It's been a while....

Ok so it's been a while, and the one person (hi mel!) that actually reads this probably doesn't even check it anymore due to my lack of posts.

Anywho, today is a weird day. It's dad's b-day, so it basically sucks. How am I dealing with it? I'm not...I'm pretending it's just another boring day at work. Mom asked me this morning if I wanted to help her plant the herb garden tonight (that's what we did last year for dad) and I said no (she knows I didn't get as much out of it last year as she did).

It made me feel really bad to say know, but honestly, I don't want to do something that forces me to think about it. I'm not in denial, I just don't want to be sad, because I wouldn't be sad if he was here and frankly I don't think he gives a shit if I plant herbs or not.

On a bright side the fact that it's his birthday means that it's almost my birthday! Wahoo for getting old right??

Went to the mall today and bought myself another birthday present, a $10 jean skirt, and guess what, I'm going back after work and getting the other color too. Why the hell not??

This weekend was nice and long and relaxing, just what I wanted it to be. I don't even remember which day every thing happened, but I know I did the following at somepoint:

* Went to the zoo with Mel and Cole (so much fun!)
* Went out in St. Pizzy with Nic, Josh, and Lyndsey (good times, stayed out way too late but what the hell)
* Got a real bed (well sort of) for Nic's house (can't wait to sleep on that next weekend!)
* Watched a shit load of TV and ate a shit load of bad (read: amazingly fat filled) food!

So all in all, life's been good.

Thursday

I woke up thinking today was Friday...that was a dissapointment to say the least...

Went to bed with a headache, woke up with a headache...good times...

Hopefully the day can only get better from here on out...

Got up and worked out this morning (after a big fight inside my head, "stay in bed", "go work out"...and on and on.

Gotta get to work...exciting stuff huh?

Day Three...moment of truth

So...I got on the scale this morning. We've been working on our relationship for a few days now and I think it's paying off! I lost 1.8 pounds this week (more than stupid Dan from Biggest Loser mind you!) and I'm feeling pretty darn good about that!

Today's going good. Nothing super stressful at work, getting stuff done which is nice.

Welp, gotta go...tryin me out some acupuncture today...have I mentioned I'm afraid of needles? Yeah...great

Day 2, take 2

The rest of the day went GREAT! lot's of water (and I mean LOTS of water), good eats, and lots more water.

We'll see what tomorrow holds!

Day 2

Day two is off to a good start! Woke up this morning and went to the gym...I'm now one of "those". I worked out, showered, and got ready for work. It actually works out really well for me on Tuesdays and Thursdays since I don't have to be at work until 10. I don't have to wake up horribly early (ok not early at all) and have plenty of time to work out and get ready. I also get to read when I'm on the eliptical which is pretty much the only time I read any more so all in all it's a nice way to start my morning!

Stayin' positive is the name of the game. Tonight Biggest Loser is on, which is always good motivation and tomorrow is weigh-in number 1 for this girl.

Biggest temptation so far: going to Chipotle yesterday and just getting an iced tea...I think I can do this no eating out for two week thing, but by far I am going to miss Chipotle the most.

Day 1

Day 1...not too bad...

Started off strong, good attitude good eating.  Then a patient brought us brownies...so what did I do, I ate 2 of them...

I felt AWEFUL

But then I went and worked out and now I don't feel so bad.  I'm not going to eat much for dinner.

All in all, not a horrible day, not a great day.

Last Supper

Well tomorrow's the big day!

This weekend was good and bad...On Friday night we went to Magianno's for dinner which was AMAZING, then we went and got Joey's birthday present and I bought my last article of clothing for a while.  Then on Saturday we went and worked out and then went [healthy] grocery shopping.  Today was Easter and I ate like a pig, but tomorrow it starts.

Plan for this week:

1) Stick to eating right, track EVERYTHING on weight watchers.

2) Work out (Monday after work, Tuesday and Thursday before work, and Saturday or Sunday)

3) DRINK LOTS OF WATER!

4) Stay positive! and be excited about this!
