I got my freaking 65# star!!! yay! I was down -2.0 today and that shoved me to a 66.6# loss ... yay!!! I am VERY happy and SUPER excited about getting as near to the 140's as I've been in a VERY long time....
had to work today - what else is new?? Going to the gym tonight and keep up the good work so I can get to the goal of 140 as soon as I can! Only 11.8# to go to goal! I am tickled purple!! ( i like it better than pink!)
work called, gotta go in for a couple of hours - no biggy, they'll get me out as soon as it mellows out - if it does, but i'll be outta there by 2p for sure! Then i'll hit the gym by 3:15 or so ...
Lost 1.4 this week YAY!!!! I love it ... I can taste my 65# star ... it's mine mine mine dammit, next week!!!! Cya's later, gotta get in mah scrubs and go smoosh puppies & kitties!
I did have plans with some friends to go to Downtown Disney (shopping and food places) but we had to cancel unfortunately - but since it's Spring break week and Easter, it's probably a good thing we didn't go - but I had requested Saturday off to do that, so I am just going to take the day off regardless ... I could use a two day in a row break lol.
Working my butt off at the gym 5nights a week still and am up to doing an hour most nights on the treadmill - so I'm really happy with that. But man I am tired some nights and can just about collapse after my shower LoL
Tomorrows WI and I really really hope to see some results; I was so PISSED last weekend when I went UP 0.4 ... grrrrrrrrrr.... but the scale is showing a downward slide, so that's good.
Have a great weekend and Easter! :D
and on and on ... So i go to WI on Saturday, so sure that I have a loss, as I have been working out like crazy and counting point upon point and making better choices.... much to my chagrin, i was UP 0.4... urgh!!! But here's the kicker .. On Sunday morning, the day after WI - my scale says 152.2!?!?!?!? What gives??? LOL ... Anyway ... I am happy that it's going down and of course, it had to go down the day AFTER I weigh in - but it's ok, cuz my regular leader wasn't there and if I'm finally going to get my next star (that i've been waiting for for over a YEAR) I want her to give it to me ... so that's ok.
Life in the veterinary world is good - but man oh man ... some people just need a life. We get quite a few clients in that just want to chat chat chat - while I have phones ringing off the hook and people filling up my lil lobby. I feel for them for about a nanosecond, but please, I don't have time to socialize, I am not your entertainment LOL ... A lil small talk goes a long way, but please don't whip out the digital camera to show me Fluffy's new trick (snoring???) .. yes, someone wanted me to "watch" a black screen and listen to their pug (who are infamous for snoring anyway) and listen to see if something is wrong - um ..Do I look like the vet to you!?!?!? ... anyway ..just my weekly rant about crazy clients .. more to come, as they never give me any reason to run out of stories LoL ....
Will check back on Saturday or Sunday after WI - life just gets SO busy - and next weekend on Saturday a few friends and I are going to Downtown Disney to shop, hang, and of course, eat! but mostly to spend time together and relax without husbands or childrens ... oh yes, life is good....
Ok, so i work at a small vet hospital/clinic .. today I had to be there at 9am .. got there about 9:01a ... anyway ... as i pulled in the parking lot, i see an older couple walking witha dog, and the wife goes scurrying in the to the hospital while dad and dog sit down outside ~ I park my car, grab my coffee, banana, purse and keys and head in. the other receptionist is on the phone and I literally have my hands full with my sunglasses on (and this woman could CLEARLY see I walked in behind her. I haven't even set my stuff down and she's all antsy at the front desk like she has to go potty or something and (she's asian with broken english) ... " I need to order food" and she's all frantic like she's in some big hurry - I tell her I will be with her in just a minute (and my mind is like "LADY - i JUST got here, chill out" ... So, we have to order food (about 2x a week) cuz we can't stock everything as we don't have the room - I find out thru her chart (because of course, she doesn't remember which Rx she has) and tell her I will order her food and call her when it comes in - she says " I be back in 15-20 minutes" ... my response " The truck won't be here til Monday" .... she was like "HUH?" ... anyway, I won't bore ya, but you can see my morning started off with a lot of headshaking LoL ... I found out after she left and my friend got off the phone, that she had come in and was trying to talk over my friend while she was ON the phone with another client. Why are some people SO clueless????
