Day 2 of the diet

Today I overslept.  Which means I accomplished absolutely nothing before rushing off to meet my friend Duane for lunch.  He had offered to buy and we had plans to meet at Casa De Lara at 11am.  I had a peanut sauce/broiled chicken wrap thing.  It was really good but right after we left I got a nasty headache.  I wonder if there was MSG in there.  That stuff triggers my migraines.  Anyhow, the lunch was great.  We had a great talk and decided to start meeting at the Princeton Club Mondays and Wednesdays @ 10am to work out together.  I think it will be a great motivation for going regularly. 

After leaving the restaurant, I stopped by Bob's work to drop off his glasses for him.  We chatted for a while before I had to head on to work.  It's always good to see him.

On my way to work I took a ton of Advil and some Vicadin for my migraine.  I ended up struggling with it all day at work.  It was constantly on the threshold of just barely being able to tolerate it so I stayed my whole shift but I was absolutely miserable.  I kept taking my anti-emitic and Vicadin and Advil.  I made an appointment to go back to the chiropractor.  Hopefully, that will help. However, at the moment, I am just proud of the fact that I was able to stay and finish my days work.

I didn't eat much after I got my migraine.  I couldn't even stomach the idea of food.  Since I didn't feel good, I didn't get any exercise in either.  I guess today was a bomb as far as the diet/exercise program goes.  Tomorrow is another day and I will make up for it. 

Right now, my headache is no longer bothering me...FINALLY!  I talked to Tina (my pastor) tonight.  I think I may start going back to church again.  My work schedule has settled down enough to allow for it and I think I am in the right mindset again.  (I had a momentary lapse of desire as of recent).  Time will tell.

Here's to tomorrow!  Smile

Diet time!

Last May I was on a diet that was working well and had lost 25 pounds in 8 weeks (3 pounds per week).  I was weighing in at 164.7 pounds.  I am 5'6''.  I was proud of myself for only having to diet another 2 months to be just about to my goal weight.  THEN, I got in an accident.  I totalled my car and had to wear a neck brace for a while.  I could have gotten killed.  I THOUGHT I was going to be killed as the accident played out.  I told myself I deserved to eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted it as consolation.  Because I was sore and had completely ticked off my body, I wasn't exercising at all anymore.  My weight managed to climb to 205 pounds since then.  Today I went back on my diet.  This site will journal my progress.  My weight today was 205.2.  My first goal is to lose 20 pounds.  I will be attending weight watchers meetings, going to the gym again, walking, everyday, and working my way slowly back into the running that I have always loved so much.  I will report my weight every Wednesday on this site. 

Today, I attended my first Weight Watchers meeting since May of 2005.  It went well.  However, I think I used to go to Wednesday morning meetings and I liked those better so that's the plan from now on. 

Bob met me for lunch and I had a good salad and a couple breadsticks.  I walked for 30 minutes outside before I punched in for work at 1pm.  It was a tad chilly but it still felt great to be DOING something.  It was invigorating. 

For supper I had raw veggies and fat free dill sauce.  I also had an apple with peanut butter (did you know Jiffy makes these great little peanut butter on the go cups that have just 2 oz of bliss in them...they are perfect for lunches) and a Special K yogurt bar (mmm...that was yummy!). 

Bob and I are going to walk to the bar here in the town we live.  I will just drink water while we get him practiced up for his Thursday night dart league.  I don't drink any alcohol when dieting.  The weight drops off a lot faster if you give up alcohol of any kind. 

Gotta go.  Wish me luck...I will need it.

movie about my life

TABLE cellPadding=20 align=center>
Quentin Tarantino
Your film will be 51% romantic, 32% comedy, 54% complex plot, and a $ 47 million budget.
He hasn't really made many films, but each successive one is a bigger and grander project ... and more violent. Karate CHOP! Your life story will probably star Michael Madsen, Uma Thurman, or some TV or movie star from the 1980s for which your film will be the comeback -- let's say Emilio Estevez. Maybe. Now that the QT is dating Sofia Coppola, maybe he'll get some tips about putting some lump-in-the-throat romantic moments in his films. Quentin's short directing resume includes Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Kill Bill Vols. 1 & 2.



