please remind me of that!
It seems that a few of us are having problems keeping our eating in control. We have to be STRONG and stay focused through this holiday season. 9 more days and it'll be OVER and we can get back down to business!
Christmas is 9 days away and I haven't bought 1 gift. Other than the Christmas tree staring at me I wouldn't know it was so close. Family back home is going through somethings so my mom is bummed and I know it's not going to be a good holiday for us. I'm already setting myself up for it. Debating if I even want to go home. I can wallow in my own pity, no need to add other's to my own....We'll see though.
Went to Target today...They have pj pants for 7.99- I HAD to pick me up a pair. They cyan blue with white polka dots..They're comfy and warm ;)
My feet are swollen, I can tell my trying to bend my toes..Maybe it's all that damn sodium I've consumed this weekend. Which reminds me to schedule my doctors appt for my feet. I can't wear any shoes but slide ins or flips because the side of my feet have a nerve or something that sends sharp pains up my leg.
I'm really not as bad off as my post sounds...I just post whatever comes to head. Please don't take my post as pity party, I'm a very happy girl. But life throws hurdles at you and this blog is my overcoming them.
On that note, I'm gonna lay here and watch mindless TV until I get sleepy..Hopefully I don't toss and turn all night like Tracy ;)
Today's quote: Don't dig your grave with your own knife and fork. ~English Proverb
I have finished this semester of school alive! With a few more grey hairs but I made it...I'm sad because I really wanted to make the dean's list but I'm .1 short. I made a 3.4 instead of a 3.5 needed. Boo! I really wish I would have made it but a 3.4 isn't shabby itself. I'm proud of myself still.
Today is my roomate's mom's Christmas Extravangza..Not a party but an extravaganza! LOL. It should be fun. It was last year. I'm just gonna try not to go overboard but withholding myself from anything is just torture. So I won't even try.
Didn't make it to the gym all week :( So I was too scared to do WI today. I'm a punk, I know. I'll weigh in Monday when I go back to the gym.
Since school is out for a month and I won't have that added stress I can focus on weightloss and work. I'm going to be working 40 hours a week over the break, with an hour commute each way. So I'll probably just do my hour workout after work. I won't have anything else to do. But on the flip side that will leave time for snacking and munching. Gotta find something to do with my access time. I wish I could travel, that would be nice. Ah, such is life.
With this extra time I plan to lose atleast 5lbs before school starts in January. Wish me luck.
Thanks for all your advice on my last post. I wasn't too sad just frustrated with all the info coming at me. I'm just going to do WW in January and until then just portion control and 64 oz of water daily. That has been good to me so far.
Ok, I gotta get my eyebrows done for the party, g2g.
Hello ladies! EP is having some problems I'm guessing. Not many comments and people hardly updating and even when I go to click on comments to return them I just get lead back to my blog page. Hmph, I hope EP fixes this soon!
So as my title states I have some confessions to make:
I'm laking motivation terribly, I haven't been to the gym all week. I even had the opportunity today but after staying up way past 3am studying I took a 6 hour nap after I got home from taking my test. Sad part is, I knew I needed and should go and would even feel good after I went but I kept sitting here watching TV. Boo!
I also haven't made or eaten according to menu plans this week. I also haven't had nearly enough water. WTF is up with me?! I was doing so well last week. I'm not depressed or sad. Ok, that's partly a lie but I don't want to have a pity party on here agin. Lets just say shopping with thin friends is NOT fun! Especially when you're trying to find "something sexy" for a party. But I lived through it and hopefully I won't have to feel that way again.
I have an awful sweet tooth. It's not because TOM is coming because it's all month long. Although he's due next week. And I think my roomate is out to sabotage me. She cooks sweets and buys sweets all the time. She eats whatever the hell she pleases, she's only 98lbs! So she cooked a delciious yellow cake today...Lets just say I've had more than 1 piece, ugh! Atleast I cut them really small *hangs head* Yea, no bueno. Nevermind the Christmas candy she has sitting all over the house. Ugh! Whhhhy me?!
Those are just my confessions from this week. Why can't I just get with something and stick to it? Why do I always fail myself? It's like I know all the hidden calories in these foods I've grown to love oh so much but don't know how serious it is to stop from putting it in my mouth. Well, this usually happens when my healthy food starts running low. Or I'm too lazy to fix or the smart one just doesn't appeal to my taste buds, which is usually.
Today I was reading my Women's Health magazine, trying to motivate myself to go to the gym [which obviouslly never happened] and read some good stuff. It had the 10 Roadblocks to weightloss. It had really good things in there. It was saying don't cut your sleep short to work out early in the morning because sleep is more vital to weightloss than that early morning work out. I know some of you do that and I'm not saying it's wrong but it makes me feel better about my late night workouts.
