People Can Be Toxic Too
I have lost three pounds in the last five days and I feel pretty good about it especially since I was eating everything I could get my hands on before the arrival of TOM. Some months I don't have this problem but other times--watch out. Being mindful of what I am putting in my mouth is helping also because I have been drinking so much water I haven't been drinking soda. The best part is that I have exercised every day since my last blog!! So that's five more dollars in my iPod fund!! I moved DH's OrbitTrek from the basement up two flights of stairs to the "workout room" so I have been walking 30 minutes on the treadmill and then doing 5 minutes on the OrbitTrek. I hope to work up to thirty minutes on the OT and then do an every other day thing with the treadmill and the OT.
I will now explain the title of my blog. On Friday I had some friends over for lunch. They are all teachers I worked with before I married and moved to the "farm" as people say. None of these ladies has ever been to our home before. Now let me just say that I am very proud of my house and I really love it. DH grew up here and has never lived anywhere else but we have added on and redecorated and even his family says it isn't Grandma's house anymore but they also like the changes. Well ToxicChick says "Why do the two of you need so much room?" and "This green paint in your great room has too much yellow in it" "Do you think you'll get the money you spent on the addition back when you go to sell?" and several other comments but here are two of my favorites. My good friend CIndy said "I love your outfit. It's really flattering." and TC says "That color is all wrong for you unless you're going to wear makeup." I was wearing makeup! The other favorite is "You really need to lose some weight, you're really starting to balloon up" Meanwhile my other guests are embarassed and I'm trying not to a) lose my temper or b) burst into tears. I managed to make it through lunch which I made and was pretty darn healthy and the rest of the visit and TC did lay off the comments but she won't ever be asked back! It really upset me because she's always like this with me and I do not know why. I will not let her get the better of me--I will not eat a gallon of ice cream or a can of frosting. I will not make a gigantic bowl of buttered noodles and eat them with a loaf of garlic bread.
Here are my positives for today: there's only one week left in my online class, my mom and I are going shopping tomorrow, I organized my pantry, all the laundry is done, my house is clean and I lost three pounds.
Wishing all of you a great Sunday!
