Has anyone read Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day? It was a book my sister read to her kids when they were little when they were having a bad day. Anyway, I have a copy of the book because I loved the story. Today I had an Alexander day. Starting this morning when I was cleaning out the frig so I could go to the market. Well, I put some lunch meat down the disposal and both sides clogged up. Then I was moving some plants and broke a pot, I went to my sisters to find a plumbers snake (couldnt' find it) and then when I started my car it made this really bad noise and all the dash lights lit up, so I went to Sears. They thought it was the battery so they charged it for an hour. It wasn't the battery, it was the altenator (sp)....so they put in a new one. Told me it would be two hours.. 2 turned into a total of 5....I missed my spinning class, dinner with friends and couldn't fix the sink. Had to call my landlord about the sink and she at least was fine with it. Good news, tho. I went for a walk to the end of Santa Monica Pier. Everyone was eating ice cream and it looked sooooo good. I was a good girl and didn't get any. By the time I got home at 8, I was starved. My friend, Bay, fixed me a plate from dinner and I didn't eat ALL of it. I saved 1/2 for my lunch tomorrow.
I think I will go to bed now and pass out. Thanks for listening to my tales. I hope you all had a great Sunday.
I know I wasn't great this week where food is concerned, but I gained!!!! I am so disgusted with myself. None of my clothes fit and you would think I would do something about it!!! As Karrie knows, I bought new clothes last weekend and am really looking forward to wearing them (after shortened)...now I am afraid that they won't fit! I don't know what the problem is - I eat fairly healthy during the day and then collapse at night.
My goal this week is to move more. I plan on spinning tomorrow and then will decide what to do next. I have so many dvds but now can't seem to get the dvd player to work with my dvr/tv. I think I will have to use my computer until I can figure it out.
Thanks for letting me vent...this is what it is all about, right? If I can't vent here, where can I????
So I had this whole thing typed and then hit submit, and my computer totally froze!! I hate that! I lost a really good post. Anyway, Karrie told me to come and check in, so here I am.
It has been a really stressful week...shorthanded, crazy phones and trying to do the work of 4 people...ugh! Food has been a challange...specifically sweets. I am fine during meal time, but afterwards, I go searching for something sweet, which I can always find without too much trouble. Tonight, though, I thought I would have something sweet, but decided to have some decaf tea which seems to be doing the job. A little Splenda and creamer and I am good. Now it is too late to eat anything else.
Anyway, I am hoping for a good WI on Saturday, and using some of my flexpoints at dinner!!! BTW, I found a great crock pot recipe that is core if anyone wants it...just let me know.
I am doing to go enjoy my tea, watch TV and relax a bit before starting the craziness again tomorrow.

This is my first post on my blog. I got on the scale today for the first time in many weeks. Because it is "Show" time, I haven't really been watching what I eat. It is so stressful and busy, I just eat whatever is around, which is mostly sandwiches and See's candy. I couldn't believe that I am back to my starting point of 7 years ago. I knew I was close to that number, but this does not make me happy. I am going to go to my meeting on Saturday and pretend that I am just starting the program and begin at the beginning. I do not like this feeling at all. Between the weight and the hot flashes, I could scream!!! I WILL lose the weight and fit back into my clothes that are sitting in the closet!!