So I'm constantly reading up on losing weight the right way and what to eat, etc...but I think my problem is I'm becoming overwhelmed. I'm reading that fiber helps...so have x amount of fiber a day, then I read something that says potassium is needed in your diet to lose weight, so put x amount in your diet..Then I read something about the standardized 64oz of water a day isn't so "fit" for everyone so drink x amount of oz of water for every __ amount of minutes you are working out or doing activity. It's like I don't know how to make a diet that incorporates ALL that and what food has what. It's like Im walking around the grocery store lost. I end up spending way too much money and a week later I feel like I have no food which results in poor eating choices. Then I read that to figure out how many calories you need to have a day is to take your body weight x 100 and then add your body weight to that total..Well that's almost 2300 cal a day for me. And I feel like that's WAY too many calories for me a day. Granted I know that's supposed to be in veggies and fruits but MY GOD! This is all so frustrating.
See why I need intervention? I don't think I'm at the point in my life where I have the time and effort needed to do my diet alone. It's just not possible with the kind of work schedule I'm about to have [40 hours a week] plus taking 16 hours of school. I'm barely going to have time to exercise. I also feel like with the amount of calories I'm burning while working out I should see more results, but I don't think so. I was also reading that if you are gaining weight after workouts then you are drinking TOO MUCH water..WTF?! How can you have TOO MUCH water? See why I get frustrated so fast! It's like damned if I do, damned if I don't.
Is WW the way for me? Is JC the way for me? Is a doctor/medical center the way for me? WHO KNOWS! But I know come January I'm going to find out because this is ridiculous to me. I've been given SO MUCH insight I don't know what to do with it all. I'm a generation X baby to the fullest. I want a diet to follow put right in front of me so I know what and when to eat what. When given that, I did so much better, But I feel that's a sign of laziness. Lord help me! lol.
There is always an ad for a weightloss center about 45 minutes away and I'm so tempted to get a consultation. It's by a professional team of doctors with a staff and they have many different programs to tailor to each person...Or atleast that's what the website said, I'm always so skeptical of that because I did that in highschool and once I quit taking pills I gained it all back. So I want to know if they do it by pills or is it by diet planning...It's worth a shot huh? I think if I get jump started on something that is going to work I'll be more apt to stick with it and maintain...Am I just gassing myself up?
*waves that away*
Ok,here's today's food log:
Breakfast: OJ
Lunch: grilled chicken salad with honey mustard dressing :X
Dinner: enchilada casserole and juicey juice :X Atleast I got in my vitamin C!
Snack[s]: 1 pieces of cake, a piece of chocolate
Blah, it's just not too good for me. Here's to working out twice tomorrow for some damage control.
Today's Quote: "Good choices come from experience. Experience comes from bad choices."
I'm a procrastinator *hangs head* Yes, me. I never do anything I'm supposed to until the last minute. Don't believe me? Let me give you a few examples...
My final portfolio was due today at 3p.m....I didn't start working on it until 1:30p.m and had to RUN IT TO HER OFFICE at 3, she was picking them up as I was dropping mine down. She says "You almost didn't make the cut!" I wanted to say "ya think!"
I've known about my final project in my other class for 3 weeks, I've known about my cumulative final in spanish for atleast 3 weeks...Have I studied or started to project, OF COURSE NOT! So today will be spent doing the project and studying probably until the unGodly hours of the morning...Procrastination much?
And those are just 2 examples from today! Imagine everyday of my life. I spend my life in a rush, lol. Atleast there's never a dull moment, huh?!
Yesterday was the bf and I's 2 year anniversary. *gasp* Yea, I never thought that the first guy I dated in college would be the last. He's grown and matured a lot, the only reason we're still together. Because at first, he was gonna be a "occupy my time" kinda guy. But the funny thing is when we first started dating he said "I'm gonna be around longer than any of your other boyfriends" guess he wasn't lying about that. Next semester is going to hard for us, he starts the police academy in January and I will be going through some stuff as well. Pray for us! So for our anniversary he came up and stayed with me. We watched movies and hung out. Nothing extravagant but I don't need all that and plus it's finals week. We'll do something over the Christmas break.
On the weightloss front:
Didn't get to work out yesterday due to bf's arrival. Was trying to go before he got there but I ended up cleaning up and washing clothes. Doesn't look like I'll make it today with all the stuff I gotta do for tomorrow. If I finish my project early I will run off to the gym for an hour break and then come back and study for the rest of the night.
I'm preparing myself for either a gain on WI on Friday. I haven't exercised and although I haven't eaten terribly, I haven't ate wonderfly either. Which brings me to fess up time.
