Honesty

Okay, I can't let it slide anymore.  I've fallen off the wagon.  I don't know what it is.  I'll do well and then just bam- I'll go back to being bad again.  I've written this in other blogs, but I just won't do it.  Is there anyone out there who is in my situation?  I know what I need to do and I tell myself that, but I won't!  How stupid am I.

I still feel like crap.  The doctor said I have a drainage problem and put me on nose spray, but so far I am not feeling better.  I guess I should give it a few days.

I know I am complaining.  I'm sorry.  Okay, on a lighter note.  I am going to get my hair done this weekend.  I think I am going to get red highlights!  Yeah me!  I'm going to get my nails done and hey, I may get a pedicure.  Big spender. 

Okay, I am giving my word to my follow EP bloggers- I will stay on target the rest of the week.

Have a good one.

Not feeling well!

I don't feel well at all.  Throat hurts.  Ear hurts.  Nose stuffed up.  And I have trapped gas!!!  Yuck! Yuck!  I'm leaving work early to go to the doctor.  I'm sure she will fix me right up. 

I got a little off points this weekend.  Having my husband home on the weekends makes it so hard for me to stay on track.  I must get better!

Well, I'll write more when I feel better.  I hope everyone has a great Monday!

Hello Everyone!

Well, today has been an okay day.  I'm a little tired today.  Having an intern in some ways is nice, but I get a little bored.  I've been OP today.  I've noticed when I drink my water, I feel less hungry.  It is such a struggle for me.  Somedays I do really well and others- I don't do so well.

I didn't get to workout yesterday.  I planned on it, but I ran out of time.  I did chase after my puppies, so I guess that counts as something.  I'll work out at Curves today, so I'll feel better.

I've noticed that the topic of maintenance has been a biggie today.  I am by no means where I want to be weight wise, but I have lost a lot of weight.  I still find it hard to see myself the way I really am.  I still see the old me.  I think that is why when people meet their goal weight, they think they should lose more.  We can't see the true us because we are used to the old us.  I used to get so mad at my mom because she would say she felt fat - she is at goal weight.  I never understood her until I looked at myself.  I didn't see the person other people see.  I see the girl who weighed 180.  I think everyone will struggle with maintenance because of how we view ourselves.

Happy Monday!

I think something is wrong with the site.  Anyhow, I've noticed several of you make goals for the week, so I decided I will do the same.

Goals for the week:

• Drink 64 oz of water a day
• Exercise 4-5 times this week
• Earn 10 APS this week
• Smile more

My new puppy is doing well.  She and my other dog are getting along just fine.  They are playing and acting so cute!  I'm glad they are meshing well.  I've been so worried about all the pet food recalls.  I feel so bad for those who have lost pets.

Have a happy Monday!

Spring Break!

I am on Spring Break and I am loving it.  I can't wait until summer!!  I have 11 weeks left of school!  Woo Hoo!  Well, I did the Denise Austin Boot Camp DVD yesterday!  I am very sore.  I think it will take me some time before I master it!

We got our Pug!  We changed her name to Zoe!  Isn't she cute?  She has been a handful, but I love her.  She is in to cords- like lamps and anyother type of cord.  We really have to watch her.  This isn't a great picture, but it does show how cute she is.  I also included a picture of her big brother Bruno. 

Boot Camp

I decided not to join the boot camp here, but I did buy a Denise Austin Boot Camp DVD.  I'm excited about it.  It should be in the mail today.  I'll have all of Spring Break to figure it out.  I am going to do it and Curves.  I think the added workout will help me out.  I think I am going to like the DVD because it has two 20 minute workouts, so you could do one or both in a workout.

Well, I am getting a pug this weekend.  It all happened so fast, but that's how it always happens.  She is 10 weeks old and her name is Molly.  I'm really excited to get her.  I hope my other dog likes her.  I am really concerned, but I think he will like her.  We shall see!  Have a nice day!!

Carrots Carrots and more carrots

For some reason I am on a carrot kick.  You know the little baby ones?  I just love them.  I am also on a Wendy's side salad kick- without the croutons of course and nonfat dressing.  It is so good.  I think it is because the weather is getting warm.  Things are going well for me.  Nothing to complain about.  I haven't lost any, but it is all my fault.  I feel much better and I'll just keep eating my carrots.

I've decided I want to get a puppy for my dog.  Sounds weird doesn't it?  Well, I want him to have someone to play with besides my husband and myself.  I want another dog to wear his little butt out.  I really want a pug!  I know they have breathing problems, but I just think they are so cute.  I want a little girl.  I hope to get her this summer.  My mother-in-law knows a breeder. 

Have a nice day!

Hmmmm....

I'm thinking about going through this boot camp.  It says you can lose 10-20 pounds in 6 weeks and up to 4 inches!  I think it will be exciting.  That would be so cool!  I mean I would work out like four times a work, but it would be hard work outs!  I think that would be so neat!  I need someone telling me to push myself!  Hee!

Okay, I am going to paint my toe nails.  I can't stand it anymore.  My mom has painted hers and she is wearing open toe shoes!  So, here I go!!  I am finally feeling better!  These past two weeks have been hard because I have felt like crap!

Come on with it!

No matter what I do, it seems like something always gets me off track.  I know what I need to do, but I just won't do it.  I then get mad at myself which makes me want to eat!  I just can't get my mind to do what it needs to do.  Ah!  I am so upset with myself.  I must get myself going.  I watched Oprah the other day and she said that she hated spending all of her 30's worried about her weight.  Well, I've spent all of my 20's worrying.  I don't want to keep doing this.  I am really down on myself today.  I don't feel pretty at all because I still have fever blisters and no matter how hard I try to hide them, they show.  Yucky- is my word of the day.

Sick

I have been really sick this week.  It started Monday.  I was perfectly fine and then around eight o'clock, I started throwing up and it just continued.  By the end of the night, I was still throwing up and had nothing in me.  Tuesday I went to the doctor and was told that I had a stomach virus and they give me a shot.  Oh my gosh!!  It hurt.  The nurse said it would burn a little- it hurt like crazy!!  I thought I was going to pass out.  So, I stayed home from work for three days.  Wednesday I broke out with fever blisters all on my mouth and nose!  To say the least I do not feel pretty.  The big kicker- I thought for sure I would lose weight.  I mean throwing up everything in you would make you lose at least a pound or two.   I GAINED THREE POUNDS!!!!  What is up with that?  I am so mad!  I worked really hard last week and I got sick and I GAIN??
