4.6 pounds lost this week ...

Today is my Friday thank goodness. It has been a rough week. Tomorrow I go to Edmonton for an appointment (mammogram) so that will take up most of my day.

A co-worker is leaving us tomorrow, today is her BBQ, not sure how I will handle it but I will perservere. I have decided that I can have a full hamburger patty, no bun and lots of veggies & water. Marj brought me a piece of cheesecake too, which is 5 points, thankfully I have enough that I can have it.

Day 3 of my challenges went well. I was able to get 30 min on my bike in, it's been a long time since I dusted that off. Tomorrow will be my 1 restaurant meal for the week and I think I am going to Olive Garden. Depends on how I feel after the appointment. I am going to go shopping at Superstore though as I want to make 2 new dishes this week and our grocers don't carry some of the items.

WI last night, and I was down 4.6 so I am quite happy with that. Didn't stay for the meeting as I don't like the leader who was doing it last night. One more week and I have to re-new again, good thing Wednesday is payday next week.

Have to get back on a schedule next week as well as I have been slacking while the boss is away.

Week 2 begins ...

I'm definately not in the right headspace today. I guess it was all the Mother's Day festivities and such. Alex did text me in the morning which was nice but not having a mom to call or send flowers to really hits home. I put my mom's picture as my profile picture on Facebook and got lots of compliments on it. The only one I have is one of her in her wedding dress. She was a very beautiful woman. No wonder she was taken early in her life.


Today is lunch crunch. Tennielle was right about our bottoms hurting all weekend. But I guess that is what lunges and squats do to a person. Wonder what today holds in store. Not that I will ever like exercise but I don't mind this one. It is quite easy and it is only a half an hour 3 times a week.


My eating has to be modified as well. No more eating out all the time. Just once or twice a week. There is no excuse why I can not make something at home and have it after work or when I get time.


I went to see Thor last night. It was actually pretty good, I am glad I went. Well after the fiasco last night with Holly I needed something to calm me down. Sometimes I wonder why I work the 2nd job and I am hoping that after the wedding in 2012 I won't have to work it. Of course it will all depend on my raises at the full time job.


Speaking of the full time job, I had better get at it.

It is totally amazing how much more my heart beats when I add 30 seconds to my bike time. But day 3 on it, 11 min at 18kms so I am doing good. Well except the 6 wings I had for supper and the chocolate bar. Especially one day before weigh in. Am I stupid or what?

Last night was entertaining. Ted is back in town, and I sat and chatted with him for 45 min at Pizza Delight. I haven't seen him in like 6 years and back then I had a crush on him. Seeing him well brought that back and I am smiling ear to ear all the time. He wanted to see my vacation pictures so I added him to Facebook. Oh how I wish he would start chatting on there with me as well. I so want a date for the Pengrowth Christmas Party.

Lisa said she would go to the Infratech one with me so that is good. I get my 5 year watch this year, and although I say whoopie, I am quite proud of myself for making it 5 years in one job, a job I love. I do hope I will be there for a long time. See my work life is going great, my finances are almost where I want them, now just to find someone to share my life with. I hope that I found that person but we will see how it all unfolds.

I hope I sleep well tonight, I don't have to go get the truck as I had no deliveries tonight so I still have the truck here. Have my shower in the morning. Tomorrow is chilli day at work, and I have some oatmeal and milk at work so all I have to bring is fruit & veggies.

I hope I have a good WI tomorrow. It is time for this chickie to go to bed. Bon Nuit

Well here it is Sunday. WHAT A DAY!!  Ann had me up at 8am to go to Edmonton, we went to the WEM casino for awhile, then I went to Chapters and got a book, went to HMV got 2 CD's for Alex, went for lunch (had that food court Chinese crap, but it sure was good), then went to the Park 'N' Ride to get us to the Eskimos game.

Ann had her whole family there which was nice, she got to spend time with her cousin and his grandson, her mother in law and aunt and of course her hubby and her daughter. Then Alex and his friend Nate came and sat with me which was nice then I had someone to talk to. I had a stupid stadium hotdog which I shouldn't have had but oh well I love those dogs.