Anyway - had a great OP day and did my 40-45m at the gym - tomorrow is a night off - not bad for someone who hates working out LoL ... from 0 to 5 days a week .. yessiree bob .. it's a good thang!
Why is it some days/weeks are SO easy to stay OP and sometimes ONE day is so impossible? So, i've been good for weeks now, really acutely aware of everything that passes my lips, and journaling like a madwoman - and exercising, OMG - the gym is the best thing for me. Yanno, I hate working out, I really do - but at least going to the gym with a gym buddy is workable. I had a feeling it would be way easier to get my exercise in this way, as I am SO SO unmotivated at home - regardless, I am getting in TONS of exercise. We go 5 days a week and for at least 30-45 minutes. Now that doesn't sound like much, but we're talking about a person (both of us) who NEVER worked out on any regualr routine basis EVER in our lives and now we're gym-junkies LoL ... Some nights it's easy to just chug along and some nights, like tonight, it's all I can do to get 30m on the treadmonster - which btw, is an evil machine, but not as evil as it's cousin, the eliptihell ... I still won't go on that much, it pains me, literally LoL ..
Weigh in is on Saturday, I pray for at least 1# to be gone - and I am that much closer to my goal ... we shall see!
Argh! I had a good long post and hit submit and the freaking thing timed-out ... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... Needless to say, I am doing well - lost 4# since the last time i posted (due to the flu and joined the gym, practically at the same time lol) ...
Will try to get back here more often - life just seems to get in the way! Gonna go visit a few more blogs and say hello to some people... if you're one of them, i'll be there soon!
Up and down - round and round - I'm still playing with the dang 150's .. last Saturday's WI was UP 1.6 ... wtf??? I was super OP and everything... I may not have made the best choices, but I was OP and accounted for everything - and was up almost 2#'s!?!? Am I destined to be here instead of the 140's like I have my goal set for? ARGH! 
Alas, this is another week and so far it's going down an eensy bit on the scale at home.. and I have the next 3 days to get rid of that 1.6 ... and try as I might (like I did for a whole year) I am determined to get under 150 - meh!
Will post on Saturday if I get a chance ... will be at WW, then work then out with dh for a celebration dinner - 22 yrs together :)
So it's Thursday now. Went out to TGIF's last night and stayed completely OP - actually only used 2 flexies. The Chicken Primavera was really good, only ate half of it, and had a salad. I had one of those mini desserts, comes in a shot glass, it's perfect serving size.
Had to go get another mammogram this morning, and possibly an Ultrasound. but everything went well and don't have to get anymore tests, i have healthy bewbies! yay!
Welp, work just called and said to come in since one of the girls called in sick - oy - thought maybe i would get out of even going in today lol ... but that's ok, my paycheck will be better because of it.. .time to get ready!
ok, i changed my goal date, only to give myself some kind of time-frame... if i make it, that's cool. if not... i march on!
I just took a deep thinking today - I realized that even tho I stayed just about the same as last year this time, I did accomplish something awesome. I maintained my wtloss for ONE WHOLE YEAR! That is super! So, now it's time to buckle down for awhile, get to my goal and be confident that I can maintain it too! Whoda thunk I could even lose the wt, let alone MAINTAIN it for so long, so now it gives me more confidence that I will never be overweight again ~ I spent over 25 yrs being 'fat' and I don't want to go there ever again,and I know I can do it cuz I have done it already for ONE year!
ah, epiphanies are awesome ....
now down to my goal ~ time to pull up my boot straps and just dig my heels in and DO IT! Then I can maintain the rest of my life :P