My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

It has been forever

I am back!  I took a blogging vacation because my life has been so busy.  Just a quick update as I have a resume to put together for tomorrow for this awesome HR position that I think would be really excellent for me.  Basically, my biggest responsibility would be to publish, edit, and design the company newsletter.  That would be so cool.  And the pay is phenomenal...can't beat that.  Wish me luck!  (I don't feel like making up my resume....wahhh). 

Bob and I have been doing awesome!  Christmas Eve we did our xmas.  It was so cool.  We sat at the foot of my beautiful xmas tree and opened our gifts together.  I made out this year!  He got my a beautiful gold Citizen watch from Jared the Galleria of Jewelry, a body pillow Hugoo from Sharper Image ('cuz I need something to cuddle with after he leaves for work), and this really pretty moon and stars wall hanging because I love moon and stars.  His gifts were so romantic and thoughtful (he picked up on the fact that I needed a nice gold watch for when we're all dressed up).  I was so happy with all that he did for me. 

My parents spoiled me rotten at Christmas too.  I got a breadmaker (life long dream of mine), a bookcase (I really needed another one as I have a million books), a bunch of clothes, bath and body stuff, ornaments, dvds, cds, etc.  I couldn't have been happier.  Come to think of it, the rest of the family spoiled me too.  My siblings rock!

I got to hang out with my step-sis (Tarah) and her boyfriend Dave a couple days after Christmas.  That was great.  Tarah and I used to be best friends, which was how our parents met in the first place, but now we hardly communicate.  I still feel that same connection though every time we're together.  Her and Dave and I played dominoes for a few hours and then the 3 of us left to try a new Irish Pub in town.  We chatted and chilled and just had a wonderful time.  I was really glad to have gotten some hang out time with them. 

Speaking of Tarah, I am so proud of her!  She finally has the job of her dreams!  The kind of job that she got a degree for.  She even gets to go to New York sometime this year for a week long conference (she's always dreamt of going to New York).  If anyone deserves to make it I would say it's Tarah.  She has fought hard for all she has and she deserves nothing less than the best.

Bob took him and I out to a nice dinner on New Year's Eve.  We both got very yummy steaks.  Mmm.  I adore a great steak!  (Actually, I should make steak for Bob and I this weekend...hmmm).

I have off Thursday through Sunday so I plan on getting a lot done around the house.  I have a meeting for lunch Thursday with some people from church.  I am on the church health (growth) committee and we are having our first meeting that day.  I am pretty excited about this.  We'll see how it goes.  The committee is actually mostly women.....so hahaha men....finally you're not on top...atleast not this pile!  Ha!  (Sorry, I just had to...lol).

Right now I am at home trying to will my water to go down my sinks, toilet, and tub.  It's not working.  One of my pipes must be froze again.  I get so frustrated by this!  I hope it's above freezing tomorrow so I can use my water again.  I haven't had a problem really until it was below freezing for practically a whole week straight and I wasn't home much to run water and voila....frozen pipes awaited my return.  Yippee!  "I'm lovin' it".  Yeah, well I bet McDonald's doesn't have frozen pipes and nowhere for their used water to go.  Hmph.

I have the SIMS Deluxe Edition now.  I have never played with these but I can't wait to give it a try.  Who wouldn't love a game where you can create and control people?  Lol.  Gotta go.  Love ya all.  (Wow...I'm a Texan now).

Flowers for me?

I have had no time to update.  I will give no excuses though.  Lol.  Wednesday, Bob surprised me by having a beautiful bouquet of flowers delivered to my work.  There were roses and orchids and daisies and carnations and many other kinds of flowers in it.  The bouquet was a sunshine burst of many colors.  It was absolutely breathtaking.  Did I mention that I love that man?  I am so lucky.

I went out last night and did most of my Christmas shopping after work.  It was actually lots of fun.  Since it was so late at night I was the only person in the stores.  No crowds, no hassle, all the store helpers to myself.  It was great.  I had the clerks shopping for me!  Lol!  Afterwards, I went home and wrapped everything.  That was not so much fun.  : (  I am not very good at wrapping gifts.  Such a hassle!

I work all weekend which kind of has me bummed but oh well.  Atleast, I have Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday off next week!  Looking forward to that!  Actually, Thursday I was hoping to spend the day at my folks baking with my mom.  It's been a long time since we've done something like that together! 

I don't have much time so I should get going.  Just wanted to write a little something!