Then we stopped at Safeway on the way home and boy was it nice to be home after a long day. Alex then informs me the Cavalier is overheating but he is going to fix it and for me not to worry. Like that will happen, I worry about everything. Him and Jim are going to look at it, he seems to think it is just the thermostat. Thank goodness.

Had my shower and talked to a good friend who pushed me to get on that darn bike. And I did. 10.5 min holding steady at 18.7kM's. I am getting better. Now hopefully I will have enough energy to get up at 6 in the morning to do 10 min more. I know I am ready to do this now. A wake up call in the shower with my lower back hurting so much opened my eyes again about my weight. I will get this weight off. I know I will. Last week was a stay the same, this week is going to be a loss.

Well g'nite

Day 3, ha surprised you didn't I. Three days in a row I have blogged now. I told you I would try and post every day.

So I got on my evil contraption called my recumbant bike again today. I kept 'er steady at 20 kM's and was on it for 10 minutes. Wholly cow, my legs are going to hurt tomorrow. But tomorrow is weigh in, I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Was busy delivering tonight, had 8 but I am glad it was busy or I would have gone crazy with what happened at work today. I just wish people would keep their noses out of other peoples business when it doesn't concern them. And if something was said don't go blowing it out of proportion. Oh some times I hope I get to work in town soon but that doesn't look like it will happen. I guess it isn't on their list of priorities. But going to Edmonton for a team building exercise is...like WTF?

But I am off to bed. I have to get some cough drops tomorrow, I have this tickle in my throat and I am afraid to start coughing for fear I won't quit. So ciao.

Ahhh see I remembered tonight. Today was a typical Monday. Michelle didn't work as she was sick. Arlene was the bitch we all know she can be. Accusing me of assuming why Michelle wasn't at work. Well hell a friend of hers was killed in a car accident on the weekend and 3 of her friends are in the hospital, one is paralysed. I wouldn't go to work either.

Was a good day food wise. Everything is tracked, got all my water in (hopefully I won't be in the biffy all night). But I do have a major headache. But that is what only 3 hours sleep will do to a person. Once Dancing with the Stars is over I am done for the night.

I am going to get on the bike in the morning as I just can't tonight. I may not even last until the show is over. My deposit and my insurance was put through on my credit card today, I guess I have to go now...LOL

Well I am going to go take a couple Advil and see what will happen. Niters

It is time once again to start blogging. I have so much to say but always forget to say it. Lets see what's been happening...
It is Sunday and once again I was pissed off at work. I just get to have my shower and get to the grocery store and what happens? They call me. Oh how I hat working on an on call basis like this especailly on the weekends. But I did get 11 deliveries and made another $30 in tips. At the end of the month all my tips are going onto the VISA card to get it paid down.

My sister still hasn't talked to me, oh well her loss. I can't worry about what is up her ass anymore. I have tried to make contact 3 times and well nothing came of it so what ever.

I am still not moved into town for work. If it so happens I hope it happens before the snow flies. Oh how I hate travelling that road in the winter.

Tomorrow is another beginning to a short week thank goodness. Getting my hair did on Friday and my final football game on Sunday. Can't wait.

I paid my deposit on my trip to Venezuela. I can not believe that I am going to go there. In November I go to Seattle which I am looking forward to. Then Christmas at Alex's. It should be a end to the year.

Vicky isn't talking to me again. I don't get it but again I can't lose any sleep over it. Although she is a great friend I am sure I do things that drive her around the bend. Gail has offered to put flowers on my mom's grave for me. I really don't know how to react to that as no one has ever offered that. And for it to come from someone I don't really know in person, well I must say I am a lucky person to have Gail as a friend. I am now really seriously going to plan a trip to Ontario next year when there is another invasion. MissB from the weight watcher boards has been a God send as well getting me on track and helping me. I can't tell her how much it means to me that she is doing this. My pride gets in the way a lot and I don't ask for help when I need it.

I am excited about weigh in this week, I hope I did well again like last week. Here's to hoping.

Well gotta go to bed. Night all.
